I Forgive You and I Forgive Me
Can you forgive? Anything less will not bring you peace. Why not forgiving is a karmic trap...
This is the 'golden key'...
Can you Forgive?
Anything less will not bring you peace.
And, if you planned this life before you came into a physical body (and you did), can you forgive the other actors on your stage of life for playing the role you gave them?
I cannot stress the importance of this enough.
Sometimes we think we cannot let go. It is only our ego trying to deflect us from the layers of pain and then finally the unknown that sits below our anger or resentment.
No matter what has happened to you, you have to let it go. You have to forgive, to release it. As long as you hold onto anger or resentment, you are holding on to karma, remaining chained to the karmic wheel of suffering.
Strategies to keep us ‘safe’ from further hurt such as anger, distance, or retaliation only serve to keep the connection in place and this unhealed experience will return, continuing to manifest in this life or the next in increasing degrees. It takes various forms and if the initial ‘perpetrator’ has been excluded from your life, someone else will take their place, continuing to provoke the suffering until you learn to heal it, to bless it for the lesson and let it go.
We think it is not easy to put down the burden of this baggage but it will be as easy as we choose to make it. Many fear Karma or use it as a threat, yet it is only energy and it dissipates when we no longer believe in what anchors it to ourselves.
Our Metaphysical Game Plan
Many say, ‘I’m not coming back’, or ‘Why would I do this again?’ yet we do. Correcting karmic imbalances can only occur while in a physical body and when planning a lifetime we are filled with love and compassion for the struggle ahead. We knowingly choose increasing degrees of experience and discomfort until we finally 'get it', whether in this lifetime or another. It is part of the promise we made to ourselves before we came into the physical. This ensures our Higher Self continues to give us opportunities to wake up - even when we have long forgotten the plan and are filled with anger, resentment and despair. Our suffering is not who we are, rather, it is a reminder of what we are not.
People come into our lives for all kinds of reasons and none of them by accident.
The experiences we have with others are to uplift us, to allow us to uplift them - a simple 'hello' may be the very thing that reminds someone that the world is a beautiful place. They might be playing a role as a 'backdrop' in this performance or they may have accepted a starring role as a soul family member in a physical body. The other kind of role doesn't feel so good, and it is always a gift. Those who create discomfort are here to remind us of what it is we need to work on: self-respect, boundaries, forgiveness.
Wound Gift
Betrayal Trust divine intuition, the Higher Self always offers a warning, create
healthy boundaries.
Abandonment To remember all are one; we can never truly be abandoned.
Persecution & Usually to remind us of previous wounds, heal wounded healer,
Injustice accept shadow self, bring light and dark into balance.
Unheard Heal throat chakra; learn to listen to and speak own divine truth.
Emotionally We have come into learn to stay connected to our emotions and to
Devoid teach those who have forgotten the importance of emotional
guidance.
Look Inwards
Turn away from uncomfortable situations if you must but always look inwards for the message and the self-healing - or indeed it will replay in another form.
This is our divine life plan, playing out in the physical. Can you forgive the actors you 'hired' for this performance?
If I created a divine life plan before I came into this life (and I did), am I a victim to the experiences I encounter in this lifetime?
Or am I a powerful co-creator of my experiences that are here to remind me to release the burden of karmic energy?
And what will I gain if I cannot forgive myself?
And what will I lose if I cannot forgive myself?
We are infinitely deserving of forgiveness, of the power of grace.
I forgive you and I forgive me.
Can you do the same?
When we choose to see life from this perspective, we begin to view our experiences from a position of power rather than victimhood or disempowerment.

At every point we have an opportunity to choose - something different, something the same, or take no action which is also a choice. We can step into our power with a different perspective. And when we see life like this we have the power to forgive (ourselves) and release karmic baggage.
Healing Wounds
• Notice the hurt, pay attention to where you feel it in your body.
• Allow your mind to analyse the situation from a metaphysical perspective.
• Has something similar played out before? Is there a theme?
• Do you need to choose something different, create a boundary, say ‘no’, prioritise yourself?
• Imagine an aquamarine energy flowing in through your crown and out of your feet as it moves deeply into Mother Earth.
• Place your hands over the part of the body where you feel the discomfort.
• Breathe steady breaths, releasing residue energy in every out breath.
• See the aquamarine colour flowing through your cells and every energetic point, healing and releasing all unhealed energy.
• Say, “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you".
Yet some will say they cannot forgive themselves
That to hold onto the guilt is a reminder of what they did wrong and a way to remind themselves not to do it again. Or that they simply don't deserve to be forgiven for what they did. Each of these are unhealed trauma patterns. Please recognise them for what they are, move beyond them or find help to move beyond them. We truly are having experiences we have co-created to help ourselves learn, grow and evolve. When we 'miss the point' or the lesson by getting so caught up in Egoic thinking, we get to experience something similar in another lifetime. There is no judgement in this, only an invitation when we are ready.
Infinite Love
Finally, what sits below the layers that makes up our baggage is always beautiful. Always.
You are a divine being, a divine energy in a physical body, having a physical experience that you planned for yourself before you came into this body.
Trust that you knew what you were doing at this level and let go of the fear.
I forgive you, and most of all I forgive me for orchestrating my experiences.
And so it is.
Love
