Forgiveness: Harmony &
Wholeness
By
I enjoy
looking at the energy of emotions, exploring how the energy flows through us and
what exactly is the benefit(s) of the energy, state of being and awareness of
the energy in motion ~ emotion.
Recently, I have been celebrating the energy of forgiveness as it
relates to our empowerment as the Spirit that we are. During my intimate exploration of
forgiveness, I have received the following insights. I offer them in love and celebration as the
When we
experience a situation that causes a perceived imbalance in the energy within
us, we feel as if we have experienced a wrong, a hurt, or an
injustice, for example. There is a sense or perception of loss, lack,
imbalance, or even a ‘hole,’ if you will, within our energy. We use words as labels to communicate the
feeling of the energy within us. We
label our emotions such as resentment, sad, or hurt. Sometimes we can’t even put a label on it and
simply say, “I can’t believe it. I can’t even find the words for it.”
The
state or action of forgiveness brings balance back to our energy, state of
mind and emotions. Forgiveness is for the
person who offers the forgiveness. It is giving forward
to restore balance where there is an experienced imbalance in the energy
between people, a situation or within your own being.
Forgiveness
is a gift for ourselves ~ balancing the
energy within regardless of the actions of the other party. Apologies are for rebalancing inequities in
energy/actions of the one giving the apology.
I invite you to look at the following example for more clarity:
Let’s say
for example that I am sitting next to you.
As I get up and accidentally I step on your foot. At that point, I feel ‘bad’ for stepping on
your foot and possibly hurting you. I
say, “I am sorry, please excuse me.”
That apology assists me in rebalancing the energy within me.
Depending
on your experience of the same situation, you may respond with a couple of
different answers. If the situation did
not upset your energy or cause pain, you may respond with, “No worries” and
feel there is no need for forgiveness.
You did not experience an imbalance in your energy.
If you
felt an imbalance in your energy and received my apology, you may respond with,
“I accept your apology… all is well.”
And now the energy is rebalanced with in you.
In the
same example, I may step on our toe and not realize it. I do not experience any imbalance in energy
within me and therefore do not offer an apology. At the same time, your foot hurts and you
feel a great imbalance in energy. You
may continue to resent the fact that I totally disrespected your space and was
clumsy in my movement. You may hold
resentment or forgive me. Either way it
is a decision in how you are going to handle the imbalance in the energy. Forgiveness
restores the energy within your being back to wholeness.
When
you find it hard to forgive, consider forgiving the person (or yourself) and
not focus on the action involved. Forgiveness does not mean you have to relive
the experience again. It is restoring
the balance of energy within you to create from an empowered place. If we understand that most people are doing
the best they can in the moment, and that includes yourself,
we can forgive the person without accepting the action as something we would
live through again. Align with the
Spirit of the person you are forgiving and see the highest in them as you do in
yourself ~ Namaste. Forgiveness
allows your energy to be rebalanced and to create/act
from wholeness, self love and self-empowerment. Now you can address the person from your
highest to his/her highest and create a more beautiful relationship than to
simply dwell on the negative experience.
We
can move into our greatest forgiveness when we see the gift in the experience. We
gain greater awareness about our own Spirit when we look for the gift in the
experience by asking, “How has this experience made me stronger, wiser, or more
compassionate?” These are simply
examples because the gifts are infinite.
Having gratitude about the experience brings us back to an energetic
balance of harmony and wholeness, (our natural states) creating a more
authentic life for ourselves. We release
a ‘hurt’ state of being and embrace our wholeness. This supports us as we create from the
authentic self in the moment as the Spirit that we are.
I offer
this in the greatest of Spirit and Love.
I offer this so that you continue to walk your path in the highest of
vibrations, authenticity and beauty as the
