I am in the middle of doing my release work on a theme that I have discovered over the past couple of weeks. I am amazed at how many of the release work that one has to do is about forgiveness. And it is simply to let go of what holds you down. Here are some key things I know about forgiveness :
- It is not about saying that what the person has done to us is ok and does not mean that you are friends again and have to break bread with the person. It is more about letting go of the story in your head and heart that the person has reflected to you
- It never is about about the other person, it is all about you! Which means you do not need a grand gesture or something dramatic to happen from that person to allow you to forgive them. You can do it in the space within your heart and that only requires you and your choice
- It does come down to choice of story to follow. It will bring you to a point where you will see that the pain is linked to a story you carry. And you can choose to lay it down or keep it
- Practice the art of releasing physically in meditations. It is easy to let go! Start by releasing tension from your head, our eyes, your ears, your cheeks, simply let them relax and take it deeper with each breath. Continue this same practice throughout your body. Notice that you can choose to release and how easy it can be
- Visualisation also helps. I use a guided meditation where I visualize a sparkly river and I can visualize me taking that pain or story and placing in the river and watch it dissolve and flow into light. It just provides an atmosphere for you to open to letting your story go
