Here’s an exercise I found very helpful many years ago that I invite you to try.
Sit down, close your eyes, and get quiet. Imagine you have a pile of responsibilities, burdens, and regrets sitting next to you. In front of you is a brilliant, all-loving light a short distance away.
Pick up each specific person, thing, circumstance, or condition and carry it to the outstretched arms of this all-loving light. It does not matter if it’s a big or a tiny thing. It does not matter what it is, how long ago, or whether it’s some concern for the future or a past regret. Include them all in your pile.
Say something like this as you carry them all one by one to the light: “I can’t take care of this. I was mistaken. I never could, and neither did you expect me to. I trust it to you. You have been waiting for me to give it to you.”
Make sure you also carry all those you love, feel responsible for, and worry about, and place them in this light. Believe me, they will be in much better hands.
You might want to have a fresh box of tissues nearby.


Thanks for this! I SO SO SO SO NEED to do this NOW! It will take some time to complete, but that’s okay. The way you put it is do-able. I will start tonight.
