Let go of your mistakes, write letters to the past

Today I will talk about an interesting technique for exploring the past and releasing experienced memories. Why do it at all? Throughout our life various good, bad things happen to us. We can remember them, or forget them, but they all constitute our experience, which is stored in our subconscious. And as a good experience adds us energy for later life, bad memories take it away. And one of the important steps on the path of self-development is the awareness and acceptance of our past experience.

Today we will write letters. It will be necessary to remember people, it is desirable to be from three or more people whom we offended in our lives. And as many people who hurt you. Of course, it would be more effective to talk about it live with them, but it is not always easy. There is a simpler, but at the same time effective way - to write a letter to them in which to tell you what you feel or feel at that moment, what a sediment it has put off in your life. There is no need to do it with anger, blame or something else, it is important to forgive or ask for forgiveness for past offenses. All the same, you have already experienced this for a long time; do not leave in yourself those negative feelings that you had.

I would like to add, it is necessary to write these letters, and not to mentally compose them in my mind and of course not to lie to myself when writing them.

When you do this - re-read the letters, try to dream about what would have happened if you had sent these letters and they reached. What would those people feel? When this is done - go to the next part.
Now imagine that if you sent these letters and they reached? Try to imagine in your mind how it would all be. As the person to whom you wrote the letter gets it, opens and starts reading. What he would feel, what would be the expression on his face. Do you think he would like to answer?

And regardless of how they answered the previous question, we will still answer, do it for them. Now write yourself a letter on behalf of that person. Try to get used to him, how he felt about those events, to you, that he could answer you? Do you think he would forgive? I asked forgiveness?. Write the answers from everyone you wrote to.

When this is done, rest for a while, and then re-read these letters.

The interest of this exercise is that it can be done any number of times. Often, the sickest moments from the past life are not immediately recalled, some of them might have been forgotten, but from time to time they are still remembered. And as soon as you remember such an episode from your life - now you know what to do with it, how to let go of the past.
