Ep. 32 | Using a Poison Pen Letter to Heal Hurts

Ep 32 | Using a Poison Pen Letter to Heal HurtsWhen we hold on to negative energy, it saps us of our creativity, health, and well-being. We let it steal our joy. We become so wrapped up in the wrong that was done to us that we can’t enjoy the present. When we hold onto unforgiveness, it can bring bitterness and anger into our experiences and relationships with others. “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” BuddhaIn this episode, Kim discusses the effects of holding onto grudges when they are, in fact, quite painful to maintain:Why do we keep wounds open and active, living in past experiences of pain which prevent new experiences? What keeps us stuck when we want to move on? Why we all need to write a poison pen letter to release the people who have wronged us. In the end, we can free ourselves.
