Kristy Peters says

Thank you. You provided me with a new perspective on self-blame

Helene, Social Work, USA says

I would experience liberation and peace to let go of self-blame/judgement for bad choices impacting me and find the openness in my heart to not only better forgive myself but provide the space to receive the upset still expressed by one family member in particular.
That was a beautiful practice, thank you!

it would allow me to become more my true self and content

Laura Rosewood, Clergy, LARGO, FL, USA says

Thank you. This was so freeing. It allowed me to let go of the hurt from one instance and realize the underlying belief so I can recognize it in other areas of my life. I appreciate this tool to help me move from judgment to compassion where I want to live.

I imagine there would be an ease within myself and with others that would allow me to access the grounded energy I need and want in elderhood.

Eva, CA says

Because I judge myself, I strive for perfectionism to compensate, which makes life so hard, and never satisfactory as it is an elusive goal. I alienate myself from others, create friction points in relationships. If I were not to do this, I could spend more time looking outwards and helping others rather than trying to fix myself!

Derek Millard, Another Field, GB says

Excellent introduction.

Wendy MacLaren, Counseling, CA says
