FORGIVENESS
THE CORNERSTONE OF ATTITUDINAL HEALING
By Jerry Jampolsky, M.D. and Diane Cirincione, Ph.D.
If you…imagine that you read in the newspaper tomorrow and
heard on television and radio that a new drug had been invented
that would take away all the anger and grievances you are holding
on to and would bring you peace and happiness, that the drug was
free and that you could not overdose on it, wouldn’t we all rush
out to get that drug?
Well, this is what forgiveness does and more. It takes your anxiety away,
dissolves fear, makes you feel secure, puts a sparkle in your eyes and
softens your eyes, removes the frowns on your forehead, takes the weight
off your shoulders, puts joy and happiness in your heart and puts a smile on
your face. Forgiveness make our load in life much lighter.
Forgiveness is the process of letting go of the painful past. It is a decision
to let go of the anger and the grievances we may be holding on to. It is
a decision to no longer suffer and to heal your mind. Forgiveness is the key
to inner peace and happiness. Forgiveness is the process of inner healing.
It becomes easier to forgive when we no longer believe we are victims.
Forgiveness is the eraser that makes the hurtful past disappear.
Forgiveness is the process of healing our mind and stopping the recycling
anger and the inner wars many of us have in our mind. To have peace in
our outer world, the process of forgiveness must begin in ourselves.
Forgiveness is the most powerful force that can create a world that is
peaceful and without wars. We will truly have more peaceful relationships
when we stop telling others how to live and start practicing love and
forgiveness.
Forgiveness does not have to have a form. The other person does not have to
change. The litmus paper of knowing we have truly forgiven ourselves or
another person is that we no longer see the shadows of the past in ourselves
or others. Forgiveness means giving up all hopes for a better past.
Forgiveness creates a world where we do not withhold our love from anyone.
It is based on a belief system that everyone including ourselves can be
forgiven and that we benefit when we do forgive. Forgiving others can be
the first step in forgiving ourselves.
When we don’t forgive it is like taking arsenic and expecting someone else to
die. When we don’t forgive we are really hurting ourselves. There is now
scientific evidence that when we do not forgive and continue to hold on to
anger, it can affect our health,....injure our immune system and affect every
organ in our body. The unforgiving mind hides from our awareness the fact that
we imprison ourselves...
organ in our body. The unforgiving mind hides from our awareness the fact that
we imprison ourselves...
Editor's Note: In my recent personal cancer healing journey, forgiveness has been at the top of my list. Keep on forgiving. No matter what. --Sue Memhard, Founder/Director, The Emerald Heart Cancer Foundation.
