Good Health and Genuine Happiness
It has been proven that people who practice forgiveness on a regular basis are healthier and happier.
When you live in the state of forgiveness, your body is more relaxed. Your heart rate and blood pressure stay on a normal healthy level. This in turn creates a better flow of oxygen to the brain. A better flow of oxygen leads to clearer thinking and the wherewithal to remaining calm and centered even during stressful situations.
People who practice forgiveness are not blind to the events taking place in the world. They are not ignorant of the negativity that exists here on the earthly plane. On the contrary!
People who practice genuine forgiveness are very much aware of everything happening to them and all around them. But instead of living as a prisoner to all the negativity, they consciously make a choice to take (and keep) control of themselves. Because they know first hand the damaging results of holding on to any pain, they consciously exert the effort to maintain the energies of forgiveness. In particularly, the forgiveness of self.
Clarity and Expanded Conscious Awareness
As you sift through all the pain, releasing it through unconditional love & forgiveness, you begin to see more clearly. The act of forgiveness literally lifts the veil allowing you to see everyone involved did the best they knew how at that given time. Even in the most harsh situations, we now can see how we may have done better -- but were not in a position to do so at that time. But now we know we did the best we could. The best we knew how at that given time. We now see that everyone was doing the best they knew how.
We now can see how we have benefited from all those experiences. How it has created the person we are today. How it has led us back to our true selves!
Through the act of forgiving our Self -- we can now take all the wonderful things we learned with us … leaving behind only those things that no longer serves us. We can now walk upright, shoulders back and chin up. We now know who and what we are.
This knowing brings us to the next by product of the forgiveness of self . . .
Courage
Forgiving one’s self -- genuinely and unconditionally -- brings a type of courage that no one can take away.
Forgiveness of Self breaches the energies of our self-imposed prison -- freeing us --opening up our eyes to all the lies we‘ve been told and had continued telling ourselves throughout our lives.
Like a rubber band stretched too far -- we snap back into full awareness. It is then we become conscious of -- and fully connected to -- who and what we are. We feel the fuel of righteous indignation bubbling up, reaching a boiling point … and that's when it happens. That's when We suddenly stand up and say with conviction … shouting it to the heavens ... our independence! It is in that moment ... We take back our power! We take back what what is rightfully ours -- OUR SELF!
We now ... finally and fully ... comprehend that Everything we experience comes from within. That the choice to live in freedom or to live in a self-imposed prison was always our choice to make. We finally get it!
Feels good … doesn’t it?
So what are you waiting on? Your Self is waiting for You!
