Meditations On Forgiveness — Release Yourself 25

Through­out my life, I’ve come across sit­u­a­tions where I’ve been hurt. It hap­pens to all of us, but the impor­tant thing is to rise above the pain, and I’ve found for­give­ness to be key in achiev­ing this.

(Source)

For­give­ness is a path and a process to mend hearts and to rec­on­cile. The heal­ing energy that emerges from for­giv­ing is strong and can be felt by every part of your body.

Sud­denly you feel…

  • as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders,
  • your heart feels a lightness,
  • and your mind isn’t bogged down with resent­ment, fear, and confusion.

Per­haps your heart has been bro­ken or you’ve been wronged by a friend. Even if they’ve apol­o­gized to you and moved on you’re still stuck in the same place and time as when it all went wrong. For­give­ness is nec­es­sary for your well-being and future.

By hold­ing grudges we can­not release the neg­a­tive ener­gies that man­i­fest them­selves from the pain and hurt caused by the ini­tial wrong­do­ing.  And if you never release these ener­gies, they will be with you until you finally for­give. They will be felt by those who inter­act with you, in your daily rou­tine, and ulti­mately hurt you phys­i­cally and mentally.

For­give­ness is dif­fi­cult but if you want to be at peace, it is inevitable.

I’ve thought long and hard about for­give­ness and have come up with a report that means a lot to me. I delve deeper into the issues we face when are wronged and have come up with two med­i­ta­tions that will help you to for­give and be forgiven.

If you have expe­ri­enced pain at the hands of some­one else or have wronged some­one else, try these med­i­ta­tions and I want you to answer these ques­tions.  You can find them in the full report below.  Please share your thoughts with us by post­ing a comment.

  • Did these med­i­ta­tions help you find closure?
  • Did you for­give and for­get or did you rec­on­cile with your offender?
  • What type of energy do you expe­ri­ence when you for­give some­one or are forgiven?

Click here to down­load the full report with the 2 med­i­ta­tions included.

Bet­ter and Better,

Laura

MARINA says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Yo envie un email mucho tiempo atras donde les comentaba que tenia var­ios casets muy viejos , unos 27 anos atras que trajo mi esposo desde Mex­ico y el Libro tam­bien . Yo los he copi­ado para mi pues com­pren­deran que se han vuelto viejos de tanto escuchar­los y siguen para mi muy actu­al­iza­dos , yo me imag­ino que su hija Laura estaria muy pequena cuando el senor Silva nos dio esta grandes ense­nan­zas .
He qurido volver a tener nuevos libros pero hasta ahora no se me ha dado el dia de com­prar­los . De todas man­eras mil gra­cias pues son de una extra­or­di­naria ayuda, yo los recomiendo a toda mi familia y ami­gos . Un cor­dial saludo, MARINA

David Protic says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

This is all new to me Medi­tion yes it made my mind feel more at ease

HealingMindN says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Stew­art Swerdlow’s “The Heal­ing of the Mind” has great for­give­ness exer­cises; most of them are for visual thinkers. The one offered by Laura looks like the “altar of light.” For kines­thetic mind pat­terns, Jesus’ 7 x 70 method would work, but I’m hop­ing he was only refer­ring to Peter.

I’ve had to do all kinds of for­give­ness exer­cises: visual, audi­tory, kines­thetic. I’ve been drilling myself for years to for­give myself and the peo­ple clos­est to me. I’m still work­ing on it. You know why? I like pos­i­tive feedback.

I do prayers and med­i­ta­tions and I always ask for for­give­ness because I got pissed here and overindulged there and got lazy over here. My pos­i­tive feed­back from this is that I get more done.

I have more energy and exhuber­ance to get work done that needs to be done. There’s this voice in my head that tells me, “don’t just lament about it, go fix it.” Then I’ll say, “I don’t know how.” Then the voice says, “Well, find some­one who does.” Then I find myself at Silva Method Life.

Sylvia Schira says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Dear Laura,

Sorry about my frus­tra­tion. After I sent in the com­ment, I found the link for the full report with a cou­ple of con­sid­er­a­tions on for­give­ness for oth­ers and self. Is that what you’re refer­ring to? Because I still don’t know where the med­i­ta­tions are. Thank you.

Brian Maxfield says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

I have just read and down­loaded the topic on for­give­ness, allthough I have not done it yet, I can see the benifits, as I read of the inner stress caused by the hurt of oth­ers, and the ill­ness cre­ated by it, this is so much so, as my wife is a con­stant suf­ferer. This has so obvi­ously been caused by the hurt to her, from a close rel­a­tive. I will get her to try this and report back.

Jai says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Laura,
Thank you so much for your pro­gram. I didn’t real­ize how weighed down I had become in for­give­ness. I feel like I can breath deep again. You have a heart of gold. I can’t tell you how much I appre­ci­ate your free pro­gram. I will be pur­chas­ing the full pro­gram as soon as I am able.

Bless you

Geoffrey says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Long embed­ded unre­solved guilt has taken every­thing from me. My tal­ents have evap­o­rated, and my health has suf­fered. Hav­ing once sus­tained a mul­ti­tude of peo­ple with my art­work and music, loos­ing these abil­i­ties is more painful that can be imag­ined. I am ren­dered unable to cre­ate, and now I know that was my pur­pose here. Dur­ing my fruit­ful years I gave freely every­thing I cre­ated, and now it has been taken away, all of it. Some­how I must find a way back to the life I was intended to lead, the one I led for all those years before the dreams died. Guided imagery sus­tains me, but ssti­nence by itself is only the raw mate­r­ial. At 60 I feel I am run­ning out of time, after 40 years of rais­ing a fam­ily my real pur­pose still becons, hov­er­ing about my spirit but the ener­gies seem exhausted.
I am hear­ing your Father’s voice and feel­ing his wis­dom again after a life­time of pushimg in the wrong direc­tion.
Thank you for allow­ing this to be avail­able to me, it may have saved my life, and I pray it might restore me to where I belong.
Geofrey Thomas Ayers.

David Cansler says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks so much for this info on FORGIVNESS.…It could not of come at a bet­ter time. Recently a friend lied about me, to police which resulted in my arrest. He later admit­ted in an email to me that he had lied. After for­giv­ing him, i feel so much lighted. Thanks again for this information,.

Victoria says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Laura, I’m so glad you chose to focus on this sub­ject. I feel it’s a major obsta­cle in alot of our lives, includ­ing my own. Real­iz­ing that we have a need to for­give is hard enough to begin with, let alone let­ting go of the stub­bor­ness to even want to forgive…myself or some­one else. Eas­ily the path is, “I’m so angry at so and so and he/she doesn’t “deserve” my for­give­ness” the deceit in this is that I have come to know, is I’m truly only hurt­ing myself! Step two, as I have found, is also very hard, and that is, ok, now how do I for­give??? Tru­ely for­give, from the bot­tom of my heart? I look for­ward to try­ing your med­i­ta­tions and hope it helps. Thank you for all your help and posts.

Marcia Wiechers says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

My liver feels lighter after the for­give­ness med­i­ta­tion. My migraine headache is improv­ing since I am clean­ing my liver with forgiveness.

Justin Thompson says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Hey Guys!!!

Thank You & Bless You with Immea­sur­able Bliss, Love & Abundance!

Thank you for all your e-mails & look for­ward to many more.

Peace & Joy.

Justin Thompson says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

I wish I could down­load or even bring up the valu­able infor­ma­tion but as I am cur­rently access­ing my e-mails via the local library, the sys­tem wont allow this. Here’s hopin’.

Peace.

G.M. Krishnamurthy says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

The guilt feel­ing from the past mis­deeds has indeed the capac­ity to make you feel mis­er­able and the only way to get your­selves rid of this feel­ing is by con­sciously think­ing about it and seek­ing for­give­ness. I have done it myself and feel the relief. Med­i­ta­tion by itself gives you the feel of com­pas­sion, love and affec­tion and con­scious med­i­ta­tion specif­i­cally seek­ing for­give­ness will def­i­nitely help. Many thanks for Laura for bring­ing this up at this time as there is tremen­dous amount of hatred and ill-will being delib­er­ately preached by cer­tain ill-intentioned and dis­rup­tive ele­ments with lots of youth falling prey to such teach­ings. May our souls be enlight­ened to have a pleas­ant, happy and healthy live get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter each pass­ing day.

J.M. says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

How in Heav­ens name can any­one find for­give­ness when someone,a friend and a sis­ter takes you for a ride and takes approx 150,000.00 of yours when your a Divorced dad rais­ing 2 kids on your own and try­ing to work full time and with no money to feed your kids prop­erly and they, the friend and sis­ter don’t give a damn and have yet to repay this debt that is long over due and now your kids hate the ground you walk on for not being able to give them the proper home life and the neces­si­ties of life.
Give me a break, and yes I was able to pull through it some 20 years later but the hurt is still there and will be for some time to come/No Hatred but just Hurt.

Stephen Loftin says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

For­give­ness has the poten­tial in our lives to be a totally awak­en­ing process. #1 For­give­ness is about for­giv­ing one­self
and truly has noth­ing to do with any­thing out­side. That pain
and resent­ment we hold is merely the judge­ment we have, the
’right and wrong’of our own mind and being. Self-forgiveness
sets us free of the bondage we deem from seem­ingly another per­son or entity out­side and in fact is point­ing to
some­thing we hold onto within. In truth, there is no-thing
outside.…it is all within!

hamida saida says 10 months, 1 week ago

Dr.Muthupalaniyappan says 10 months, 1 week ago

I do not see the way to down­load the 2 med­i­ta­tions for for­give­ness — I can only read the arti­cle on for­give­ness — NOT the 2 MEDITATIONS .
I have not noticed any ben­e­fi­cial chnages after going through all the mod­ules ‚med­i­ta­tions etc. In fact I find that a lot of more prob­lems are crop­ping up from time to time .
I have not seen any improve­ment in my son’s UV light secu­rity project which he has been research­ing the past 4 yaers — Finan­cial Grants & loans promised by the Malysian Gov­ern­ment have not been suc­cess­ful . In fact my advance of RM 400,000 over the years towards his R & D look like being wasted .
Our fam­ily prop­erty of 44 Acres in Malaysia can­not be devel­oped or sold due to the pres­ence of the Gov­ern­ment Army Ammu­ni­tion Depot near by ( for the apst 15 years ) Other prop­er­ties nearer to the ammu­ni­tion depot have been devel­oped earlier .

I have a Libel suit against me and 5 other Lion Club mem­bers by another junior Lion mem­ber and it has been going on for the past 13 years with changes of 5 Judges ( by Trans­fer process ) and only my tes­ti­mony being heard all this while — there seems to be no end although we are NOT in the wrong . The next hear­ing is on 10th May 2009 . How can I over­come the odds , as the Plaintiff’s lawyer is try­ing to fix us up by ask­ing absurd ques­tions and MISLEADING THE JUDGE– The Plain­tiff is pri­mar­ily & clearly at fault for Get­ting the club SUSPENDED and then DE-REGISTERED by his NEGLIGENCE .
I have been using the Silva cen­ter­ing exer­cise and Daisy­pond med­i­ta­tion sev­eral times a day since sub­scrib­ing to the course — I do Not see any result .
Please advise . Thanks . Dr.Y.Muthupalaniyappan

p.s Look­ing at the feed back by oth­ers , I wish I could also give pos­i­tive feed­back of its ben­e­fits . My most press­ing prob­lems are 1. The land sale — to get autho­ri­sa­tion from the Malaysian Gov­ern­ment and Army Depot to develop the alnd , 2. My Lions Club High Court case , 3. My son’s INNOVATIVE SECURITY PROJECT .

Suzi says 10 months, 1 week ago

For­give­ness i think is a pretty big thing. If for­get means to ‘not get’ then per­haps for­give means to ‘not give’? Such an easy thing to do. Per­haps when we for­get to for­give we just have to go back and fix it some­how by ‘giv­ing for them’. Its not up to that per­son to be ok with my miss-givings and i hope they can for­give me right back. But if that isn’t pos­si­ble for them right now then i hope in the future we may come to a heal­ing place together.

Life is too much fun to miss any­thing. ‘Giv­ing for them’ may not always be an easy thing to do but i know what its like when some­one ‘gives for me’ and it would be nice to offer that to oth­ers when ever i think of it. Gosh! I haven’t even read the post yet. Please for­give me… i’ll get to and read it now.

Cheers to all… Suzi

Suzi says 10 months, 1 week ago

The med­i­ta­tions aren’t there but the exer­cise left for us to achieve, is a won­der­ful idea.

Glenda says 10 months, 1 week ago

I read the full report on For­give­ness but did not find the 2 med­i­ta­tions tht was sup­pose to be with it

Shirley says 10 months, 1 week ago

I tried to post a com­ment but it seems to have gone to the ethe­real world for the angels to decipher.I am hav­ing a bit of a prob­lem with my con­cen­tra­tion because I work on a sub acute unit in a facil­ity and I work straight night shift. I would like to change this but I don’t know what to do. I need the money. It is not an extremely high pay­ing job but it does pay the bills. I am study­ing Silva Peaks at the moment and am man­ag­ing a lit­tle at a time because of my work sched­ule, I would like to study full time but finances do not allow this. My goal is to be able to do what Iso­bel does, I think it is called Med­ical Empath. I know this is my true life call­ing so I know it will hap­pen, I just wish it would be a lit­tle eas­ier. I am 62 years old and have diploma’s as a Nat­ural Health Prac­tioner and Relax­ation Ther­a­pist. I also am a Hur­ley Osborn Prac­tioner and am Level 2 Reiki Prac­tioner look­ing to get my Mas­ters. My fond­est desire is to become a Med­ical Empath with the power to see inside the human body and heal peo­ple. I was one of the very for­tu­nate ones that recieved a ticket to your class in Austin in August. I am so look­ing for­ward to learn­ing all I pos­si­bly can in those classes and am hop­ing to return home with my deep­est desire begin­ning to be full­filled, or better!!

Hola,
sil­via que pena que no tengo el estu­dio para evi­tar estres, nos­tros vivi­mos en Huos­ton Tx y andava­mos de vaca­ciones es Rosar­ito Baja Cal­i­for­nia Mex­ico, y al segundo dia de vaca­ciones le dio a mi esposo un ataque al cora­zon por tanto estres que a tenido, todavia esta en peli­gro el savado mismo dia que tivo el ataque al cora­zon, le tuvieron que abrir una arte­ria, y el lunes le van a tener que destapar otras espero y con­fio en Dios que todo salga bien, como me gus­taria apre­hen­der a saber como quitarme el estres y poder allu­dar a mi esposo, pero el no le gusta la med­ita­cion, los cris­tianos no estan de acuerdo no se porque, pero yo pienso deifer­ente soy de mente mas abierta; talves algun dia tengo dinero para com­prar el sis­tema para saver como quitarme el estres, ya que hay veses que siento que yo tam­bien voy a tener un infarto. Atten­ta­mente me despido gra­cias por leer mi carta Alma

nat says 3 months, 2 weeks ago

great site!however, can’t find med­i­ta­tions on for­give­ness. Am i miss­ing some­thing? thanks so much for all your sup­port and spir­i­tual heal­ing. Nat.

Marie Jacquelyne Clement says 1 month ago

I was taught from an early age that for­give­ness was essen­tial if we wanted to live a long and healthy life. When some­one does any­thing to me, I for­give and so much so that I for­get after awhile com­pletely what a per­son has done, to the point if I meet them I will greet them with a hearty hello to their sur­prise!
I had for­got­ten all that was done to me by them. My daughter-in-law Monique, said that she wished she had my qual­ity of for­give­ness, she never saw ever any­one like me to for­get even the worse thing any­one would do to me.
My x-husband, aban­doned us when I was 21 with 3 kids, yet last year, when he entered into the hos­pi­tal I went to his side, I treated him with ther­a­peu­tic touch and was able to find the prob­lem as the doc­tors said he didn’t have much of a chance to live as they didn’t know what was wrong. I told them. They explored with a cam­era and sure enough I was right. I went once a week to treat him, care for him.
Did he appre­ci­ate all I did? Not at all, when he was well and out of the hos­pi­tal, now liv­ing with my son, I was going to visit and he told my daughter-in-law that he was going to spend his time in the room when I came!
That is the grat­i­tude I had for sav­ing his life!
Do I hold bit­ter­ness, not at all, actu­ally, I feel sorry for him as he will not live to be very old.
I just had some­thing hap­pen again, my min­is­ter betrayed my con­fe­den­tal­ity yes­ter­day and I was very shocked trust me to find that out! I was ter­ri­bly hurt! I will not go back to my church as long as he is there!
But, I do not hold a grudge, today I asked God to for­give those who tres­pass against us and I for­gave him. But I do not need to asso­ciate with him.
I know that he is mis­er­able right now and he is pay­ing the price for his betrayal of my trust. Not that it was a huge confidence..I met with him for dis­cussing about bap­tisim and con­fided that I had to go to get free food for the poor because my grand­son left and I had to pay the rent on my own and I was hav­ing a dif­fi­cult time.
Well to make a story short, his wife called me as I had sent a e-mail about a nat­ural prod­uct that may help her. She explained exactly what she had and had tried it. Then she said, My hus­band said you had 6 cats. I said I have 8 as I just saved two more..I save cats, care for them and find homes for them and keep 6 which are neutered.“
She knocked me off my feet when she said, “So if you have 8 cats, that is expen­sive to feed, so how can you afford to feed the cats when you can’t feed yourself!”

I was com­pletely shocked to real­ize that he had told his wife about our con­ver­sa­tion which was sup­posed to be confidential..well I thought it was.

That was it! I’ve had it! He had betrayed me again! So, I wrote back say­ing I had it with that church and if I couldn’t trust my Min­is­ter then I will not go back.

I for­give him again. But the hurt is there, but for­give­ness takes the pain away and will be a time I will com­pletely for­get. That is what for­give­ness does, you com­pletely for­get what a per­son did to you..of course it comes back if some­thing should trig­ger it but you don’t feel anything.

For­giv­ing is very impor­tant for the health of your mind, your body and if you want to be for­given by God, you must for­give your enemy so to speak.

I love the heal­ing I am lis­ten­ing to and doing since 4 days and as soon as I can afford it..you bet I will order the Silva Pro­gram. Thank you for your generosity..it will come back to you three-fold.
