Feeling pain and hurt is the only way to truly see that you are the one that gives it size and shape in your life.
Forgiveness Is Freedom
Forgiveness is a powerful, often misunderstood, human experience. When we have been hurt or wronged by someone, one of the most natural reactions is to feel anger. If the anger persists, it can lead to deep resentments that may affect us for years. The idea of forgiving the offending party can seem impossible, unfair, and perhaps too difficult to even consider.
While forgiving others can begin with an understanding of what happened, and draw from a wide range of spiritual teachings about human nature, it is important to understand that forgiveness benefits you more than anyone else. We give a gift to ourselves when we forgive. No matter how serious the action that harmed us, working towards the goal of forgiveness will heal your heart and soul in a way that no person or event can ever take from you. Being a forgiving person is an embrace of unconditional self-love.
The Energy of Forgiveness Releases The Energy of Hate
Forgiveness clears away anger, resentment, and fear. When we are locked into those feelings, it’s impossible to see how some of life’s most difficult situations can be opportunities for deepening our connection to what is truly important. If we forgive, we become our own source of healing. Without forgiveness, we’re not equipped to begin to restore our sense of well-being and preservation.
Forgiveness is not about abandoning what is right and just, but it gives us the ability to know what to act on, and what to let go of. Resentments cloud our judgment. When you forgive, you release the energy that you are misdirecting on to another person and the past, and focus it where it belongs – on you, in this moment.
