Great Blog, Forgiveness is my big thing of the moment and releasing judgements, lessons all being provided by a close soul mate before I can move onto my Twin Flame! I love your stuff and your Wisdom of the Avalon Cards are my cards of choice since I got them for Xmas last year! ) x
Namaste

@ Sharon…

I know how you feel. Try to keep in mind that forgiveness does not have to be defined by saying, “I forgive you and now I’m over it. Let’s move on like nothing ever happened.” The truth is that you can make the choice never to deal with any of those people again. Don’t give them the power of affecting your emotions and self worth.

Real forgiveness I think is for YOU, not necessarily the person you are forgiving. It is permission for yourself to move forward and put those issues behind you. You address that these awful experiences happened, you lived through it, learned from it, and hopefully became a stronger person. You can use those experiences as an example of how to help others…to teach you how you would never want others to perceive you in the same manner.

If the people in your life are making you feel this way, it’s time to get new people in your life. You have the power to make the choices for yourself in every aspect of your life.

Take an inventory of your life and look at who makes you feel good and who doesn’t. The ones who don’t, you should take whatever life lesson you learned from dealing with them, FORGIVE, realize that they were placed in your life in order for you to become a better person, and MOVE ON.

Positive things are attracted to other positive things. You say that you are over it, but I don’t think you truly are. Take the power back over your own life & count your blessings for the things in your life that ARE good.

Once you realize this, and stop letting situations and other people control how you feel, you WILL be able to move forward and the universe will show you the way.

I have tried and tried and Forgiveness is not there. I had a Brother and family who were so mean and disrespectful to Mom and Dad when they were both Dying, i tired to be nice, but he was soo nasty. After they Both Passed He and his family were still just mean. I finally let go and said what ever. I forgave and forgot, then they have turned the rest f my family against me, What? Ok what ever. Now i forgive on a daily biases and Pray for all the People every night. Yet every day i still have People who are just Hateful to me. I do nothing, i sit in my house and work on Art or my Book and yet i am Befriended and treated bad, and now it is going twords my Daughter. How can i get things right, i have no one left cept my Husband and Daughter. Why? I have heard of the Desert period, but i have been in the Desert all my life, and no trees in site. I am so tired.

Thank you for this article…although I am only beginning to accept myself, I hope to one day forgive myself and maybe even love myself. Thank you for you.

I went through some things that I am not very proud that I did and I am now forgiving myself, accept it, and moving on, I do not want it to hold me back any more.

The forgiveness exercises and meditation Colette taught me have definitely changed my life! If you are struggling with forgiveness, particularly forgiving yourself, I can’t recommend the meditation highly enough.

Colette, That is a very, very fine guided imagery mp3. Thank you so much! Love the sound of water, the music
and especially the sound of your voice.
