When we experience life’s difficulties or are harmed by others it is tempting to blame the circumstances or other people. However, this will only add more negativity to what has already been created, and cause more suffering. Blaming ourself also doesn’t solve the problem. In this day course we will learn how to let go of blame and resentment, and how to take empowering responsibility for our emotions and how we feel.
