Forgiveness & Grace
The first relationship we must refine is the one we have with our Self.
I have developed many tools to help my clients through the clouds of doubt in their lives and recently a client who was having great difficulty with her relationships found it hard to forgive one particular person who had hurt her deeply.
After getting to the core of what was really the mountain in her way, we found a way for her to forgive herself first, and her feelings of hurt dissipated as though (her words) “the feelings were like thunder clouds passing so the sun could finally come out.”
Be yourself and help others to do the same.
~Gabriele Reign
The relationships we have with people in our lives (friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances or even strangers) can be transformed by simply directing our thoughts and feelings with grace. Forgiving others who we feel have hurt us can heal so many wounds. I adopted the process of Grace-Making® inspired by a story in the pages of a novel I was reading many years ago called “Wanderground Stories of the Hill Women” by Sally Miler Gearhart. When I came across this particular story, it became a powerful inspiration for many… When I use this process (as needed), relationships change, gracefully and powerfully.
I offer this process to help you heal old wounds and open up to the connections that are inspired from the depth within your heart. Grace-Making® is a healing process that has helped me to release the assumptions, limitations and judgments that come up and need to be healed. This made Gandhi’s words true for me: “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
The first time you do this, you may want to insert Your name in place of the asterisk to clear out anything that you may wish to forgive in yourself. When you move on to others in your life, insert their name at the asterisk…
GRACE-MAKING®
-- I center my awareness of * (person you’re thinking of or yourself). I pay close attention to envisioning the other wo/man, noting in my mind every detail of my memory of *, dwelling with care upon *’s temperament, upon *’s behavior, upon *’s intentions/motivations. I close my eyes and turn my awareness to each aspect of *. I feel myself fill with appreciation. I allow the feeling to overflow like clear water from a cup or a waterfall. I make a wide stream of the water and let it run over *’s head, drenching her/him with respect and care. When I come to be aware of the parts of * that I do not like – their boundless scattered energy or self-depleting way of seeing themselves or me for instance, I address * directly, attempting to establish contact with those parts, however unpleasant they are to me. To them I say simply “I see you and I don’t choose to praise you. As you are a part of *, I offer you, too, the care I send to *.
I take care not to enfold *, not to ask for *’s attention. My grace-making is the creation of a gift for the other, a gift of love and strength that * could reach for in a crisis. * may be having a number of crises lately, and could use a little grace.
I offer this attention, my vibration, only as it comes from my own fullness, never from any duty or obligation. I remind myself, “If I do not give from my overflow, then what I give is poison; so I give from the grace given to me, with and as love, to *.
This is Grace-Making® ~ you may want to put this in your own words, recorded your own voice, as a meditation when needed.
Sending love to ourselves, to another, or to many ~ is born from the holographic principle that we are all an equal piece of the whole…if each wo/man offers attention beyond what is needed, then caring energy will always be available to us all; well it is always available, but now let it be part of 0ur conscious awareness.

Now, go be the change you want to see in others…
