Lets hope we find a forgiveness club , like the laughter club, where we can learn and master the art of forgiveness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599677601063191154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-33302468302645364332013-11-17T21:27:31.167-08:002013-11-17T21:27:31.167-08:00Here are two of the techniques I teach my clients....Here are two of the techniques I teach my clients. I am confident if practiced regularly, you will benefit greatly. Some clients report results within a week.<br /> <br />1: White Light Healing and Protection – Sit on a chair with your back straight, feet firmly on the ground and palms on your thighs facing upwards. Make sure you will not be disturbed for 5-10 minutes. You can play some soft, instrumental music to relax you. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold it for 2 seconds, and exhale through your mouth. Do this a few times until you feel your body becoming heavier. Now visualize a big ball of shimmering white light right above your head. See the light from it come down through your head and into your body. Let the light reach your solar plexus (the area 4-5 inches above your navel). Visualize the light and let it remain there for as long as possible. Then slowly expand that light and see it becoming bigger. Let it expand few inches out of your body so that you are now surrounded by that light as if in a bubble. Stay here as long as you can. Affirm: “I am safe and secure and only positive energy gets in to this bubble”. <br />This technique, if done regularly, will cleanse your body and aura of negative energies making you feel lighter and calmer. But remember, we encounter different kinds of people and their energies every day. Energy is even emitted from TV and the kind of shows/news we watch. So just like you brush your teeth and bathe every day, your energy needs cleaning and protection every day too. I recommend this technique twice a day. Once when you wake up and again before you sleep. <br /><br />2: Gratitude List – Every night before you sleep, write down 5 things you were grateful for that particular day. It could be as small as finding a good parking spot. Find something new every day. Soon you will develop an Attitude of Gratitude and this will make you actually look for things to be grateful for. This goes a long way in helping you see things in a different light which in turn helps you release negativity. <br />I work with clients helping them unblock their energies and create a better life for themselves. I believe that happier lives are a result of happier mind sets. In order to Progress Outward, one has to Journey Inward.<br />Warm regards,<br />Perrin Abbas – Holistic Healing Coach<br />Journey Inward, Progress Outward<br />MIND MINTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342208971708096058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-81368136995048540482013-11-17T21:26:05.977-08:002013-11-17T21:26:05.977-08:00Well done Sarah!
It takes strength and courage to ...Well done Sarah!<br />It takes strength and courage to go within to look for answers and then work on our own growth. Because that is why we are here. To learn, to evolve and in the process, help others on their journey too. It was inspiring to read about your experience.<br /><br />Today, even people of science are buying into the whole mind-body connection. Many cases, similar to yours, have been responsible for such development in the area of functional wellness.<br />I applaud you for sharing your experience with us in the hope that it will give us that nudge towards creating better lives for ourselves too.<br /><br />Being able to forgive those that have wronged us is crucial to releasing unwanted baggage. I read here about someone saying they are able to forgive but cannot forget.<br />This is my perspective on it.<br />When you forgive, you don’t necessarily need to forget what was done. That lesson has come for a reason and if you have to erase it, well, what use was it? So it is ok if you cannot forget, don’t force yourself to. But if the memory of what happened brings any sort of pain or other negative emotion, then you have not forgiven and have some more work to be done in that area.<br /><br />Sometimes we rush to forgive even before we have dealt with the anger that we are feeling. We feel forced because of the perceived pressure on us around this whole concept of ‘forgiveness’ and how it is important for our well-being, etc.<br />Here is where techniques mentioned in this blog and many others will help us release the emotional blocks which settle in to our physical bodies as pain and diseases.<br /><br />I also agree with Ms. Sophie’s comment about sending love, prayer, etc to the person that has done wrong by you. Our lessons come through people and we need to develop a sense of gratitude for that as they help us become the person we are meant to be.<br />Can you imagine a life without any pain, problems or learnings?<br />A boring, straight flat road to nowhere.<br />While being grateful to someone that has really hurt us is easier said than done, all it requires is the first baby step. The willingness to heal and let go. One step at a time, one day at a time.<br />Gratitude releases us from the clutches of our self-inflicted misery.<br /><br />Prayer has immense power. Use it. And just like bathing, pray every day.<br /><br />Cord cutting is effective, no doubt. Do it as often as you have negative emotion connected to the person the cord is being cut from.<br /><br />I find the white light healing and protection technique to be equally beneficial.<br /><br />Thanks once again Sarah, for being brave enough to share your deeper experiences.<br />Perrin Abbas MIND MINTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342208971708096058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-3510475929115421042013-11-11T07:17:32.065-08:002013-11-11T07:17:32.065-08:00Forgive and forget is easier said than done. We ma...Forgive and forget is easier said than done. We may verbally repeat aloud and internally that we have forgiven the person who hurt us and the term ' cutting the cord' and moving along with our life, may be easy for some, but definitely not for every one. I would say it would be better to revisit our feelings of anger, hurt or resentment and whip them up a little bit so that we become aware of how it affects our body parts. Some people feel a wrenching feeling in their solar plexis, i.e. their stomach area, some people feel it in their chest ( tightening feeling), some may feel it in their throat<br />(dryness), some may feel their ears tingling. Just be aware of what ever is happening at the physical level and acknowledge it. Observe it with detachment and curiosity like a scientist. You will be pleasantly surprised after a while, that it passes away. Accepting and acknowledging it is a better way to deal with it than resisting it and not wanting it and suppressing it.<br />Once you are through with this exercise, go a step further, and send love to this person. Wish him the very best in life, wish his family well,wish him health and prosperity. If you have that persons's picture, look at it and say, I love you, I thank you and You came into my life with the express purpose of making me evolve into a better person. Say thank you from the bottom of your heart. Do this three times a day, just the way we take medicines 3 times a day, with regularity. I know, I know, it sounds like a tall order, but trust me it works! It did for me!sophienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-85804241015417522042013-11-07T07:19:47.909-08:002013-11-07T07:19:47.909-08:00thankx for ur story sarah.....i too believe in for...thankx for ur story sarah.....i too believe in forgiving ppl and i do forgive them also....but what i cant do is forget what the did with me....i do take it as a lesson learnt....but it causes a lots of pain within me....it hurts always....i always keep telling myself forgiving is forgetting.....but for me why does forgiving not mean forgetting also.....why cant i cut the cords like u have done....why does it all come back to me....why cant i free myself of the pain when i have already forgiving and normalized my behavior with tat person....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-43220396423177032822013-11-07T07:13:09.655-08:002013-11-07T07:13:09.655-08:00Thankx sarah for ur story....i too believe in forg...Thankx sarah for ur story....i too believe in forgiving ppl...but somehow i fail to forget wht they did with me....and i take it like a lesson maybe...maybe i say as sometimes i ask myself isnt forgiving mean forgetting???? but than tat pain is always there it keeps hurting me always..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-63664064546865852922013-11-03T20:11:59.547-08:002013-11-03T20:11:59.547-08:00To reply to your query the only thing to be done ...To reply to your query the only thing to be done is to keep forgiving the person concerned. <br />If the person causing the hurt is a friend or colleague you can cut back on your contact with that person. But what do you do if it is your spouse, parent, child or close relative. <br />You have to realize that there is a reason this person is in your life. Nothing occurs accidently or as a coincidence. As Robin Sharma says your life is a custom made learning lesson for you so that you may grow and evolve to be the best that you can. If you are having an experience in this moment then whether you like it or not it is exactly what you need to have to grow and evolve. If you learn your lesson you move on if not similar instances will repeat themselves and get more and more painful till you realize what it is that you have to learn. <br /><br />This person is only an instrument through whom you are experiencing this hurt. The person ofcourse always has the choice to choose to be that instrument. Like we say -for every good that happens to you -it was always intended for you and the person doing it is just an instrument,<br /><br /> Because for every good deed done you are blessed with sawab and negative deeds are gunah. We have been continuously hearing in Vaaz about ' kisasaat na umoor' . Which means every person carries a baggage with him, which does not mean, you have to be harsh on your self, you have to accept the fact, first love yourself to be human, become stoic and face the challenges of life head on. <br /><br />Know this much, if that person chooses not to hurt you that hurt will find its way in some other form. Cause as you sow so you reap. This is a Universal Truth and there is no means of escaping from it. Acceptance is the right choice. <br /><br /> If you hold resentment and anger against this person and mentally criticize him/her you bind a negative energy which grows inside you, the ego likes it that way, it finds it's nourishment in it.<br /><br />Instead if you forgive and forget and consider is to be a means through which you are cleansing yourself of the past baggage, forgiving the person , thinking it as <br />'tamhees ' ( cleansing ) manji nakhvoo in ordinary terms, you will be in control of your life, and not the person who is hurting you. <br /><br />You are the winner in this game of life. You have defeated the one who is trying to control you. Imam Hussain's shadaat is a glowing example. On the day of Ashura it apparently appears that Yezid ( la) had won, but was it so. No never. The one who was out to cause immense harm and hurt, was the one who was defeated. <br /><br /> Also our thoughts create a vibration which attract similar vibrations so if you stop sending negative vibes eventually that person will also stop reacting to them in a negative way. <br /><br />Just give it a try and witness the power of FORGIVNESS. <br /><br /><br /> An onion has several layers on it consider every hurt to be the opening up of a layer. This mindset will make it easier to face up to a lot of difficult life situations. This will help you focus on a solution rather than on the person or the situation that is the cause of the hurt. <br /><br />And when you take complete responsibility for what happens to you or accept it as the will of God who is doing it to bring out the best in you, then you are no longer dependant on somebody else to stop feeling that hurt.<br /><br />Also as Eckhart Tolle says the soul is always peaceful. It is the ego that feels the hurt. What is it that your ego wants from this person- Love, appreciation, acceptance. <br /><br />If we let go of all our expectations we will be free from hurt. Do whatever it is that you have to do without any ulterior motive or expectation. As they say- Neki kar dariya mein daal.<br /><br />Your life is an echo of your thoughts and wishes for others. So think good and do good.<br />As they say your thoughts become your words- words becom actions- actions become your character and your character becomes your destiny.<br /><br />( Bhen Sarah's reply thru e mail.

I totally agree with you. I myself am currently in training in ayangear yoga teaching. Having suffered childhood trauma myself I too became quite ill. When I practice yoga I do all my forgiving on the mat. It's amazing just how much healing happens just through breath. However as I am quite a pious kind of person I also do a lot of crying and asking for my own forgiveness in sujjud. I feel as a born mumenat I am lucky to have this extra strength and knowledge through our beloved rightful spiritual leaders. We mumineen really are something else.

( not the actual words, but as it is important, I thought it fit to share. ) <br />The comment was as follows : <br /><br />One of my friend is suffering of very severe disease and it is as a result of many hurts that he has suffered. He should forgive all those who have hurt him.<br /><br />My comment is : Yes indeed that will greatly help, forgiving all, recalling all the hurt and cutting the cord, as suggested by Bhen Sarah. <br /><br />But one more important thing is that he should also forgive himself. No human being is perfect, every one carries a baggage, so he should first forgive himself, love himself.MIND MINTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342208971708096058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-82827118591645199052013-10-30T02:05:43.109-07:002013-10-30T02:05:43.109-07:00thanks for such encouraging msg it will surely sho...thanks for such encouraging msg it will surely show way of peace to manyDurriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312577357578027018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-74964293030869811312013-10-30T02:02:24.785-07:002013-10-30T02:02:24.785-07:00a very encouraging message sometimes we do feel th...a very encouraging message sometimes we do feel that our heart is over burdened but reading ur article will surely helpDurriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312577357578027018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-48683132959450194532013-10-30T00:26:33.938-07:002013-10-30T00:26:33.938-07:00Excellent post and Thank you very much.

Sometimes, our hidden traumas are burried under layers and layers of conditioning, and our conscious logical mind does not have the faintest notion of what is brewing underneath until it jolts us with a physical manifestation of a disease. Non- forgiving hurts us far more than the hurt inflicted on us by another. The release we feel when we forgive has a more far- reaching impact than all the medicines of the world.<br />I think all of this is life's way of teaching all the big big lessons which are never taught in schools and colleges.<br />I congratulate Sarah for her courage in sharing her story.<br />The bad things that happen to us in the course of life are actually blessings in disguise, and perhaps they are our destiny so that we may evolve into better human beings.<br />Sophie<br />sophienoreply@blogger.com
