Freya's EmPOWERed Life Newsletter

Dear Friends,

“Dear Freya: I hang on to old grudges and don’t know how to let go” wrote one of my readers, Elizabeth. “Especially during the holiday season I feel I should forgive but I am overwhelmed with resentment and hurt.”

Hanging on to resentment and old grudges costs us a lot in emotional energy – it creates a constant low level of stress and wears us down over time.

Forgiveness and acceptance are often confused with condoning behavior that we believe is wrong. It can feel like being weak and giving in. But if you approach it the right way, forgiveness is extraordinarily empowering! Read about the hidden power of forgiveness in my latest Article

I hope you find the tips in my December Newsletter helpful to experience peace of mind and emotions and enjoy the holidays.

Cheers, Freya

1. Article: The Hidden Power of Forgiveness
“Dear Freya: I hang on to old grudges and don’t know how to let go” wrote one of my readers, Elizabeth. “Especially during the holiday season I feel I should forgive but I am overwhelmed with resentment and hurt”

Hanging on to resentment and old grudges costs us a lot in emotional energy – it creates a constant low level of stress and wears us down over time.

Forgiveness and acceptance are often confused with condoning behavior that we believe is wrong. It can feel like being weak and giving in. However, forgiving is a very courageous act of freeing ourselves to be at peace with others – and with ourselves.

When you decide to forgive someone you release the emotional hold the other person has on you. You let go of the pain in the memory and take your power back from them. You can actually feel the weight dropping off your shoulders and peace flowing through you when you truly forgive.

Here are some tips on how to let go and forgive:
1. Remember the situation in which the person hurt you and make it into a brief movie scene.

• First, look at every emotion in the movie and ask yourself: “Do I really want to hang on to this emotion or can I let go of it?
• Then sit in the audience and view the scene again at a distance. What new perspective do you gain?

2. Hold a conversation with the person who hurt you:

• Call the person on the phone and actually talk about the situation and express your forgiveness.
• Speak out loud or write down what you would like to say to this person. Then ask yourself what he or she would answer.

3. Use EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to release any painful emotions such as hurt, anger, unworthiness, blame, hatred that prevent you from letting go.

4. Send love: Sit down, close your eyes and feel all the love that is in you. Let it radiate through your whole body. Then concentrate it in your heart and send it out to the person who hurt you. Know that it will reach this person -- and that you might receive love back.

This holiday season give yourself the gift of peace of mind/emotions and increased self-esteem. Use the tips above to let go of some old emotions and enjoy your all your family and friends coming together to celebrate.

If you feel stuck in an emotional prison about someone and need help forgiving, consider signing up for a body-mind balancing EFT session. You can get a free 15 minute evaluative EFT Coaching consultation just by emailing me.

3. Life Quotes: on Forgiveness
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” Lewis B. Smedes

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” Catherine Ponder

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive” Alan Paton

5. Resources:
The Power of Forgiveness DVD by Martin Doblmeier. Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh, and authors Marianne Williamson and Thomas Moore speak in this film. Four remarkable people testify to the healing power of the simplest, most difficult task some human beings may ever face. Researcher say forgiveness-for petty insult, random violence, or genocide, can change one's life forever, in Northern Ireland, the Amish countryside, and at Ground Zero.
