Writing a ‘Letter of Release’ is a highly effective method for addressing and healing emotional wounds. To do this you’ll make sure you have at least two hours of uninterrupted time, and somewhere private to do this activity. You write about one emotional wound at at time, limiting it to one letter per week until your clearing process is complete.
Ten year ago, Spirit Guides created and explained thoroughly to a client to write a Letters of Release to address their emotional wounds. This recommendation has been shared with hundreds of my clients during private readings when advised by their Master Spirit Guide. Addressing emotional wounds through writing by hand can contribute greatly to closure, clarity, and greater sense of self.
HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS LETTER
Writing a Letter of Release will help you effectively address emotional wounds related to a person or situation regardless of how long you have had the wounds. For example, a parent, ex-husband, or a terrible boss might require a thorough emotional release. It’s also beneficial to write a Letter of Release about a distressing event like an unjust job loss, including any individuals involved in the experience.
Additionally, you may write a Letter of Release to yourself about feelings of guilt, shame, disappointment, regrets, or any other emotions that need resolution within yourself. This process is done just as you would write one about someone else.
It is very important to understand that you are not talking to that person in any way. You are only talking to yourself about the emotional wounds that you have with them.
We are not a “bad” daughter, wife, friend, mom, etc., when we do this. It is your wound to clean out so please give yourself this gift of healing.
SUMMARY OF HOW TO DO THIS:
You hand-write the letter until you have nothing left to say to yourself about this emotional wound; do the last “release” paragraph; read it over three times; and then burn it – all done at the same time. You wouldn’t write it and go to burn it another day.
WHAT TO KNOW TO PREPARE TO DO THIS
Buy a brand-new notebook and pen and when you have two hours of total privacy write your first “Letter of Release.”
- Sit somewhere comfortable and have it quiet or white noise in the background, whatever will make you feel focused but relaxed.
- Don’t be exhausted or starving. You can drink something and snack if desired. Light a candle you like.
- Know that your entire spirit guide team helps you write the letter and they put you in a rapid healing process for days.
- If someone has passed away that you need to write the letter about, they give you privacy and are happy you are writing it.
“LETTER OF RELEASE” PROCESS:
#1. Start the letter with the first sentence stating – “I have an emotional wound with my mother (ex-husband, sister, boss Tom, ex-friend Nancy) and I am angry (sad, disappointed, regretful, resentful) about …. and then let it all flow out of you.
Write everything you have to say to yourself about your emotional wounds about that person until you have nothing left to say. Say everything you have to get everything off your chest.
- Pick only ONE emotion to start your letter. It doesn’t matter what emotion; this is done to help you to start your letter and then it will all come out naturally.
- It doesn’t matter how long or short the letter is, 1 1/2 pages or 7 pages.
- As long as you speak your truth you cannot do it wrong.
#2. Once you have said everything you have to say to yourself about your emotional wound with that person, then THE LAST PARAGRAPH of the letter you write every emotion you need to release regarding them.
You write: “I’m releasing any more anger, guilt, shame, remorse, needing it to be different, attachment, sadness, etc.” (write each emotion you feel inside right then).
When you get to this part you will know inside of you exactly what emotions you need to release. This is why it is called a ‘Letter of Release’.
#3. Then the last sentence of the letter is simply, “I’m cleaning out these emotional wounds to move forward free of it.”
#4. Next step is, you read the letter from the first word to the last word three times (at least), so it imprints with you and you can let it all go.
#5. The last thing you do is burn the letter right then outdoors. As it burns say, “Let the wind take it, let my guides, let nature, let the Universe take it. I do not have to be attached to this anymore.” Or something similar that feels right to you. This gives you great closure when you watch it burn. Don’t worry about how fast it burns, just that it burns, and you get to release it all. Do not skip this step.
THINGS TO KNOW
When you write each “Letter of Release” you must speak YOUR truth and say everything you need to.
- We are all done with the blame game when we sit down to write a letter. No more “I should have, would have, could have” unnecessary talk, or about the other person also. It serves no purpose.
- Be honest and accountable with yourself, but also gentle and compassionate.
- Only write one Letter of Release a week. Your guides put you in a rapid healing process for a few days, and we need a few days to get adjusted to feeling better and take some time to heal.
- It will take six weeks to write six letters.
- Don’t put off your letters. Just get complete privacy for 2 hours and write your first letter. When you write the first one it will be so healing and freeing that you will want to do the rest.
- Plan ahead of time how and where you will burn each letter.
- Sometimes 9 months later or 3 years later you need to write another Letter of Release about the emotional wound you have with that person. When we still deal with someone sometimes a new (or old) wound comes up.
- Do not overthink it, worry about it, or procrastinate. Please just sit down and write another letter doing it exactly like this.
Please do your letters to clean out your emotional wounds. This will be one of the most freeing and clearing thing you ever do for yourself.
Make a conscious choice for yourself to live in positivity and happiness. Your Spirit Guide team is always helping you and healing you. Every day is a fresh start. Clean out your wounds. Live your life with freedom and inner peace.
