Why We Need To Forgive Others

 

Things happen in this life that are difficult to understand.  I wonder if the difficulty is because we are so fixed in our ways or because we have never learned another way.  Our Ancestors did not practice forgiveness.  Instead, they held onto grudges and slights and this habit of hanging on has caused minor wars and major wars throughout the world.  Forgiveness helps us move into balance and to experience abundance. 

I love this story from the book, The Bounce Back Book by Karen Salmansohn.

A wise woman and her young disciple were walking down the street. Suddenly, out of nowhere, an angry man in a carriage drove haphazardly by the two, insensitively pushing the woman out of his way. She landed in a ditch filled with muddy water. The woman yelled after the man in the carriage, "May you have everything you want!" The disciple, surprised by the wise woman's response, said: "I'm confused. Why did you say that to a man with such horrible behavior?" The woman replied, "Because a happy man wouldn't have thoughtlessly pushed a woman into a ditch."

I wish you peace and joy.

Release Past Grudges and Anger

 

One of my friends read my blog from the other day, and sent me this poster about letting go of the past.  It is awesome!  

It talks about what is in the past that can anchor us from moving forward.  

We all have had grudges.  Have you let go of yours?

We all have had anger and probably still do.  How do you handle yours?

We all have things that people said that belittled us and limit us.  How do you let go of those things?

If you have trouble letting go, just take a look at Nature.  Each season is a change.  There is not any hanging on. Time is not relevant.  It is simply a cycle of letting go.  It is beautiful.

This is a good month to change!

Many blessings,

The Light at Lake Moraine

 

This picture shows the view of Lake Moraine from the spot where I was meditating. You can see how the light is pouring into the area and the mini rainbows that blessed my meditation.

Some of the thoughts that drifted in and out of my consciousness were:

• Love is eternal and moves through many lifetimes.  
• Regardless of the state of the world, kindness and selflessness (as opposed to selfishness) is growing and providing hope to those who feel lost.
• Water is a precious resource that we need to keep pollution free.  As you can see, the water is pure and clear out to six or seven feet.
• We are the Universe

This year, it is more difficult to reach Lake Moraine as the Province of Alberta has put travel restrictions in place so that private vehicles will not be allowed into the lake area.  Instead, visitors will need to book a ride into the lake on the buses that will be running.

When you see the light flowing over the lake, you can understand why folks want to visit the lake and hang out.

The lake is set up as a natural vortex area so the energy is amazing! 

Many blessings,
