Forgiveness (part one)

FORGIVENESS

Part 1
This follows up on the article on ‘Karma’ from last week

Inner Peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misconceptions.”
~ Gerald (Jerry) G. Jampolsky, Love Is Letting Go of Fear

Forgiveness is the literal act of “letting go or releasing.”  What we hold on to, in our conscious and in our subconscious mind,   creates and attracts people and circumstances to us that create our reality.
For example, you may have a belief running in your subconscious that believes that you not safe. It may be from an early childhood trauma, or a genetic belief passed down from a parent, grandparent, or even brought with us from another place or time.   It is essential for us to communicate with our subconscious mind to find out what beliefs may be there – creating our lives for us against our conscious choice and desires.
Do you have old anger and resentment that you have not properly forgiven and released?  Is it showing up in your current relationships?  Holding onto anger literally blocks you from letting Love and happiness into your life experience. Anytime you refuse to forgive and hold onto anger you block yourselves from letting love into your heart.  The only person that is affected is you.
When you hold on to fear, anger, sadness, or worry subconsciously, your subconscious mind continually working overtime to keep you safe. This means that you have greater difficulty creating your ideal life and you will feel an underlying sense of unhappiness regardless of what you do.
The subconscious mind is infinitely more powerful than your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is the seat of your willpower and logic. When the subconscious mind is projecting beliefs of fear, doubt, anger, frustration, and sadness, it is literally inviting the Universe to engage you in scenarios that which will bring up these emotions as a means for you to resolve them.

A Clearing Meditation to help you
Ana Pana Breath Mindfulness
Your breath is connected to your emotions.  By passively observing your breathing you allow yourself to clear emotions. This meditation can be done while seated or while engaged in activities – walking, driving etc
What is my Breathing doing?
–    Is it fast or slow
–    Is it deep or shallow
–    Is it coming in through my right nostril, left one, both, more through one than the other
–    How does it feel as I breathe in?
–    How does it feel as I breathe out?
If your mind wanders bring it back to your breathing
Repeat until your breathing feels peaceful.

Forgiveness Part 2 – Next Week

Recipe:

Golden Milk from a base

1/2 cup organic Turmeric powder
1 cup water (more if needed)
1 tsp ground black pepper (piperine from the black pepper helps absorption of turmeric)
Pinch of organic ginger powder (optional)
¼ cup Organic coconut oil or ghee (fats enhance absorption of turmeric in the body)

Directions
1. At very low heat lightly toast the Turmeric powder (20-30 seconds) till aromatic.
2. Add water and cook on low heat gently till it forms a thick paste (6-9 minutes). If it is too thick add water, too thin add more turmeric. Add black pepper (and ginger) and oil/ghee and stir to ensure all ingredients are mixed in.
Cool it down and store in a glass jar.  Refrigerated, it is good for a couple of weeks.
Have ¼ to ½ tsp in warm milk of any kind daily.

Warning: Turmeric has a lot of benefits. However turmeric and ginger are both blood thinners.  If you are on blood thinners you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.  Also if you have to undergo dental work or surgery you may have to cut it out for a few days prior.
