Forgiveness

[Guest guest]

Since we are moving on to the Heart Chakra, I felt compelled to share

a personal story about forgiveness.

 

My first husband was a miserable human being who took every

opportunity to put me down. He especially enjoyed making fun of my

spiritual pursuits. I became so miserable and despondent that at one

point my intuition disappeared altogether and I was flying blind.

This lasted for a few years. I am not sure how I survived because I

have always beenn a spiritual being who lives by intuition and

instinct far more than logic. All psychic abiliity disappeared and I

felt completely abandoned.

 

When I finally extricated myself from this disaster of a marriage, I

had a LOT of anger and hatred towards my ex. He began a campaign of

harrassment that sent me into a tailspin and left me dreaming of ways

to get revenge. I was in a really bad place.

 

My father is very religious and was teaching a Sunday school class

and invited me to go because he had a guest speaker. I went to

please my dad. The man who was there offered to pray with anyone who

needed it after his talk. We were milling about the room and he came

up to me and told me that I was holding unforgiveness in my heart.

He started plucking and pulling as if there was a string coming out

of my chest and telling me to let go of this burden. It was one of

the most intense experiences I have ever had! I don't know what

compelled him to come to me or how he knew what my problem was, but I

felt this release and I started bawling like a baby. The tears just

kept streaming as it all rushed out of me. All the anger, rage,

hatred.

 

That is the day my spiritual life resumed, my intuition returned, I

started dreaming again. I learned a valuable lesson about

forgiveness. It is as much for us as for the person we forgive, if

not more. When we dwell on the negative we draw it into our lives.

When we forgive someone I believe it does two things. It releases us

but it also effects the other person's soul in some way, perhaps

planting the seeds to making them a better person.

 

Sorry so long, just felt that I should share this.
