In gratitude to my spiritual teacher Master Choa Kok Sui.

People familiar with healing arts know how effective they can be for various conditions. Practitioners will tell us how they can make our chakras squeaky clean and shiny for a remarkably fast relief. I also observed that the positive effect may not last long. After a session, the old-seated diseased and contaminated energies will tend to travel from the root of a chakra to its surface and the symptoms return. In fact, “best techniques” cannot produce long-lasting profound healing unless one learns to forgive. The teaching of any healing modality would be incomplete without the embedded practice of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not just a nice thing to do, but it’s a smart thing to do. We are doing it for ourselves. Even if we were hurt a long time ago, the pain could still be felt fresh. That grudge often presents itself as a blob of murky dark energy that obstructs our energy flow, preventing us from moving on with our lives to achieve a profound healing and authentic happiness. Forgiving somebody does not mean accepting or justifying what was done to us, but rather releasing that negative energy that holds us down. It means that we are refusing to carry the burden of somebody else’s transgressions, and we choose to stay unaffected by it. “I am unaffected, and I release you out of my system”—that’s the meaning of true inner forgiveness. That’s why internal forgiveness is for all, no exceptions. Externally, however, forgiveness is on a case-by-case basis. To protect others from being hurt and preserve order in society, a certain degree of punishment and measured severity can be applied. That is done to prevent social chaos.

We don’t expect a baby to behave like a teenager. Then, do not expect a teenager to behave like an adult and, most certainly, do not expect every adult to behave like a mature soul. On the scale of spiritual evolution, we are all babies. Show mercy to others and mercy will be shown to us. Don’t be harsh on people. Forgive others and that deed will be deposited into our karmic bank. Surely, there will be a time of adversity when we want to ask for mercy and withdraw some of that spiritual capital. At the time, we don’t want to find your karmic account empty.

Practice forgiveness regularly. Forgive our past offenders first, release them out of our system, disconnect and move on with our lives.  The next time someone mistreats us, do it immediately. Show loving-kindness to ourselves as well. When making a mistake, apologize, and don’t beat ourselves up. Don’t dwell on it. Just learn the lesson and don’t do it again.   

Anyone can say or write anything. I suggest to meditate on this article as a seed thought. Question it, experiment and make your own conclusions.
