What to do when you feel resentment!




I was talking to one of my class members this morning. I teach Spiritual Development every week and she is one of my most loyal students. She was talking about her elderly mother. Even with a brother and other family members nearby, her mother only calls her to pick up things for her or to ask her to come to her house to check something or to take her to the doctor's office. When she has some problem that she always calls her.
She said she resented it and didn't sound too happy with the other family members because they never really stepped up to help out with mom.

As we talked, I pointed out to her that her mother calls her because she can count on her and she knows it. I also told her that there will come a day when she can't do these things for her and she will wish she could hear her mother's voice on the phone asking her to do something.I told her she should have love in her heart when she does these things and should not be concentrating on the others and what they might or might not be doing.

I also told her that it was clear that she was not in a state of awareness, the now or gratitude when she felt this way and to ask herself what she needed to know about herself for her greatest and highest good,spiritually speaking, of course. It was also clear to me that there is something she needs to forgive.

When you feel resentful pay closer attention to this emotion than you normally do. You need to search inside yourself for the true gift of knowledge this gives to you and it is always there. Resentment is not loving, most of all to yourself. When you interact with someone with this in your mind and energy field you will draw back to you what you are putting out. This is the Law Of Attraction in action.
