Forgiveness Myths

The Myths of Forgiveness

There are concepts about forgiveness that are not correct and cause problems when people attempt to forgive another person.  when we look at what forgivneness is and is not, we reveal these myths.

Forgiveness IS NOT:

*Condoning a bad behavoir, justifying an offense or turning the other cheek.

*NOT reconciliation with the offending party.

*NOT the same as, out of sight, out of mind.

*NOT dependent upon an apology

*NOT Dependent on the other person being alive or in contact with you.

*NOT forgetting and not lack of reponsibilty.

*NOT dependent on a belief in God.

Myths of Forgiveness Detection:  to assist your forgiving, complete this exercise:

*Bring to mind a situation in your life where you have been unsuccessfull in forgiving another person.

*Look and see if one of the Myths of Forgiveness stands in the way of your being able to forgive.  Write down the myth.

1) Would dispelling that myth allow you to see the situation from a different perspective?

2) Could you forgive the other person now?

Forgive 70 X 7 X 7

Forgiving is a tool to free the heart of painful memories and allowing the emotions of anger, fear, hate, etc... to leave the body.  Joy returns, Creativity returns, Laughter returns, Health returns, Freedom of the mind returns, giving one the freedom to play on God's Playground. 

2010 marks 7 years of the teachings of 70 x 7.  A simple powerful mantra that has changed the lives of hundreds of devoted people that are committed to freeing the heart, mind and spirit.

70 x 7 is a daily Spiritual Practice. It is like a chant, a Mantra with only two powerful words that are repeated, non stop for about 20-25 minutes. 

"I FORGIVE"  70 x 7 = 490. 

I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE.
I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE.

Taking a deep breathe every 10th time.   Breathe in deeply and exhale slowly "I FORGIVE"

I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE.
I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE.

Taking a deep breathe every 10th time.   Breathe in deeply and exhale slowly "I FORGIVE"

Repeat the words "I FORGIVE" continue until you have prayed the Forgiveness Mantra 490 times. Each time you say the words you go deeper into your deep down seeded memories of hurtful moments.  Some of the memories have been forgotten but not Forgiven and are in the body, mind and protected from the heart.  Forgiveness opens the heart to love.  Forgiveness is Love. 

I created a necklace with 490 beads and 10 hearts. The beads helped me stay focus it also made counting simple.  After a few years I began to teach praying the Forgiveness Mantra without the beads.  Just sit in a quite place where nothing can distract you, turn down the lights and begin to just say the words, "I FORGIVE" for 20 mins. without stopping.  It's a good idea to make sure you have tissue and water.  Tears and more tears begin to surface as well as every memory of painful, unforgiven moments.  One by one they surface to be released.  Feels raw, painful, sometimes surprising, this is love in it's raw stage, for it is Love that heals everything. As you continue to say the words "I FORGIVE"  the feelings inside are calm as love take over your whole being... because love has released the pain and there is a feeling of peace, ah and bliss.  I love myself so much that I am willing to look at all of it.  So I can be freed to Love Again, Laugh Again, Live Life fully!  I love you so much and this feeling is my wish for you. 

Forgiving is not for the other person, place or thing, it is for you.  One of the first books I read on forgiving is by Maureen Burns, titled "Forgivness, a Gift you Give yourself.   In Maureen's book she made it very clear, forgiving is for me.

Forgiveness Can Mean Good Health

It's not always easy to forgive and make peace with our past. At Santa Rosa Medical Center offers a class that teaches you the healthy benefits of forgiving.

Practicing Forgiveness: Tools to heal Mind, Body and Spirit in a Six Week Course based on research by Fred Luskin, PhD, of Stanford Medical Center.  The class focuses on skills such as heart-focused breathing, mindfulness meditation, and forgiveness exercises to cope with the daily stressors of life.

"Most of us have experiences of hurt or disappointment in our relationships," says Barbara Carlson, manager of Health Education at Santa Rosa. "We've all had situations that are difficult or painful that we have come to terms with, learn from, or in some cases let go."  a women took the class last fall after she reached a point in her life where she always felt let down or frustrated.  Her husband often had to bear the brunt of her feelings of disappointment.  "I consider myself an articulate, intelligent human being.  Yet I felt completely at a loss at times, emotionally and mentally," she says.  But taking the class helped her understand how to look at things more positively and to take time for herself. "I'm truly trying to be more and more aware of things that make me feel good about where I am and who I am."

For more information and any fees, call (707) 393-4167 or (707) 566-5277.  Go to kp.org/classes to find other health classes.
