Forgiveness: A Path to Cultivating Peace, Health, and Harmony

Forgiveness is “the ability to let go of bitterness and resentment.”  

 These qualities of bitterness and resentment are not conducive to cultivating peace, happiness, health and harmony within.   

You cannot maintain health, if lurking within yourself is any aspect of bitterness or resentment toward yourself or others.  

This consciousness of resentment is a gift.  It is pointing the way toward the action you must take to liberate your own heart from the burdens it is carrying.     

You can lie to others, but not to your own heart.  If it is true your heart imprints your DNA, you do not want your entire physical structure and energy pattern embodying resentment and bitterness.  

Remember, the bible teaches, “so a man thinketh in his heart so is he.”  Release this pattern, it is not serving you.   

If you cannot do it today, ask that you may get there soon, and approach the issue again each day as many times as you desire to set yourself free from negativity.   

The sooner you address it the sooner you embody more peace. 

Any thought within you that creates disharmony is a key to something you need to work on within yourself.  The ability to forgive what is going on within you will lead you to a deeper place of self acceptance.  

As this occurs you will more easily be able to forgive others in their disharmonious ways.  You will maintain peace better in all situations.   

Your disharmony is yours and your responsibility is to dismantle or reshape the thought which is creating it.

Mahatma Gandhi once said “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”  Wouldn’t you like to have people look upon you and think how strong in character you are? 

You should really know for yourself how strong you are and this is one way to find out. 

People sometimes say.  I can forgive, but I cannot forget.  Henry Ward Beecher said this “is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. 

Forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note -- torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.”  You can reach into your heart and forgive, no one can do it for you and it only hurts you if you don’t. 

The other person gets on with their life while you are still carrying the bitterness within yourself which poisons your own blood and weighs heavily upon your soul. Not a good plan.

The more you reach within yourself to understand and forgive you learn to love yourself deeper.  You are being triggered by your own demons which are usually projected onto others allowing you to see your lack of self confidence, fear that you are what you are seeing, etc.  

You are able to forgive to the extent that you love and accept your poor qualities and your good qualities.  In either case the poor or good are only the judgments you place upon yourself. 

As you practice the art of forgiveness toward yourself and others, you will allow you to feel peace and become more relaxed.  

  

François de La Rochefoucauld said “we pardon to the extent that we love.”  It’s true, take a look at it within you. 

Oscar Wilde said “always forgive your enemies -- nothing annoys them so much.”  I would not suggest aiming at annoying another for your own liberation from disharmony, but you have to keep laughing.  

I quoted Wilde as you need to keep your sense of humor in this process, it’s ironically funny once we walk through it and realize it was such a waste of time and energy.  Yet it reaps great benefit for yourself and others.

Disharmony, resentment, or bitterness pushes you away from others and yourself.  This resistance keeps the goodness and abundance which radiates out from your Source at bay and it cannot flow; therefore, peace cannot preside within you.

Know it is possible to attain peace and harmony within yourself.

Your Heart Has to Feel Free to Maintain Your Peace

Your Heart Has to Feel Free to Maintain Your Peace

Your heart has to feel free in order to maintain peace within yourself. This peace, when attained, will allow energy to flow and healing to ensue.  

Aim for this peace, this absence of resistance within your heart.   

You will know if peace is not there – the mind will be wrestling with something that is bothering it, there are symptoms in the body, pain, heat, swelling, or you are just irritable.   

How do you feign peace when you are in disharmony?   

You cannot lie to yourself, the outside world may not know, but your heart will.  You need to look at yourself. 

If you are in reaction to something in your world, see what it is.  If you are unable to just pick another thought that is in a healthy positive direction without the old thought arising, then you need to look at what thought is holding you captive behind your reaction. 

Are you agitated with someone? Is there disharmony within yourself toward you or another? Is there an event which you are in reaction to?  It’s not about it or them, it’s about you.   

You cannot change someone else, you can only change you.  You have to have the insight to face the issue head on and look behind the obvious story to what is going on within yourself.   

Are you in reaction to someone else because they have qualities or habits you hate about yourself?  Are you big enough to face it and love you anyway?  This is where you need to stand.   

Standing in this place of self acceptance and self love will allow you to accept them more easily.  It all starts with you.

Find the key, seek help to find it if you don’t know what it is.  You may think the problem is in the low back, it’s not, it just seems like it’s there.   

The physical manifestation of the pain or discomfort is there, but what is really going on within yourself is that you are not dealing with the thoughts going through your mind.  You are what you think, just like you are what you eat.

The world is your creation, it’s not your fault, but you are responsible to heal that part of you that perceives the person, place or thing as a problem.  This process will help you as well as the irritation in your life.

If you need more information on how to clear your issue, see my blog on Ho’oponopono. 

It is really life changing to face the false beliefs stored in your subconscious and wash them out of your heart, patterning for life freeing ideas instead.   

If you need assistance in pinpointing the dis-ease behind a disease, please seek assistance. This is an aspect of what I do and the results are amazing, physically, energetically, mentally and emotionally.  I can teach you how to do this and feel the shift within your body.

Enjoy your journey no matter where you are.

6 Different Methods for Breaking a Negative Self-Talk Pattern

6 Different Methods for Breaking a Negative Self-Talk Pattern

No, you don't have to put a bunch of tennis balls in your mouth.  

I’m not so sure where negative self talk comes from, but I see it a lot in our western culture.   

Western thought and concepts of original sin in Christianity exist culturally going hand in hand like guilt in our faith.  My friends from Asia don’t seem to have these thoughts of innate badness in them.  

They don’t tend to beat themselves up for not knowing something, they just think, oh well, or that’s your opinion, or, I made a mistake and this is how you learn and grow.   

They don’t take it to heart as personal condemnation; they just move on and are thankful for the knowledge of correcting their thoughts or behavior. A much better choice.

It’s funny how our minds interpret information in our youth and some of us take comments incredibly personally.  

I have a friend that doesn’t stand up straight because his Father, 55 years ago, said to him that it was prideful to raise your head up high and so as a child he made a decision that to have humility was to slouch.   

This is not pride, to walk erect with your spine straight; in fact, this is how we are meant to stand – ears over shoulders, over hips, over feet.  Not hunched forward because you’re tall.  The hunching did not bring in humility anyway.  What a waste of good height potential.  Ha!   

You have to love yourself in all your thoughts. May as well laugh too. 

After a lifetime of poor thoughts and behaviors, you then start to wake up.   

Start to train yourself out of the old behaviors to learn self appreciation and self love after realizing you’ve been a bit destructive.   

 

Mistakes are not meant to leave you in a state of self loathing as a child which would in turn get carried into adult hood.   

Practicing self love to get yourself out of those negative patterns is an excellent path for health.   People tend to drink alcohol to avoid feeling their emotions or dark thoughts, not the best plan.  

It's not like they go away if you just numb yourself to them.      

If you catch yourself in a negative thought, try some of these exercises to work with reprogramming yourself with good ones:

1.      Say to yourself “cancel, cancel, disperse, delete.” Cancel the thought and the feeling, disperse the energy and delete it from your thoughts.  What self talk would you have liked to hear, say that instead. 

2.     Pick the opposite of the thought you initially had.

3.     Ask yourself if it is really true.  Come on, be honest with yourself.  You may feel that way in the moment, but is it really true? If it’s not true, let it go.

4.     Ask yourself “How would I feel without that thought?”  Allow yourself to experience that emotion. Then go back to number 3 after you feel better and your heart is in compassion with yourself.

5.     Go back to practicing gratefulness, amazing what this vibration does.  It removes hurt from your heart, it relaxes it, and opens it up again once more to love.  You can’t really love and accept others if you don’t love and accept yourself.

6.     If you keep finding yourself in a reoccurring theme.  Work with the false belief you are holding using EFT or Ho’oponopono. 

 

These techniques do work, just try it.
