Forgiveness is one of the fastest and safest ways to cultivate self-love. You don’t forgive others to set them free. You forgive yourself and others so that you can cleanse, heal, transmute and dissolve the emotional wounds, traumas, damages and prejudices that close your heart.

If you really want to create a more loving and supportive life for yourself, often the first step is to heal and open your heart and start living from it.

Just take financial issues as an example. When people experience financial problems they often become anxious and worried and focus most of their mental energy on how bad things are and this only makes things worse. The way the Law of Attraction works is that whatever you focus your mental energy and attention on magnified by emotion multiplies.

So when you worry about money, you are focusing mental energy on lack and scarcity magnified by fear and anxiety. You then further magnetize the lack and scarcity of energy to you from the Law of Attraction. So don’t worry, be happy. I really get it… Easier said than done! But true nonetheless!

That was just an example. Insert any problems, worries, or pain that may be consuming you. Because this is where you are creating perfect blocks in your energy and your Divine state of health by simply holding on to the things that have hurt you. Do some giving for your own greater good! Return to perfect health in mind, body, and spirit simply by practicing forgiveness.

Here are some forgiveness techniques for you to try! See what works best for you.

Forgiveness technique number 1. Get into a meditative state of mind (calm, relaxed, and peaceful) and think about the person or situation that is bothering you. Visualize yourself as a glowing ball or pillar of light. Now ask the other person’s soul self to introduce itself. Explain your feelings and how that person has hurt you. Really sit with these feelings for a moment. Then begin to release these feelings while telling the other person that you forgive them. Now visualize your glowing ball of energy getting brighter.

Forgiveness Technique Number 2. This technique can also be used in different areas. If you are fighting a disease, visualize it as energy and talk to it. You may even want to write a letter, but if you do, DO NOT mail it to the other person. This is just a technique for you on the inside for your own forgiveness. Let the other person do their own work if it means a lot to them.

Forgiveness technique number 3. Get into a meditative state of mind and think about the person or situation you want to forgive. Think about how that person or event changed your life. How would your life have been different without that person or experience? What did you learn from that relationship or event?

After doing this, you will usually find that there were some benefits to the association. Always look at the ways you have grown from having the experience; no matter how uncomfortable it was. Acknowledge this as a learning experience and thank the other person for that gift. Because truly, if you’ve grown from that, it’s a gift.

Can’t you see a totally different world we would live in, if we could all learn to heal ourselves through forgiveness? Also, sometimes you personally or your mind is to blame for blocking your energy. Do not forget to truly find the heart of the problems, and even forgive yourself! Because we ALL deserve a little forgiveness in our lives.
