So in my last post I spoke about forgiving others, but I left out a step, forgiving yourself. In step 2 it says to remember ways you have mistreated others that are similar to the way someone else mistreated you. This can help you relate better to the person who hurt you and soften your judgment and anger towards them, hence making it easier to forgive them.
But before that, you have to forgive yourself for your own "less than becoming" behaviors. This has entirely to do with loving yourself, ALL of you, not just the parts that are deemed acceptable. After all, that's what really loving someone is, accepting all of them, both the darkness and the lightness.
Shadow therapy, which may be done in the context of psychedelic psychotherapy, can aide in this process. I strongly encourage you to listen to the podcast I have posted whether you suffer from low confidence, lack of self love, or not.
It is an exciting and enlightening speech for anyone to hear.
Speech delivered by Researcher and Author, Ann Shulgin, at Mind States Conference in Jamaica in October 2002.
