Always try to be focused upon letting go of issues that have become burdens carried for some time. Take time for forgiveness, not so much of others, but of the self for holding onto situations that no longer have import to our lives. Often we carry slights that become wounds, when not attended. Letting go of these issues will allow healing and growth to take place. It is not by accident that healing and growth are associated with the same color and chakra. By letting go of hurts and anger we free energy to be other directed towards growth and evolution of the spirit. Hanging onto anger or hurt weights us down and prevents us from ascension and growth, evolution and initiation to the grater dimensions that our spirits strive for.
When put in this perspective much becomes petty and silly; after all who would want to be held back from the wondrous magical realms that are so close by petty slights or anger? Forgiveness is an inner emotion that once embraced shifts the outward expression of the soul energy. It changes your whole demeanor and how others perceive you. It does not happen overnight but once begun the process can be felt and movement seen. It starts on the conscious level and moves to the core of the spirit. It is a journey well worth the effort.
