IntuitiveBridges - Alan Bridges

This past week I intuitively assessed a man who came to me regarding problems with his health. He, like so many of my clients, had been to his doctor who could find nothing wrong. He then sought out some specialist who similarly gave him a clean bill of health. Yet he still felt something was wrong and decided that perhaps it was time to try something “a bit off the beaten track” (his words).

As with all my clients, I took his name and date of birth. I cleared my mind, tuned in to his energy and allowed the impressions to start to flow. Immediately, I saw scenes in which people were cheating him or trying to take things from him. In some of these instances they were successful. But that was a long time ago. Now he was very cautious and protective of himself and his dealings with others.

Throughout the assessment, those initial images kept coming back again and again. And they became brighter and more intense when I tuned into his chest area or the region of the Fourth Chakra. I asked him whether he considered himself a forgiving man. Absolutely not, was his immediate and quite sharp response. I replied that he should reconsider his position.

Whenever I suggest that someone should forgive another who wronged them, I’m usually met with a mixture of anger and indignation. I’m frequently told that if I knew what that person had done to them, I wouldn’t dare suggest it. More times than not, I see exactly what has happened. It’s never pretty. Sometimes it even borders the horrific. And yet, it is always something that needs to be let go of.

Forgiveness is always a touchy subject when it comes up in my assessments. The primary reason is that I feel people misunderstand what it’s all about. The need for forgiveness arises when someone (even possibly ourselves) do something that we don’t like or that in some way injures or harms us. We blame that person. And if given the opportunity, we’d jump at the chance to get even or, put differently, to pay them back for what they did.

The shadow side of our soul craves revenge and retribution. We are all familiar with the biblical reference of an eye for an eye. We don’t appreciate what that person did to us, putting it mildly, and we are biding our time until we can right their wrong. We all know the feeling. And deep down inside we know that motivations of personal vengeance are wrong. Yet few of us ever let go of such resentment.

When we hold on to the transgressions of others, we hold on to our wounds. It’s always a past event – even if it’s continuing, it started in the past. And when we remain angry and blame that person, it’s as if we have taken some of our energy and given it to that person. It’s literally like leaving a piece of our soul at the scene of the crime.

Now I can guarantee you that you’re holding on to more than one such crime. So, I ask you to stop yourself for a second and consider how much energy, or pieces of your soul, aren’t with you here and now because you’ve left them scattered around where people wronged you.

When those pieces get to a critical mass, you don’t have enough energy for yourself. Your body will start to starve from an energetic perspective. And problems arise. Frequently, this is when illness comes knocking.

So, how do you retrieve your energy and become whole again? You forgive. To be sure, it’s not a simple task. It’s a challenge. And challenges are rarely easy. But it’s actually easier than many people assume. You see, forgiveness isn’t tantamount to saying that what that person did to you was okay. Forgiveness is not about condoning. In fact, forgiveness has very little to do with the person being forgiven.

When we forgive someone, we act in our own best interests. It’s actually a self-centred and appropriately selfish act. Forgiveness is a conscious expression that we are ready to resume control over our lives. When we forgive, we take back our power from the person who hurt us. We stop them from continuing to hurt us. We let go. We move on. We heal.

When we forgive, we stop seeing ourselves as victims and elevate ourselves as victors. We then retrieve our energy and part of our soul from the past and pull it back to us in the present moment. While this might seem merely symbolic, this complex act of higher consciousness affects us energetically and biologically.

True and genuine acts of forgiveness can bring about miracles.

When I encounter clients who need to address their inability to forgive and move on, I work with them offering them techniques and tools to release their resentment. It’s something that always comes up in a Medical Intuitive Assessment. But more often than not, we know if we need to become more forgiving. Holding on to past resentments causes us to lose energy and sooner or later will affect us – energetically and biologically.
