Okay, welcome to our next section. I hope you've now accepted yourself fully and you're the fullest version of who you can be. So welcome to our next section. What is the title of this section? This one is about forgiveness. And so what we're going to be doing is raising our vibration through the experience of forgiveness.

So, kind of the subtitle for this one could be, you cannot be happy if you cannot forgive. What is forgiveness? forgiveness? Let's see a definition. Yes. So forgiveness is to cease feeling resentment against an offender.

So that's okay. So that sounds great. Right. So so when I first started getting becoming aware of forgiveness, I thought it was more like the priest and the Confessor. So you go to Confession or something priests forgives you tells you say 10 Hail Marys or whatever gives you a little blessing and you go on your way. So That's what I thought forgiveness was like, you know, I thought I could just say, Okay, I forgive so and so and dah, dah, dah, dah and go on my way.

And the problem would be that, especially like, in my first marriage, you know, it's like, after that ended, I thought, okay, I forgiven her. It's like, great, I'm moving on my life. The problem was, I have harbored incredible resentment. And so I still harbored a grudge and anger for years. And then I realized, hey, that is not forgiveness. How can we best understand forgiveness?

Well, forgiveness is a relationship between two people. So when one person has harmed another, or has been harmed by another, a new relationship exists, and we've all done it, we've all hurt somebody, and we've all been hurt by somebody. So when that happens when someone has been hurt or you've been hurt by someone, there's an energy connection between you and that other person and it's an emotional energy connection and so on. Forgiveness happens is when that negative energy connection no longer exists. And so now that doesn't mean that we accept inappropriate behavior. So if someone has harmed you and done some real damage to you, forgiving them does not mean they've been absolved from doing a wrong deed or from hurting you or other people.

What forgiveness means is that negative energy connection, that negative emotional energy connection between you and that other person does not exist anymore. So let's go back to the example of when I got divorced. So I was angry and resentful for years and it wasn't till I really did some soul searching and some deep meditation where I was able to let go of those negative feelings. So so it took me quite a while, quite a long time to get there. You know, if you forgiving someone, it's a good question. So the best way to know if you've forgiven someone or not is to just think about them.

So if you think about someone who has hurt you, or, you know you've been hurt by or whatever, if you just think about them, if you feel resentment, anger or hurt, as you think of that person, then the forgiveness is not complete. It still is there. And so. So when the forgiveness is completed is when that energy connection no longer exists. And so when you can think of that person and all of a sudden you feel neutral, or you feel maybe content or something with yourself, or but they're just no longer on your radar. So that's when forgiveness is complete.

And hopefully with time you can see that relationship that you have with that person as a learning experience. Something that made you stronger, or maybe even taught you about what forgiveness is. And then as time goes, by, hopefully you can experience that whole situation in a state of peace and compassion not only for the other person but more importantly for yourself. Isn't that the results of forgiveness? Well, the results of forgiveness are many. And so that's why forgiveness is such a big deal.

Because it's a, it's a, it's an incredible healing mechanism. So the first thing it's going to do, it's going to heal unresolved emotions. So. So any unresolved anger or resentment or hurt they've had with another person, when you forgive that person, then those negative feelings no longer exist inside of you. And those negative feelings can drive your decision making in your behavior. So when those are gone, you're free to make more than free to make choices that are more in alignment with who you are not affected by the past so much.

And as I mentioned in the previous section, I think it was the last section we talked about repeating patterns of pain. And so if you go into forgiveness and let go of someone from the past, any repeating patterns of pain that are associated with that other person will also stop and they'll be let go of It also disconnects you from a negative relationship. And so those negative relationships that we hold with other people on an emotional level, they take energy. So each of us only has a finite amount of energy. And so we can tie up quite a bit of energy and those negative connections and so when those negative connections no longer exist, our energy comes back to us until we have more energy to place into something that's more positive. Also, if you've ever been in a situation where you've forgiven someone and actually feel like you really forget, forgiven them and let go of them, what you're going to feel is an enormous sense of emotional freedom.

It's like forgiveness is freedom. And so when you let go the past like that, all of a sudden you're free to be present in the moment. You know, it's like in some situations where I forgiving some people, I felt greatly relieved to move on, and to just kind of not be affected by the past. And then the last thing that can happen with forgiveness is that if you forgive somebody that's done something to you, and you've actually do it from your heart and you let go of them. It's a it's a tremendous sense of empowerment. And so what that does that makes you in charge of your own life and increases your self esteem.

That's great for everybody. In the process of breaking the energy connection be painful. Um, that's a good question. I would say. It depends on where you are in that situation. So I would say when the time is right, that it won't be painful.

So because pretty much the pain exists in the world, whatever happened to make you in a position where you have to forgive somebody in the first place. So that's where the pain is pain is in the past. If you let go of that, perhaps there can be pain associated from the past that goes with that. But that pain is In the past, and that's where you can let it go to. And so then you can begin on the journey of being more healed and hold in the moment. So that's a very good question.

Thank you, who's the most important first thing we can forget the most important person, we can forgive, I'll give you a guess. ourselves Exactly. So, so because if we can let go of any resentment, or anger or whatever we we, that we have against ourselves that can be enormously freeing. So that goes into goes also goes back into the realm of self acceptance. And so when we can forgive ourselves completely, we can also accept ourselves as we are with our imperfections and even with the mistakes we've made in our life. What will we be doing in this meditation?

In this meditation, what will we be doing? So this is the one on forgiveness, right? So Oh, so what we're going to be doing so With self acceptance, we went into an experience, where we reframed our perception of ourselves when we were young, so what we're going to do is we're going to go into a deeply relaxed state on this one. And we're going to reframe our perception about the perpetrator of who we are forgiving. So I won't go into I don't want to like give the story away, you know, so it's pretty good. We're going to be seeing someone that has has heard us are harmless in a different light.

And what we're going to do is what we see that we're going to let them go, and then we're going to call our energy back to us, which will actually feel come back into our bodies when we let that person go because they've been holding it for us and they don't need it anymore. So this is a deep and profound one also. So let's go to the meditation and be deep and profound, shall we?
