Crystals For Forgiveness



The ability to forgive is a beautiful trait to have, though for most people it can be a very long and difficult road. The ability to let go hurtful emotions rather than carry the weight with you. Forgiveness isn’t only forgiving those who have wronged you, but healing the parts of you that carry those burdens. It allows us to raise our vibration and live a more loving life.


When you go about forgiving, you want to focus on solely your emotions. The expectation of how the other person will react or feel shouldn’t play into your decision to heal. The choice you make to let go of the pain that they’ve caused you will release that burden. This world is a place of mirroring, what you put out, you’ll receive. Forgiving someone for yourself will ripple out and make a more positive mindset for you going forward. The act of forgiveness opens and heals our heart. The heart chakra holds your ability of loving others and yourself, which as we know forgiveness is a balance of both. Healing is an ongoing experience, it’s never really finished. You’ll always find new things to forgive, each one being a new milestone for your soul.

Steps for forgiving


1. Changing perspective

These first two go hand in hand, you have to flip the situation to see it in a different way. Try asking yourself “what would be so bad about this situation” Go deep into your emotions and write a list of all the reasons this is hurting you

2.Finding a benefit

Now that you’ve expanded, flip the prompt and ask yourself “what is good about this situation” Try writing a list of everything that is helping to heal you.

3.Gaining compassion and acceptance

The first two help you find compassion, with that comes acceptance. (if you haven’t reached acceptance do 1 and 2 over again, as many times as needed).


Alternate method for Forgiveness


Write a letter and Burn it

You can also write a letter expressing your anguish, then burn it. Burning letters is a very therapeutic technique because you’re letting go of that hurt and laying it to rest. It is no longer yours to carry, have full faith that this hurt and pain will not serve you well. Doing this will set you free from holding onto it any longer, and it’s a gift you give yourself.
