Can't Forgive Yourself? Here's How to Move On

People enjoy time-travel movies like “Back to the Future” for good reasons. We all have things we wish we could do over or that we wish we could erase from our lives entirely.

We may have hurt someone we cared about or made a bad decision. We all regret something at some point. Most people carry regrets around with them like luggage.

Many people don’t realize just how much emotional baggage they are carrying around with them, and just how much that burden is draining their energy.

Even though you may always think of things you wish you could change… Have you ever considered how to forgive yourself for past mistakes instead?

You should clean up your past in order to gain energy and power for your present and future.

It doesn’t make sense to bring up the past and the negative feelings associated with it.

Unluckily, there are no DeLoreans and eccentric scientists ready to take you back to the past.

Despite how much you wish for it, you will never be able to change it, so don’t waste energy on it.

The past can seriously taint your future if you carry it around with you. This causes you to bring past mistakes and emotions into your current decisions and considerations.

3 Steps To Forgive Yourself For Past Mistakes

There is a simple visualization technique that can be used to release past events that still affect you today, and it can be done right at home with just a few items.

In five simple steps, you’ll be able to let go of yesterday.

You will also learn how you can begin investing that new energy into your future.

Where To Do It

The technique works best in a quiet space with no distractions. Do not allow yourself to be disturbed either.

Choose a quiet spot in your home where there won’t be constant traffic. Make sure everyone in the home knows that you will be in this area and you do not want to be disturbed.

Before you begin, turn off the television, your phone, and all other sources of noise and distraction so that you do not disrupt your own process.

Clean and organize your home to create a space that is uncluttered and quiet. As a result, you will be relieved of stress and be in a good environment to use this technique.

What You’ll Need

First, you’ll need the following:

long matches, such as those used for fireplaces
a beeswax candle
high-frequency music
a few scented incense sticks
tweezers

While this list may seem odd at first glance, keep in mind that this practice is actually quite similar to meditation. Your open and willing mind, and, hopefully, additional support from the elements, is all it needs.

While you can burn a wax candle, many people prefer beeswax because when it burns, it vibrates at the same frequency as your spine and brain.

High-frequency music can be a violin, Tibetan bowls or bells recorded on a recording device, or any other meditation music that you normally listen to.

Sandal tree is the most popular choice for karma-correcting exercises and should be the scent of your incense stick. Before you begin, light the candle, play your music, and diffuse your scent.

1. Prepare Your Mind

For this exercise, it’s important to clear your mind, though it’s not always easy, especially in today’s busy society. There is a good chance your mind is rarely, if ever, clear during the day or at night.

Spend about ten seconds without thinking anything… even the thought “I have no thoughts right now”. Let yourself relax naturally, as forcing your body into a relaxed state won’t work. This technique relies on your subconscious mind to guide you.

Therefore, let your logic observe what is now happening without being able to intervene or add anything to what is happening.

2. Visualize The Event

Once you feel calm and relaxed, take one of the long matches and the tweezers and hold them in your right hand. Make sure you have the tweezers by the brimstone at the top of the match. You should allow your subconscious to visualize the event in your life that is really holding you back at this time.

Keep in mind that you may see people and/or events you no longer think about. It’s also likely that you will feel different emotions. There’s no need to be afraid. There is nothing wrong if your subconscious shows you a loved one, a friend, or a family member. Give your subconscious mind the freedom to do what you need it to without interfering.

3. Establish a connection

The next step is to focus your imagination on relating the event you’re visualizing, or the stress your subconscious is showing you, to the match you held in your tweezers. Then, the part without the brimstone can be lit with a match.

As it’s burning, imagine the stress or the event itself going up in flames. You shouldn’t concentrate on the match burning, but rather the event you are working on burning away.

In essence, you are burning away this stress. By doing so, you are making your subconscious stop considering it an important event. That lesson in life is now being burned into your subconscious.

During this process, you may experience tingling or warmth in different parts of your body. Perhaps you may even become emotional and start to cry. Everything you’re experiencing is normal, so don’t judge it.

Multiple matches may be needed for very powerful stress. Don’t forget that you can use as many matches as you want for a stress. After you’ve completed the task you’re working on, light a final match and imagine how you would have acted if you experienced it today, with the wisdom you now possess.

After you have completed the process, you can repeat it for the next stress, but try to keep the sessions under an hour. For the best results, always allow your subconscious to lead instead of following your logic.

By doing so, you can regain all the energy you have lost due to stressful events in your past that you cannot change. Using your newly found energy today will give you the boost you need to succeed!
