Forgiveness I: Saying YES to God's Blessings
Most of us have tried to forgive in the past, to varied success; we end up:
- thinking about it,
- complaining about it,
- feeling crappy & stewing about it,
- re-living it,
- yelling or crying about it,
- TRYING to let go of it!
Although I have been known to indulge in the above activities, I have found another way that Really works for me: Inviting the blessings of God, the ENERGY of forgiveness into my system. When I spiritually allow-in forgiveness blessings, it miraculously shifts my energy: my thoughts, my feelings, my Resistance to letting-go of the past, my Attachment to my pain, hurt, anger, resentment and my stories of what I think I need for a 'fair' conclusion. All this begins to melt away, and a more delicious experience grows within me, as I allow God's spiritual blessing IN and my energy shifts.
For me forgiving others is hard enough, forgiving myself is the really difficult part for me. What about you? Trying hard to forgive (myself or others) never got me very far, rather I have found the miraculous power of forgiveness truly is by Grace, not by force of will.
God is constantly showering us with mighty blessings, which we rarely let IN - how do we consciously & experientially allow God to spiritually bless us? How about try this: to let in God's blessings, it can be as straightforward as asking God for the spiritual blessing of Forgiveness by noticing a waterfall of Forgiveness energy from God into my body and the space around me. From here we have the potential to shift, sometimes subtly, sometimes profoundly. This higher energy can fill us with the blessing of forgiveness, and wash-out all the other detritus. It can be that easy to shift spiritually, if we let it.
Mother Mary is my go-to for forgiveness.
Ask her to assist you to heal and forgive.
You can intend to learn from Mary spiritually/vibrationally/monkey-see, monkey-do, about forgiveness.
This may take practice, it may require some help BTW
- this isn't how we are trained - but TRY it!
Forgiveness II: Sharing God's Blessings with the Our World
Jesus spoke about forgiveness, a lot actually. One thing he said that kind of wraps-up his perspective for me, is: "in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged." I used to think of this saying as a tit-for-tat kind of thing - a Judge sitting there, looking at what I did and having me 'reap what I have sown'. If I was/wasn't willing to share my toy, therefore the Cosmic-Cop would increase or limit my access to more toys!
It turns out that the very-same judgement that I live-in and I allow for others, Really Is what is applied to me. But, having looked at this as a spiritual healer for quite a while now, I have a very different perspective on the mechanisms behind this process. God isn't rewarding or punishing me! It is a matter of the energy I am inhabiting.
From my perspective, the waterfall practice/analogy is really powerful here. What I notice spiritually is: if I allow God to Grace me with the blessing of forgiveness, invite in the waterfall of the energy of Forgiveness, all those around me are in it as well. If I allow you to be in a waterfall of forgiveness, then I am in it too - I have to be! So what I allow for myself, you get. What I allow for you, I get. It is that simple.
This is not only a tremendous key in our forgiveness process, in my experience, but in all aspects of our lives: love, peace, joy, trust, healing… The blessings I allow God to shower me with, you get. The blessings I co-create with God to shower on you, I get. What an easy, beautiful way to transform our world!
Forgiveness Part III: Being with
What IS
Spiritually, I perceive Forgiveness, as
very similar to the energy of Validation, Truth, Certainty,
Acceptance, Gratefulness, and 'Healing that is an experience of the
Wholeness we Already Are', in God. This seemed really strange at
first, because from a flesh/body-perspecitve, from my experiential,
intellectual and emotional perspective, these ideas had been very
different things for me. But, eventually I realized what they had in
common: They are all about 'Being with what IS.'
Powerfully, spiritually 'BEING with
what IS' opens up a whole new world to us. Many of us are fighting,
judging and resisting what IS. It is can be life-changing to start
allowing the energy of 'Being with what IS' to shift our spiritual
perception, as well as how we consciously experience ourselves and
our world.
In my ministry, I work with spiritual
focus and energy. I believe, practice and experience that when we
allow God to bless us with different energy, we change spiritually –
then everything inside us and around us changes. And it does. We
co-create our lives with God, from the inside-out. When we say YES,
God can assist us to change our mind, change our heart, change our
experience. There is much wisdom to support us in this process of'
BEING with what IS'.
I find it fascinating to apply the
distinctions and power of 'BEING with what IS' to Forgiveness! What
I have noticed, as a spiritual healer for the last decade: at its
core, Forgiveness really is fundamentally 'BEING with what IS' on
every level of our being. What they did, what I did, what happened,
how that affected me, them, the world…. this can just become a
FACT, a past-reality; without a big-long story, without a truck-load
of emotionality attached. I really can stop suffering, stop living
in the past, and just BE; and I can let them do the same.
Amazingly, the healing progression over
time can end up in 'Loving What Is'. It really can. And the process
is not because we are mighty forgiveness machines, or because we
power/fight-through it, it is by saying YES to Grace, by allowing God
to bless us with the spiritual gift of forgiveness.
