What was all this telling me? Forgive?

What was all this telling me? Forgive?
Hi Everyone,
Paul came to see me the other day (not his real name). He complained that he always felt physically unbalanced. Whenever he was standing he felt as if he was going to fall. I suggested he see a doctor first and get checked out, which he did. His results showed everything was in order. This further added to his confusion. Also, due to the strain of trying to keep his balance, Paul developed neck and back pain; his calf muscles gave him a lot of discomfort and in his own words. “My calf muscles at times just lock up, cramp and feel as solid as a rock”
He spent countless sessions and lots of money in trying to elevate his symptoms. The symptoms just persisted. Paul further developed, anxiety and stress always, thinking he was about to have a heart attack or stroke. At times panic got the best of him. What’s more he was desperate to accomplish his goals, both academic and in spots. It was at this time Paul decided to see me.
It soon became apparent to me that Paul harbored a lot of anger and resentment, towards some of his lectures and people he hung out with; including himself. This has been going on for years. Anytime he got anxious, stressed, angry or felt fear the first thing he noticed was that his physical balance becomes severely affected. What an indicator I thought to myself. His mind and body energy systems became so distorted that it also affected his nervous system. I then explained to Paul, that when you get angry you get in the way of allowing your creative power to help you achieve your goals and as a result you don’t move forward.
If you’re carrying anger then you’re setting up barriers for yourself. When you continue to carry anger you create more barriers and in the end you end up moving further away from improving your life and achieving your goals all because you choose to get angry and blame everybody and everything for your predicament; stay angry or carry anger everyday.
Your creative power is at work constantly but the fuel that drives that power is not anger. Its compassion, understanding, love, goodwill, inner peace and Balance. Anger stalls the creative process. Anger is like putting sugar in the gas tank of your car; it will not only stall your car it will destroy your engine (your mind). Similarly, carrying anger will not only stall your life, but has a potential to destroy it.
I then got Paul to do a simple exercise. I told Paul to let go of his anger and resentment, as best he can, for each person that he is blaming for his condition. Then in his mind to forgive them, again as best he can. This included anger towards himself. (This is most important). It was almost miraculous, how he virtually felt his balance come back almost instantly. From Paul’s story, I hope you can see that forgiveness, especially forgiving yourself; plays a large part in releasing negative emotions and healing to take place.
By the way look out for next week’s newsletter. You will be in for a treat. I will introduce you to my American mate an ex-marine who I have befriended. He does very similar work that I do. Ken Jensen, an amazing man.

Dear Richard,

I don't remember how I came across your website, but I am very much lucky to have done so. I'm still a little new in following a lot of your works, so I'm just going to leave you a small note instead of 1001 questions.

Thank you for feeding my thoughts with some of yours, I need some moments to think and contemplate before I come to you with my thoughts.

I am very much looking forward to learning some more so I can be free.

Until then,
Best wishes
