Close your eyes and relax, excluding all caring thoughts from your mind. When totally relaxed, slowly bring what you want from life into your mind. What are your dreams and desires in life? For a few minutes, very pleasant ideas shall sail in your mind: what kind of a job status you wish for yourself or a life partner, what car you want to ride in, and where you want to spend your vacations. Slowly, soon after that, the hazards that may be blocking your goals shall start peeping in. A domineering boss, a competitive colleague, lack of economic resources, etc., and you may begin wishing to eliminate all those blocking your way to your dream life. The unpleasant incidences shall creep in, the people who think ill of you and whom you cannot ignore or forgive, people who do not value your dreams, even if it were your parent, spouse, any close member of your family or a friend, they were the people who did not help you out; they were not with you in moment of need: a teacher who does not grade you well; a boss who is more favorable to your colleague; a father who supports other sibling or a beloved who has set too high expectations.
Your breathing rate is quickened, your face has started flushing, your heart is pounding, your stomach is churning, and your whole body gets into an intense and turgid muscular state. You are awakened in an intense emotional state, ready to do anything to remove the blocks to achieve your personal goals. So far, you may have considered yourself “friendly,” the most congenial and accommodative person, but now you can no more “forget” and
“forgive”….Why?
