Forgive for Yourself
Straight to the point. It is hard to forgive and we may not want to, we may think that it is unfair to forgive or that it is even not right to forgive. But do it for yourself! For the peace, for the calm for the open mind and heart! Give yourself that gift!
Open Mind
The whole process starts with open our mind to the person or people that we want to forgive.
This is the first step becasue our heart can not open until our mind is open first.
The first step in this process is the most difficult because we must face our resistance.
This resistance is essentially intellectual in nature where we believe that it is wrong to even think about forgiving them. This resistance is fixated on the idea that what the other or others have done to us was wrong and was nothing but painful for us.
These two beliefs have to be openly investigated for us to be able to open our mind. In fact, as soon as we consider investigating these two beliefs the opening of our mind is starting. To have resentment and to have even read this far is a sign that your mind is opening.
Was What They Did Really Wrong?
Was it absolutely wrong, or just wrong for me but right for them?
Did They Really Hurt Me?
Did they hurt me? Or did I hurt myself with my own thoughts and feelings about what they did?
More to come...to be continued...
