Got Forgiveness?

The key to forgiveness is to forgive from the heart not from the mind. Knowing in your rational mind that your parents did the best they could to raise you is not enough to constitute forgiveness.

If you have any type of negative emotional reaction in the presence of someone, you have not truly forgiven that person. What would happen if you took 5 minutes to walk in the other person’s shoes? Could you find compassion for them to understand why things happened the way they did?

Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to agree with what they did or how they did it. Not at all. Your values and beliefs may be very different from theirs. It simply means that you can see the whole truth of what happened and that the Truth encompasses all points of view, not just your own. True compassion of the human experience is that place from which all forgiveness begins. Compassion is an act of unconditional love that is free of any attachment.

Forgiveness is about seeing life with clarity so that you stop judging the activities of others and, instead, take responsibility for your interpretation of those activities. When you judge something that happens in life as good or bad, right or wrong you aren’t able to have gratitude for the challenges and experiences life sends your way. No matter how enlightened a person you may be, challenging situations will always happen. However, if you have gratitude for life’s challenges you will always find your joy in life and never feel victimized by your circumstances.

Once you have seen the truth you simply make the decision to let go of the pain, anger, and resentment you have been holding on to. If you are addicted to your pain, resentment, self-righteousness, this might be a challenging step for you. There is comfort in what we find familiar, even if we are suffering. However, once you let go, the weight of the world will be released from your shoulders.

In the forgiveness process, it is important to forgive not only the other people in our lives, but also ourselves. For most people, forgiving ourselves is more difficult then forgiving others. Here are a few things to check in with yourself to see if you could use some forgiveness on.

- Forgive yourself for using people in your life to hurt yourself.

- Forgive yourself for not having clarity, for blaming others, and for not taking responsibility for your actions.

- Forgive yourself for wounding others and for the anger, jealousy, and hate you’ve directed toward others.

- Forgive yourself for participating in situations that went against your integrity.

- Forgive yourself for not respecting yourself.

- Forgive yourself for not trusting yourself and having faith in your abilities.

- Forgive yourself for trying to control the people you love.

- And, of course, forgive yourself for not loving yourself 100% just the way you are!

If you forgive you will be truly happy, and your life will reflect the change back to you in every way. After all, what we think in our minds is what manifests in our lives! The bottom line is that we forgive not because the other person necessarily deserves it, but because we do not want to carry that load around until we die.  Anger, hate, and jealousy will make you old, resentful and ugly, inside and out. The question is, how much do you love and respect yourself? Is it enough to give yourself the gift of forgiveness? I hope so.

How to Discover Enlightenment in Negative Feelings

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~Rumi

One of the most common questions people ask is “How do I stop having negative thoughts and feelings? As you know, holding onto a negative emotional state will keep you from manifesting what you truly desire because it holds you stuck in a lower vibrational place. Negative feelings arise because they are trying to push you into a higher positive experience. Each feeling is trying to ignite your spiritual path and help you to grow exponentially. The problem in life occurs not when you have a negative feeling, but when you resist the experience of it.

Avoiding negative feelings means you are attached to having a positive experience, and live as if you were on a life preserver lost at sea. The more you try to resist negative emotions, the more they have a grip on you. Whatever we resist persists. When you cannot feel a negative feeling, you are saying IT is more powerful than you, and are unknowingly advocating that you’re not connected to the all-powerful divine God Source. If you never allow yourself to feel what’s going on inside, you are overly attached to positivity and avoiding negativity. You cannot find clarity until you relinquish all attachment to it. The key is not in control, but in total acceptance of all your parts and pieces. When you stop resisting and start accepting, your energy and consciousness instantly expand and you become more receptive and available to the Divine within.

The good news about negative feelings is that there is a hidden state of divine joy and freedom at every core. Negative feelings are like deep pools of mud, each with a brilliant shimmering diamond buried at the bottom of the muck. Each gem is soooo amazing and perfect that we may not be ready to see it, feel it and own it fully in all its glory. We may be over-identified with negative thoughts about ourselves, so its hard to feel worthy of its all accepting love and Jedi Master quality. So we tend to hide it in the deepest and safest place possible (where nobody will look for it) at the bottom of our inner muck. Here the mud covers the light emanating from the diamond and makes us believe we are dim struggling powerless light beings who need to cleanse, purge and purify our dirty selves. Yet, the truth is that when we dive into the very center of the muck (negative feelings), the beautiful jewel must rise to the surface to be fully revealed.

The secret to success in this wild inner adventure is using your breath as your “life line” as you dive through your most gruesome negative feelings. By using your inhalation and exhalation to guide you into and through a feeling, you will discover the power within you to transcend it. The breath is your passage to freedom, as it naturally releases any resistance or distractions that bubble up and allow you to remain focused and on the healing track. Diving through a large muddy pool of emotions can be scary or exciting, depending on your attitude towards it. It may take you a few minutes or hours to get focused enough to dive completely through a challenging feeling, yet with a solid intention to find the diamond, and using your breath to guide you down, you’ll discover a beautiful state of liberation at your core! Just dive into your feeling and observe the story, judgment, or resistance of it. Whatever you experience will transform when you stay with the breath, feel your feelings, and remain open to the experience.

True inner peace is always found in the last place you would think of looking for it. Only by diving into and through your heaviest, hardest, coldest, and loneliest feelings will you find inner peace. The enlightened state within you is always available, the question is are you willing to face the dark night of your soul to experience it? This highest enlightened experience of life emanates from the deepest most calm stillness inside you. This great lightness is at the very bottom of your well, at the center of your muck, at the core of your being. You’ll find the most beautiful clear mind and lightest feelings from accepting all that is unclear and heavy inside. The enlightened mind knows it is that completely blank screen which is behind every muddy or sparkly movie. It has no judgment, preference or care as to what movie plays on its screen. It simply allows for the images, words and emotions to flicker upon it and it always remains untouched and unharmed.

The Power of Choice

Choice is the most powerful of all the tools with which you create your reality, more powerful even than your beliefs, thoughts and feelings, because ultimately choice can supersede these, can steer and direct them in accordance with your will. You make thousands of choices every day, most of which you are not even conscious of. Your habits, for example, are choices that have become unconscious and automatic.

Actions, behavioural choices, are the most obvious choices, but there are subtler yet more profound choices, choices of what we think and feel, the attitudes we hold, the principles and values we choose to abide by, or not as the case may be. Every choice we make has an impact to a greater or lesser extent, each one like a pebble dropped in a pond, the ripples, the ramifications, spreading out into our future and other areas of our life.

Choice is available in every moment as a doorway to the possible, and in such, every moment is an opportunity filled with potential, for a new beginning, for greater love, for a new direction, for expanded success.

What choice could you make right now that would change your life for the better, today, tomorrow, in the coming weeks, months or years?

Perhaps choices of thought, feeling, or action, choices for new beliefs, choices of character, loving choices for yourself and others, choices born of your dreams, courageous choices outside your current comfort zone, choices that make your heart sing and bring you joy. Choice is the flagship of freewill. It is keystone to change and heralds new birth. When sourced in love, choice opens the doors to happiness, success, serendipity and opportunity, as you affirm your desire, assert your will, and the universe ushers in to support you in your creation of reality.

When you realise you have the power to choose in any given situation in your life, you awaken a new level of empowerment, responsibility and self-determination, and as such, you are better able to change it. Knowing that you are loved, loving and loveable ever and always, that the universe is always on your side, and that your choices hold great power, you can wield your choices more consciously, more expectantly, more powerfully, trusting the proceeding unfoldment that will occur and the turnings of the tide that commence in response to those choice made in your heart and mind.

People often accept responsibility for their actions, for what they choose to physically do, yet less often do they accept responsibility for what they think and feel and the impact this has on their life, yet this is where the greatest power of choice lies. It is your thoughts and feelings, your beliefs and attitudes that determine your experience, and in themselves, influence the very types of choices you are likely to make.

What new thoughts, beliefs and attitudes could you choose? How would that change your state of life, your state of mind, your behaviour, your relationships, your sense of self-value, for example…Even one small choice made today that shifts your life by one degree, can overtime lead to a future far brighter than where you are heading, opening you to new worlds of possibility, new doorways, new horizons, new people, places and opportunities, new levels of love, joy and success.

There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ choices as such – but there are choices that are more or less serving to yourself and others at a given time. Don’t beat yourself up for faulty past choices and mistakes. Forgive yourself for less than serving choices in your human journey and let go of your past. You can create a new slate and lay new foundations through choice. You can forge an entirely new landscape and positively reinvent yourself and your world.

Found your choices in beauty and purity of love, and they will always lead to bright outcomes. Choice sourced in love can only ever win! Fear choices, anger choices, revenge choices, on the other hand, unsurprisingly don’t lead to fruitful results.

The mental and emotional state you are in can greatly influence the quality of your choices. Meditating, reflection and brainstorming can open up many possibilities and available choices. When making a choice it can help to ask yourself, ‘What would be the most loving choice?’ or ‘What would the winner choose?’

You might also like to put yourself in the shoes of your brightest future. What types of choices would that you make? It already knows the pathways and decisions that will take you where you want to be. You can also think of someone you admire greatly, perhaps in a given field you are pondering a choice in (be it relationships, business, health, and so on), and ask yourself, ‘What would [NAME OF INSPIRING PERSON] choose in this situation?’

Awaken the power of choice, befriend it, use it more consciously, freely, more wisely and lovingly.

Wield this magical tool to craft your ‘love life’ – a life you truly love!
