The Law of Forgiveness: When we are able to forgive others we will be able to forgive ourselves.

When we harbor feelings of hate and / or resentment, we are poisoning ourselves. These feelings will affect us and those around us. Until we are able to forgive others we will not be able to forgive ourselves. This law is also known as the Law of Mercy. When we are able to show mercy to others we will be able to show mercy to ourselves. The emotions of hate, anger, intolerance, criticism will create a prison that will trap us. When we set others free from that prison we will began to realize that we were in fact the true prisoner that has been released.
When we forgive others we break the bond that we have created to the negative energy between us and the object of our feelings. When we chose to not forgive, we create a dam of energy that prevents good emotions and energy from coming to us. When we stay in the negative state of non-forgiveness, we still remain tied to the person that we have not forgiven. We become a prisoner to the negative bond with that person.
It is important to analyze your feelings about everyone you know dead or alive. Think about everyone that you ever have known and ask yourself if you feel and resentment or anger when you think of them. As you read these words is there a name that pops into your head. Who is that person and why do you have negative thoughts or energy when their name comes to mind? Focus on completely releasing that anger. Let go of whatever it was that was done or perceived to have been done that made you so angry.
This is also a form of distraction. If you are focused on being angry at someone that is time and energy diverted away from the things that you wish to accomplish. We all have only so many hours in a day. You can spend those hours being productive and positive or negative and non productive. It is a choice.
Once you make the decision to forgive someone, the negative bond is broken. The energy that you were expending in a negative way comes back to you in a positive manner. You can then focus on achieving your goals and desires. You will have results that will nothing short of miraculous. The other person will also benefit. This is something that should make you happy. If you have truly forgiven them, you should want only the best for them.
This is a simple but not necessarily and easy concept at first. You may have to work on a daily basis for some time before you are truly able to forgive someone. An example of a daily affirmation to accomplish this would be:
“I forgive you (or the name of the person) of all things completely and without reservation. I release you and let you go of any and all resentment. From this moment forward all things that have happened between us are completely forgotten and finished forever. I desire only the best for you and all that you care about. I wish and pray that you achieve the highest and best good that you are able to achieve. I am and you are free and from this time forward all is well between us. Peace be with you.”
This is only an example. You should use something that is personal and meaningful to you. Take this as an example and create your own daily affirmation that will touch you.

Many times people believe that forgiveness can only happen after there has been reconciliation. This is not true. The relationship does not have to be reconciled for forgiveness to occur. Forgiveness is something that you do. This does not mean the person’s actions were right. This does not mean that you have to reconcile the relationship. You actually may not want to. It does mean that you have chosen to forgive the actions and move on.
