Resistance is what recycles the experience of old emotions. They will continue to come up until you deal with them and let them leave. This is why we advocate the process of acknowledging (identifying and feeling) and then thanking what comes up for release for you cannot have acceptance and gratitude and stay in
resistance at the same time. In fact, the act of acknowledging and thanking is all that is required for the release to occur of its own accord. You could consider thanking your old emotions as being the final step in cutting the cords that connect you to the expired energies of the past. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
