Holding onto regret is like dragging the weight of the past with us everywhere we go.
Holding onto regret is like dragging the weight of the past with us everywhere we go. It drains our energy, leaving less available for life in the present because we are constantly feeding an old issue. This attachment can cause illness the same way watering a dead plant creates decay. We know that something new and beautiful can grow in its place if we only prepare the soil and plant the right seeds. We also know that we create our lives from our thoughts, so dwelling on the past may actually recreate a situation in our lives where we are forced to make the choice again and again. We can choose to move on right now by applying what we have learned to the present and perhaps even sharing with others, transforming the energy into something that is constructive and creative for ourselves and others.
Forgiveness is the soothing balm that can heal regret. In meditation, we can imagine discussing the issue with the self of our past and offering our forgiveness for the choice. In return, we can ask for our selves' forgiveness for keeping them locked in that space of judgment for so long. We may also want to ask forgiveness from anyone else who may have been affected and perhaps offer our forgiveness. By replaying the event in our minds, we can choose a new ending using all that we now know. Imagine that you have actually gone back into the past and made this change, and then say goodbye to it. Release your former self with a hug and bring the forgiveness and love back with you to the present. Since we are usually our harshest critics, it is amazing how powerfully healing it can be to offer ourselves love.
Keeping our minds and our energy fully in the present allows us to fuel our physical and emotional healing and well-being today. This action frees our energy to create the dreams we dream for the future. By taking responsibility and action in the present, we can release our hold on the past.
How can we find lasting peace in an ever changing world? In this course, Isha Judd teaches powerful tools for expanding - and stabilizing - a permanent state of inner peace and fulfillment, that will accompany us wherever we go. In this course, you will learn the four "facets" that form the basis of Isha's teaching. Along with practice sessions and useful tips, the course also explores many of the illusory, fear based beliefs that impede us from living a life of joy and freedom in every moment. The tools that Isha shares in this course are a practical and extremely powerful way to reconnect with our true selves and move beyond the fears and judgements of the mind. When you have finished, you can continue using them in your life: you will find that the growth you experience through their practice is exponential and never runs out.
