Relationships

" I fought every part of the course until the last two hours when the forgiveness process started dissolving 15 years of hurt and heaviness. You have allowed my true Self journey to begin and I will carry that gratitude with me on my path. Thank you."   W.H, Brighton

Nothing frees us from negative patterns in our relationships faster than forgiveness. How many relationships are made toxic by little misunderstandings and confusions which become solidified over time into insurmountable barriers to intimacy? Small things trigger big feelings which in turn lead to destructive and defensive behaviour. We become lost in what seems an impossibly complex web of rights and wrongs, hurts and antagonisms, proofs and pain. There seems to be no escape and we often find ourselves struggling on, shoulders hunched as if walking against a gale; or giving up and trying again, except this time we are a little more defensive, a little less hopeful!      There is another way!     It is remarkably simple, and only requires a little will power at first. Soon the results will speak for themselves, as forgiveness fuels itself. And you know what, forgiving someone else has a surprising side effect: We feel SO much better and SO much more in control! Just imagine what forgiving ourselves can do!

tfw1 teaches a new way to use forgiveness 'on the spot' and release ourselves immediately from our habitual reactions and discomfort. Just as when we notice our hands are dirty, we wash them: so when we notice ourselves feeling toxic we can forgive. There will always be an opportunity to forgive when we feel reactive. After a short time, as we realise we are not slaves to old patterns, we begin to heal our relationships. We let go of our end of the rope and the tug of war cannot continue!

Not only does theforgivenessworks show us how to free ourselves from harmful dynamics in a way that has to be experienced to be believed, it also demonstrates how these relationships are the road to our happiness!

We are at the centre of our web of relationships and old patterns are sent back and forth through the strands of this web. As we change what we send out through the use of quick and regular forgiveness, the whole nature of the web changes and we begin to receive the amazing benefits of our own practise! Benefits include:

• The ability to release ourselves from conflict - as soon as we notice what's happening
• New faith in our own power.
• Renewed capability to give and receive love.
• Freedom to speak our truth in a way that can be heard.
• The ability to gauge which relationships can work and which can't.
• The creation of exciting new relationships( with new people or old!) in which we are honoured, respected and valued for who we are.
