The Purification Process and Forgiveness

I had a very deep AH HA moment the other day.  I understand better  the honor and gift of the purification process.
The purification process is not an easy process.  It is a simple process.  The simplicity comes from allowing the process to happen.  The difficult part is trusting and letting go so the process can happen.

Often the purification process is very painful.  The pain may be felt in the physical body.  It may be felt in the mental body.  It may be felt in the emotional body.  It may be felt in the physical, mental, and the emotional body at the same time.

Sometimes it feels the pain has no ending.  It may feel as if we have been deserted.  If may feel that we are all alone - without any support.
I understand better the pain is part of the creative process.  The creative process is transforming our blockages and creating new consciousness.  The new consciousness helps us realize we are very loved. We are not alone.  We are supported.  We will pass through the pain.  We will be able to carry more Divine Light.

When I am in the deep purification process, when I feel so much emotional pain, I now understand to go into forgiveness.
I deeply believe in karma.  If I am in pain, then I caused others pain.  I ask for forgiveness.  I understand how I made others suffer.  I understand their suffering, because I am suffering.  When I sincerely ask for forgiveness,  I am helping create the transformation within myself.  My suffering eases.

Allow me to share my forgiveness practice:

I sit up straight, with my back free and clear.  I place my hands in the Soul Light Era Prayer position (left hand horizontal over the chest area, the right hand in traditional prayer position).

I visual a beautiful bright light ball in my lower abdomen.  The light ball radiates this beautiful light throughout my entire being.  Sometimes I will see souls who are coming to participate in the forgiveness practice.

I ask for forgiveness, sincerely and from the bottom of my heart.
Dear all the souls I have hurt or harmed in any lifetime,
I love you.
Please forgive me for the great pain I have caused you.  I am suffering because I caused you pain and suffering.
I am very, very sorry.
Please forgive my ancestors for the pain they have caused you and your ancestors.
And I forgive you for any pain you may have caused me or my ancestors in all lifetimes.

Then I chant:
I forgive you,
Please forgive me.
Bring love peace and harmony.
Bring love peace and harmony.

I do this as often as possible. I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to transform, to be an active participate in my transformative process.

I feel the transformation.  I feel the creative process.  My pain eases.

I am very, very grateful.
