2) allow what comes up to be - just BE - for several minutes. Follow and go deeper, like the stripping of an onion, go deeper to the core of what pops up. What's the main issue to understand, love and release? (see the video Love it to Release it at the event wall)

3) state your intention to release this baggage (out LOUD)

4) write out the details of it

5) destroy it ceremoniously

6) perform the forgiveness ritual

7) sit quietly and enjoy the state of love


Second, here is the first of the Five BASIC Principles of Forgiveness:

Benevolence.

"Certainly forgiveness has everything to do with benevolence. It is the ultimate gift of love and understanding. True forgiveness is an act of love. When you forgive a person, or yourself, you say to them and to YOU … “I release you (myself) from this grip of guilt, this dance of negative connection we’ve been involved in.”

Though forgiveness is an act of love, it’s not necessarily a statement of love for the person you’re forgiving. You can in fact truly forgive a person and still not find them, in that moment, lovable.

Say for instance, forgiving a person who molested you as a child. Forgiving that person for that specific act because you decide to see their horrific behavior from another perspective, does not suddenly grow that individual into another person. They’re still who they are perhaps. If you no longer have contact, you can’t really be sure about their personal growth, spiritually or psychologically. You can’t peg your ability to forgive or not to forgive on the extent of their reformation. That’s your power you’re giving away, if you do that. Of course it’s an “easier” task if the person is truly remorseful.

So benevolence - love for yourself, for others and for the world has to come into play.

In this case with forgiving a childhood abuser (as I have had to do) it's love for yourself that must be the guiding force.

By releasing the abuser you are releasing yourself; you are loving yourself enough to do the courageous thing and forgive.

It's a gift of love to you because it's like giving yourself freedom... to live your life fully, finding deep and lasting joy, peace and prosperity.

That's one heck of a gift to give yourself. It really is the gift that keeps giving as EVERYONE you come in contact with will benefit... beginning with loved ones - family and friends, coworkers, staff, etc.

That is true benevolence."

WOW - what a long message today - should I apologize? Maybe not
as it's important for you to see this process as a life- changing event and not a burden.

And the things that are good for you, take time no?

*sending smiles*

God bless you.
