Hello, Friend!

What does EASTER mean to you?

Easter means Easter Egg hunts and chocolate Bunnies for some, Good Food and Family Visitis for others. And for still others, it means Church Services, a time of Worship and renewal. And, for some, it means all of the above. :-) And, I love seeing the children on their Easter egg hunts and then with their chocolate Easter eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies. Such a happy, precious time for innocent little children. 

But, for believers, eggs have a deeper meaning. Eggs symbolise new life, as Jesus began his new life after his resurrection on Easter Sunday, and cracked eggs are symbolic of an empty tomb.

For me, Easter is a time for contemplation, self awareness, self reflection, renewal, forgiveness, and new beginnings. If you are wondering if you have someone or something to forgive, ask yourself, "am I breathing?" Forgiveness is a process and a practice. You don't just decide to forgive one day and then that's the end of it. The issue(s) that need forgiveness will come up again and again so we forgive, again and again. Forgiveness is an ongoing process. 

To Forgive means to "give for"; to give up one perception for another more freeing, more liberating and life giving perception. A Course in Miracles says, that "to forgive is to remove a block in my awareness to love's presence." The block in me is being held by a resentment. 

Another way of working on forgiveness is to ask yourself, "Who am I "BEing? Am I being the person I want to BE? Am I harboring any resentments?"

Years ago, I didn't really undersand what a resentment was. And, a good friend of mine gave me a definition that was really eye opening for me. He said that a resentment is: "to re feel a hurt". Most anger comes from hurt - emotional pain. And, that comes from how we are perceiving things. But, we CAN choose to hold a different perception.

Friend, has someone you loved with all your heart and soul "betrayed", you? "Lied" to you? "Cheated" on you? "Stolen money" from you? Or, let you down in some way? Perhaps someone Disappointed you, Didn't live up to your expectations? Have you failed at achieving a worthy goal? Perhaps you feel you have let yourself down?

If you are holding on to any resentment, any past hurt or painful experience, you are only hurting yourself because resentment burns the vessel it is contained it. It is like holding a piece of hot coal, expecting to throw it at someone thinking that you won't get hurt, but meanwhile the hot coal is burning you. 

You CAN Choose another way! You can choose to forgive and to have another perception and to set yourself free. Ask youself, "If you had the same situation to live over again, would you handle it differently"? If yes, forgive and you are free to go. Forgiveness can be like daily hygiene where you take a shower and you start fresh. And as you go about your day, if the person or situation comes onto the streets of your mind, say, "I wish you well. I wish you well. And let it go."
