Liberating Pathways
1. Identify whether you’re feeling sorry or sorrow for yourself.
2. If the condition is sorry for yourself, bring embodied righteous anger to the rescue. Victimhood is denial of justifiable anger. After you feel the anger, allow it to dissipate and follow the number 3 instructions. The righteous anger moves you from victim to wounded hero.
3. If the condition is feeling sorrow for yourself, allow it to settle within you. Then engage and embody memories of courageous, honorable, and compassionate action for yourself or others you love. You can also include righteous anger if warranted, but always allowing the ager to move on after identified.
4. Allow the lauded memories to engulf you until you begin to feel the mindbody healing that is taking place.
5. Celebrate discovering the strength that remains hidden within you until you engage your worthiness in the face of sorrow: an expression of existential elegance.
