First, find where time lives around you. Your past might feel behind you, or to one side. Your future might stretch ahead, or somewhere else. This creates your personal timeline.
When pain feels stuck inside you, when your life's story feels heavy or too much to carry, pause. Close your eyes and ask your unconscious mind: "Is it alright to let this go?"
Wait for the answer. You might feel it in your body, see a picture in your mind, or just know. If you sense a no, that's okay - ask yourself what needs attention first.
If you feel a yes, imagine floating up above your timeline like a bird. Keep a golden rope tied to the present moment - your present self, the sustainer of your story - so you can find your way back.
Float backwards through time, to the very beginning of everything, to that first moment of creation. From this high place at the dawn of existence, look forward and check - does that old feeling still exist right now?
When you notice the feeling has gone, follow your golden rope home to your present self. Move at the speed that feels right to you.
If the weight of your current life story still feels heavy, if you need a new perspective, float forward to the end of time, to the point of dissolution where all returns to silence. Look back at now. Everything looks different from here.
When you return to your present moment, you might notice just a faint echo where the old feeling used to live. Your mind has found a new way to hold this memory, and perhaps a new way to see your story.
