Press Release Summary = The connection you feel when you 'plug in\' to this oneness is the most irresistible state of love you will ever feel. Makes it sound like it\'s worth the effort doesn\'t it? Maybe you\'ve had glimpses of this - moments when you felt it, and your heart expanded. The beauty of nature in a spectacular sunset or a magnificent rushing waterfall, a child\'s innocent embrace, a long awaited accomplishment, an exhilarating sport or excursion, being with the one you love.
Press Release Body = I asked my client if she felt that anyone other than herself, was responsible for, and capable of, making her happy. After a rather long and convoluted discussion, she said that when it was all said and done, she realized that she was indeed the only one that could make herself happy.
We sat there together for a while, and then I took a deep breath and suggested that my client do so as well. Here is an idea, I said. \"What if as a totally selfish act, done simply for your own personal happiness, you decided to go ahead and let go of the resentment you had towards your mom, so that you would no longer need to have resentment clouding your life. What would that be like?\" \"You would not be saying that what was done to you was OK. You would simply be letting go of the resentment so that your own life would be happier. Would you want to let go of your resentment if it meant you would feel greater happiness?\"
We sat there together for a while and my client\'s face softened. She said that if she was able to let go of her resentment, it would be like lifting a weight from her shoulders, and removing a dark cloud from her heart.
\"With all you have been through,\" I said. \"With all of the pain you have suffered, wouldn\'t it be a wonderful gift to yourself if you could lift this weight from your shoulders and remove the dark cloud from your heart? Would it not be wonderful to be freed from your hurt and resentment?\"
She sat there for a while, as tears formed, and she said very softly \"Yes, I want to feel good. I want to feel love. I want to feel free.\"
\"So\" I said, \"In order to free yourself from pain and open your heart to love, you would be willing to go so far as to forgive your mother if this is what you felt was necessary for your own personal happiness?\" She was somewhat hesitant, but said \"Yes.\" \"Remember\" I said, \"I am suggesting that you do this purely for selfish reasons. Not because you want to actually forgive your mom at this point in time, but because you want to free yourself to live a happier life.\" My client said \"Yes, when it is said like this, I have the resolve to forgive my mother, in order to free myself to live a happier life.\" \"Good I said. \"Hold these thoughts and feelings in your heart for a while and then we can talk about how to actually accomplish your forgiving.\"
How about you? Are you holding onto any resentment? Are you ready to recapture your happiness? Would you be willing to undertake the radical act of forgiveness in order to free yourself? I certainly hope so.
And if not today, maybe tomorrow.
