#61 Transform Resentment Into Sensual Pleasure — Beverly Lawrence PhD

Troubles with pleasure could come from resentment screaming to be transformed into gratitude. The happiness that brims from pleasure is not something solid to hold on like an object that is going to be there, it´s dynamic, it´s fluid, it´s relational. You can´t force it.

You know how to find happiness?

Gratitude, when you live in gratitude.

Then you realize sun came out, I´m grateful OMG I´ve got another day. I see the stars at night, you don´t know when you´re gonna die. Birds sing. The Sun don´t always come out, it happened in the past with the dinosaurs and everything died. So I have roof over my head, not everybody does. I have food on my table, not everybody does.

And can´t help but to say a prayer of gratitude before every meal and live your life always saying prayers of gratitude.

Why it is so hard to be grateful?

Beverly Laurence sees the biggest barrier to gratitude is the lack of forgiveness.

People won´t forgive. You don´t have to forget, but you can forgive because not forgiving only hurts you and destroys your ability to be happy.

So if you forgive you say: The divine consciousness/ Gd/ Creator/ Great Spirit/ Whatever you wanna call it, call the law of Karma, they will get their lesson.*

Understand you don´t have to teach them a lesson, it´d destroy your own happiness. You be happy. They have a lesson to learn. By hurting you, you know how it feels like so you won´t do that to someone else. Don´t do onto others what you don´t want to be done onto you, golden rule remember.

If you´re ready for a quick self-hypnosis practice to live in gratitude and you´re happy, here´s The Sensual Sessions Episode #61 on how to Transform Resentment Into Grateful Pleasure with Dancing Bear Enlightenment Academy Founder, Acupuncturist and Medical Hypnotherapist, Beverly Lawrence (PhD).
