Forgiveness
Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved. - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Letting go, that the past could be any different. This is such a powerful statement. My journey these few weeks has so tested me. I always believed I was a fairly forgiving person - always quoting "everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have on hand at the time". But things recently became very personal and wounds were re-opened and I did not respond in a loving,forgiving way. I was judgmental and upset and generally very closed off.
The Forgiveness unit of the Body Love course came at the right time for me. After much turmoil and self talk I managed to put into practice one of the tools we learned about in our course. It did take me several days to work up the courage to ask for forgiveness and I was ready to take whatever reaction came from it. I used the Hawaiian version - Thank you, I'm sorry, I love you, Please forgive me."
The response was surprisingly gentle and loving. Not what I had braced myself for. I felt a tremendous lift and I definitely feel my healing journey is well on the way to better health for me.
Much Love
Me xx
