The act of forgiveness in it’s own right is incredibly powerful. It has the capacity to heal and transform. I’m sure you’ve heard of the expression “forgive and forget” but don’t dismiss it too quickly. Many of us still try to forget, push it away, or better still, try not to think about some hurt that was done to us in the past. We live in the hope that our heart will heal on it’s own and any bad feelings will just fade away. Sadly, this approach doesn’t always work. By holding onto anger or the resentment toward others as well as yourself, the feelings begin to worsen on a vibrational or energetic level. If you’ve been hurt in the past, and you’re holding onto negative feelings, they can take their toll on your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Psychological effects include depression, tension, anxiety, and stress. Your whole cardiovascular, digestive, muscular, and nervous system can all be affected. Some people hold on these feelings for weeks, months, years, or in the most severe cases for the rest of their lives. People generally have to blame someone. In these cases, people become accustomed to a life filled with rage, hurt, anger, and bitterness. They assume the personality of that energy, and the negative emotions become who they are. If all those feelings were confiscated, who would that person be? As we’re all made up from energy, we end up holding on to these emotions of pain and anger. We resonate specific vibrations by the natural laws of “like attracts like.” We end up attracting others who have the same issues and problems. This is another example of energy drain, which I call soul leakage. For many, especially when the hurt is deep, it’s impossible to imagine forgiving someone who’s caused such physical, mental, or emotional pain. Making the conscious decision to forgive and letting go of the pain is the beginning of the healing process. When we forgive, we can get back to loving ourselves, and start to vibrate at a higher level though our heart center and attract love. Now wouldn’t you rather be attracting that in to your life instead of pain and negativity? Next week, I’ll explain about how to forgive yourself! |
This week try spending time in quiet contemplation. Ask yourself whether there’s a person or a situation, or even yourself that could use your forgiveness? Forgiveness is all about choice. It doesn’t necessarily mean releasing the person from responsibility of their actions. It’s a matter of releasing the anguish that your soul is carrying around with it. Whether they deserve to be forgiven or not, just remember that you’re doing it for yourself. Forgiveness enables you to use your energy in a healthier and more productive way. Each time you forgive, you have the potential to break the cycle of pain. When you express true forgiveness, you empower yourself to stop feeling like a victim. You begin to let go of any feelings that you were wronged. Your capacity to love and trust is enriched as those feelings of hurt and anger melt away. In the deepest part of your heart and soul, you have the ultimate power to heal past issues that have been holding you back and live a life of total freedom. There is quote I came across although the author is unknown, it states: “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner… was you.” Imagine yourself in a safe comfortable place, maybe a special place that means something just to you. In your mind, visualize the person who you want to forgive walking up to you. Really see them, but try not to reconnect with the feelings of anger, resentment, or pain that this person may have caused you. This is about letting go of these emotions. It’s about cutting the cord and moving on. Take a slow deep breath and imagine you’re both surrounded by a beautiful shade of green light. This green healing light emanates from the heart. It’s healing properties help you to forgive, as it heals the hurt and the emotions from the past. If you try this for yourself, it’s helpful to say your own positive healing affirmations. Here are a few of my favorites: I am now bringing in the healing power of forgiveness. I now forgive you and release you. I release myself from the emotions of the past. I forgive myself for accepting the belief pattern of pain and suffering. My heart is now open to receive love in my life. Don’t be alarmed when you try this if it takes days, weeks, or even longer to become aware of the feelings of forgiveness. You may have been holding on to issues for quite some time, so give yourself as much time as it takes. You’ll know when it’s complete because you’ll begin to feel a positive shift. It’s like a huge weight is released. You’ll feel physically lighter as you’re no longer held prisoner by the past. Forgiveness doesn’t have to be asked for, bought, traded, or earned. Forgiveness is a gift for you. The gift that comes from forgiveness is love.
Have a SOUL filled week! |
