The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
- Marianne Williamson Part of the aware journey is having the courage to forgive. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes, especially while you figure things out on University Earth. It’s just part of the journey to fail, learn, forgive and level up. The healing of the world starts in your heart. There is a radiant and beautiful soul ready to shine every time you tap into your own well of compassion. When you dive into that well, you are increasing your capacity for love, empathy and grace. To truly forgive, you must be able to speak from that space. Oftentimes, the act of forgiveness, to yourself, or to others, is the vulnerable gesture that allows you to see yourself in a whole new and brilliant light. When you are illuminated in this light, you will be able to express your authentic story so clearly that your life, and the lives around you, will change. When you step into compassion and forgiveness for yourself, you begin to heal the world. Let's try something out today. Call up to your mind a time when you might have held back out of fear of "not being good enough". Maybe it was a romantic date or maybe it was a promotion? Remember the sensations of being curious and excited about that opportunity. What did it feel like in your body?
What was sparking your curiosity? Next, I want you to do the hard work of feeling into the part of you that told you to avoid that date or deny that promotion. Did you feel a heaviness, a restriction, did you breathing get shallow? What were your thoughts? Was that voice aggressive or sly? Get to know this voice. Once you're settled in knowing what you wanted and hearing what diverted you from trying, I want you to get centered and take one of those big deep aware breaths with me right now. Deep breath in, hold for a beat, and let go completely. Now call that dissenting voice up in your mind and speak directly to it, saying: "I forgive you for holding me back. I know you were trying to protect me. What I wanted was to experience (insert your original desire here). I am whole enough and ready now to follow my spark." Take another deep breath and just notice your body and how you are feeling. Feel free to repeat, adjust and personalize this affirmation even more! It helps to be very specific about what it really was you were going for originally. And it helps to repeat this process as needed. You will know it's working when you feel confident to withstand the uncertainty that comes with following your dreams and sharing your story with the world! In love & gratitude, |
