The feeling of guilt brings several negative self-esteem. Let us analyze to these consequences and the difference that exists between feel guilty and becoming aware and take responsibility for mistakes committed. Everyone makes mistakes. There is not in this life who has not become a more difficult path, or harmed someone or herself with attitudes that only then were recognized by the person himself as wrong. After misunderstanding, the problem lies in the way we deal with this feeling of having wrong and caused damage.

When we detected our mistakes it is very common to feel guilty. Only there is a problem with this feeling. He does not undo the situation of the past, does not correct the mistakes, only brings suffering. Rationally, I believe everyone knows it. There is a difference between acknowledging that it was wrong assuming responsibility and making a mistake feeling guilty. Recognizing the error is healthy; take responsibility as well. When this occurs it is very likely that we have learned from the experience not to commit the same mistake again. If you, when you remember a mistake, take responsibility, but feel a heavy load, it is quite likely that you are also carrying guilt. It is possible, feeling peace with yourself, assume the mistakes and responsibility in an integral way and commit to change and improve. That would be the best way to deal with the mistakes made.

The feeling of guilt brings an emotional weight, a malaise. Along with this feeling, there will normally be self-empty. The guilt is already a way to punish. When I do therapeutic works happens a lot of customer expressing that you can not, you should not or think it is not fair that he let feel guilty, since he made a mistake. It's as if you needed to pay for the mistake with suffering. As EFT usually releases and dissolving negative feelings in a quick way, the customer creates a resistance to apply the process as he thinks it is not fair to stay at peace. I've seen this occur several times. Another common fear is to think that if you do not feel the guilt any more, you will make the mistake again. As if the person would become irresponsible. For those who feel like this, it is as if it were an emotional halter that prevents it from committing certain mistakes. This will also bring resistances in releasing from the feeling.


Who feels guilty will unconsciously seek other ways to punish. This can occur through self-asset in various areas: financial, relationships, physical health, loss of opportunities. It is impossible to deceive our unconscious. Every negative stored feeling interferes in our way of thinking and acting. The greater the negativity, the worst the consequences for ourselves. Guilt generates the feeling of no deserving: Do not deserve to be happy, to thrive, have a good marriage, physical health, take a course, travel, get more beautiful, to have a good life ... Feeling that does not deserve, the person begins to work against herself and can not even understand the reason for I once answered a customer who reported having made a big mistake in the past. He had left an excellent job financially and went to live a religious experience. He spent some time in this new path, but he saw that it was not what he wanted for his life. He repented and felt a terrible guilt for having disappointed family, friends and himself to have abandoned such a good professional opportunity.

The result of so much guilt (accompanied by other feelings too) is that more than twenty years passed and he never recovered professionally. It seems difficult to imagine a picture like this, but it was exactly what was happening to the customer. Guilt began to generate lamuria, mental torture: Why did I do this? With I was stupid, stupid, if the time came back ... My work friends of the time are all good and I here in this difficult life ... This lowered the self-esteem that he spent his whole life martyring, removing the mistake of the past. He was so blind emotionally that he assigned all the failure of his life to this only mistake. You see, twenty years later! It was enough time to have found ten much better jobs or to have opened your own business and have stayed a millionaire.

Applying the technique in a proper way it is possible to reach this result described above and often quickly. This is because we can clean with * EFT, in a simple and effective way, the energy stagnant in the meridians. Stagnant energy is the negative feeling itself. The technique goes beyond a logical, rational approach. She fits deeply with the energy of the body, creating a powerful shortcut in the elimination of negative feelings. This provides many insights and fast ripening. Take your mistakes, without drama, without guilt, without punishment. Recognize that it was responsible, learn from experience and commit to change. Of course it is not easy to simply feel that way. To help this difficult task, I still have a technique with EFT. I have spoken so far from the guilt that is created by the action of the person who feels guilty. There are also other forms of guilt, such as the fault generated by excessive credit charges. This game is very common between parents and children. But I'll let you talk about this kind of guilt in the next text.
