When Louise Hay was asked what is the most powerful exercise for transformation, she suggests doing mirror work.  One of my all time favorite exercises involves doing a forgiveness practice in front of a mirror.  This mirror work is covered thoroughly in my first book “Star Quality.”  Essentially what you do is stand in front of a mirror, look into your eyes, and say “I forgive myself completely.”  It’s not important that you know what you are forgiving yourself for, but it is important that you say it from your heart.  Our biggest problem is that we are judgemental and don’tknow how to fully love ourselves.  This exercise allows you to forgive yourself for all the times you’ve criticized yourself and made yourself feel badly.  Try it.  Stand in front of a mirror and say “I, (your name), forgive myself completely.”  It’s freeing and it’s nourishing on a very deep level.
