It may be that you have had a negative, horrible, traumatic, awful experience which has continued to scare you and limit you throughout your life.
My solution, through a workshop, was to welcome the perpetrator into my light.
I had wrestled with the consequences for many years and was able to take steps toward my own light.
But I still felt hurt and broken and unable to participate in much of the good I saw around me.
As I realized how hurt and unresourceful, how limited in his ability to experience good, the perpetrator was, I was finally able to realize that I could shine my light upon him.
I had learned about my light and learned how to express it widely and freely and imaginatively.
I had learned how valuable I am, regardless of how I was treated.
I had learned that I am happy, because I know myself to be happy.
I had learned that no one else’s actions could take away from who I am.
I had learned that my right to happiness is a birthright and that I can find it within and it will express itself without.
My perpetrator had never figured out any of this for himself.
Despite his cruel limitations, he, too, has a right to happiness.
As he could not find these for himself, I now know, that I can bring him into my light.
