Our message for this week is forgive.
In our affirmation,
When I accept and release past mistakes,
I let go of pain,
Keeping only the lessons and the love.
Okay,
So yes,
Forgiveness.
This can be a tough one.
And,
You know,
Talking about love,
Many people are stuck in unforgiveness in regards to relationships,
Whether it is a relationship that fell apart,
A friendship,
A marriage,
Or maybe you experienced a betrayal of some sort,
Maybe even in a business venture could be.
Many people struggle with forgiveness.
So I want to talk about the first sentence.
When I accept and release past mistakes,
There's the key.
So I want to tell you,
First of all,
If you are holding on to forgiveness,
You are not hurting the other person,
Or you're not changing what happened.
You are only holding yourself back.
You know,
You're only hurting yourself.
You're only staying stuck in the hurt,
In the anger,
In the fear,
In the sadness.
You are basically sticking your feet in the mud of all of that.
And you're going to stay there.
And the most important,
The first step in forgiving is finding acceptance with what happened.
And it doesn't mean you think it was right.
And it doesn't mean that you like the other person and you want to talk to them again.
It doesn't mean they ever need to be around you ever again.
It only means in this moment,
I accept that this happened.
And I'm ready to move forward.
But the only way we can do that is by letting it go.
And you let go by first finding acceptance that this situation,
This hurt,
This pain happened for a reason.
Again,
And I think I said it in the other episode,
There's purpose in the pain.
There's purpose in the pain.
There's a lesson that happened that you were meant to go through,
And it was only going to happen in this situation,
In this relationship,
In this way.
It was only going to happen.
The lesson was only going to happen through the hurt,
Through this betrayal.
And when you're in it,
When you're in the depth of pain and sadness,
It's so hard to hear this.
And I understand that.
So I'm going to give you a little exercise that you can do and get out your journal.
And it's writing a letter.
And the first letter is to yourself.
The second letter is going to be to the person who you're holding something against.
Something against.
And it's most important to start,
I believe,
With self-forgiveness because a lot of people who are holding on to unforgiveness are really blaming themselves,
You know?
And so we must start with self-forgiveness.
So start out by writing a letter to yourself and start out with a simple phrase I feel angry that.
And then start writing.
I feel afraid that.
And then start writing.
I feel sad that.
And keep writing.
And then you're going to write the words,
The two words.
I accept that this and this and this and this occurred.
And write about the situation,
Write about the pain,
Write about it.
And then you're going to move into the here and now.
I accept your place in it now.
Accept your part in it now.
And then you're going to write about the deep desires of your heart right now and ask yourself what it is you need right now.
What help do you need from God,
From the universe,
From your angels?
Write it out.
What I'm asking for help with is this and this and this.
You know,
Help me to find acceptance with this.
Help me to let go of the pain.
And remember,
Emotion is energy in motion.
And when we write journaling,
It's literally you are releasing.
You are actively releasing past pain,
Past emotion.
It's so powerful.
So it says,
When I accept and release past mistakes,
I let go of pain,
Keeping only the lessons and the love.
So then I want you to write about the lessons I learned from this are da,
Da,
Da,
Da.
You may not even realize it until you start writing,
Right?
And you're going to have these light bulbs go off like,
Oh,
I did need to learn that.
You know,
There is purpose in the pain.
And remember,
Forgiveness is a shift.
And it's a shift,
You know,
Just like A Course in Miracles says,
It's a shift moving away from the fear and moving back into the energy of love.
And that is a miracle.
Miracles happen that way.
So write that letter to yourself and then write a separate letter of forgiveness to the other person,
To the other party.
Write the letter,
I forgive you for da,
Da,
Da,
Da,
Da.
I accept that this happened.
And let it all out on the paper,
And you will experience a shift in your energy.
And you may need to do this maybe more than once.
You know,
Once might not be enough.
But if you are someone today who,
When you think about it,
You still haven't found forgiveness with a situation that happened,
And it might be just with yourself.
You might be stuck on not forgiving yourself for an old past mistake or an old situation.
Repeat this exercise again,
And again,
And again.
And remember that in this way,
You are connecting to your higher power.
You are connecting to your divine mind.
And this is healing work.
And it's going to benefit everyone in your life,
Everyone around you.
But most importantly,
It's going to benefit you.
It's going to benefit you physically,
Mentally,
Emotionally,
And spiritually.
And spiritually,
Because if you're holding on forgiveness,
You are suffering,
My friend.
You're suffering,
And you're blocked.
And you know,
The doorway is going to open when we find and embrace the energy of forgiveness.
And we accept that this is what happened,
And the past couldn't have been any different.
Your path is happening for you,
Not to you,
Right?
Our life happens for us,
Not to us.
So,
You know,
Do this forgiveness letter exercise.
It's super,
Super powerful.
When I accept and release past mistakes,
I let go of pain,
Keeping only the lessons and the love.
Yeah,
So,
You know,
Allow yourself to step into the love that is there for you,
You know?
Love is all around you.
Remember that.
Love is all around you,
And there's so much to be grateful for.
So,
Yeah.
Thank you for joining me for this week's message.
I'm so grateful for you.
Thank you for joining,
And I will meet you right back here next week.
Have a beautiful day.
Namaste.
