The Great Power Of Forgiveness

A very big aloha.

My name is Reverend Cindy Palos and I've been doing some very deep work with myself and with you as I go through the subjects that are,

I think,

Very important and they've come up for me a lot because I've been doing my autobiography.

So I've been able to observe how the mind looks at your life and the way you perceive things.

And the latest subject,

Which I'm going to be doing a chapter on,

Was a subject that I kind of had forgotten.

I'd finished a book and I'd done my life and then I realized I left a whole part of my life out and I wondered why did I just forget that chapter?

And I found out because I hadn't come to terms with it in my own life.

So it's kind of the deeper parts that we sometimes forget about because we don't want to deal with.

So I'm sure you must have experienced some times where you look back at your life and you go,

Wow,

I didn't see that one coming or I kind of got fooled on that one,

Right?

And always at the core of that is having to be able to forgive situations that occurred at that time.

Because almost always when you get into a situation that's deep,

Painful,

And you're disappointed deeply in someone,

There is forgiveness involved.

And there's the rub right there.

There's the coming to terms with the fact that you have to forgive the person who took advantage of you or deceived you or hurt you in some way,

Right?

And it's so we know that,

Okay?

We know this is such a talked about subject and so important.

We know how important forgiveness is.

I know this.

I've written what?

I don't know,

A book or two and two albums on forgiveness.

One even got a Peace Award.

And so I know this,

But still,

Isn't it interesting?

Isn't it fascinating that even though I know this,

There's more to forgive.

There's more and there's more to forgive.

So I don't think you can just say,

Okay,

It's forgiveness and it's done.

Because it goes very deep and there's many layers,

Right?

The peeling away of what happens in your life is very interesting.

So I'm,

You know,

Being older than you probably,

I have a lot of stuff I'm still forgiving.

And this was an interesting chapter,

Which I'm going to do in my book,

A chapter of my life that made me stop and ponder about it.

And how do I come to terms and forgive it all?

Now,

There's a couple of things that we know about,

Of course,

We know there's karma.

So,

You know,

That's an easy way to say,

Okay,

Well,

Karma is going to get that person.

I was just talking to someone the other day who had been ripped off for quite a bit of money in a scam,

You know.

And she'd lost,

I don't know,

A few thousand dollars because she was told she could have this land down in South America.

And she went down there and she gave the money.

And of course,

It wasn't,

The guy didn't even own the land.

It was like,

Wow.

But she did forgive the person,

You know,

Going,

Well,

You have to forgive,

Right?

So you do have to forgive.

I went through my situation this morning.

I was just,

I was reviewing it in my mind.

And I was thinking about,

Well,

Part of the problem was that I was angry at myself for falling for the person's,

Whatever it was,

The scam,

Right?

So that can be part of it,

Is being angry at yourself and then having to forgive yourself as well.

Because something in you,

Whether it was karma or past life karma,

Or it was something inside you that interacted in this way,

That got involved in that situation.

So it always comes back to you.

And yes,

There is karma.

And whatever happens,

Happens.

We can't control karma.

Karma takes its own path and its own course.

We know that.

But we do know we can straighten things out in ourselves.

And it's not necessarily an easy thing to do.

That's why you have to dive deep into that well of forgiveness,

You know.

And it's such an important thing to do and to clear in your life.

So I really encourage you to take that deep dive and to maybe look at something and discover something inside yourself that you might have to go back and forgive.

Something that might be pretty deep because,

You know,

On this path,

If you've been on it for a while,

There's a lot of lessons we learn.

And I believe that's partly why we came to this life,

Is to learn lessons,

Right?

So we learn lessons.

And the lessons can be sometimes hard.

And the hard lessons can be the most important lessons.

So as we learn to forgive,

We learn partly what we came here for,

To learn that important lesson of what we can grow from and how we can forgive mistakes we made in falling for,

In some cases,

A trap or the way certain people take advantage of other people.

And it happens in life,

Especially if you're an empath,

As I am.

You can get deeply,

Deeply hurt and taken advantage of.

So,

But that always comes back to you,

Right?

That always comes back to you.

So we're going to take a few moments together here and just allow ourselves that precious gift of forgiveness to be present.

And as always,

We just allow ourselves to take a moment to just relax and to let your spine be erected.

Allow that energy to flow,

Flow,

Flow,

Flow.

And as you do allow the energy to flow,

You might find some places in your body that you have to open up and allow the energy to flow through.

It might be your spine,

Might be in your hands,

Your arms,

Your legs,

Your feet.

So we'll take a few moments here to go over the body and allow it to be open and receiving the energy that we send it as we think of our precious feet and how important our feet are.

Gosh,

Our feet.

I love your feet.

You've been so good about getting me around.

Oh,

All the years I wore those shoes.

Oh,

Those shoes.

Oh my gosh.

Thank you for always supporting me through all of that.

Thank you,

Feet and my calves and my legs,

My knees.

Oh my gosh,

My knees.

Thank you,

Knees.

Ah,

And still there.

Yeah,

The originals are still there.

And on up through the body.

Oh,

Yeah.

Thighs and to the base of the spine.

And allow the energy of the base of the spine,

The root chakra,

That ruby red energy to come and radiate through that energy there.

Just allow that lovely radiating red light to shine forth and allow that deep,

Deep part of that energy to just allow it to be totally open and clear.

And moving up to that lovely orange.

It's kind of like a beautiful radiant color that can go through so many levels that it is there in the second chakra.

Gosh,

So much to deal with in that second chakra,

Right?

And as we think of our body there,

Oh my gosh,

Our stomach and all the organs that work so hard for us in our stomach and our liver and our kidneys.

So,

So much there needs gratitude.

Moving on up into the third chakra.

And allow the third chakra to be completely open so that the energy can flow clearly through that third chakra into the heart of hearts.

Ah,

The lovely heart center.

That beautiful heart that has taken so much in your life.

That love that's been given.

The love that's been taken.

The love within the love of all loves that is present there in that sacred heart center.

Ah,

Let's just see the sacred heart center.

Let's take a moment and just allow the precious energy of the heart center to radiate forth throughout the entire being.

Allowing it to shine forth in your heart around your entire body.

Ah,

With a precious radiant light.

A golden white light.

Ah,

And send that heart love as you send love out from your heart.

And send your heart the deep forgiveness that you need to send your heart for the pain it's gone through sometimes.

But allow your heart to feel forgiveness.

Allow your heart to feel the energy.

Just for a moment go deep within that center.

Go deeper within that center.

And follow that heart center to some place that has experienced some heart break.

Maybe disappointment.

Maybe pain.

Maybe anger.

And let the heart guide you.

Let the heart be the one to do the work to be healed with forgiveness.

Forgiving yourself.

Forgiving yourself for allowing anything that may have come that hurt you.

And allow that forgiveness to expand and be healed.

Be healed.

Totally healed with love.

The love that heals.

The love that understands.

The love that can be sent out because it's so great.

A healer to whatever caused.

Whatever person or event that caused heart break.

Forgiveness is a wonderful gift.

Allow that gift to work through you.

To heal you from that situation.

And know with faith that time that it takes to go through that process.

Whatever thoughts,

Whatever reoccurrences that you might see come up.

Allow yourself to be totally,

Totally forgiven.

As God would forgive you.

And be thankful.

Be thankful to yourself and to God for this forgiveness.

This power of healing that comes with forgiveness.

And breathe that forgiveness deeply into your entire being.

And your body might just feel a little expanded.

And your mind might feel a little more open.

And you might find peace.

A deep peace as you let go of any pain that you've brought upon yourself.

That others have caused because you were bringing yourself into that situation.

And that goes deep.

This forgiveness is a deep,

Deep,

Deep well.

A beautiful well.

You can float in now and just feel healed.

Feel totally healed.

And just be at peace.

Ah,

Doesn't that feel good?

Be grateful.

Oh,

So grateful for this great gift of healing.

And slowly,

Ever so slowly,

Come on back.

Come back to your total conscious awareness.

And allow that thread of light and energy to come totally to wherever you dwell in your everyday life.

And your mind being aware that you did this job of forgiveness.

And you're grateful for that power within you that helped you to forgive.

I thank you.

I bow in gratitude to you for this deep work,

This power,

This gift of forgiveness.

God bless you always.
