The step-by-step guide tells women to "find a safe place to light a fire", adding "why not invite a few close friends to join you, too", and to "write out a few words, or recite a prayer to help release and forgive".
Throw the "lingerie into the fire one piece at a time" and "watch intently as the pieces burn" while knowing "that your past is recycling into the ethers, liberating your future", it says.
Paltrow recently told how she was more focused on the website, Goop, than her acting career.
