Forgiveness can release emotional blocks, old wounds, and create friends from old enemies.  Most importantly, forgiveness can cleanse your spirit and reopen parts of you that have been locked away for decades.

 We all struggle with things that happen in our lives.  Often unpleasant things have a way of building up in our energy bodies to the point where we no longer are as open or as loving as we used to be.  The potential for powerful emotion can be stifled, and our days may gradually become more dull and dreary than they were before. 

This can happen over long periods of time, and often we don’t notice it.  Then one day we look back and say, “I used to be so happy.  Now everything seems so dull.  What happened?”

 Luckily, forgiveness is the power to unlock these powerful blocks and allow our inner spirit to reemerge.  The problem is that when we are hurt and do not forgive, we lock away a little piece of our energy.  We close our chakras a little.  We bind some of our energy back. 

It’s a protection mechanism, and although it can be helpful for moving through difficult parts of our lives, we do not often understand how to go back later and release that energy.  The more of our energy we have bound and blocked, the less we are able to feel good, to feel happy, to feel excited.  The less we are apt to enjoy life, and the more color seems to seep out of our world.

 So here’s how you work to forgive using the Law of Attraction.  Reflect on painful moments in your past, the ones you would normally not like to think about.  If there is another person involved, perhaps they are the ones you must forgive.  Sometimes you will need to forgive yourself. 

And sometimes, you will just need to forgive circumstances.  Once you know your target, visualize forgiving them.  If it is a person, visualize hugging them.  If it is you, visualize hugging yourself.  If it is circumstance, place a green A-OK checkbox over the scene in your mind.  You must accept and forgive whatever it is that happened.

 For people, sometimes it is helpful to remember that life is a gigantic play.  Each of us is merely an actor, and all of our souls and spirits are pure love.  We are all perfect and loving outside of our bodies, whether we remember it or not.  So the person who has wronged you, you must understand, is an actor in a play. 

This viewpoint may allow you to forgive people it is otherwise difficult to forgive.  You must understand that the forgiveness is for you, not for them.  Forgiveness frees you – empowers you.  It is vital to work at it until you are truly able to release the negative emotions for each major experience that you need healing for.

 As your blocks begin to melt away and you begin to accept parts of your life that you otherwise would not have, you will find that your newly released energy will begin to flow within you again.  Your experience of happiness, excitement and even sorrow will be more enhanced than you are used to.  Color will creep back into your daily life.  You will feel better, happier. 

Continue working on your blocks until you have recovered a general feeling of happiness and goodwill in your daily life, which is our natural state.  As you work with forgiveness, you will find that your manifestation efforts using the Law of Attraction will improve. 

This energy you have freed is now assisting you with your manifesting.  This is the central purpose for learning forgiveness – to reestablish and reconnect with your full energy in order to create the life that you want to live.

If you are just starting out with the Law of Attraction, there are some basic problems you can be aware of that will allow you to more easily achieve success with your manifestation efforts.

The first major block to manifesting your desires is negative thinking.  Negative, self-pitying, pessimistic expectations will only bring you one thing – disappointment.  You can not manifest your desires if after your visualization sessions you return to a negative stream of thought. 

Positive thoughts are vastly more powerful than negative thoughts, but if your predominant pattern of thinking is negative, the positive thoughts will be drowned out.  Focus on taking a more positive, expectant approach to your life.

Another major block is a cognitive misunderstanding between the present, the future, and your as yet unmanifest desire.  If your belief is that you do not have what you want, but in the future you can have it, then it will be very difficult to manifest your desire.  This is because the future never happens – there is only now. 

However, by holding thoughts, visualizations, and expectations of acquiring something in the future, you will always be waiting for that future to come.   Instead, focus on visualizing your desire being manifest in the present. 

A third, very powerful block to manifestation is guilt and low self-worth.  Many religions instill a powerful sense of guilt, and even if you are not religious, you may still carry this guilt.  Sometimes parents instill guilt.  Sometimes peers.  Guilt is a feeling that one is wrong, and when you feel this way, you will subconsciously sabotage your own happiness as a form of penance. 

If you have self-esteem and self-worth problems, again you may subconsciously sabotage your own happiness.  If this is a problem for you, then it is important to work on your own feelings of security, safety and comfort with yourself.  Spiritual material, that can help you understand your connection to the divine, can also assist you in overcoming feelings of guilt or of being value-less.  This block will take time to clear, but your entire life will shine once it’s done.

One final block to look out for is laziness.  If you are unable to discipline yourself to work on your visualizations at least once every few days, then you will not achieve the levels of success you would like.  Learning to use the Law of Attraction doesn’t take a large amount of time or even energy, when compared with the normal strains of everyday life. 

However, if you aren’t disciplined enough to stick to it for a short while, then you can expect to fail.  If you are able to work on it with even a small amount of consistency and dedication, then you will find a transformation occurring within your life.

Once you have made even a dent into any of these blocks that you may have, you can expect to see a lot of improvement in your manifestation success rate. 

Keep visualizing, and always work towards positive transformations in your life…
