Lately, I have been focused on finding ways to let go of the resentment I have held onto for various people, many of whom are not even present in my life anymore because I recognize the negative emotional, mental, and physical effects it is having on me. I have no doubt that the negativity is affecting my current life by resulting in me being more closed off and less trustworthy of others in general. I want to let go of the frustration I have inside, especially that which is directed to others, so that I can focus on more positive emotions and thoughts. Aside from the The Total Truth Letter Practice and Ho’oponopono, there is a visualization exercise that I tried, which focuses on one person and one memory that has resulted in feelings of resentment. I wanted to record this, with some edits, for myself so that I can continue to do this visualization moving forward with all the various memories I have that I hold resentment for.
Before beginning, please take a seat and take note of which person and memory you would like to focus this session on. Feel free to move around and shake out any excess energy from your legs and arms that you have stored in your body or roll your head around a few times in each direction to loosen up. Then settle back into your seat and ensure your body is in comfortable position leaving your legs and arms uncrossed. When you are ready, close your eyes. We will begin by taking three deep breaths.
Breathe in, hold and breathe out. Inhale, hold and exhale. Take another breath, hold and release.
Visualize a white movie screen appearing in front of you. Hear a whirring sound coming from behind as the screen flickers when it begins to roll footage that is bringing up a scene from your past. It is of a memory about something someone said or did that is bringing up a lot of resentment for you.
As the memory plays on the screen, allow any emotions and thoughts to come up as they arise. Do not suppress any of them.
When the scene comes to a pivotal moment when you feel your emotions are high, pause that scene on the screen.
Imagine yourself getting up from the chair to walk up to the screen and carefully analyze the frozen image, starting with the background of the scene and where it is taking place. Once you have looked at the environment, shift your focus to yourself and the other person taking note of the posture of each person and the facial expressions on the screen at the moment you paused it.
Then pull that person out of the screen so that they are standing in front of you, now unfrozen, but not speaking and waiting to hear what you have to say to them.
If you have played that scenario multiple times in your mind in the past and wished you had said something different, now is your chance to say those things to them exactly as how you wished you had said it when it happened in real life. Notice what expressions come over their face.
Now take your time to voice all the things that you have been wanting to say to them, but never have in real life. Tell them how you feel and what you are thinking in relation to what they have done to you in the past. Do not hold back. If you find yourself feeling defensive allow that feeling to come through. This is your chance to release everything that you have ever wanted to say, but never have. Continue to watch the facial expressions change on their face as you say all these things to them.
Begin to wrap up what you want to say to this person, ensuring that you release everything that is inside you. Once you are done, you may now put them back on pause and place them back into the screen.
Now imagine you are a movie director with complete control of everything related to the scene and you want to utilize your power to change the way it ends from how it happened in your past to a way you would like it to end. Since it is still on pause, you have the ability to easily edit whatever you want to set it exactly as you want it. Begin by changing the expression and body language of your own self then proceed with doing the same with the other person.
When you have set everything exactly as how you want it, allow the scene to continue to play. This time let the scene play out with the ending that you want to happen.
As the scene comes to an end, watch the screen flicker off as the whirring sound stops and quiets.
Once again, feel yourself compelled to stand up from your seat and walk towards the white movie screen. Reach out and roll the movie screen up like a piece of paper. Once fully rolled up, hold it with your arms outstretched with both your palms up the roll laying in your hands as an offering. Ask your higher power team to shine their healing positive light onto that roll.
Watch as the roll begins to float up off the palms of your hands slowly moving upwards above your head and turning itself vertically. Feel a portal open at the top of your head at your crown chakra. That rolled up movie screen then moves to enter your crown chakra dropping fully into all the chakras in your body becoming a part of you, exuding a more positive feeling related to that person and circumstance than it ever has before.
Know that this memory has been energetically charged with healing to help mend and transmute the resentment and any other negative thoughts or emotions that are held inside and to create a more positive interaction with this person in the future as it may apply.
To end this visualization, give thanks to your higher power team for helping you to transmute the energies related to this memory. Take a deep breath of gratitude to help you come back into your body. Breathe in, hold and breathe out. Begin to move your body, with your hands, feet or legs. Inhale, hold and exhale. And when you are ready you may open your eyes to end this visualization.
