soul healing: moving the blocks

Published Sep. 8, 2008

With the advent of a new wave of thought concerning the association between mind and soul, a new place of prominence has been given to the word "forgiveness".

Our whole life, we have been conditioned to believe that by forgiving a painful action we are forfeiting our right to receive human or cosmic justice.

Nothing is further than the truth. Real forgiveness does not imply that we let the insensitive acts of others off the hook; it simply means that we no longer allow them to run our life.

In the greater scheme of things, we are our own worst enemy, and the first step toward forgiveness must be directed within ourselves.

Only by embracing the relief that comes with forgiving ourselves for our flaws, mistakes and shortcomings, we will ever truly be able to start the wonderful journey toward successful inner healing.

Thank you for a very enlightened blog sandra. I appreciate the uplifting spirit and the blessing that is conveyed in your words.

I agree with you Sandra. Harboring bitterness, and the results thereof, are harmful to an individual, even physically. The belief in Christ is not a magic pill to forgive others. Rather, it makes you a three-fold being, body, soul, and spirit, and makes you righteous before God. To forgive others still requires a conscious decision to do so, and benefits all, including yourself. Good blog.

What an awesome blog, Sandra. It is,also, so true. I truly know this "first hand", as I've been there.

I agree with DukeBlueforlyfe's comment, as well.

Well said Sandra, as usual.

Nice blog! True forgiveness can be difficult. Too many say they forgive, but hang onto the hate inside. If they can truely forgive, then they can move on in peace.

speak for yourself Mrkagain.....:)

well... blessed are the peacemakers..... just trying to be a soothing influence..... just in case....... duke, you know you and I both can flare up if we're not careful....... hee hee.

Hugs to all.

I totally understand, Duke, and believe me, I am a firm fan of the Cross, and of the teachings of Jesus.

mrkagain, I would hardly call this an arguement. :)

Sandra, I agree. I also agree this is a great blog. IMHO, blogs such as this one looks and sounds great to an unbeliever. As a believer, one is always going to point to the cross in this area.Blessings, Karen
