Find in a comfortable position.

Find in some stillness.

Closing your eyes.

And being aware of your breath.

Allow the breath to flow in slowly.

And longer,

Deep breath out.

Allow yourself to absorb these readings.

A grievance is a strong negative emotion connected to an event in the past that is being kept alive by compulsive thinking.

By retelling the story in the head or out loud of what someone did to me or us.

A grievance will only contaminate other areas of your life.

For example,

When you think and feel your grievance,

Its negative emotional energy can distort your perception of an event that is happening in the present or influence the way in which you speak or behave towards someone in the present.

One strong grievance is enough to contaminate large areas of your life and keep you in the grip of the ego.

Be aware of the thoughts that keep it alive.

Forgiving your enemies is essentially about the undoing of one of the main egoic structures of the mind.

Forgiveness happens naturally when you see that it has no purpose other than to strengthen a false sense of self,

To keep the ego in place.

The past has no power to stop you from being present now.

Only your grievance about the past can do that.

The baggage of old thought and emotion.

Thank you for listening.
