4 Steps to Letting Go of Resentment

Letting go of resentment can be hard.

Now, if you've ever had a healing session where you released some resentment about something, you've probably experienced some initial exhaustion, then a growing lightness or vigor.

The exhaustion is because harboring negative emotions is a great strain on your body. When the strain is relieved, your body suddenly heaves a BIG sigh of relief and kind of collapses.

We don't realize how exhausting it is to carry all these burdens.

Many of my clients don't know how to access or move into a place of forgiveness, because it's so foreign a thought. So to get you started in being able to let go, I've broken it into 4 different steps.

4 STEPS TO LETTING GO OF RESENTMENT

1. Get in a quiet place. Find a spot where you won't be disturbed. This could be anywhere that works for you. For me, sometimes being outside in the woods, surrounded by nothing but trees with a nice rock to sit on, works best. Maybe you have a favorite chair inside or on your porch. Whereever you choose, relax and center yourself with some deep, SLOW breaths.

2.Visualize. Choose that someone you want to forgive. Visualize who ever has caused that inner resentment (I suggest you start with YOURSELF) and visualize you/him/her surrounded by a dark field of energy. See the real you beside this person with that darkness around you as well.

3. State the affirmations below that appeal to you. Letting go of the anger and anxiety that comes with resentment can be hard. These affirmations for anxiety and letting go of resentment will help you move out of the past and into the present. Say them slowly and with emotion. Repeat them while you visualize this dark energy SLOWLY clearing from yourself AND the other person. Imagine and FEEL (if you can) something leaving your body...

"I choose to forgive myself, and as I do, it becomes easier to forgive others."

"Each day is a new opportunity to heal, and today is the first day of my new life."

"I forgive everyone from my life in the past and LOVE myself into the future."

"The past is gone.  I live only in the present."

"The past has no effect on my present."

"I choose to let go of my resentment." "I choose peace and forgiveness."

"I forgive you and set you free."

"I release this resentment from my body, mind, and soul, and I forgive you. I am now free."

"This resentment... I am letting it go."

"I heal myself and my life and I forgive all who have hurt me... including myself."

4. Visualize and affirm again. Once you feel like it's gone or significantly reduced, then fill both of your bodies with beautiful white light. That light is SOURCE energy, perfect love, healing energy, and deep peace. See both of you healed and whole, and once done, say "I let go. I set you free" and see the person happily fading away until they are gone. Finish with "And so it is done. Thank you."

When you let go of that resentment, you free your body of strain and stress.

Being in a state of negative emotion is tiring! Its like plugging something into an outlet when you need a converter. It's not only drains the battery, but can totally kill it. If you want to be happy and successful, you've got to make sure you're plugging into the the right outlet, with the right tools, to get the energy you need.
