“We can never obtain peace in the
outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” ~The Dalai Lama
In yesterday's post, Free Your MInd After Divorce, we talked about the benefits of forgiveness. Today we will focus on the importance of forgiving yourself first.
Famed spiritualist Michael Beckwith shared his insights in a sermon I recently went to and offered this valuable information:
Forgiving yourself has three components:
- Forgiveness
- Surrender
- Change
Used in a mantra, these three words accelerate healing at breakneck speed.
I invite you to take a moment and repeat this mantra and see what comes up for you, Allow yourself some time with it… If you feel no emotional charge you are golden, but if you do, there is healing to be done to clear that feeling. It's a wonderful and liberating exercise. Spend five minutes repeating this out loud.
MANTRA:
I forgive myself for… (fill in the blank)
I surrender
I am ready for
change…
Dr. Michael Beckwith, Founder of Agape Spiritual Center and one of the thought leaders starring in the Secret, says, “All forgiveness is self-forgiveness. It's imperative to free yourself from the toxicity of what's running through your mind. Don't give your power away to any circumstance allowing it to determine your happiness. You have complete control of your life and happiness.”
To this I say, “ Right on, and Amen brother!!”
Surrendering is next – and this isn’t
what you might think – giving up. No, the context here is to surrender to the
greatness that is in you so that you can move up to the next stage of evolution
being the best version of you.
Upon doing this you are announcing to
the universe that you are ready for change and like magic situations will start
presenting in your life that confirm change is happening.
