I have been teaching Cosmic Heart Energy Healing level 3 to some students. At this level I am teaching some advanced healing techniques to them to assist with clearing past lives that are affecting their current life. They are also being taught to use these techniques on others as well.

Whilst they were working through the practical work of helping each other clear a past life I was given this message about the importance of forgiveness by my Arcturian guides. The Arcturians are high vibrational galactic light beings who are known to be Advanced Intuitive Healers.

‘We come in love and peace. Forgiveness is key in any healing work that is done as it releases large amounts of toxic energies that may have accumulated and been buried for many lifetimes.
The phrase that is used by humans that they must ‘forgive and forget’ is not necessarily the case, as your soul will not want you to experience any further negativity from that person.

Forgiveness allows the stuck energy to be released so that you can move forward. However, you don’t necessarily forget ,but equally you must not dwell on what happened. It is like the first time that you burn yourself, it hurts, so you are more careful after that with how you conduct yourself when you are near something hot. Equally when you have forgiven someone for what they have done/said, you are not going to put yourself in a space whereby they can hurt you again. Indeed once this work has been done you may go your separate ways.

Many people are yet to understand that when you refuse to forgive someone, the person that is being damaged the most is yourself as you are holding onto lots of anger and resentment toward the other person which is eating away at you. This may have been brought through from another lifetime, many years ago.

Forgiveness brings a big release, a shift so that you are free to be yourself once more. Forgiveness comes easily when your heart is open and you look with compassion on others understanding that they were doing the best they could with the knowledge they had. When you are able to look at any given situation without the emotions of the human form attached, you  will see that it ‘simply is’. It is a learning experience to teach you about yourself. It is neither good nor  bad it is just what you needed to learn to help you to grow.

Forgiveness equals freedom and allows you to raise your vibration so that you can shine your light and emanate love. When you love unconditionally forgiveness comes naturally. Remember too, to forgive yourself for your part in any dramas, as your soul will have allowed you that experience to help you to grow.

Divine love and compassion go hand in hand, and when you have mastered this understanding and live your life in this way you will find that it is much easier to forgive those whom you perceive to have caused you harm.  You will realise that every living being deserves to be loved unconditionally.’

This is a lovely reminder of the importance of forgiveness and how when we don’t forgive, the person we are harming most is ourself.
