Learn To Forgive.

Dear P.J.,

Forgiving others is absolutely
essential if you want to attain
radiant physical, emotional, and
spiritual health.

And you have to forgive yourself,
too. They're both variations on the
same theme.

First yourself: Every human being
has done or said things that they
regret. Instead of feeling guilt,
tell yourself -- and say it aloud --
"The woman I am today would not
have said or done that to you,
(name of person). I can't go back
and change what I did or said. But
if we met in similar circumstances
today, I would not hurt you."

Say that, as many times as you need
to, P.J., and then FORGET IT! No more guilt. Feeling bad about past
actions only hurts you. The best
any of us can say is that the person
I am TODAY, a much saner, happier
person, would have done things differently.

Regarding other people who have hurt
you: Feeling anger for injuries done to
you, no matter how horrific, only
hurts you. Your anger doesn't hurt
the perpetrators. You need to tell
yourself that if the man or woman
who hurt you grievously, had been
more spiritually evolved, they never
would have hurt you. They were
ignorant, caught up in their own
negative soap-opera, and so they
struck out at you. You need to say -- and mean, P.J., -- "I forgive you
for what you did to me." The words
may stick in your craw when you say
them the first time. Trust me. After
some weeks or months, you will say
that and mean it. Begin by pretending, and see what happens.

Regarding your rolfer friend: yes,
he COULD see or feel the energy
blockage in your body. That's not at
all uncommon. He may have seen your
aura, your energy shadow, and noticed the off-colors that suggested a big blockage. Or he may
have been able to feel the blockage
with his hands -- without touching
you. I have a good friend, a yoga
teacher and massage therapist, who
can feel energy blockages in people's bodies by running his hands
slowly over their bodies, from about
4 inches away.

You should make this a priority,
P.J. Get rid of those blockages ASAP. Go to your rolfer, do the
forgiveness exercises, and buy
copies of the books by Dr. Sha
and Andreas Moritz (who has a forum
on CureZone).

The past is dead. It exists only in
your memories. Don't let yourself be
held captive by your mind. Our minds
love to do soap-opera! Our minds can
ONLY function when they're concerned
with the past and the future. Live in the moment, P.J., the Now. Savor
every moment. Forgive and forget,
and get on with your life. The best
is yet to be. Don't doubt that for
a moment.

Blessings,
