We are never rejected,
We are simply redirected.
I believe nothing that happens to us is a secret to the universe.
There is purpose in our pain.
Everything we will go through is perfectly orchestrated by divine design for each of us.
We each have a unique path we will follow.
Every choice we make,
Both good and bad,
Will ultimately align us with every experience we are meant to have in order for our soul to grow,
Transform,
And expand.
Nothing is wasted.
Forgiveness and vulnerability are gifts we give ourselves.
It never means we think what someone did or said that hurt us was right or okay.
It means we accept this was an experience we had to go through to grow and learn about ourselves.
Everything does happen for a reason.
The past was exactly the way it was supposed to be.
Forgiveness gives us freedom.
Freedom from the heaviness of anger,
Bitterness,
And sadness.
We are lighter because we no longer hold grudges.
When we are hurt,
We tend to blame ourselves for whatever went wrong.
All this does is feed the fear of being hurt again.
Fear wants to hold us in its relentless grip.
Fear keeps us from ever forgiving anyone,
Including ourselves.
Unforgiveness chains us to the past.
We do not move forward.
We do not open to a new beginning because we are trapped in the pain of the past.
Sometimes we even end up trapped for years.
Unforgiveness can then manifest itself into sickness in the mind and the body.
Chronic stress and anxiety can lead to several ailments,
Including insomnia,
Depression,
High blood pressure,
And a weakening immune system.
Nothing is ever worth your well-being,
Inner peace,
Or holding yourself back from reaching your full potential in this lifetime.
Now is the time to break the chains of unforgiveness that are wrapped around yourself and others,
And begin living the life you were destined to live.
Let's begin by softly closing your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling up the belly,
The ribs,
The shoulders,
The chest,
And allow the exhale to fall gently out of your mouth,
Getting completely comfortable,
Bringing ourselves into stillness.
Relax your eyebrows,
Soften the jaw,
And begin to feel every muscle in the body relaxing,
Becoming heavy.
As we focus on the next inhale through the nose,
Allow the exhale to come out of the nose,
And then visualize yourself standing before a golden flame.
As you walk towards the flame,
You begin to see someone from your past who you have not forgiven.
See them walk forward through the flame,
Standing before you.
Take a deep breath in and a big breath out.
You begin to hold both palms of your hands out forward to them.
As you stand before them,
You say,
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
As you breathe in,
You see them smiling back at you.
As you exhale,
You feel all the old anger,
The old pain,
The old resentment.
All of the heaviness cleared away into the flame,
Transformed into compassion,
Into forgiveness.
As they smile back at you,
They turn away and walk forward into the flame.
As both of you understand and know,
All is well now.
As you breathe in and breathe out,
You begin to see someone from your present life walking forward through the flame.
Someone you are currently having a challenge with,
Or a difficult time.
As you stand before one another,
You hold out the palms of your hands towards them.
Gazing into each other's eyes,
You say to them,
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
Breathing deeply into your heart space,
It has grown even wider and brighter.
As you exhale,
You are both smiling now,
Feeling the cleansing,
The clearing,
The clearing away of all old hurt,
Old pain.
Clearing away any current challenge between you two.
It is cleansed,
It is cleared.
Standing before one another with nothing but compassion in your heart,
They smile gently and turn away back into the flame.
Breathing deep into your heart,
Feeling the expansiveness of the heart space.
Exhaling away any lingering heaviness,
Any lingering doubt is gone now.
And as you gaze back into the flame,
You now see an image of someone coming forward and as they walk closer and closer and closer,
You realize it is you.
And as you exhale,
You hold out your open palms towards yourself.
And as you exhale,
You gaze into your eyes,
Knowing all the pain,
All the blame,
All the shame you have held for yourself.
It's time to let go now.
It's time to forgive yourself.
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
Feeling light as a feather,
Clear as the blue sky,
You know now that the path forward is cleared,
Is ready for healthy,
Happy,
New beginnings.
And with an open heart,
You walk forward into the flame and to the other side,
To a whole new experience of your life.
Breathing in and breathing out.
And then slowly,
Open your eyes.
