Many people would like to experience peace of mind yet, their sense of guilt makes them weary. Would you like to relieve some burden and heal more than your mind?  Learning to reframe your perspective will lighten your load and jumpstart your life.  Consider these tips to help you along your road to emotional recovery:

1) Releasing others releases yourself.  You restore your innocence and guiltlessness whenever you choose to release others from perceived burdens.  Forgiveness has restoring power.  As long as you permit yourself to feel guilty, or act in ways to influence others to feel that way, you are choosing to listen to the voice of ego.  

2) You are in charge.  You may assume people must choose to forgive you before you can truly forgive yourself.  That's not true.  You are in charge of how you view yourself.  If you wish to be free from emotional pain, you only need to exchange your sense of guilt for innocence.  What other people think begins and ends in you.

3) Those who have not yet learned need teaching, not attack.  Not everyone knows that freedom is only a thought away.  If you look for guilt in other people or reinforce reasons why other people should feel guilty, then you aren't doing yourself any favors.  Any negative energy you nurture or direct will reverberrate back on you.
