The Trinity of Forgiveness
When we have just survived a traumatic event, through seemingly no fault of our own, it can be a difficult to overcome the anger, bitterness and resentment in our hearts. To truly free ourselves we need to step back and view what has happened with compassion, love and forgiveness.

This is carried out in a meditation. Before you do this you must be sure that you honestly and truly are ready to forgive or it will not work.
An Exercise to Forgive and Sever Those Negative Bonds
- Begin by preparing your meditation area, you may wish to light; candles, incense, or play suitably relaxing music.
- Settle into a position that feels right for you, some prefer to be seated in an upright chair, or sat on a cushion on the floor, legs crossed, or you may prefer to meditate laid down (just don’t choose a time that you are too tired or you may fall asleep)
- Close your eyes, relax and, clear your mind and focus on your breathing, the in breath and the out breath, just allow yourself to follow the flow.
- Now we need to set a scene that is comfortable for you and is on mutual, non threatening territory. This could be a meeting in a beautiful park, or on the beach, wherever feels comfortable for you. You may prefer to do this alone or you could call in a higher power to be with you, to help and support you. This could be your Spirit Guide, Guardian Angel. Jesus or other deity from your religion or belief system, an Arch Angel, Michael is especially good to call in for these matters. Anyone who you feel could give you this love and support.
- When you feel their presence around you and you feel comfortable to begin, ask the other party to join you. You may actually see them approach you, in your minds eye or you can visualise this happening (as we are all made up of energy and exist on many different planes you are still interacting with their essence)
- When they are stood in front of you, you may see something bonding you, in the way an umbilical cord attaches mother to child. This bond can take many forms, from a simple cord, to barbed wire; I’ve even seen tree roots binding people together before. Ask whoever is with you to give you something to cut this bond with, it could be sword, a pair of scissors or an axe.
- When you are ready, cut through this bond, as you do so say something along the lines of:
- “I forgive you and I set you free. You no longer have any power over me; your actions can no longer hurt me. I sever this bond between us, you are free and I am free. Peace be with you”
- As the cord is cut turn and walk away in the knowledge that you are free.
- Bring yourself out of your meditative state, in the knowledge that you are truly free.
If you are finding it difficult to move on with your life because you seek forgiveness for something you have done, you can adapt the above ceremony by saying:
- “I know that in your heart and in your soul you have the ability to forgive me for the hurt I caused you. I ask that you set me free and that we may go our separate ways in love and peace”
By severing these negative ties between you both, you are energetically severing the energy that caused the bad feeling. This doesn’t mean that you also have to sever all contact with that person. You may prefer to move on and cease all contact, or you may wish that now the slate has been wiped clean to move forward and forge a new healthier relationship with that person. If this occurred between family members or mutual friends it isn’t always possible to avoid bumping into them.
Remember “To err is human, but to forgive is divine”.

I agree with you, hatred hurts you more than anyone else. You can’t hold onto hatred.

FORGIVENESS is the greatest thing in this world. Our world will become more peaceful and cheerful when “Forgiveness” is beheld in every realm of life.
