Message for the day - Forgiveness

Sometimes life invites us into conditions that challenge us to the core. As the Celtic Goddess Branwen forgave those who caused her own death by a broken heart, she asks you to set yourself free from the seeds of resentment that will surely choke the life out of your dreams.

We are wounded by others and weave stories about our hurts and losses that live on in our hearts and minds. We come to distrust the potential of love and connection. No matter what your story or when it began, forgiveness is the key to freedom here. Forgiveness allows for mending and repair, opening the heart to give and receive. If you need to forgive yourself or others, now is the time to do it. Keep your heart open, and you can begin again. Only beauty, freedom and treasures are found in the spirit of forgiveness. The goddess Branwen is here to support you.

Alignment Message:

Sometimes we unintentionally cause hurt or pain to others; sometimes our motive really is to hurt. Now is the time for self-inventory and making amends. Your alignment task is to be 100% accountable for your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, motives and actions. You are not doing this however, to experience forgiveness from someone else or even from yourself. It's to have the strength and fortitude to be accountable and take responsibility for your actions. In this way, neither guilt nor shame can take root in your heart. You stand empowered and humble with your head high no matter the consequences. You will always be the beneficiary of such an act. The goddess Branwen says deep healing comes from this kind of courage and respect.

Ask yourself today is there someone you are still holding grudges to? It is time to let go even if you do not get the apology from this person. Are you also punishing yourself in a way by holding onto the past experiences? Are you able to forgive yourself for not acting the way you should? Is there something that you regret for not doing enough? Forgiveness is an act of letting go of holdings within your heart to loosen the grip of guilt and hatred. It is an act of giving to yourself.
