I don't know the name of this, but I summarized the teachings of masters I respect and came up with my own practice that deals mainly with constant elimination of guilt.

The way it works is that when you notice feelings of guilt (or any other negative emotion for that matter) you immediately redefine the situation to clearly explain to yourself why you did something (that you feel guilty about) and why it was the right thing for you to do.

The end result of it is higher self-esteem, ability to see things as they are and apparently more compassion toward others.

If you don't have a reasons to feel guilty you don't need to make others feel guilty to cover your own crap.

Another side of my practice is instead of "getting rid of negativity" you make it irrelevant by acting as if you already as positive and as happy as you want to be.
