Theme: Forgiveness

Power: Understanding

Experience: Peace

In the month of July, we are focusing on the theme of Forgiveness. Forgiveness is a winding journey of the heart, mind, body, and spirit. It is the act of releasing our attachment to negative connection that feeds victim consciousness and further separates us from our good. We are spiritual beings living a human experience. While we will likely have many opportunities to practice forgiveness throughout our lives, we have the freedom to choose negative separation or peace and positive connection. 

When we choose peace and positive connection we are choosing to let go of the pain, hurt, and the negative feelings toward ourselves or others. This is the simplest description of forgiveness. It seems that the ego and personality wants to hold onto the anger, the sadness, and woundedness that we associate with an incident or circumstance. However, as we grow spiritually and mature personally, we discover the power of understanding can open our hearts to forgiveness in a new way. 

As we learn, develop, and grow, we often experience compassion and empathy for the other or even ourselves in the given situation. The power of understanding is the ability to comprehend and interpret knowledge; make cognitive connections. It is an integral path in the journey of forgiveness. This month you are invited to open your heart and mind to the faces, names, situations, and times in your life that you are holding in unforgiveness. What are you ready to release? Are you prepared to embrace the freedom in heart, mind, body, and spirit that forgiveness brings?
