Forgiveness

Release Resentment and Regain Balance

It is time to forgive yourself, a person or a situation. Something has shackled you to anger and resentment. Free yourself so you can welcome healing. Holding someone, perhaps yourself, forever accountable does not right the wrongs of the past. Forgiveness doesn’t pardon hurtful behavior, but it can release you from being disempowered whenever you think or talk about it. You are losing energy that can charge your desires. Reclaim this energy by changing the narrative. Break the pattern and open a door to your dreams. Forgiveness will expand your awareness, vibration, love and trust. It also graces you with choice and improves your wellbeing. Lighten your load so you can jump higher and breathe deeper.

Shadow Mastery Class: Reclaim Your Precious Energy

Meditation

Place your hand on the card. Gently close your eyes. Sense your body and concentrate on your breathing. Follow your breath inward. Hold for five seconds and relax. Breathe out and release all tension. Focus on the middle of your chest.

In front of you, a golden staircase descends into the earth. Relax as you walk down the ten healing steps to a magical, amethyst crystal cave. With each step, you are further immersed in forgiveness.

When you arrive at the crystal cave, find a comfortable place to sit. The beautiful heart rose floats in front of you. Focus on the middle of the rose. The rose grows larger, drawing you into its center.

Now, bring to mind someone you want to forgive; it could even be you. See this person floating in front of you. Harmonious rays of golden light connect you.  Focus on the words or actions to be forgiven. Breathe in the memory of the moment and let it be fully present within you. Notice and name your feelings as you relive the hurt.

You may never know what compelled the person to act or speak in a way that hurt you. That is okay. For now, imagine seeing the rift through their eyes. Observing their perspective doesn’t mean you agree with it, nor does it absolve them of responsibility, but it may provide some clarity.

When you are ready, give the person a hug and feel the flow or forgiveness release any resentment or anger between you. Affirm to the person, “I am responsible for my consciousness and energy. Forgiveness allows beauty and value to arise from our experience.”

Allow the person to simply disappear from view.

Turn to see a mirror on the wall of the cave. Within it, there is a guide or teacher-this is your higher guidance. Ask them, “Have I truly forgiven?’ If they say no, repeat this meditation tomorrow.

Whatever the answer, return to the golden staircase. As you ascend, imagine the heart rose embracing you. It will be a shield until you heal. Thank the person or event for giving you the opportunity to know and love yourself in new ways. At the top of the stairs, take two deep breaths and open your wise eyes.

Inspired Insights, Reflections and Actions

Where there is love and balance, there is no need for forgiveness. Resentment and bitterness can arise from judgement, a lack of empathy or emotional pain that keeps us tied to the past. Not forgiving can be a hurdle to spiritual growth and manifesting desires. You can forgive and free yourself from anything.

Journal Work

Write down or draw one thing you want to forgive. Look at the event as you would if a toddler, kitten or puppy broke something dear to you. They may become scared or upset by your disappointment or anger. Perhaps you no longer have those feelings. Instead of a need to forgive, you are likely to understand and reassure them. Write down or draw how you can understand and comfort the person you want to forgive.
