I am glad that you found my blog and this particular post on Love's Day! Your heart-felt comment reminds me that this blog is not just a nice hobby of mine, it is a way of serving the community of seekers. Your mom is a wise woman, you are fortunate to have a friend and teacher in her. This meditation technique is a gift to us, to let go into the freedom of experiencing the depths of our own love, as we open our hearts again. It is a meditation that has helped me tremendously, for forgiveness is the foundation of healing, for giving love to ourselves once again. I send you blessings for your continued healing and discovery of the greatness that you are. Deep peace to you! Hello Kanan,

Welcome!

Earlier today, my wonderful mother (whose core is so deeply rooted in spirituality) was talking to me and helping me understand how I should always look always inwards for guidance and listen to my gut instinct; how I should never forget who I am and depend entirely on another person; how I should not allow disturbances in my life to shake my core or equilibrium (as it has happened time and again in my life - clearly a lesson I still have to learn). All day, I reflected on what she said and realized how right she was. I've hurt myself so much by not adhering to the above words of wisdom. And so, I did a simple Google search on forgiveness (something my mom has helped me work through for a long time) and I came across your blog. I can't tell you how helpful your entry was. I did the forgiveness exercise just now and it brought forth some emotions indeed but it restored me with a certain strength - a sense of peace and lightness just as you describe through your own example. Through this Buddhist forgiveness technique, I've finally understood that in order to move on and let go 100%, you have to truly forgive. I already knew this but the letting go bit has been particularly tough for me. The reason I haven't been able to move on completely (from a negative relationship that ended 2 years ago) is because I didn't truly release all negative emotions lingering in me. So, when I did this act of forgiveness, not only did I forgive the guy who hurt me but with that forgiveness, I acknowledged releasing the leftover pain, guilt, resentment etc. that I've been holding on to for so long. I sincerely believe that repeating this forgiveness technique for some time will truly rid me of any attachment I still have to that guy and that episode in my life. In other words, thank you. Best, Kanan Hi Miruh,

The topic of forgiveness and compassion is difficult to grasp, we are told to do it, but it is more a process of Being. It is not easy to explain Being, I am glad that it seemed clear for you. Peace to you! Hello Nicole,

Thanks for your kind comment.

Sometimes, with spirituality, meditations, blessings, spells, etc, it is so difficult to explain the "feeling" part of things and the use of intuition, but you have described it perfectly.

Thanks for returning to add to the conversation. Peace to you! Hello Liara,

One learns a difference among aloofness, indifference and the more conscious awakening of what is. Miruh, life experience teaches ahuman being how to learn not to react to events.

As you say, it is through the courage to look within, that we uncover Truth. Thanks for sharing your wise words. Peace to you! Hello Liara,

Human beings often lose them somewhere in the abyss of the psyche. And yet, the negative energy that reverberrates in your tone of voice or quick temper in certain circumstances rarely relates directly to where you are. To courageously take journeys into yourself, you rediscover sources of wisdom, inner strength and timeless knowing. Your insights are greatly appreciated. Such initatives inspire a domino effect elsewhere. Miruh, you remind readers that everyone has the capacity to reflect and take steps to heal emotional wounds.

If we can remember in the moment that all our experiences happen for the best even if we cannot see it, acceptance of what is, we will live our lives with ease and wonder. Thanks for pointing out that this exercise can also be used to reframe our experiences with an outcome we would prefer, healing the past and making a new template for the future. Have a happy weekend! Hello Alexys,

Then I thought, if it had not been for that experience you would have not been able to share it with us. See, things happen for a reason. No one likes being laughed at or teased though and kids especially are cruel. I find this exercise can also help to re-live experiences over with our own outcome. It's part of our healing yesterday and making today more alive. :D Hi Miruh,
