New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Take some time to write down, on scraps of paper, all the things you feel jealous about. Name names, as well as the ways in which you feel jealous or envious of others. Throw each of these jealous "thoughts" onto a large green (preferably a sickly green) cotton cloth, until you have a big pile. Then tie the corners together with cotton string, making a bundle. Allow yourself to become as sickly green and angry as the cloth bundle you're holding, projecting all the anger and sour feelings you can muster into the bundle.
When you feel ready, throw the bundle into a fire and watch it burn. Say: "As this bundle of jealous thoughts burns, so do the feelings and emotions burn away in me." Now, inscribe a light blue or pink pillar candle with all the things you genuinely love and value about yourself. Whenever you feel jealous, look at and light the candle, remembering you are just as awesome as anyone else. |
