A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos.
And I wanted to do a talk.
And a brief meditation as well.
About a very important subject.
In our lives,
And that is.
Forgiveness.
Forgiveness for what we may have done.
Or what others may have done,
What we perceive to us.
And forgiveness is a practice that can be done almost daily,
Truly.
It's a deep,
Deep practice that goes into our psyche.
And everyone in life experiences situations that can be very painful.
And life-changing in their pain.
And sometimes we feel that they're caused by.
Another person.
I certainly have had these situations in my life.
And the hardest part about those situations is being able to go.
Deep within.
And realize how important it is to forgive the other person.
And also to forgive ourselves.
And once we start to open that door.
Once we begin to realize the depth of that importance.
Of forgiveness.
We have then found an important key.
I think it's a vital key.
Now,
I know some people that actually do,
At the end of the day,
A life review,
A daily review of what's going on.
And they clear out what's going on at the end of the day,
Which is kind of good because it's kind of like maintenance,
Right?
Daily maintenance.
A lot of people just are too busy or too tired at the end of the day to do this.
Sometimes it can go years without doing that.
But when it does go that long.
Then there's a buildup.
And the mind is an interesting thing,
Isn't it?
The mind will play.
Tricks.
It can be the great trickster.
And we will sometimes rationalize.
It's easy to rationalize reasons why that person did something that was wrong.
And I know many people that actually go and try to.
Get a lot of other people on their side because of that,
You know,
And they build up a whole,
Almost like a case against the person.
Just to be reinforced in their feelings of being done wrong.
And there's a problem with that,
You know.
The more you build it up and the more you try to maintain.
This,
I'm right and they're wrong.
The more distance,
The more separation,
The more anger.
And the more negativity builds up.
And so it's really.
.
.
It's an ego trip at that point.
At that point,
It's your ego wanting to prove and defend itself.
And that's never a good thing when you get the ego involved.
So it's an inner trip that you have to take yourself in honesty.
To really review.
And to really get deep and be willing,
Just open and willing.
To accept the facts.
That forgiveness is the only answer.
Forgiveness is the only thing that will get you past whatever it is you're going through.
And once you find that forgiveness.
You open the door.
To much deeper understanding.
Of what's happening in your life and what you're really here for.
It's an interesting journey.
And it's a long,
Long journey.
And I really think it's best to try to do this clearing out before you pass away or pass on.
Because I think at the end,
And I have certainly read a lot about this and studied it and experienced some of it,
At the end of your life,
You have to do this life review.
You go through the slide review.
And you have to also at that point understand that power of forgiveness.
Be clear.
Of all those things that may have happened that you were holding on to.
With anger,
Resentment,
Or whatever,
You know.
So it's much better to be doing this and be clear before that comes about.
Let's take a little time.
Did you?
Go inside to get comfortable.
To just take our time to breathe.
And make sure your mind is clear.
Bye.
Breathing in and breathing out and focusing on your breath as you breathe deeply in.
And hold your breath and breathe.
Out.
And you probably will find that you can align your spine,
Your body.
Everything from your feet,
Your knees,
Your hips,
Your lower back,
Your.
.
.
Pelvis area,
Yore.
Second chakra that holds so much there and all those organs around the second chakra.
Ah,
You breathe into the heart chakra in that center of that love there.
That center of that love there in your heart.
Holds a very important place and holds many keys to understanding that forgiveness.
So we're going to take some time here in your heart of your heart.
Going deeply into what may be coming up.
And you can trigger that what's coming up by a thought,
Just asking you.
Self and your higher self.
Is there anything you need to forgive?
Be with that for a few minutes.
And things might come to you right away.
Or it may take a little bit.
But find out what occurs,
What surfaces.
In your heart when you ask.
Is there anything you need to forgive?
As you go there.
Go to that place of the objective observer to observe what that situation may happen.
Do not be afraid to view.
What happened in your reaction and how it affected you.
And your response.
Almost as if you were watching a movie.
And did you allow yourself to experience this movie of your life?
Imagine yourself as the director.
And the writer.
And in that job of directing.
And writing.
How would you clear this situation up?
With forgiveness.
Allow yourself to picture yourself forgiving.
Yourself.
For this situation that was created.
Breathing in deeply and just going deep within yourself.
And allowing that energy of forgiveness to play its role.
In forgiving yourself for this experience.
And if any defensive mechanisms come up,
Just allow that forgiveness to go deeper.
And send it more love.
And now allow yourself to just go deeper still and forgive the situation and the person that was involved in creating it.
Now this may take some time.
But try to see things again.
From a higher point of view.
There was some reason that this occurred.
May have been karmic.
May have been something very emotional.
But allow yourself to forgive that other person involved.
I forgive you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Some wonderful words that have been used.
And you can use that for yourself and for another person.
And once you surface into this situation,
Many other things may surface as well and come into that situation.
You kind of were opening the floodgates.
But you have that strength of your soul and your inner self.
To give you the love you need to be strong.
And the will you need to carry on.
That's a great gift.
That's a priceless gift.
And it's a powerful gift.
But it's there inside you.
You can call on it.
And you can allow it.
Do its work.
Allow that loving energy there inside you to completely surround yourself with a wonderful healing energy now.
Just completely allowing yourself to feel healed and to renew yourself.
Regenerate the energy needed and feel good about what you've done.
Feel good about releasing the situation and letting it go.
Letting it go,
Letting yourself feel whole.
And slowly come back into your conscious mind.
Come out of the meditation slowly.
And I always find it helpful to write down anything that you observed.
That you experienced that might be helpful to remember.
In words.
This is a deep,
Very deep process,
Deep,
Deep process.
Commend you for being willing to go into that place.
To do the work.
To allow yourself to be healed.
And to allow forgiveness to take its place and work with you and in you and through you.
I bow in the deepest of gratitude and I'm so,
So very grateful.
For you being there.
