I was thinking about forgiveness today and what a difficult
subject it can be to talk about, consider, and take action on. What we
think we have to forgive is usually something that is hard to let go of,
people can do terrible things to each other and there are things that
we think are unforgiveable, if we look at forgiveness as a pardon or
absolution, as if what they did was not important or didn’t matter to
us.
Because it does matter, a lot.
The things we think we should or must forgive are those things whose memory stays with us for a long time. We remember the hurt that others do us and no matter how long ago it happened, the memory can evoke feelings that hurt as much today as they did when the situation happened.
But that’s not looking at forgiveness the ‘right’ way because aside from the emotions that we harbor around these situations there is another, more powerful way to look at forgiveness and that is from an energetic standpoint. You see, forgiveness is, first and foremost, all about energy. Sure there are a lot of emotions around it but it allows us to disconnect from these emotions because it releases the energetic hold they have on us.
