Forgiveness PDF  | Print |

Take it to your grave and risk your mind/body health, or resolve it as soon as possible and be free to live to the fullest.

 


Some time in our lives we have someone cross our values, or hurt us in some way.  If it hurts us deeply or we become disappointed, all to often we make a decision to never forgive them, for trusting them again, might be the worst thing to do.  Or we forgive easily, and let people off with a warning, and should that person reoffend, we just get wiser and not rely on that person in the same way again.


But for those of us who hold resentments and hurts deep down in our emotional bodies, we have a harder journey to bear. Today with modern psychology, a simple process called the “forgiveness process” takes us to a new level of understanding, resulting in a new way of looking at that person.


I found in my own experiences that forgiving is the best idea, rather than holding on to old hurts.  Because to be holding on can cause constipation and other digestive problems, cancer and arthritis, heart attacks, the list goes on. So it is my encouragement for anybody who does suffer from lack of forgiveness, to give it a go; try opening to how to change that one deeply unresolved thing in your mind that silently eats away at you while you’re least aware.
