Forgiveness

Forgive and forget. Right? A`ole hiki. (Absolutely not!) It’s Forgive and Remember. In remembering, it’s validating our learning’s and experiences of the past. Forgiveness releases the negative emotions or trauma around the event so we can access the learnings, which give us the understanding that strengthens our future resolve so that we can move on in our lives.

Ask yourself this question

Have you ever done anything inappropriate in your life?

Most of us would respond with a “Yes.”

And be thinking something along the lines of “But, that wasn’t really me. That clearly wasn’t the bowl of light within me. There were a lot of things happening at the time. I was young” … and so on.

The thing is, we are not our behaviors and are all doing the best that we can with the resources and abilities that we have at the time. This is the basis for forgiveness.

Of course, that doesn’t give you a free pass for inappropriate behavior. You are still accountable for your actions and have to pay the consequences for such behavior.

When we forgive someone, we are not forgiving them for the inappropriate behavior that they did (remember, we are not our behaviors) - because if they did it today, it would still be inappropriate.  We are forgiving that bowl of light that is within each of us.

Forgiveness, releases the negative energies and emotions inside of you and completes your healing.
