Weekly Challenge Entry
I have struggled with my entry for this week’s challenge. I wasn’t sure how to approach it or what to do with it. I can think of things that need to be addressed with forgiveness & some things that I have recently done for myself to be able to move forward.
When I get to a place where a person or situation needs forgiveness after whatever it is that has happened in the past, I must work through ALL my feelings whether they are emotionally or physically charged. I journal about them, maybe do a shadow worksheet or using my Book of Mirrors prompts from that I have saved from Spells8. I must work through my feelings, release them, write them a letter & give it to the universe.
I usually like to do a Grounding Ritual before I do any of the journaling & I will do a type of self-care or self-love guided meditation or for forgiveness specifically afterward. It depends on who or what situation I am forgiving.
It’s not hard for me to forgive, I am now a very ask me a question & I will give you the answer. Please just ask or talk to me. If there is an issue, then we need to figure it out to move forward. I also need to be more self-aware to be able to step back & go over both sides to either figure it out or see where the fracture in the relationship or situation started. If the other person has moved on or left the situation permanently, then I make sure to ground, do a releasing ritual or letting go ritual of some kind & then follow up with self-love or self-care guided meditation 
I write about my feelings when making the decision & afterward.
These are decisions I Do Not take lightly, releasing relationships, but I always forgive myself and/or the other person for what transpired. I usually don’t place all the responsibility on one person or the other. I also consider what space the other person or situation is in at the time & where they may be in their lives.
I have found that if I follow through with processing all these things then the release & forgiveness are much more felt & I can feel the energy get lighter around me when it’s not consuming my energy & emotions. Through experience, it’s a very freeing feeling to be able to move forward once the forgiveness is fully offered & sent where it needs to go for healing of your own journey.
