|  | The Forgiveness Formula
With Christmas behind us and the New Year in full swing, many of us, (especially Cancer and Pisces and even though they hate to admit it, the strong silent Scorpions), turn our thoughts to people we've ended relationships with. No matter what sunsign you're born under, you may have family relationships that may have ended because of quarrels or misunderstandings. There are love relationships turned sour. An ex you can't help but hate. People who you've swore off and don't exist in your conscious memory any longer. Is this healthy?? No. Is it spiritually acceptable? No. Can we help the way we feel? No. Forgive us out trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. That's what Jesus would do. That's what we're suppose to do. That's exactly what we can't bring ourselves to do. Either the act was heinous. We've been disrespected and abused, hurt or wounded, misled, cheated, lied to, denied...whatever. Let this be the year to let go...not necessarily for the offender, but for yourself. Release yourself of this karma, of this debt, of this anger and you will be set free. You may not be able to call up the ex wife or old boyfriend. You don't have to. But you do need at some point to forgive and then let go. That's not saying you need to welcome this person back into your life with open arms...forgiving is enough. If you feel you want to do more, fine. But if not, forgiving is enough. Forgiveness allows us not only to set the other person free but ourselves from the chains that bind us in repetitive karma. If we don't learn to "let go" in out current lifetime. We repeat the lesson over and over in the next. No better time than now with the new year to give ourselves such a gift. The gift of forgiving. I've made it easy for you. I write a monthly syndicated astrology column for new age magazines around the country and one of my most favorite publishers to work with is Terry Ash with Eastern Spirit out of North Carolina. She is a delightful Pisces lady. In the Fall issue, there was a wonderful prayer. I am forwarding it onto you. It's called the Forgiveness Formula.
I ask your forgiveness for everything I have ever done that hurt you.
I forgive you for everything you have ever done that hurt me.
I forgive and love myself forever.
I release you to be yourself. You are free.
There is nothing between us now but love and light.
I love you unconditionally and forever.
We are one. So be It!
This formula can be used face to face or directed to the other person by the energy of thought. Their conscious participation is not necessary for the formula to work. You are joyfully encouraged to use this and to share it with others. It is one of the most powerful forgiveness formulas in the universe!
My hope for each and every one of you receiving this e-mail today is after your read this, you think about someone you need to forgive. Say the affirmation and direct that energy toward that person or people. By putting that positive affirmation out into the universe, you will get positive energy back. Thoughts are like boomerangs. You'll feel better. Release some karma. Use it on several people. It can be an ex-boyfriend who was a snake, angry ex wife, a spiteful in-law, a boss or co-workers or even yourself!
Say the affirmation with enthusiasm and believe it when you say it. | | | |  |
