How to Forgive
The following is an excerpt from a book called "Mystic in a Minivan" by Kristen White:
Practice Forgiveness: Stop Drinking your Own Poison.
When we hold resentments its like fracturing our soul and leaving pieces of ourselves trapped behind in old experiences. This depletes our bio-force or life energy. Over time, you no longer live in the present moment; all your energy is trapped in old resentments and regrets, or future worry. Its like you left a trail of crumbs back to an old wound. Youre leaving all your life force behind as useless markers. Save your energy and live in the now. Candidly, you cant afford the luxury of resentment and hatred. It simply cost too much of your self. It traps your spirit and prevents it from reaching its true expression.
The way to release old energies is to practice active forgiveness. If this is difficult, start by forgiving the part of yourself that is not ready to forgive. Put yourself at the top of the list. Now list out everyone youd like to forgive, and everything that upsets you. It can be the time you got a ticket because your license plate was out of date. Any old resentments qualify. Put them all on the list. Now go through the list and forgive them at the highest level, with your intention. Next, create a little ceremony, and burn the list.
Let it go! Remember, everything is only happening in the now. The past and the future dont exist. The only co-creation is in the present. This exercise frees up all of your energy to create the life of your dreams.
