Forgiveness Revisited

Good Morning Fairy World Inhabitors!

Today we have a card we have seen before Whom Do You Need to Forgive? The main message of this card is "As you release old anger or resentment, you will find that your wishes will come true."

As I have mentioned we have seen this card before, in the post "5 Reasons for Forgiveness". In that post we covered the reasons why we should forgive, but some things are easier said than done, so let's talk about how to forgive.

  • First, let's remember that your adversary is feeling nothing from your actions, but the resentment is building up in you so let it go!!
  • Second, take a step back and look at the big picture. There were a lot of people that were around you supporting you, regardless of the resentment you felt or the moods that it caused. Be grateful for them and their support.
  • Third, make a list of the blessings from this event. They might be things to remember in the future that you do not want to engage in or even a new facet of your personality that you were not aware of. Good things always emerge from the unpleasant and overshadow everything else if you let them.
  • Fourth, be kind to yourself. You have bottled up pain for a long time and it hurts! Even when you come to the conclusion that you had a active part in the situation, don't berate yourself for it. Just learn from it.
  • Fifth, when you come in contact with your adversary, mentally send them a blessing! It is calming and compassionate. Think to yourself "I send them blessings as they probably need it right now." At first it might be a little foreign or contrived but blessings are energy. And energy good or bad always finds it's way back to you. The more blessings you send, the more you receive!
  • Sixth and finally those feelings that you have for your adversary are valid, but at that moment they are only yours and effect only you, initially. Don't let them define that moment because you might miss out on something better!
Whew! That was a lot of deep thinking!

So I leave you with this final thought..when in doubt send blessing and sprinkle them with fairy dust!

Have a great day!
