Sometimes it is hard to bury the hatchet and make peace with someone – even more so if you still need to keep your distance for your own mental/spiritual health or safety. Remember, forgiveness can be just as much for you as for the other person. You can forgive someone in your heart without a lot of fuss or fanfare.
Blessings!
PEACE PIPE
NATIVE SPIRIT WISDOM: In native traditions, sharing a peace pipe filled with sacred tobacco and herbs was a way of finding common ground and dropping discord. It was a respite in order to calmly assess a situation and find a peaceful resolve. There are times to carefully mend bridges with people, situations, and places. This is one of those healing times. Maybe there is a wound inside you that needs to be forgiven or accepted. Maybe you need to forgive yourself or forgive another. Transform the inner grievance. Do it now. You don’t need to forgive the act, but there’s power in forgiving the person. You no longer need to carry it with you. Perhaps there is a person from your past with whom you should reconnect. You know what you need to do. This is the time to do it.
THE JOURNEY: Write down the answer to these questions: If there was an area of my life to which I need to bring peace, what might it be? What’s the first step that I need to take forward resolving rift with another or a feeling unfinished regarding a person or situation? Now, take action.
