Welcome to Forgiveness in the Moment.
We have a choice, as
we go through our days, to be mastered by the events of life or we
can learn to achieve mastery, and be calm and peaceful whatever
happens.
We can choose to
respond with anger, impatience, discouragement and sadness or we can
learn to calm ourselves and be at peace. Obstacles, challenges and
“bad news” will always show up, but by facing them consciously we
can use them to pivot back to poise and equanimity. The more we do
that the more we grow emotionally and spiritually.
When we make that
powerful choice to forgive those people and events that trigger our
initial emotional “negative” responses, then release them and allow
peace of mind to be restored, we become more energetic and more
effective.
When we make that
powerful choice we can bring about change not only to how we
perceive the world but how the world is.
Some time ago I began studying the idea of forgiveness and
incorporated it into my daily life. Much of my practice was centered
on the work of others which I found extremely helpful when I had
some time to look at what was upsetting me. Each of these
“forgiveness teachers” had developed a process which I used to great
benefit, especially in the area of my emotional well being. But I
soon came to perceive a need to forgive people I found irritating
and events I found upsetting as they happened throughout the day,
rather than wait till I had some time later on to give them my full
attention.
The process I call
“Forgiveness in the Moment” soon came into being and I put it into
immediate practice. I have found it to be of immense help in
restoring my emotional balance and purposeful living. It is meant to
be complimentary to the other methods I use but it is very powerful
in and of itself.
To begin, click on the
tab titled
The Process
and begin implementing the steps when
you feel your sense of well being challenged. If you desire to more
fully understand the ideas behind the steps of The Process
(it’s not
necessary for The Process to work but you may find it helpful) click
on
The Process Explained. If you desire to expand your
forgiveness practice, click on
Going Further. There you will
find links to the web pages, books and other material of those whose
work has been invaluable to the emotional and spiritual growth of
countless numbers of people.
In the section marked
Tools
there is a downloadable and printable version of
The
Process to serve as a reminder for you as you go through your day.
Also included are a number of guided meditations you can use to give
yourself a deeper experience of being forgiving and forgiving your
self. Finally in the section labeled
Sharing you will have
access to the Forgiveness blog, (coming soon) it is also a place to ask questions
and share your forgiveness experience and testimonials. This site is
meant to be a work in progress; your feed back is very welcome.
