Amends - Coming To Terms With An Open Heart

Take a comfortable seat.

As you breathe in,

Breathe in the wonderful oxygen and let go of any negativity on the outbreath.

Breathing in,

Fill yourself with positive energy.

Breathing out,

Letting go of any fears.

As you breathe in and out,

Feeling this connection to something higher than yourself,

Higher than your thinking,

Higher than your fears.

Today's the day you're going to make an amends.

Or at least you're thinking about making an amends.

How to do that?

An amends isn't just saying you're sorry.

How many times have we said we're sorry and done the same thing two seconds later.

After a while,

Just saying I'm sorry falls on deaf ears.

It requires a little more honest action,

A little more admitting what our part is.

Now,

Who want to be free,

Really free?

This is important.

It's important to realize how our ego,

How our self-cherishing,

Our pride,

Our ambitions,

Our pocketbooks,

All these actions of self-cherishing have gotten us into trouble with others.

How we have to be right or perhaps we leaned on somebody emotionally so heavily that we were really sucking on their energy.

We can say we're sorry,

But we really have to see what our part is.

We have to own up to it and tell that person that we did these things and this is why.

But you're not going to do it again,

Asking them if there's something that you can do to rectify this.

Being ingredient here is to do that with an honest and open heart and allow the other person to respond,

Giving them the time to respond.

Now,

If you have something in the past that really bothers you and that person isn't around,

You can always write them a letter.

If they're not here in body,

You can go to a place and put an image of them up and read all those things to them and turn it over.

Or you can write that letter.

You know what you have to do.

It's really just to be there with your higher power and feel the time is right and ask for the courage to be able to do it and the wisdom to put it in the proper words.

To take that action is owning who you are,

To get rid of behaviors in the past and allow yourself to move forward and allow others to move forward also.

Breathing in,

Knowing what you need to do and being thankful that now is the time that you feel ready to let it go.
