Forgiveness

Forgiveness....ahhhhh forgiveness. Right this moment, think about how much you need to forgive yourself or another, for whatever reason. Think about those hidden things that you hold over another or yourself. For real, take the time, think about it. Do you feel it? Where does it resonate, in your throat, chest, stomach, back, head? Oh I'm sorry for making you do that. It takes up so much space doesn't it? It's such a poison, toxic.

This brings up the importance of living a life of forgiveness. This means a life of putting energy in to only the beauty of the moment, nothing else. A life of fully forgiving yourself, everyone and everything in which you come in to contact. When you are fully in a place of seeing the beauty of the moment, there is no room to harp on the past, something that you did or did not do. There's no room to live in resentment of your Mom, Dad, your ex, kids, boss, the dog, or the person who cut you off in traffic. You can't be angry at Hillary, Britney, Muslims, or Bush. You can't, because you're too consumed with the beauty and love of the moment. I mean of course, acknowledge any uneasy feelings, process it, and know that you're feeling that for a reason and honor it. It may be alerting you to release a person from having any affects upon your life. You may need to remove someone from your immediate circle so they can't harm you. Or, you may need to do a deep healing of some instilled prejudices, or unhealthy perceptions. This is all true. But the quicker you can move away from those feelings and forgive, the quicker you arrive back in to the divine.

Forgiveness comes from the Hebrew meaning, "send away." Of course, the thoughts of sadness, anger or disappointment will pop into our minds. But it is our duty to send those thoughts away. We must have enough control over our minds, and our lives, that when we hear those thoughts, we let them pass, let them go, send them away. We must bring our minds back to the goodness as quick as possible. All we have in life is each moment. So, we must put as many smiles, and laughs in to each one as possible.
