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.

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?

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

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.

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,.

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

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.

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.

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.
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!

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 .
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
The meditations aren’t there but the exercise left for us to achieve, is a wonderful idea.
I read the full report on Forgiveness but did not find the 2 meditations tht was suppose to be with it
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!!

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