How to Forgive?

[Guest guest]

Can someone please show me the way to forgive, when there is still,

after a lifetime of hurt, pain, abuse, and yes, even some hatred

lingers due to all of the un-resolved conflict within my family. We

have been estranged for years and live continents apart. I have

beautiful almost 5yo twin boys who have never seen my family, and my

Mother died this April without us knowing,(Long,sad story.)I HAVE to

SEAL this VOID and MOVE ON with my life, as it is now affecting my

relationship with my own family, especially one of my son's, and this

is very distressing. I want to get past all of this baggage that very

nearly early adulthood; cost me my life, if not for the Grace of

God.I have passed thru many hurdles in order to Be Here Now. Now, I

am sending this out wiyh a prayer to all of you special KY people-do

you know a way to REALLY forgive when there is all of this pain? I

pray for them, and acknowledge my love for them, but that is

all.Thanks and God Bless,Georgia.

Georgia,

 

Are you practicing KY on a regular basis everyday? If not get the anger set

or any other set you feel drawn to and practice it every day. And do an 11

minute meditation. How about Smiling Buddah Kriya in Transitions.

 

Set your intention to feel love in your heart and to forgive. But do not

focus on this. Just focus on feeling loving in your heart for yourself and

for your life.

 

Forgiveness is a process that involves understanding and a higher level of

perception. You have to get to another space and then forgiveness will be

so much easier and even automatic.

 

One step at a time.

 

Sat Nam,

Gloria, your praying for & acknowledging love for those you hope to forgive

shows that you are on the journey, and that, as you say yourself, the Grace

of God is working in you; yet isn't it a journey that cannot be rushed? ( I

myself found it very helpful to go to my priest and declare in a loud voice,

without explanation, that I had forgiven some people -- and it was FIFTY

years later.)

Are you in contact with those you hope to forgive or, better, in contact

with someone who is in contact with them? Can you send a message of

forgiveness?

A complicating factor is that almost certainly they have resentments

against you/things which they ought to forgive you for, and they may not be

as far on the journey towards forgiveness as you are, or even want to begin.

All good wishes, David

Dear Georgia,

 

Years ago I was so desperate to forgive, and I didn't know how. For me

forgiveness was an act of will, a decision I made, and each time I thought I had

finally forgiven, the pain, anger,and yes hatred, and all those ugly feelings

would rise up and overwhelm me. I' d think I've forgiven them for this, so why

do I still feel the pain? I've learned forgiveness at first is not a done deal,

at least the forgiveness that comes from my own strength. For me forgiveness on

my own, was a process that had many levels. I'd think I was done, but the pain

was still there, and the issues would keep rising up. The only way I was able to

get over the pain and anger was that God has worked in my life. He worked a

miracle deep inside me.Thank God the pain is gone, and I am now a completely

different person. My past used to rule my life and I was in a lot of emotional

pain. I struggled with forgiveness and the pain of what had been done to me for

over 20 years. I'm now finally over my past. Yoga has

helped me with that as well. I no longer store emotions or stuff them inside my

body. I do Yoga everyday which keeps both my mind and my body at peace. I pray

and I meditate (though not as much as I should), and I try to connect with my

Creator everyday.

 

Peace and forgiveness will come to you. It is good that you pray for those that

wronged you, and the feelings of peace will come to you in time. I want you to

know that you are not alone in your pain. If there is anything I can do to help

you, please let me know. Kim

Sat Naam,

 

All of our loving prayers are with you! *

 

Kundalini yoga has many meditations that may work for your situation

depending on your own processes. Ones dealing with self-healing and

forgiving the self would be a great place to start. Then move onto

meditations for the heart chakra, so that you can come from a place of

self-acceptance and self-love when you are ready to practice forgiveness and

compassion towards others.

 

God Love and God Bless!

* St. Francis prayer

 

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace.

that where there is hatred, I may bring love;

that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;

that where there is error, I may bring truth;

that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;

that where there is despair, I may bring hope;

that where there is darkness, I may bring light;

that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

 

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;

to understand, than to be understood;

to love, than to be loved.

 

For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

And it is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
