This is a great lesson that was sent to me from
one of my personal coaches that inspires me.
This simple exercise that can help you learn
to forgive yourself and forgive others. It can
help you heal.
Here is your quote for the day:
"The practice of forgiveness is our
most important contribution to the
healing of the world." ~Marianne Williamson
In order to reach true enlightenment,
we must learn to forgive wholly and
completely. Hanging on to anger and
resentment is one of the most debilitating
things we can do.
One of the biggest reasons for disease is
the unwillingness to forgive. Many people
hang onto anger and resentment towards
others or themselves. Emotions are energy.
When the energy gets blocked, especially
toxic energy like anger and resentment,
it turns into disease and physical ailments
in our body.
Forgiveness is one of the greatest acts of
love. By forgiving, you are not saying that
you condone a persons actions. You are saying
that they are a child of God, they are one with you
and they did the best they knew how at that
time.
We need to learn to forgive even the most horrific
acts. We must learn to come from a place of
unconditional love and non judgement. When we
can forgive anyone for anything, we heal ourselves,
we heal them and we do our part to heal the world.
Not only must we learn to forgive others, we MUST
learn to forgive ourselves. Most people carry some
form of guilt of something they have done or didn't
do. Recognize that you did the best you knew how
at the time. Holding onto guilt will not change
the past. If anything, through the Law Of Attraction,
it will cause you to attract and act in a similar
way in the future.
Remember we are one. We are all doing the best
we know how, given the circumstances and life
experience we each have. When we can all
master non judgement, unconditional love and
unconditional forgiveness, we will ALL truly
experience heaven here on earth.
Here is an exercise that can greatly heal your heart and
spirit. Make a list of everyone you are holding onto
anger or resentment towards, including yourself.
One day at a time, write a letter to each person on
that list, including yourself. In that letter express
all of your feelings 100% open and honestly. Then,
in that letter, write your forgiveness for that
person and the circumstances or acts that occurred.
After you have written the letter, fold it up and
put it away somewhere. Hold onto the letter for three
days. In three days take the letter out and make the
decision if you want to mail the letter or rip it
up and throw it away. It is not necessary for the
other person to read the letter, unless you really
want them to. This exercise is for you.
You will be amazed at how free you will feel after
releasing those feelings. Chances are, if you have
been 'stuffing your emotions', a lot of powerful
emotions will surface and probably be there for
a few days. Sit with those emotions. You are
cleansing yourself.
