Forgive and Get Healed

Thirteen steps to forgiveness:

 1. To forgive, you must recognise that it is your emotion and stop blaming others for how you choose to feel.

 2.Accepting what happened allows you to move from the past to the present, and healing happens in the present.
3. Focus your forgiveness on the person, not what was done by the person.

 4. The negative emotions you are feeling are the stress and toxicity locked into your physiology. Imagine you are forcing that sensation out of your body.

5. Ask yourself, “How much pain and suffering or distorted thinking would I have had to be experiencing to do that?”

 6. From a Vedic perspective, everything is the result of karma, so whatever has happened to you was perhaps the result of some previous act of yours.

 7. No matter how dark the experience might have seemed, look for the opportunity.

 8. Meditation brings clarity of thinking and opens your heart, bringing compassion.

 9. Sometimes there are several layers to forgiveness. Keep digging until you find that peace.

10. Forgiving doesn’t necessarily mean the person who has committed the crime should not be legally punished.

11. If the situation involved someone close to you, sharing your feelings can create a strong, meaningful relationship.

12. Living your life consciously will help you avoid situations that could be hurtful.

 13. You’ll know you have truly and fully forgiven someone when you can face it with no emotional charge.
