Forgiving self is a simple yet powerful jewel for self discovery. The act of self forgiveness helps us to let go of the past. This is essential as we enter our new beginnings in the year 2013.

The Oxford English dictionary defines forgiveness as such: “to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt.”

We usually associate forgiveness with our need to forgive others. It takes self awareness to see that we hold ourselves hostage when we resent ourself for something we did or did not do in the past. This calls for the act of forgiving self.

Forgiving self allows for a healthier relationship with ourself. When we forgive self we set ourselves free to live in the moment. We open ourselves up to experience inner peace and joy. As a result we feel more balanced in body, mind, emotion and spirit.

Willingness to Forgive

We are in the Holy Season of peace, love, joy and forgiveness. Be honest with yourself. Are you having a hard time forgiving yourself? The step before forgiveness is the willingness to forgive. This opens the door to the possibility of healing the injury.

Say it out loud as an affirmation: "I have the willingness to forgive myself " Then hand it over to Goddess. Ask the Divine to help you to forgive yourself.

Once you hand the situation over to Spirit let go and allow healing to happen through you. Be aware of shifts in your perception. Are you willing to let go of limiting beliefs and thus allow healing?

The power of forgiving self is an act of self love that opens the doorway for us to receive inner peace and joy. We release ourself to be who we truly are - Divine beings of love and light.

Happy New Beginnings 2013!!

Intuitive Readings Seattle - Reiki Healing Seattle - Meditation Seattle

For more than 29 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world, including India, China and England. Some clients prefer to come see me in person for an Intuitive Reading.

However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions. Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn't matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same - to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me truly happy and I blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.

When you set up an Intuitive Reading in Seattle or a phone session with me, it's best to write down your questions ahead of time. This helps focus your intention on what it you want guidance for in your life.

At the beginning of your Intuitive Reading, I go deep into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for you. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures and the information received is spiritual in nature, yet practical for every day life.

I encourage all of you to:

Live your true potentialr
Feel your own wholenessr
Experience inner peace and joyr
Express your creativityr
Be who you really are- perfectly human and perfectly diviner
