"I'm Sorry." I got this message today from tarot prophet, " We're not perfect people. We tend to make mistakes—sometimes small and seemingly insignificant, sometimes major and devastating. In our struggle to be better, we forget that it's okay to make mistakes because we're not defined by them. " I like that......This is also about forgivenes of self. If we say sorry to others, while we wait for forgiveness from them, we also need to forgive ourselves: to free up and dissolve that momentary energy of guilt and shame. Once we recognise that our actions or non actions, have caused a vibration clot, one we perhaps didn't intend but it was a lash out of reactionary or egoic self protection.... we get the 'snap shot', then and there, of the internal energy friction that has been propelled to the surface for expression by reaction. Once we see that we get to work on the clot, the sadness the intimidation, the challenge to our wound, and by forgiveness and compassion for the self and nursing that wound, maybe by starting with self pity, if reach into it searching for healing, we find the antidote is self love. Forgiveness of self is the pathway to resolve the inner conflict, and, saying I am sorry to the other begins the pathway of compassion to the other. All routes rounding up 'self love', and 'love' for the other, completes the healing circle of forgiveness and reinvigorates, by building up the self -love-muscle for true inner strength . H'oponopono explains the healing one needs by expression of "I love you.Forgive me. I am sorry. Thank you" and this works to unravel the internal energy knots and dissolve the body clots formed by guilt and shame and self chastisement for making mistakes etc. ~~Michaela~~
