Working Through Resentment

This meditation guides you through realising unresolved resentment. We will first bring about a situation which has upset us and have our Perfect Nurturer help us process our experience with compassion.

Transcript

Find the meditation posture.

Push the crown of the head up towards the ceiling.

Start settling in.

And now take a deep,

Deep breath.

And exhale.

Once again,

Super deep breath in.

And exhale.

And once again,

Super,

Super deep breath in.

And exhale.

Good.

All right.

Now,

When we start,

Just feel into a little bit of competence,

Confidence,

And remind yourself that you are able to explore.

It's like,

Yeah,

We're going to be exploring the mind.

I can do that.

I can do a good job of that.

Maybe even like sit a bit taller.

Bring your chest up and out,

Shoulders back and down.

And just for a moment,

Let yourself feel good about yourself.

Just the best you can.

Good.

All right.

So now,

So we're going to work on resentment.

So bring to mind a situation that you're upset about,

That you're resentful about.

Let it trigger you a bit.

And now,

Immediately kind of hop out of the first-person perspective and see yourself from the third-person perspective and from a very wise and compassionate perspective.

And see how there is some cause for resentment,

Some cause for upset.

Probably many other people in this same situation would feel upset.

Now,

Why don't you have your perfect nurturers come to you.

So here you're now in the first-person perspective again.

And they see that upset.

They're like,

Yeah,

Sure,

Of course you're upset about this.

It's difficult.

And now they respond in just the right way.

Maybe they kind of lean in,

Tilt the head.

They're like,

Yeah,

Friend,

It's difficult.

And so the posture that they're holding towards you is seeking to understand.

And then underneath that is love towards you.

And compassion because they know that there's some suffering around this.

And now you're still with them.

Go ahead and give voice to whatever is still bothering you about this.
