Forgiveness
Affirmation~ I will hold no grudges.
Anger is the shackle that binds us to our painful memories.
Forgiveness is the key that unlocks those chains and sets us free. It is an important part of healing our body,
mind, and spirit.
My unique story is about female intuition and
life-saving prophetic dreams delivered by spirit-guides/angels…and forgiveness.
These guided dreams were at odds with scientific medical tests, physicians who
believed in them and hospital policies that did not have patient’s interests at
heart. I am using my story to save
lives, one person at a time and heal doctors whose practices are unhealthy due
to unsound hospital policies. I learned to win at the hospital policy game that
does not favor patients. I have now been cancer free for 13 and 7 years,
respectively. Forgiveness was a key to my survival.
I survived aggressive breast cancer—three
times—that was missed by physicians at a leading Cancer Institute, in Boston
Massachusetts and the scientific tests on which they relied. That is as lucky
as winning the lottery three times in a row. Luck had little to do with it.
Devine intervention did. My first cancer was stage-two, the second was stage-four
and the third was stage zero.
Believe! Dreams Do Come True.
My dreams, inner guidance/angels and female intuition
empowered me with signs, symbols and information that I used to convince my
doctor to do exploratory surgery on my breast which ultimately found the
cancer. Pathology validated my cancer
dreams which proved that dreams do come true and that there is life after death
in the form of guides and angels who can contact us through dreams, mediations
and prayer. Dreams can be the answers to our prayers.
While most women would be overjoyed to hear
that they are healthy and to go home, I knew my doctors words were wrong and advocated
for the tests my dreams told me I needed in order to live. I used my intuition
to self-advocate a course of treatment, often against the vehement advice of my
doctors. My story is a blind study
between doctors and Devine intervention. Devine intervention won.
When we are in our darkest hour God
illuminates the right path. When we are down to nothing, God is up to
something. When we feel we have been deserted by our fellow man, God is there
to lead the way. Believe in Him. Forgive mankind. And move forward in life.
When We Are In Crisis, We Are Never Alone!
We have spirit guides, guardian angels and love ones in Heaven
who are given permission to return to guide and comfort us during our time of
strife. Their job is to help us fulfill our life’s destiny which I refer to as
"Our Celestial Game-Plan." This plan was decided upon with our
guardian angels before we were born. We all have guardian angels. We are their
job and they take their jobs seriously. When we are in crisis, they are with us
every step of the way.
We Must Self-Advocate.
I survived cancer by self-advocating and used
something many in the medical field do not even acknowledge as being real, My
innate intuition- Female Instinct, Psychi-within!
When your instincts conflict with
conventional science/testing in the fight against crisis/illness, what can you
do to get the treatment you know you need to survive?
- Become the squeaky wheel until you are heard.
- Don’t take “no” for an answer.
- Don’t be dismissed until you are satisfied that
your medical needs are being met.
- Ask for a second opinion.
We are responsible for ourselves. Life is not
a spectator sport. Standing on the sidelines with fingers crossed behind your
back waiting for someone else to make decisions for you is half a game plan that
is missing a vital component-YOU!
After fighting for three months to
get the tests I knew I needed to live, I was angry with the medical community,
especially when my pathology report confirmed cancer. I felt that if I had been
taken seriously sooner my aggressive cancer would not have been as advanced, my
treatments may not have been as severe and my chances for survival would have
been greater. But there are no accidents in life. Everything happens for a
reason. I believe my reason was to prove to the world during a time of great
change that there is life after death and a Greater Power that hears our cry
for help, and answers it through dreams, meditations and prayers. This
knowledge helped me move beyond anger to a place of understanding and healing.
I had a choice. I could have remained an angry
victim of circumstances or forgive and move into a state of healing, secure in
my belief that everything has a purpose. I chose to forgive and heal.
Forgiveness Frees Our Body, Mind and Spirit.
Anger is an emotion that is stored in the mind but felt by
the heart. Its darkness stifles our spiritual light. When our spirit suffers beneath
its weight, our body cries out in pain.
You are controlled by anyone you
refuse to forgive. Holding grudges allows someone to live rent free in your
mind and trash your inner home. Forgiveness evicts them with love. Mahatma
Gandhi explained this beautifully with the words~ “I will not allow anyone to
walk through my mind with their dirty feet."
Affirmations
Forgiving is as easy as saying to the Universe, “I forgive
this person, so the forgiveness is complete.” Sometimes forgiveness involves
forgiving ourselves first.
- Forgiveness Affirmation ♥~I now
liberate my past from my mind, body and affairs and forgive myself for my
participation. I AM FREE!
Rituals
If you feel the need to perform a forgiveness ritual to
bring the abstract idea of forgiveness into the concrete earth plane so it can
manifest and be complete, try using the ritual of fire and smoke. Write a
letter naming who wronged you, then set it ablaze so the smoke can carry your
words and emotions to the Higher Power. This is an excellent way to seal the
deal of forgiveness. Fire is purifying. Smoke is a messenger.
No matter
how or who you choose to forgive, your inner selves and God knows what you are
asking and what you mean. All will be forgiven.
Forgive the Person But Don’t Forget The
Lesson.
The difficult lessons learned throughout life are necessary
to overcome future challenges. They teach us how to listen to ourselves, and
how to read signs, symbols and symptoms necessary for a healthy life and
successful relationships. Each life obstacle
we overcome becomes a part of our inner being. These priceless lessons are the
silver linings of those dark storm clouds. He who forgets the past is doomed to
repeat it. For many of us, once is enough. Remember the lesson. Forget the
pain. Let go of the anger. Forgive the person. And set yourself free.
