An Exercise For Forgiveness

[sage]

Then later in the evening I started in on the first excercise. I did have one question about writting the paragraph that describes this person. Should I include both positive and negative? I did that, but the feelings I am harboring stem from the negative aspects of this person. Those are what I really want to get to. I have a hard time just focusing on the "bad".

Water -- for the first part of the exercise just write down the bad. Plenty of time to focus on the good in the later steps!

I must say that I could not even complete the paragraph as I knew the next step was looking at these traits through ME. Already MANY thoughts kept flooding my brain about that. I kept trying to focus back on my person, but finally just layed in bed and let the thoughts happen. I will work on part one again today.

Wow. That's really interesting! When I did the workshop the steps were laid out 1 at a time so I didn't know in advance that I was going to have to hold up the mirror and bright light to myself.

Hmmmm. Well, good for you for going with the flow, so to speak. Sounds like this exercise is really going to be fruitful for you.
