Hello, Welcome to this space of serenity. I am Luis Marquez, And today we are going to deal with an ingredient that's as beautiful as it is necessary. Forgiveness. First of all, I would like to point out that it is natural to get angry and protect oneself against aggression. But it is not that healthy when we get caught in bitterness, Resentment, Or hatred. Holding on to that injustice, That betrayal, That affront, We perpetuate the tension and the dissonance, Building our own prison. In the face of any affront, Regardless of how unfair or serious it may seem, There is only one path to healing. Forgiveness. It is the only way to restore peace and harmony. Feel yourself loved. Completely loved. Taking advantage of this realization, Now evoke someone who has offended you. Contemplate this person from a state of fulfillment, And understand clearly what may have generated these unfortunate events. It may be that the root causes of these unfortunate acts can be traced back to the environment in which they were raised. Examine your wound and realize that it is only a scratch. Your true self remains as candid and splendid as ever. Try to establish a cordial connection with this person, So that both of you can feel a little more free and more loved.
