Forgiveness Exercise
Take the time to think of 3 people that you need to forgive.
Write out each sentence and paragraph below for each person you select. For
the next 7 days (morning and night) read aloud all that information that you
have written down. Remember to write
out everything that comes to mind during the next 7 days.
I____(your name)_____forgive _____(person you blame)____ for the following actions done towards me.
Write down what he or she has done to you. Sit still and reflect on the experience and make sure you remember every little thing that hurt or bothered you.
The above actions made me
feel_______, ________, ________, and ________.
Write down how this made you feel. Did it make you feel worthless? Used? Unloved? Betrayed? Hurt? Write down as many feeling as you remember them.
I
want you to know that what you have said or done to me was negative and/or
painful. I have allowed you to hurt me
and stop my blessings. I now realized that by forgiving you I would regain my
powers back.
Right
here and now, I am taking my powers back that I have given you.
______( Person’s
Name)____ I forgive you
totally and unconditionally. I forgive your actions towards me because your actions
have done noting but made me stronger. In
the past I have allowed this negative memory to stop me from growing spiritually,
physically, mentally, and financially. By forgiving you I will regain my powers
back and you can not, I repeat, you can not stop me from being loving, caring,
giving, successful and prosperous again.
I___(Your Name)___ forgive myself totally and
unconditionally. I am free to be whole and complete.
So it is, so it will be, and
I rejoice because it has happened.
You must do this exercise for the next 7 days. Please be committed to completing this exercise. When you put it off or refuse to commit to this exercise it reflects your resistance to releasing your past pain. True forgiveness requires work and effort.
Do not be disturbed if you see or hear from the very person you are forgiving and/or releasing. Your inner spirit will show you how to handle the situation and you will see if you have completed your task of forgiving this person. Notice how you respond to the situation. When you have forgiven totally and unconditionally, you will experience a new sense of freedom and PEACE. You will also respond in a peaceful manner as well without any inner turmoil. If their presence cause you to react or feel any negative emotions, you did not forgive them. Redo this exercise.
Save these papers for next week. Do not discard them.
