Releasing The Past...
 I was incredibly moved by the apology given to the Aboriginal people in Australia last week. It was definitely about time it happened and although the past cannot be changed we can only hope that the people affected can create a brighter future moving forward. This combined with running the Heal Your Life workshop over the weekend got me thinking about how we need to release the past and forgive everyone.
Forgiveness is the key to healing. This made me think of the Aboriginal people and whether many of those affected will now choose to forgive what has past. If you want to allow love into your life and live a healthy and joyous life you must forgive.
But how do we forgive, how do we let ‘them’ off for what they did to us or to those we love? Firstly we realize that the only person who gets hurt by un-forgiveness and resentment is us. The person you are angry at is most likely getting on with their life or they have forgotten about the event you are still holding on to! We waste so much energy hating, resenting, being angry or reviewing events or people. These things happened in the past and if you do not let them go they will continue to replay in your future. Is that what you really want?
Secondly, we choose to become aware that we have these feelings of resentment or un-forgiveness. Some people are acutely aware of whom or what they cannot possibly forgive and others have buried it so deep they are no longer aware of it. However in both cases your life is being impacted in a negative way. A great way to assist this is to have a forgiveness session where you get a pen and paper and write down everyone who has ever done anything to upset you or any event you cannot let go of.
Then you read the list by saying “(name of person or event) I forgive you, I forgive myself and I release you.” Continue saying it for each person until you feel like the weight has been lifted. Then you can tear up the piece of paper and throw it away. This helps you to become aware of any un-forgiveness or resentment you are carrying and allows you to let it go.
It is important to remember that you do not need to forgive the action of the person, you are just forgiving them. Remembering that we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge and experience we have at any given time. We must also remember to forgive ourselves and for some people this can be the hardest part. You may have done things you are not proud of but you must forgive yourself in order to move on. If you keep berating yourself over your past mistakes you will just end up creating more.
You cannot invite the new into your life while you are still holding on to the past. Whatever it is, it is time to let it go. Look at some of the wars and feuds that have continued for hundreds of years in various countries around the world, they have been fighting for years and all they get is more suffering. Imagine if they released the past mistakes and forgave each other! It is the same for us, if we keep hanging on to the past we end up in our own internal war and we can never find peace.
So choose today to forgive and release the past. Begin the journey to your own healing and opening your heart to love and miracles.
Have an awesome weekend and I ask that you may be blessed, that you might be a blessing for others. Keep shinning your light!
Love and angel blessings
