The language of Spirit, seeded within your heart, is waiting to be activated and manifested on Earth. The divine language of compassion, understanding, love, and peace is catalyzed by forgiveness. Forgiveness allows these healing powers to flow from God into your heart and body, releasing you from the pain of past hurtful experiences. Free from this pain, you find yourself willing and able to extend the language of Spirit to others.
The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a spiritual power. It opens the door for the flow of grace from God into the heart, mind and body. As grace gently touches those protected and vulnerable hurt places within you, your new sense of lightness and perspective helps you see the hurtful experience through God's eyes—the spiritual perspective. Lovingly and gently, each painful memory is caressed by forgiveness. So much inner tension containing layers of unworthiness, turmoil, despair, confusion and isolation, melt away. God shines the light of Truth and Mercy upon these memories that you may begin to feel the relief of peace, compassion, and understanding. These aspects of Love heal and liberate you from the pain of the past.
Forgiveness is safe. It is a place where you are protected by your Creator—the One who loves you thoroughly, knows you completely, understands you perfectly, and accepts you fully just as you are. Here you are REAL. You receive the healing you desire and here you are made whole. Forgiveness is received by trusting in God, and when perceived, you open to Spirit's bounteous blessings for your life. You begin to find it is safe to trust God, perhaps for the first time. Even if you have held resentments against yourself and others, sincerely ask for forgiveness to flow into your heart that you may experience the liberation that truly heals.
Life’s journey offers many opportunities to practice receiving and extending forgiveness. When you encounter a situation where your “hot buttons” are pushed, you may be in no mood to forgive. If you’re unwilling to forgive, start where you are and ask God’s help to become willing. Relax into the energy you feel and set an intention to attain the desire to forgive. Ask for God's forgiveness to flow into your heart. It may take some time to perceive it, but you are cultivating an internal environment for the tendency to forgive to grow. Over time, the more you practice, the more easily you will seek to forgive as an initial reaction when someone wrongs you. Allow the practice of forgiveness to build naturally and gracefully through each decision you make.
Eventually, forgiveness will be so strong you will respond to all potentially hurtful situations with this spiritual power. You will also become a healing vessel for others as they receive the spiritual balm they need for their upliftment. As each person practices and embodies forgiveness, the cumulative efforts will significantly alter the way many people respond to hurtful situations. Each “hot button” dismantled through forgiveness reduces the potential for hurtful situations to even arise. Healing greater numbers of increasingly complex and wide-spread social problems becomes a way of life. Forgiveness is the antidote to all of life’s hurtful conditions born of poverty, greed, hatred, intolerance, anger, shame, and guilt. Practice it often and see how much good you bring into the world!
Practice Forgiveness Daily
The healing quality of forgiveness is the power of divine love. We can have as much as we need. Living in forgiveness implies that we want to adopt this attitude throughout our daily lives. Being forgiving requires practice. It takes time to be naturally forgiving as a first response instead of giving way to condemnation, anger, or other negative emotions when confronted with a hurtful situation. Forgiveness does not mean you condone another’s behavior. Rather, you recognize and acknowledge something is off balance and the situation needs a healing action to restore harmony. Taking these steps of forgiveness accomplishes that.
Forgiveness is the first ray of love to wash away negative feelings and open space for spiritual information to inlay into mind and body. Understanding situations from a higher perspective fosters feelings of compassion and acceptance. The body and mind move into a restful state of peace and balance that underscores healthy living.
It takes time for a “triggered” mind/body to yield to this higher spiritual response, especially when there is a spontaneous defensiveness. Yet it is possible to overcome barriers to receiving and giving forgiveness. One of the first steps is to ask for self-forgiveness which will, over time, banish feelings and tendencies of unworthiness, guilt, shame, self-justification, self-righteousness, anger, intolerance, and other powerful negative responses. Notice how you feel in thrall to these negative emotions. Do you feel resistant? Diminished? Powerless? If so, you are blocked from receiving the flow of forgiveness. What re-establishes the flow into your mind and body? It is simple—the desire for forgiveness.
While you may think you are justified in withholding forgiveness, the body instinctively knows this is harmful. We carry around so much extra weight in our negative feelings! Our bodies are affected by powerful, emotional toxins of pain and anger. In receiving forgiveness, this giant weight is lifted from us and in its place is a lightness that allows joy and peace to enter and grow. It is so healing. The sense of "weightiness" is alleviated as FORGIVENESS does its healing. Exercising forgiveness as a daily habit, you are able to live in grace and love more and more, all the time.
The Body's Innate Response to Forgiveness
Our bodies are very receptive to forgiveness. Its spiritual energy imprints spiritual language, catalyzing a biological response in the cells of our bodies. It sets off a chain reaction of healing bio-electrochemical functions. You feel as if burdens you have held in your body for so long actually melt off you! And it feels so very delicious.
The lightness of being that accompanies the release of burdens is felt physically, emotionally, and mentally, and brings about greater emotional stability, mental clarity, peace, and well-being. Added to this are new insights and ideas to deal with challenging situations more positively and creatively. The emotional component of forgiveness is as significant as the physical part. All burdens can be washed away with forgiveness when your will and trust are sincerely open.
So what happens in the body? Forgiveness enters the body like a stream of golden light that has the consistency of honey. It softens the hard layers of resistance in various places within the joints, tissues, and organs where memories are encoded in many patterns. As the softening occurs, bio-electro-chemicals are released and travel to the brain via meridian and nerve pathways. In the brain, healing and restorative neurotransmitters and other cellular transmitters are released and travel back into the affected areas giving healing information to the cells. Some of the healing bio-electro-chemicals act as switches turning on/off correct neural receptors. Sometimes you may feel waves upon waves of peace, stimulated by hormonal receptors. And all of this happens almost instantly.
Forgiveness energy released into the cells causes a shift in emotional and mental memory behavior patterns that previously caused the cell to decay. Forgiveness enlivens hardened, decayed cells and breathes more space between them. New information is then coded into the cells. Some information is physical: it tells the cells what to do to repair themselves; some is emotional: it provides you with feelings of peace and security, for example. You literally feel like you are being inflated, very gently, as Spirit stretches your capacity for more healing. Sometimes, these energy exchanges happen without human awareness, yet the body responds to each and every little nuance of forgiveness as it imprints a new language into the cells. The body loves forgiveness!
A body receiving regular and frequent doses of forgiveness can bring itself back into alignment through its innate, self-correcting processes. Forgiveness generates feelings of wanting to be whole, or satisfied, and the resulting effect in the physical body is one of renewal and rebirth. Try it and see for yourself!
