Forgiveness is a choice.

    Many times we hang on to anger and doing so the anger weaves itself (many times silently) into our daily
    experiences. When this occurs … buttons are pushed. We find out how touchy we are … and it’s known as
    unfinished business.

    Forgiving someone isn’t giving him or her permission to repeat the same behavior. It’s about releasing them
    from your radar of being wronged and learning to trust you in a way that it won’t occur again. You can’t hang on
    to old experiences and the emotions that keep you distancing and at the  same time being open to experiencing
    what life has to offer.  

    Sort of like driving a car with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake.

    I remember going to the gym and getting on the treadmill and while a part   of me was checked in and alert to
    what I was doing (walking), another part of me went to a place in my mind and experienced a process
    developed   by Louise Hay.

    Here it is with a few of my modifications:

    Visualize the person (place or thing) and say: (their name) ________, I forgive you for ________________.”

    Sometimes you will have to do this several times for one situation/person. As you feel like you’ve released the
    feelings that you’ve been holding, look again at the person (in your mind) and say,

    “I forgive you for not being the person (place or thing) I wanted you to be. Thank you, I release you, I let you go
    and I set you free.”

    It was profound for me to realize how much anger along with a host of other energy draining emotions that were
    released and miraculously how much better I felt.

    When a person is on a journey of becoming healthy – body, mind and spirit – they forgive themselves also. So
    now, visualize yourself and what you’re angry at yourself about … make it very real and use the same template:

    (Your name), _______________, I forgive you for _____________________. I forgive you for not being the
    person I wanted you to be. Thank you, I release you,  I let you go and I set you free.


    Now, imagine your heart being filled with love and feel it.

    Good job!
