Life is unfair. There will be situations in your life that cause emotional or spiritual pain. Holding on to emotions such as anger or fear can lead to other health problems such as depression or heart problems. It can show up as jaw pain from clenching your teeth or neck pain from tension in your shoulders. When these emotions are not processed or released, you body responds by holding tension in your tissues and organ systems which can eventually lead to chronic illness.
Forgiveness can help you release the emotions and physical tension in your body caused by conflicts and misunderstandings with others. Forgiveness can be liberating as it restores your happiness, joy and peace of mind. When you forgive yourself and others, your body will relax and begin to release the cycle of unhealthy responses in your mind, body and spirit.
There are many techniques for forgiveness. One way is to acknowledge your own actions that contributed to the situation instead of focusing on blaming others. When you are able to see your role in the conflict, pray the ancient Hawaiian Ho'oponopono prayer of forgiveness for yourself: "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you." Notice how your attitude and feelings towards others begin to shift when you use this prayer regularly.
