WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?
Ask yourself, what do you really want? Punishment or peace? Imprisonment or freedom?
If it is peace you really want, then forgiveness offers us that – if it is freedom, then forgiveness offers us that too!
WHY FORGIVE?
Why we should forgive, when the other doesn’t deserve to be forgiven, and why should we be forgiven when what we did was so dreadfully unforgivable?
In forgiving we are not condoning what was done in the past, rather we are liberating ourselves from the bondage of carrying the past. Why stay stuck in pain and suffering when it’s our birth-right to be at peace now?
EGOIC UNFORGIVENESS
Forgiveness doesn’t mean action can’t be taken if and when appropriate. Where it is our duty or responsibility to take action, we take it, but without any draining emotional encumbrance. Forgiveness releases us from the mental and emotional regurgitation that the old personality self, the Ego, revels in. For the Ego, unforgiveness further strengthens its sense of a separate self. The Ego can be observed as that aspect of self which continually needs to retell its personal story, and it does so with much emotional immersion.
WHEN TO FORGIVE
Forgiveness (the letting go of…) is within our power in this very moment. It is just a choice, a choice between living in fear (false evidence appearing real), or peace. This choice is the end of suffering. Why delay this any longer? Forgiveness is such a powerful tool in self-liberation, and, surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the other person. Forgiveness is something you do for yourself, and to untie the karmic bond between you and the other. Do it now.
OPENING OUR HEARTS
Forgiveness opens our hearts once more, allows love and even joy to flow freely. Forgiveness of ourselves and of others, brings us the freedom we seek in the here and now.
Forgiveness is not so much a “doing” as it is a surrender—a gentle dropping of the story. It is the act of releasing what no longer serves us, lightening our burden, and opening the way for healing on all levels. Through forgiveness, we step forward into the newness life offers now—with greater ease, grace, and flow.
FORGIVENESS = BALANCE
Forgiveness is to dissolve any misperceptions, bring perception back into balance. True forgiveness is to reach the point of knowing that everything always was, is, and will be, in perfect balance at a higher level. This journey may require us to reframe events from a higher perspective of consciousness. If we really want peace, and who doesn’t, then this is the path we must commit ourselves fully to.
KARMA
Karma is a Universal law of Balance. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap”. Every action, thought and emotion we create sets into motion an opposite and equal energetic reaction, which has to be balanced in time and space.
GOOD NEWS
It’s reassuring to know that only the consciousness – or unconsciousness – that originally set the energy in motion is bound by its resulting karma. From my understanding, the soul is a vortex of mind and time, a frequency of energy. It is this energetic pattern that remains bound by karma until it shifts into a different rate of frequency—liberating itself and moving into a new state of being.
RELEASING KARMA
As we shift our consciousness to higher levels of frequency, we shed the old vibrations of karma, and step into a new frequency of soul resonance. We literally are born again in spirit. The old boomerang energies of karma that were set in motion by our lower frequency soul-body are then, either attenuated downward to a softer version, or are even no longer applicable in any way to the new level of soul experience.
GRATITUDE IS FULL FORGIVENESS
True forgiveness is when we are able to feel gratitude in our hearts for all people and events in our life, even the most difficult ones – recognising there is a sacred gift of balancing karma, soul growth and experience in all events if we would choose to see it.

Join Us for a Transformational Retreat…
Step into a sacred space where together we shall explore the Heart of Being and awaken to a deeper sense of presence. Through powerful processes, practical tools, and quiet time in nature, we’ll gently dissolve lingering blockages and release old patterns of hurt and guilt – making way for profound healing and a lasting sense of peace. This retreat is an invitation to reconnect, realign, and move forward with clarity, ease, and grace. More details below.
THE POWER OF PRESENCE
Presence has the power to dissolve the past karmic patterns. Dr Joe Dispenza has clearly documented in numerous scientific studies how Presence actually rewires the brain, creating changes in neuropeptides and physical cell growth, but more importantly, he has demonstrated how this change in vibration impacts of the primal field of reality from which our lives are created. By spending time with us in Retreat you will experience first-hand this power.
Remember this: Your Point of Power lies in the Present.
While it was our self-created ‘past mind self’ that has created our lives up to this point, now is the time to shift those old patterns and step into a brand new you.
