ACCEPTING ALL OF ME
© 2004 Melynnique Seabrook

1. The anger I feel has covered over my fear of feeling my feelings, whatever they may be-guilt, sadness, blame, fear of letting go, etc. I need not punish myself or others because I am angry. I can release my anger by observing myself from an objective place outside myself. When I am witness to my own emotions they can begin to flow and dissipate.
   
   
2. Underneath my anger is my fear of being vulnerable, soft, open and loving. I allow myself to release that fear that may have originated by being punished for releasing and showing my emotions when I was little. I release all fear of being punished. Deep inside me I am open, soft and loving. That is the core of my being and my connection with God, the Spirit, inside me.
   
   
3. I have alienated a part of myself that has felt it had to be strong, hard, self-protective and closed in order to survive because of fear. I can heal that part of myself by being willing to communicate with it and allow it to receive love from within my own being.
   
   
4. My tears are my connection with my heart and my feelings. Tears wash me clean of the past and bring me back to my true self and my heart. They bring me the communication of love with my deepest feelings.
   
   
5. Within the sanctuary of my communion with myself, healing for that part of myself can come. I allow forgiveness to flow. I ask the part of me that has been afraid, to receive forgiveness.
   
   
6. I allow compassion to flow from within my own heart for that part of myself that is afraid to love and to be loving.
   
   
7. I allow myself to receive the bounty of the universe that can flow when I am open to forgiveness, compassion and self-acceptance.
   
   
8. Self-Acceptance is at the core of all healing. I let love and total acceptance flow into the part of myself that has been hurt. Whenever I feel anger, I can allow healing by being willing to feel whatever is going on inside me and connecting with myself, through the depths of my own heart.
