Forgiving Yourself and the Others

Forgiveness is an essential process we have to learn to experience inner peace. In this post, I have a simple exercise picked out from a book by Arielle Ford called The Soulmate Secret.

This exercise may help overcome past experience and move forward with forgiveness toward that person. I did it and felt great afterwards. I felt love for myself that I can finally let it go, I felt released and free from being locked in this box for a long time.

This steps below will be slightly different, as I’ve added a few minor things which worked well for me. You can do it for past lover, boss, friend, anyone that wronged you from a previous experience which you feel incomplete. You will cut the energetic cords with that person and the previous experience/relationship, and feel a sense of letting go.

You’ll need a pen, stationery, candle, some soothing music, lighter, and something to hold the ashes. Most importantly, you can only forgive a person if you are willing and want to do it. If you’re not ready yet, you can always do this later when you’re ready to forgive.

  1. Set a relaxing mood for yourself, this should take about 30 minutes.
  2. The pen and stationery is for you to write your forgiveness letter. This letter can be as short or long as you want. But ideally should be long enough to include the below points:
    • First things you can think of about what happened that caused you to have this anger
    • Your feelings then and now, also describe it
    • Forgiveness for both you and the other person. Remember, in any relationship, there’s no one person that’s always wrong or right. Perhaps you’ve also done something to contribute the outcome.
    • Write as if you’re talking to the person, tell him/her exactly what you want to say, how you feel, and a sense of closure so that the both of you can move on.
    • This is a letter, so don’t forget to sign it!
  3. Read the letter out loud, and FEEL every word. Feel the forgiveness, the love, and letting go of this person and the past relationship
  4. Close your eyes and meditate on this for a few minutes, let the feelings of the letter linger for a bit. Then imagine an energetic cord connecting you to that person. This cord can be connecting to your stomach, your heart, wherever you feel comfortable. Now imagine, perhaps also with your hand gesture, to cut the energetic cord, so that you’ll no longer be connected to that person. And imagine the cord disappearing after you’ve cut it. Take a deep breath, slowly open your eyes.
  5. Burn the letter to ashes, and feel a sense of letting go and closure as you burn it.

This is a great way to help you clear any blockages these past experiences have on your life today. When you feel less hate and more love, you’re sending a positive frequency to the Universe to attract more positive things and people to you

I hope this post can help you, and the best to all of us trying to forgive, forget, and move on!
