Many people carry with them a great burden of guilt. Guilt about things they have said or not said that they should have, or about things that they have done or not done.
I have found that a key to my own personal healing has been to realise that I need to forgive myself and release my burden of guilt before I can forgive others.
So, a little exercise for you – sit in a quiet place and think aboutt he things you feel guilty about, that you need to forgive yourself about.
1. Write them down.
2. Imagine the list tied to a helium baloon.
3. Release the baloon andwatch it fly away into the sky, becoming smaller, and smaller and smaller until it disappears out of existence.
4. Look at the list again; how do you now feel about each one? A clue to whether or not you have forgiven yourself is whether you have released the need to beat yourself up over the issue.
Good luck and let me know how you get on.

That is indeed spot on simple, practical and very upfront and focused Nic.
I just released and forgave myself for being harsh with my daughter. I can frankly tell that I do not feel or need to beat myself over this issue, not any more. Whether she does or does not is her ball game , right Nic.
Well dear Nic
I am with Soka Gakkai and the Nichiren Daishonin chants from Verses taken from the Lotus Sutra.
This goes a lot deeper than just incidents and happenings which smear or make for sludges Nic. They actually are residual karmic bondages which get played out over a time phase, chosen and enacted in universal time.
I am an integrated alternative therapist with a lot of skills , technologies and methodologies, taken from the vast array of re-legion culture civilizations spread over our entire world. We can surely make some interesting findings and reaches into multipolar cross ethnic cultures which do cause minor setbacks in the smooth flow of classrooms, societies and organizations.
Relationships, inner governance and timely remedial and infrastructural checks are my specialization
