FORGIVENESS HEALS

"A Course in Miracles says that all disease comes from a ‘state of unforgiveness’, and that when we are ill, we need to look around to see who it is that we need to forgive"...from the book,You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay.
 My health started to improve when I started to recognize and resolve past emotional conflicts and forgive those who I believed hurt me. Forgiveness is very powerful! 
"As we forgive those who trespass against us" - are, without a doubt, universal words that encompass all religions, races and creeds. These words to live by were given to us by the greatest healer of all, Jesus Christ. Jesus healed through the power of love and forgiveness.

"I know that disease can be reversed by simply reversing mental patterns...Now when I hear about someone's illness, no matter what dire their predicament seems to be, I know that if they're willing to do the mental work of releasing and forgiving, almost anything can be healed." - Louise L. Hay

So what is exactly is a “state of unforgiveness”?

It is a state of holding on to feelings of resentment, bitterness, vengeance and hostility toward someone who hurt you. These unresolved feelings may become a part of your mental thought patterns. And if these unresolved conflicts occurred as a child,  you may not be aware that these negative feelings exist!   “If you allow negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might be swallowed up by your own bitterness and sense of injustice.” Depression, anxiety, feeling disconnected, being overly critical and judgmental are some of the many signs of unforgiveness. These traits may become part of your personality. These traits can also depress your immune system and lead to sickness. See Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges and bitterness for more info.

I had no idea that I was living in a state of unforgiveness. Most of my unresolved emotional conflicts happened when I was younger, so feelings of bitterness and a sense of injustice became part of my daily thought patterns. I unknowingly saw myself as a victim. I  unknowingly saw myself as a “poor me.” I had no idea that I was giving my power away and making myself sick. See my post "Are You A Victim of Your Thoughts?


I found my path of forgiveness through holistic therapies that uncovered and released past emotional trauma. As I released my emotional baggage,  I discovered that I had the power to bring peace, good health, happiness,emotional and spiritual well being to my life.


Here are some of the  therapies that helped me to heal through love and forgiveness:


APN - Applied Psycho-Neurobiology - is a deep therapeutic technique for treating the origin of disease. Taught in the U.S. by Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D,  APN is the work of many physiologists, researchers, psychotherapists, psychologists, medical doctors, and patients. Combining these disciplines provides a more balanced level of healing than standard approaches...The results are subtle, deep and permanent. Many find this process to be life-transforming.

The theory and research suggest that  all life events are recorded by the sub-conscious. Memories of these events can be complete and resolved or unresolved. The unresolved psycho-emotional conflicts are the most common cause of illness and chronic pain. Unresolved conflicts create significant bioelectrical disturbances in conflict specific areas of the brain, producing abnormal neuropeptides and abnormal electrical currents which reach the hypothalamus, sending out stress signals which create dysfunctions in related organs.

APN is designed to identify the unresolved psycho-emotional conflict and uncouple the unresolved conflict from the nervous system, thereby diffusing the source of chronic illness.

APN is one of the many approaches using acumeridian points, tapping on them to influence the flow of energies. See Healing Through Forgiveness for my APN session with Dr. Rasa (Rasa Health) and Dr. Gurevich (Transformational Healing) for more info.


CranioSacral Therapy & Somato Emotional Release: CST is a light-touch “hands on method of evaluating and enhancing  the functioning of a physiological body system called the cranialsacral system-comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. CST encourages the body’s natural mechanisms to improve the functioning of the brain and spinal cord, dissipate the negative effects of stress, and enhances general health and resistance to disease.” See my blog post CranioSacral Therapy & Somato Emotional Release for my healing session with therapist, Kathy Moser of Balanced Health and Healing.


Family Constellation:  Family Constellation work is a group process that allows us to look at how events that occurred in past generations impact our present life experiences. Hidden family dynamics(patterns), often spanning two or more generations, may create imbalance or disharmony in the “mind field” * (an energetic grid that connects all beings.) These disturbances may lead to illness, depression, suicides, alcoholism, relationship difficulties, accidents, or career problems for current family members. Family Constellation is a powerful process for breaking up these destructive patterns and setting a new and healthier life course.

Constellation work is an amazing, life changing experience. I have had my own family constellation and I have also participated in many sessions. As a result, of breaking up old patterns, love and forgiveness has emerged for myself as well as for my family. The mind field does exist. I have witnessed this astounding phenomenon and it is a mind blower! See Transformational Healing and Douglas Economy (Holistic Psychotherapist) for more info.

*Dr. Valerie Hunt, author, scientist and physiological researcher of human energy fields, has concluded that “thoughts are events in the mind-field that are available not only to the consciousness of the creator, but also to other minds...Thoughts  can be passed down to future generations not just by picture, print or the spoken word, but by the strong thoughts remaining in  the  ‘mind field’” - from the book, Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness.


Mental Field Therapy is a self-help therapy to change negative thought patterns into new thoughts of love, hope, forgiveness and gratitude. Mental Field Therapy, consisting of tapping on acupuncture points and consciously recognizing and resolving emotional conflict, has made it
possible for me to believe in these new patterns. Whenever I feel stuck in a negative thought, MFT is the first go to method for releasing  unresolved patterns. Click here for more info on MFT.


Prayer:  We are spiritual beings. Through prayer, we can connect to God, the Universe, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, our True Self or our Higher Self.  The high vibrations of love, forgiveness, compassion and gratitude are healing frequencies. When we connect to God or the Universe, with a deep sense of love, compassion and forgiveness, we are creating a state of healing. We are creating a state of bliss! This is a magnificent and beautiful gift!  We all have this inner connection.  An inner connection to our true selves.  Our true selves are pure spirit. Our true selves are divine!

With this awareness,we all have this ability to create healing frequencies. We all have the ability to create balance and well-being. And we all have the ability to create inner peace and harmony.

But most of all, we all have the ability to create a “state of forgiveness” . Forgive those who hurt you and let it go. In this high vibrational state of forgiveness, we have the ability to  transform our thoughts and our lives into a “heaven” on Earth.

We all  have that ability...

I wish you many blissful and heavenly thoughts each and every day!
