Forgiveness

Healing is an important step in this journey. Sometimes it is difficult to move on until we heal past wounds. In order to heal we must forgive. Forgiveness takes time because it is difficult for us to concentrate on us instead of on that other person. Sometimes we defend our resentments and argue that the person does not deserve our forgiveness and so ultimately we do not realize that we deserve the forgiveness and that it is about us.  We have to forgive because the opposite feelings, such as resentment, anger and revenge do not serve anybody. These negative feeling acts as toxics that expands through the whole body making it vulnerable to various illnesses. Negative energy of resentment cannot contribute to happiness. When we become free of those negative feelings and forgive people and ourselves for our own wrongs, we open up the doors for our internal freedom. Letting go of resentment doesn’t mean to have contact with that person or to condone what they have done to you. It means that whatever experience you had before will not hold back your happiness.
