This meditation is designed to help heal resentment. Begin by finding a comfortable seated position, closing your eyes, and taking a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you continue to breathe deeply, bring to mind any resentment you might be holding onto. Visualize it as a heavy weight that has been carried with you for far too long.

Take this time to give yourself permission to be upset.

Observe how you feel.

Don't resist it.

Where is your anger in your body?
