We all make mistakes. We get hurt, physically and emotionally. Sometimes, we even hold onto grudges that do nothing but weigh us down. The Canadian Mindfulness Research Center understands that the burdens of the past can heavily influence how we experience the present. Holding onto these negative experiences can manifest in our physical health and limit our happiness.
The Weight of the Past
When we refuse to let go of past mistakes, wounds, and grudges, they create a heaviness inside. This can manifest as:
- Persistent anxiety and stress
- Difficulty concentrating
- Relationship problems
- Physical ailments like headaches, stomach problems, and chronic pain
- Depression and feelings of hopelessness
These are often signs that our minds and bodies are overwhelmed by negativity from our past experiences. The good news is, it doesn’t have to stay this way.
The Transformative Power of Mindfulness
The Canadian Mindfulness Research Center, founded by Sanjeev Kumar, teaches the power of mindfulness as a way to let go and find peace. Sanjeev’s own journey of overcoming depression and nervous breakdown underscores the real-world impact mindfulness practice can have. Through decades of work and his own life experiences, he understands that overcoming the negativity of the past is key to unlocking a happier, healthier life.
Mindfulness is about paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It’s about observing our thoughts and emotions without getting carried away by them. When we practice mindfulness, we learn an important lesson – our past experiences and negative feelings don’t define us.
How to Let Go
Mindfulness provides practical techniques to help us let go of the past:
- Acknowledgment: Become aware of the mistakes, wounds, or grudges you’re holding onto. Name them, understand how they make you feel, and recognize their influence on your life.
- Acceptance: These experiences are part of your past. They cannot be changed, only accepted as parts of your journey.
- Compassion: Extend compassion toward yourself and others involved. Understand that everyone makes mistakes.
- Focus on the Present: Bring your attention back to the here and now. Pay attention to your breath, your body, and the world around you.

Letting go of the past is hard but incredibly rewarding. Here’s what you might experience:
- Improved mental and physical health
