Read Forgiveness for Free Online

realized that there is no separation. Life is truly circular. What goes around really does come around. Our work, the really hard work, is to recognize when something huge lands at our front door. Forgiveness opens our mind and heart so that we can recognize the healing opportunity when it shows up. The four years of fighting with my granddaughter’s father had nothing to do with him. He was just being himself, living his life in a way that felt right for him. Perhaps one day, his lesson will show up, and he will experience a shift.
    My work was to recognize and be willing to tell myself the truth about my own behavior so that I could forgive my past and my current thoughts, beliefs, judgments, and behaviors. Once I was able do that, I drove home and went to bed. There was nothing else I could say or do. There are some aspects of personal healing and spiritual development that are simply exhausting. Forgiving yourself is one of them.

Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for at least 30 to 60 minutes. You can do this work in the morning or just before going to bed. I prefer going through the process at night so I can sleep off any memories that rise to the surface.
Begin by stilling your mind for at least 5 minutes. You may find the Stillness Meditation on the accompanying CD to be a great support.
Read the Forgiveness Prayer offered with the day’s practice twice, once silently and once aloud. Hearing the prayer will align you with the Holy Spirit, as it is the presence of the Creator that responds to our slightest request.
Remember to scan the Emotional Triggers List , which will prepare you to dig deep into your consciousness. Give yourself permission to be radically honest with yourself about yourself.
Using your journal, write and complete each of the 12 Forgiveness Statements. Each time you write a Forgiveness Statement, fill in the blank with your most heartfelt thought or memory to access your innermost thoughts and beliefs.
Perform your Pro EFT™ Forgiveness Tapping Sequences. Review the general instructions on Tapping into Forgiveness , then use your own Forgiveness Statements for the day’s topic and tap on each of the 10 points outlined on the tapping diagram. If you need additional support, watch the Tapping Videos at www.ProEFT.com .
Process your thoughts and feelings consciously. As you move through the Tapping into Forgiveness practice, give yourself permission and time to experience any emotions or thoughts that may rise to the surface. Record your additional insights and breakthroughs in your Forgiveness Journal. If at any time you feel overwhelmed, listen to the Stillness Meditation again before attempting to complete your practice.
Listen to the Gratitude Meditation on the accompanying CD, as it will help to restore your mind and heart to balance.
Complete the day’s practice by spending 5 to 10 minutes in quiet reflection or listen to gentle, meditative music.

    I F ORGIVE M YSELF FOR J UDGING M YSELF
    T oday’s Forgiveness Practice is all about forgiving YOU. This is by far the most self-loving, self-honoring, self-affirming gift you can offer yourself. It is the logical place to start because self-forgiveness opens the heart and the mind to greater possibilities. In addition, not until you have forgiven yourself will you have the courage and compassion to forgive anyone else. You cannot unsee what you have seen. You cannot unhear what you have heard. What you can do, however, is stop wishing that what has happened had not happened. For this reason, I think of forgiveness as a “spiritual laxative”—it eliminates long-held mental and emotional toxins.
    Regardless of how bad, wrong, or unforgivable you or your behavior has been, you deserve to be and can be forgiven.
