To forgive is an amazingly powerful gesture, freeing the soul and spirit from the connections to an event, a person or a situation that has caused a disruption to our wholeness...
We are our hardest critic.
Often with more awareness, our first inclination is to be even more critical of oneself. We beat ourselves up and get stuck in these timeloops of repeating those events, situations, people's interactions, and let them destroy us over and over. We build walls to keep out positivity and praise because we deny our own right to be happy.
We feel that we don't deserve happiness or joy and aren't worthy of recognition because it is almost as though we hold a grudge with ourselves.
How can you truly forgive someone else if you won't even forgive yourself?
Friendships are always layered with forgiveness, because our expectations are never met the way we really wanted...
Are you friends with yourself?
Why not? You are a beautiful being and deserve love!
You are just as worthy of receiving love as everyone else is. Embrace that reality, be willing to accept love.
"You are your own best friend," -Richard Lauria, words of a sage still echo through the tribe's collective unconscious...
"Remember who you are..." -Rafiki (the lion king)
Did you get the message?
Do you know who you are?
You are an infinite being of light extending outwards in all directions of space and time and we are all one consciousness experiencing our subjectivity to disperse our awareness to all potential directions at once, now. You are all of the love in the universe and all of the sadness, all of the knowledge as well as the ignorance. "There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves, here's Tom with the weather." -Bill Hicks
From this perspective, all things are related and possible...
Accepting that we are all one is a tremendous responsibility to the universe. It is accepting the great as well as the horrible. It is acknowledging that all things reside within us as well as without.
So here's the secret!
Understanding and knowing these things about the nature of your divinity and oneness, you can shift anything in your life, no matter how terrible, simply through gentle awareness and self forgiveness.
Sounds too easy?
The hardest part is accepting our actual power over it. Being in your own power can be a frightening thing of you have had to supress it or keep it hidden for most of your life. Awareness is remembering this inherent power, and forgiving yourself for not noticing that it is as simple as telling yourself that you love yourself, apologizing, asking yourself for forgiveness.
We all want to heal and find wholeness and this begins in the now.
This moment is all we have...
Forgive yourself now, know that you are worthy and deserving of love, for that is your divine right as a citizen of the cosmos!!!
If you can not forgive, then you cannot truly release your attachments to the memories of your hurt or difficult past...
Find the jewel of the lotus in the mud of your experiences. Notice the positive in the pernicious, the triumphs amidst the terrors. Your perspectives will open as you forgive yourself for holding your pain.
Release your fears with love and connection to you!
As a mirror to the universe, we are collaborating the infinite with each breath we take.
You are loved.
You are sorry and worthy of forgiveness.
You are grateful for all parts of your experience.
We create our now, and so it is.
Just be.
