The Power of Forgiving
What Is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness doesn't mean that you agree with what happened. It means that you have an understanding of the situation that caused your hurt or anger, and you can let it go. Forgiveness is about taking back your power!
By and large, people behave in the only ways they know how. Sometimes, they have been sent by the universe to teach us a valuable though painful lesson through their behaviors.
Forgive them for the role they agreed to play.
Forgiveness must be true. It must come from the inside. The forgiveness must be so profound that the situation that caused your hurt truly doesn't matter.
Through a carefully choreographed Hypnosis/NLP/Guided Imagery transformational session, you can let go of the hurt. Yes, just like that, it goes! And forgiveness and understanding take its place.
When it's truly gone, you will know. You will feel lighter, more at peace. Carrying anger and resentment with you is like carrying a sack of coal. It's dark and heavy, and weighs you down.
List 3 people you have not forgiven and what you have not forgiven them for. For each person and event, perform the following steps:
1. Relax and enter the theater of your mind; now picture the situation that caused the need for forgiveness. Picture yourself rising above it and seeing it from a new angle, from today's point of view.
2. Acknowledge your part in the situation. If you were a child at the time, note that, and allow that although you felt the pain, the person giving the pain probably was behaving the only way they knew how
3. Bring understanding to the situation. Comfort that child in your mind, and recognize that you are not the powerless child anymore. You can make choices - adult choices - on how to feel and behave."
4. Bring closure to the situation by first forgiving yourself, then the other person. Acknowledge that life has moved forward since the time of that event and you wish to let go of any anger or resentment."
Forgiveness is a powerful force that can liberate your soul. It brings a fresh start. Give yourself a gift. Forgive someone today - yourself or someone else - and let the sunshine in!"

Great Quotations
Quotes about Forgiving
Hannah Arendt
Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would, as it were, be confined to a single
deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever, not unlike the sorcerer's apprentice, who lacked the magic formula to break the spell.
