Steps of the Forgiveness Process - 3

Do you want to venture a guess on what the 3rd step is? Suembela, left a comment about not being sure she could do the process with Joy! Well the 3rd Step is Setting the Goal and the Attitude in pursuing it. Believe it or not, Attitudes do affect  the  Outcome.

What are your goals? Freedom from Painful memories or Freedom from physical pain or Ability to love again, or to have creativity, etc. Did you notice I did not use any negative words like not, do not... etc. Goals should be specific and measurable.

What Attitude should you go with? This is dependent on the Goal you have chosen. Generally - if you chose to have fun with the Forgiveness Process, or see it as discovering answers, then you Will. Whereas, if you chose to find it problematic,  a chore, a sad process, then you Will. I'm hoping you will not chose the latter if you want to succeed in this Process. To illustrate, you're going from Jacksonville, Fl to St. Augustine Fl. you have a choice of taking a scenic route along the ocean or through the highway with a view of cars and concrete. The former might take a little longer but your drive is enjoyable! So Decide now what Attitude you're going with and stick to it.

Any questions so far?

Steps of the Self-Forgiveness Ladder -2

So far it has been relatively comfortable - right? Oh Oh, you're looking apprehensive, waiting for me to say, something like difficult or painful right??  Well, it is not. Did I not mention in Part 4 last week, that the Forgiveness Process is comfortable, compassionate and joyful , if you're doing it right? Now how did you do on your homework on Values.

Well, why don't we do some housecleaning now - no need for a vacuum...... I meant mental housecleaning. That is what Step 2 is about. There are 2 parts. On a whole page draw two vertical columns. On the first, rank the values that you've written, from the most important to the least, leaving a few lines of space between each value. On the second column for each value, you will write a value statement. Here are some examples and each statement should have the words that are capitalized. 
                 Values (Core at the top)                                   Value Statement
     Dignity                                                     I VALUE feeling
                                                                     dignified MORE THAN
                                                                     feeling worthless,     Freedom                                                  I VALUE freedom
                                                                     MORE THAN  feeling a
                                                                     prisoner in
                                                                     my own negativity.

After you have written ALL the Value Statements, then read them aloud as many times as you wish and let them sink in. Running out of writing material. I did warn you that you will need full standard size exercise books.       Again use 2 columns and mention all the benefits and burdens.
Part 2 of Step 2
Benefits of Forgiving Myself                                
Example
Benefits of Forgiving myself
When I forgive myself of holding
on to  resentment, my head is clear, I digest my food better.                                                   
Burdens of not forgiving Myself  
When I hold on to unforgiveness, my headaches do not go away, I have problems with digestion.

If this not self-explanatory, then write to me. List all the benefits and burdens, no matter how insignificant they may seem. Then read them aloud, weighing  the benefits against the burdens. Take all the time you need to reflect on your Value Statements, the benefits and the burdens. As you read the Benefits and Burdens aloud, check your body's reaction. Do you feel your body relax when you read the Benefits? Is the body tensing when you read the Burdens. Which part of the body is reacting more than the others? Jot them down.

I want to thank the three participants of the small forgiveness group. They will be able to share and support each other confidentially, in this Process . Since I'm involved in this small group, my descriptions of these Steps will be minimal. I will still be available to answer your questions or comments and will incorporate it into my posts. Check my posts each week, either on Thursday or Friday.
Joyfully,

Facts on Forgiveness Part 4 of 4

My foray into Energy  Medicine and EFT  introduced me to new avenues in healing and personal development and forgiveness permeated these modalities in a quiet way but its impact on Healing was certainly felt.    In Donna Eden's Energy Medicine, there is a  procedure to send 'Forgiveness through your Body; another is 'Expelling the venom'. In EFT, each day  or each week, you could do what Gary Craig called the Palace of Possibilities.

So when I noticed Guy Pettitt's work on the Forgiveness Process, I had to try it out by myself although he recommends to do it with a coach or have a small group doing the process together.  Some of the Steps are very much like Craig's Palace of Possiblity! Let me say it was challenging doing it on my own, which is why the small groups have become popular in New Zealand and other countries.

First, I had to get a standard size  lined book! Hmmm! What are you waiting for? We can't begin, till you get the writing material and a pen. I'll wait!

Let's begin with Self -Forgiveness first! Why? Any ideas? Before we begin, let me Emphasize - all these Steps have to be done comfortably, compassionately, joyfully and completely.

In response to a question from Nathan, it is not difficult and there are ways to have bio-feedback to know if it worked. For those interested to work on these Steps in a small online group, please let me know. Actually, it would be good to know who are following these Steps through these posts. Anyone? The Comments section will be where I answer questions and elaborate.

This will not work, if you skip some Steps. The best way - do the Steps in Sequence and take all the time you need to finish each one. My plan is to do one Step each week and give you the opportunity to prepare for the next week. When you go on a journey, you have a choice to make it fun or boring, right? So before we begin, let's Will to make it fun, agreed?

The first Step
On the first page, you will write the Definition of the Forgiveness Process. This is  the one for Self-Forgiveness!
The Forgiveness process is cancelling the conditions in oneself, that are blocking the flow of love, independently of the behaviour of anyone else or any outer circumstances.  It is an energy dynamic! 
                                                                                           (Dr. Guy Pettitt)

Now read that aloud. In all the following steps, we will be using both the right side and left side of our brain.

Prep for the Second Step
Think of all your Values (cherish or prize are other words)  including what you've inherited. Have some of your values changed? Write done each value (leaving plenty of space between each) and underline those you feel are your core values that have not and will not change. As you write each Value and read it, notice any sensations in any part of your body, example - heart beats faster, specific muscles tighten or relax, etc. Write all the values you've held.

So till next week! One reader has decided to join the small forgiveness process group online. There is space for 1 or 2  more. So please contact me via comment, as we will be commencing next week. This will be a private and confidential group. Remember as you're doing this, this process is similar to taking the automobile in for an oil change. It is needed and not difficult, so that the auto will run optimally. Only this time, the automobile is you.

Facts on Forgiveness Part 3 of 4

 I am delighted that a couple of my readers have  requested the Steps of the Forgiveness Process. So next week, Part 4 will start on some of the Steps.

Now to answer a question of another reader, who shared an excerpt of a  book she read on Forgiveness where the author stated that you don't have to know how to forgive to forgive. Maybe so. It begs the question, why then are so many people telling me that they thought they've forgiven but months or  years later, there remained residues of resentment, irritation or hurt at the person they had 'forgiven'?
Dr. G. Pettitt has the answer - the forgiveness was not complete as they did not follow certain steps that would make it so. Are you shaking your head dubiously??

.
 If you have a leaking faucet and you put strong tape on it,  for a short while the faucet will stop leaking but then, the amount of water collected will cause a pressure to bust the tape and the waters would gush out causing a mini-flood.  So that is how it is when the Steps of the Forgiveness Process is not followed.

Many times, when we think we've forgiven, we have just repressed the memory. While treating some physical ailment in Energy Medicine and EFT, I noticed how the lack of forgiveness was a prominent culprit. When a client during the sessions, acknowledge the forgiveness aspect, that physical ailment heals. You must have heard about the connection of gastric ulcers and anger. When we use emotional freedom technique taught by Gary Craig, we always acknowledge the negative feeling but we do not stop there. Let me give you an example.

A client with severe pain came in, barely able to walk, doubled up in pain.. After a very brief history and discovering that her predominant emotions were shame and anger, I started  initially with siphoning the pain, then tapping her meridian points with her saying  "Even though I am angry with my ??? for humiliating me in front of my friends, I profoundly accept, respect and love  & (forgive)  myself anyway."
You might ask why she was saying "forgive myself'  Great question - Any feed backs. Before you  can truly forgive others, you have to learn to forgive yourself, using a similar process.
The end result for this particular client - She walked out of the therapy which lasted for about an hour with zero pain. She saw me as a last resort as she had tried everything else, from tests, other therapies to medications.

So next post - will mention some of the Steps in the Forgiveness Process - Have you any ideas of what they may be??

Myths about Forgiveness - Part 2

So  did  you guess correctly? Before I give you the answer, here are the answers of some members of blogcatalog, a forum where I raised a discussion about forgiveness with other bloggers.

Forgiveness is
LovyBoheme " Wiping out all feelings of resentment that you have"... Less forgiveness toward people who hurt the ones I love."

Brianomaracroft " lose a lot of time, energy and life if you don't"...


XxjamberXX " acknowledge the wrongs and set free the old patterns"....


Theresa111 " translation of the word 'forgive" - to let go. Easier, once you practice it a lot."....
Clockwordkitten " forgiveness come easy - when someone wrongs me, don't notice, assume it is a normal part of my day."

Any myths about forgiveness in any of these answers? What do you think? In my next post will be the Facts of  the Forgiveness Process.
 Answer to last week's question - "empower"

Myths about Forgiveness - Part 1

I bet that many of you are wondering how I can associate the word Myth with the serious word Forgiveness!Well read on to find out.

About a week ago, I had as a discussion topic on my social network forum about what forgiveness meant? The answers were only from a few members whose answers were associated with their belief system.
I am thankful for those who responded and will quote their signature avatars in the final paragraph.

First, let's look at the myths about forgiveness.
1.condoning harm,
2.pardoning,
3. being weak or being a victim, martyr or a doormat,
4.losing your rightness or proving the wrongness of the other
5. making the other person change
6. something you do "at" another person
7.too difficult or too easy
8. compulsory. 
from Dr. Guy Pettitt MD, Auckland.

I will also add that it does not come automatically which is why Dr. Pettitt calls it a Process.
My next post will show the input of the members who wrote their views of forgiveness and what the forgiveness process is - one easy clue - one of it can be found up on my blog.
Till the next time.

Powerful Healing Tool

I believe the almost six month hiatus from this blog is over, thanks to some faithful readers and followers like NP, Richer44, Theresa111, some of my clients. My blend of energy medicine attracted clients from unexpected sources and I've learned so much from them.  Thank you!  In the following posts, the theme will be what I witnessed as a powerful healing tool, the FORGIVENESS PROCESS. Yes, I can see some of your faces! No need to frown or sigh and you are allowed to be skeptical. So don't run or hide, just take a seat, relax and come on this journey, which you actually have never been before.

Do you have a difficult time forgiving? Not just forgiving another person but yourself?
Do you  remember the harsh words spoken to you by your parent, relative, teacher many years ago?
Do you remember being humiliated by a child or by an adult many years ago?

As you remember all the above, what is the predominant emotion that it evokes.
Please don't analyze, just write the first emotion that those questions trigger? example: sadness, anger, etc.
If you wish, you could send it to me via the comment.

In this series, there will be posts on what the Forgiveness Process actually is, Myths on  forgiveness, the impact forgiveness has on your health, and how Energy Medicine and EFT can overcome the challenges that we face with Forgiveness. People, I have seen remarkable physical and psychological healing when the Power of Forgiveness was released. When you comment, remember to state private, if you don't want it published. Your confidentiality will be respected.

Till the next post.  P. Nicholas

Energy Medicine - Why the Reluctance?

  

     In the past 3 years, I've practiced  energy medicine practice in one of its various forms, I have used much of my retirement savings and other income to finance the studies. In my practice, clients received huge discounts for the teaching and application of these techniques. I enjoyed seeing the positive outcomes that made me overlook the lack of financial viability of this business. The average length of treatment was three sessions. What was also remarkable is that a client usually came to see me for one problem but ended the final session with solving other secondary problems as well which made it unnecessary for another set of sessions.

    The strange phenomenon about the healing is the apex effect, clients tell me they refer their friends who ask them what it is all about and since they are not able to explain it to them, it goes no further.It is difficult to explain, I know. Even though I have written posts after posts for 18 months, I've had very few comments and definitely no one has contacted me online, to ask about this unique, yet very effective form of Energy Medicine. Energy Medicine is something that has to be practiced. Reading about it or watching someone doing it does not give you the desired results, although it is probable.. Some of the techniques (you noticed I did not use the word "Exercise" because it is Not like the Pilate or Yoga  exercises) look weird to the western-trained mind. So what? If those techniques can facilitate action of your lymphatic and immune systems that will give you sound health and a balanced, joyful lifestyle, why bother with the critics?

   While doing my research, I had spoken to ex-EFT practitioners. I use the word "ex" loosely. These people still practice on themselves and their family, but could not make a living at it. The ones who are making a living are the ones who give "expensive" seminars or workshops!  Another group include some MDs, social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists and physical therapists who use Energy Medicine, EFT, Qigong and  Laughter Therapy in their Practice, with the clients paying them the standard fees charged by the respective professions.

I do believe when Health Canada would pay the costs of this Alternative Health Treatment (Energy Medicine) as they do for chiros. and physiotherapists, then perhaps, people will seek this effective, wholesome form of treatment that has no side-effect and is very cost-effective. I would boldly predict that when EFT, Qigong and Energy Medicine becomes part of the Health System in Canada, the need for hospitalization and medication  will be greatly reduced. There will be no such thing as long waits, doctor or nurse shortages, etc.

So for the Next few months, I will take time to concentrate on other income-generating activities, offline.  I know some of you have used some of my articles for your blogs. I hope some people have been empowered by this blog.. I have over a 120 posts which you could read. You could still comment and I will follow up on it. The great thing about Energy Medicine (unlike conventional medicine ) - it does not become outdated. What is in this blog will  still be relevant a few years from now. I have also kept this blog - ad-free, so enjoy and be empowered.
 Au Revoir and Blessings!

50 laughs A Day keeps the Doc Away!

  Forget about "an apple a day keeps the doc Away" Try Laughter instead!

So I hope you had at least about a dozen laughs yesterday. Today, we will see how  laughter affected your body. One of my readers commented that he laughed sometimes by himself. That is what Laughter Therapy is all about. Dr. Kateria from Mumbai, who started Laughter Clubs found that laughing without reason is the only way to sustain daily laughter. In India, people meet in the parks for half an hour laughter exercise before going to work. I must admit, it is quite a challenge to do it by oneself especially if others around are not aware of what you're doing or why you're doing it? However, not laughing daily had its negative consequences as I found out - it did lower my immune system.

Laughter does the following as research shows -
1. It lowers blood pressure.

2. It decreases the stress hormones.

3. It boosts the immune system by raising levels of infection-fighting cells.

4. It increases the proteins that fight diseases

5. It triggers the release of endorphins which are the body's natural pain-killers.
(Drs.Lee & Beck)
6.It empties the lungs more, resulting in a cleansing effect. Very beneficial for people with emphysema and other breathing or lung conditions and especially in the Flu Season.

7. As a cardiac exercise, a belly laugh is equivalent to jogging and as Norman Cousins stated, it is internal jogging.

For those who forgot what a Belly Laugh is, this little video might refresh your memories. And if you laugh more, memories become clearer!  So could you answer these couple of questions? 1.Name a few types of laughter?

Energy Medicine & H1N1 Virus 2

 So how does fear, anxiety and paranoia break down the immune system? If you read my last year's posts, negative emotion triggers and releases the stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Fear and anxiety keeps the body in a perpetual state of alert and wears down the immune system.

How do you strengthen your Immune System naturally for any viral attack?
We spoke about nutrition, hygenic precautions and the rest in the previous post. In continuation, we must take care of our lymphatic system, which is twice the size of our circulatory system. Unlike the latter, it does not have the heart to promote its circulation! You know what happens when the heart's pumping action is compromised? So when the lymphatic circulation is compromised and lymph is not draining properly, you have stagnant waste material in different parts of your body.That is a neon light invitation to viruses, bacteria and the like to come and visit!.

In order for the Lymphatic System to be open and move freely, it relies on Muscular Movement, Gravity and Breathing, not any breathing but Deep Breathing.
1.Deep Breathing massages the thoracic duct to empty the lymph nodes there.

2. Exercise -Rebounding on a trampoline is another excellent way to stimulate the Lymphatic System. Don't forget your daily 5minute Energy Boosting Exercises. In fact during this season, do it two or three times a day!

Remember those Stress Hormones are reduced by regular exercises. If you think I'm an exercise enthusiast, well look at what Health Canada stated recently:-
" recommend regular workouts as part of the strategy against H1N1"

3. Laugh daily - it creates a cocktail of happy hormones that strengthens your immune system. Just remember to Deep Breathe between Laughs. This is one cocktail that you can get drunk on and still wake up in the morning very happy.

However, CAUTION -  Extreme forms of exercise are not recommended during this Flu Season. Extreme like running marathons and spending several hours of rigarous gym workouts.These tend to decrease white blood cells and increase Stress Hormones.  Another precaution is excerising outdoors in the cold, as the cold can further irritate inflammed bronchial pathways.*When using the trampoline or any other exercise equipment, please follow the safety precautions given.

So use your CS,  eat healthy, increase vit. C, drink at least 8 glasses of water, deep breathe, exercise (unless you have a fever), laugh much and the little viruses will find your body - a literal fortress!

Energy Healing & H1N1 Virus

     When people talk about the H1N1 virus, I detect Fear, be it on the mediia or the internet or just people around the city. No one wants a Pandemic! News reporting mortality rate is contributing to the cause of the fear! Negative Attitude and feelings are another thing I have noticed. Actually,that is why H1N1 is so newsworthy, because it makes one feel negative, fearful and anxious and paranoid. This in turn affects your natural immune system. If you read any posts in my blog, you know what's coming next, don't you?

Energy Medicine strengthens the Immune System.Your Immune System will be enhanced by some of the energy techniques - a sample is given on the posts written a few weeks ago.  However, some common precautions from allopathic medicine also helps. They are

1. Handwashing, after touching doors, chairs, knobs in public. Cleaning all frequently touched areas in your house.
2. Use the proper way when sneezing.
3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water. Cut down on sweet drinks and caffeine!
4. Increase amounts of fruits and vegetables and make sure they are washed thoroughly.
5.Have enough rest - 8 hours of sleep!
6.Stay away from crowded places, especially if you have some symptoms.
There are many others. Perhaps my readers would like to share.

Next week, I will like to share how anxiety, fear and paranoia, breaks down the immune system.

"You are a Latticework of energy "

The above, a quote from Donna Eden who wrote Energy Medicine and she is referring to each one of us, without any exceptions. Really no need for channeling, is there?.
Tonight, I heard an interview with Donna Eden, my guru of Energy Medicine, not just practicing and writing about it, she also has made it her crusade to teach and demonstrate energy medicine to the masses.Energy works without you willing it or thinking about it but stressors in your life play a crucial part in the energy system of your body. Remember we are working with two main energies, positive or negative which is also lack of!

Look at your hand. It is electromagnetic and that is why you sometimes feel the energy running through your system, as if you had touched a live socket.It's is referred to as static shock.
Are you able to read the energy in yourself and others? You should and again this needs some practice.
We can feel our energies and those of others. Have you heard this expression, " I had a gut feeling this would happen." Intuition, which many of us have abandoned to our detriment. Intuition, when fine tuned can be a useful tool to read our energies.

Some people are able to see energies that circulate in and out of the body with spirals and weaves. Have you noticed how a baby when held, looks around the person. That baby sees the energies, so does the child but the teens and adult do not see it. Why? We let that skill lie dormant as it was not what the adults were talking about or perhaps the child was told frequently, it was the imagination or a dream etc.

An experiment conducted by Donna had a group of parents in a small town, talk about energies to their babies and children ; years later, when these were teenagers, they were still able to see the energies around different people. There are so many examples which I might mention in future posts, if you request it.( onc involved a surgeon in a busy hospital) *1



In March I had a 7 day challenge on this blog in which several bloggers took part. I gave them the exercises below. Please visit the posts and read their revealing comments. There were three posts and you could find it under Energy Medicine - 7 day challenge.


1. Be thankful for what you DO have! You have a roof over your head. You do have some good health, a good bed to sleep on, Your intelligence! What about family and friends?
I find it good to give thanks in the morning when I awake.

2. Make a funny face in front of the washroom mirror and laugh for about 5 minutes, while doing your bathroom routine, after that, take 3 long slow deep breaths. You could continue laughing while you're doing your bathroom routine. Caution - don't laugh while shaving, guys! You can smile.

3.Cut back your intake of negative news from newspapers, radio,television or the Internet.You are protesting,"I want to be current on the news". You will not miss much - "Bad" news travel fast". Put on some lively or soothing music according to your preferences.

4. Look for the good news! They travel slowly. Also look for the good things you see around you on the street, at work and at home and smile. Spend at least one hour quality time with yourself or your family. Accentuate the positive.

5. Find positive things to say at work or home. Tactfully change the subject if negative ones crop up in your conversations and discussions. Accentuate the Positive.


6. Watch comedies or funny shows on TV or at the movies! Invest in a book of jokes.
Read a couple of pages a day. Cut out "Funny Pictures or Cartoons"
Stick them on areas like your work station, fridge, TV, to remind you to smile.
Brisk exercise for 20 minutes or laughing exercises for 20 minutes.
Laughing for 20 minutes including belly laughs is equivalent to an hour's jog.

7. In the evening, give thanks for your day and look forward to the next one

In the next post, I will give you some of the ways of boosting your Energy System, which in turn will boost your immune system and general health. Anyone interested in doing another 7 day challenge, please let me know in the comment section.

I'll leave the last word to Donna as she stated in this evening's interview about Energy Medicine. An eye opening statement don't you think during this time of all the flu viruses floating around??.

" It turns around Vulnerability to Strength!" (Donna Eden)

Agapelife/P Nicholas

Energy Healing and Attitude

What is the connection, you might ask? Is there a connection?
        Firstly let us define Energy Healing? Each of us have energy emanating from our body. This is our energy system. When our energy is vibrant, we act, think and function optimally. However, when any part of energy system is blocked, our health, vitality and clarity of mind is affected. "Energies most pertinent to energy medicine are electrical energies, elecromagnetic energies and subtle energies."*1

       Secondly - the definition of attitude - a considered disposition or reaction to a person or a thing or a way of regarding or a posture. Attitudes can be Positive, eg. optimism or Negative eg. ingratitude. I am sure you can find many other attitudes that fit in the positive or negative columns.

       The attitude of gratitude lifts your energy. So does optimism.Studies have shown that people who hold positive expectations instead of anticipating negative outcomes have better overall health. Also, people who meditate regularly have a higher degreee of strength and resilience *2

       How does attitude help with the employment situation?  People with positive attitudes are more open to possibilities and opportunities, whereas a negative attitude does just the opposite. Many inventors and successful entrepreneurs tried and tried many, many times before they achieved success. Imagine if the Wright brothers gave up after they experienced some major failures, we would not be traveling by planes. What if Edison's, and Bell's failures stopped them from inventing what we have taken for granted in our lives today?

        Many of our attitudes have been learned since we were children or after certain recurring experiences. In energy healing or energy medicine, we can re-learn those attitudes that will bring optimal health to our body, mind and spirits. Some effort is involved and support from others who are on the same  road  is strongly recommended. Finding a good energy practitioner is also a boon. However, the reward will permeate not only your physical, mental  and social health but also your wealth. You will begin to see yourself transforming from a needy person to an empowering person!

Revitalizing Energy Therapy (RET)- Is it for you?

How do you know if Energy Medicine is for you?

If you have tried all forms or most forms of conventional medicine and your condition or disease has not been cured!
If conventional medicine has given you only temporary relief!
If you seem to have many side-effects from conventional medicine.
If the side-effects from conventional medicine appears to be worse than the disease itself.
If You are Sick and Tired of being Sick And Tired all the time.
If you really want to get well and there are no repercussions to being Healthy and Well? If you think this is strange, there are some people who feel that sickness is the only way they can receive attention or caring.

If any of the above fit you, then you are ready for Energy Medicine.

Beneath the Singapore Sky -3

As an author in the 21st Century, one has to wear many hats - writing is not enough. Editing, marketing and managing one's book reading and signing schedules is essential to make your book known. I still consider all these facets, interesting.

More updates on the Beneath the Singapore Sky
There will be a book signing on the 8 August (this Saturday) at BOOKSTOP in the Barrhaven, Nepean location from 1pm - 3 pm.

I am also finalizing a book signing in downtown Toronto for mid-September. What about your sequel, you might well ask?? I am writing a few pages every week due to all the distractions, like book signing, marketing, etc. (LOL).
Beneath the Singapore Sky - 4 onwards will be in my new blog TransformYourLife, which showcases my writing journey, novels, fiction & non-fiction interviews etc, etc. If you enjoy it, let me know!
