Letting Go of Hatred and Resentment, Poisonous Emotions

There are many tools available to transform negative emotions. We will use both Eastern and Western techniques to help let go of resentment and hatred. A Yoga breathing technique called Nadi Suddhi is used here. Being hateful. Being resentful. These are the feelings that go together. They are much stronger and more vicious than the feeling of anger. Being angry can be just one day or many days. But as you harbor the feeling of hatred or resentment, these feelings get rooted very deep into your heart and into your guts. Into the body cells. And stiffness and tightness leading to a very constipated state. In order to transform these negative emotions, you must practice to let go of hatred and resentment you hold in your hear.

In this constipated state, anger and whatever ill feeling you have grow and grow their tenacious roots. It’s like weeds that hold onto the ground so tight and cannot be rooted out. These get so strong and solid.

Many people get angry and so hateful because some injustice was done to them. Most likely. These people feel they are rightfully justified to feel this way. They start to do negative things to their offenders as retribution. As victims, they do lots of wrong and ill things; wishing bad things against those who hurt them or who inconvenienced them.

Feeling victimized and unjust things done to them, they wish to teach lessons to their offenders and harbor ill feelings toward the offenders whom they hate and resent.

As victims, they snicker and enjoy the misfortune and mistakes made by their offenders. This process is so poisonous. When you continue to be angry, to be hateful and resentful, the poison of all the negativity only comes back to you.

Eventually you lose the lightness of the heart. the joy of yourself. If not for the others who hurt and violated you, you must learn to let go. You must learn to forgive for your own sake.

If you are not big enough to forgive, this is just done to practice at first. Always practice.

5 Exercises of Letting Go of Hatred and Resentment:

[1] Spend 10- 20 minute of time alone in a safe place where you are not being disturbed.
Write down a few lists of incidents, places, and people that caused you to hate and resent.

Write down in detail how you felt and how these incident affected you.

[2] Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Suddhi Pranayama)
Follow the instruction in the Video.
Do just a little daily. Inhale light and exhale pain, sadness, anger… all the feelings associated with the strong hatred and resentment you felt.

[3] Write your own affirmation and recite daily.
Here is example:
I , (your name) am a beautiful and gifted person, protected and loved by (God of your belief or the Universe, Higher Power). What happened in my past does not define who I am.
I am willing to release (the person who hurt you) to his higher good.
I release myself to my higher good.

[4]Every teacher, life philosopher, psychologist and researcher has said that your hatred, resentment and your punishing someone will not change what happened to you. It is only the habitual mind that is caused by ignorance and stupidity that keep you hating and resenting. It is almost as if you chose to live in regurgitation of bitter and hurtful memories and not honor yourself now or in new possibilities that a future brings.
