Soothe & Nurture Yourself Towards Forgiveness

Our Divine Download for November 1, 2024 is Oshun/Forgiveness from The Legendary Ladies Oracle Goddess Deck. Oshun, the Yoruba Goddess of Forgiveness shows up for you when you've been hurt, and you need help to soothe and nurture your heart so that you can forgive. Forgiveness is the gift that we give to ourselves, so be willing to let this loving goddess guide you through your pain towards forgiveness. Love for yourself will free you from any hurt or even agony associated with past pain. When we find it challenging to forgive it is often because we are making the situation and our emotions about the other person and there is some part of our ego-based mind that believes if we hold on to the pain, the sorrow, the anger, etc. that we are holding one over on the person that we need to forgive. But we're not. The truth is that they do not know, and will never fully understand our emotional experience. In situations where we may have caused pain, even and especially when not on purpose, we also need to be willing to forgive ourselves because holding ourselves in non forgiveness just produces more suffering and more pain. So the common denominator within the inability or unwillingness to forgive, is that we hurt ourselves further in the process by doing so. And that's no good. We must extend the same grace to ourselves as we would be willing to extend to others, if not even more. We must be willing to stop carrying the burden and the additional pain of unforgiveness and stop punishing ourselves in this way. The only thing that it accomplishes is that it typically causes us to experience even more pain and misery and all of the things that we didn't want to feel (that we may need to forgive another for) to begin with. So if you are struggling with forgiveness, call on Oshun and ask for her help, her guidance, and her support whether it is the actual act of forgiving yourself or another, or the soothing and nurturing you need to surround yourself with in order to prime your forgiveness pump. She's got you!

Forgiveness is often easier said than done and we carry the harsh energies when we don't forgive (ourselves or others) in our body.
