"I'm sorry. I love you."
Excerpt from a great blog post I found today:
[Dr.Len] agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal."I was simply healing the part of me that created them," Dr. Len said. "I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again," he explained. [as he sat in his office, reading their files]
He reported that as he continued this practice, there were actually significant reports of improvement in the ward. So much so in fact, that the ward ultimately was closed. According to Dr. Len's viewpoint, the division between internal and external simply isn't relevant. It's all internal.
That's an AWESOME practice. "I'm sorry. I love you." Over and over again. Beautiful.
I've retold this story at least 10 times since I read it - now I use that practice when I have a negative reaction to someone on the street... under my breath "I'm sorry, I love you". Thanks Colin :)

I'm glad you found it as helpful as I did. I felt a real shift when I held that profound thought the first time I read the original post. I, too, have used it several times since. Thanks for sharing!
