Forgiveness
frees the soul
Set your burdens and grudges adrift
on the ocean of forgiveness
There
is little to compare to the feeling of freedom!
Men have given their lives in the fight
for freedom!
Yet it is ironical how they enslave
themselves to grudges and hate and emotional burdens.
The effort required to forgive is not
that difficult.
Your personal freedom from hurt caused
by others and even by feelings you may have about yourself is a healing
saviour.
By uncoupling these feelings you will
experience a lightness of being, a relief deep within your soul that
starts a beneficial chemical process in your body. The opposite of the
poison that permeates a person suffering from the unhealthy weight of
hate, revenge and hurt.
When someone hurts our feelings, they
hurt our bodies as well, hurt is hurt and we allow that to fester and
tear our bodies apart.
Forgiveness
can cure many ills
Medical science confirms the health benefits
of sincere forgiving...
Every informed person
today is acutely aware of the ill effects of stress on our physiological
makeup.
What are the benefits of forgiveness?
Research shows that holding on to grudges and bitterness results in
long-term health problems. Forgiveness, though, offers many benefits,
such as:
- Lower blood pressure
- Stress reduction
- Less hostility
- Better anger management skills
- Lower heart rate
- Lower risk of alcohol or substance abuse
- Fewer depression symptoms
- Fewer anxiety symptoms
- Reduction in chronic pain
- More friendships
- Healthier relationships
- Greater religious or spiritual well-being
- Improved psychological well-being
In the absence of forgiving and forgetting, the partners in
a relationship run the risk of:
- Continuously being hurt with pain and suffering going unresolved.
- Unresolved guilt and remorse for offenses committed.
- Chronically seeking revenge and paybacks from one another.
- Being caught up in unresolved anger, animosity, and bitterness.
- Defensive, self-protective, and distant behavior.
- Blaming, negative and non-growth oriented behavior.
- Being stuck in a battlefield stockpiled for future offensive attacks.
- Being lost in a festering wound that never realizes the revitalization
of healing.
- Secretive and non-communicative behavior.
- Fear over making a mistake or of having the mistake revealed.
- Being overwhelmed by fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of
non-approval, low self-esteem, fear of conflict.
- High stress.
