Feeling Letter - by John Gray
This feeling letter is recommended by John Gray in his book 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus'. It is a tool for people to enhance their relationships. I have found it a great tool to let go of any repressed feelings or emotions. I also recommend it to clients who are feeling overwhelmed by anger or sadness. I suggest you buy the book for the full description, but here is a simplified version. Dear ------------I am writing this letter to let go. I am angry because.....(everything you can think of) I am sad because..............I am scared because................I am ashamed because.........I regret........THEN choose positive feeling and continue even if it feels hard to do. I respect ...............I admire............I love............I am grateful.......I wish.....What I want now is................. From (you) Light a match and burn it. Say goodbye to the pain.

Unexpressed emotions and feelings lead to suicide and violence...
... so this has everything to do with changing the world. Yes, poverty and other scarce resources lead to wars. But the more you can deal with your emotions the more you are able to take charge of your life. So many incidents happen because of bottled up emotions. If you can learn how to do this, and teach people in your relationships how to do this, we would have a better world to live. A safer world to live in.
