The purpose of emotional pain is to wake you up. When you bring the unconscious to the surface, you are able to see the pain and begin to examine its roots; giving you the opportunity to grow and discover peace within.
Arising to your own healing is an essential step in living a life you love. It is your private world which truly drives your choices. When you choose to grow, you decide to do the work it takes to uncover your internal peace. The first step in this process is opening up and being receptive to forgiveness; for yourself and others.
Forgiveness creates space in your body, mind, and spirit. When you choose a pathway of compassion, it immediately alleviates the physical stress caused by negative thinking, short breathing, and ongoing upset.
Turn your pain into power; begin the healing process, and activate a life you love.
Pause for a moment and take a deep breath. Anchoring yourself in your being…complete these sentences, and bring your attention to them throughout your day.
I forgive myself for ______________________________________________.
I forgive ________________________ for ____________________________.
Forgiving others is not about condoning their actions, it is about waking up to your life and opening up possibilities of peace where pain once thrived.

Warmly and brightly,
Shajen
