Today’s Miracle Moment Is The Miracle of Forgiveness…
You’ve been carrying it for so long, you forgot it wasn’t yours to carry.
That hurt. That betrayal. That disappointment in yourself.
We’re taught to believe forgiveness is about “letting them off the hook.” But here’s the truth: you’re the one on the hook.
And forgiveness? It’s not about them. It’s about you. It’s about setting yourself free.
What Forgiveness Really Means
Most people think forgiveness should feel soft and sweet—like everything is tied up with a neat little bow. But real forgiveness doesn’t always look that way.
Forgiveness doesn’t erase boundaries. It doesn’t excuse harmful behavior. And it certainly doesn’t mean you have to forget.
True forgiveness is an energetic release. It’s the choice to let go of the invisible ties of resentment, anger, or self-blame so that life can flow again.
As the ancient Hawaiians understood, all life is connected. When that connection is disrupted by hurt, nothing flows the way it’s meant to.
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing: Ho’oponopono
One of the most beautiful practices of forgiveness comes from the Hawaiian tradition: Ho’oponopono.
This simple yet powerful healing prayer includes four phrases:
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
For generations, Hawaiian families and communities gathered in circle to speak these words, share truth, and restore harmony. Years ago, my husband and I were blessed to participate in a Ho’oponopono ceremony with a Hawaiian kahuna. I asked her if it was okay for me to share this wisdom. She smiled and said, “Yes, please pass it on.”
So today, I pass it on to you.
Ho’oponopono can be practiced with any person or situation where forgiveness is needed—even if you never speak directly to them again. You’re not just saying the words to someone else; you’re speaking to the energy of the situation itself. It’s like energetic housecleaning: clearing what’s tangled, restoring harmony, and opening the flow of life again.
Forgiveness Across Traditions
Interestingly, this understanding isn’t limited to Hawaii. The Quakers, who founded America’s first penitentiaries, also believed in healing through reflection. They envisioned places of penitence—not punishment—where people could turn inward, feel genuine remorse, and emerge transformed.
Both traditions remind us: we are meant to be in harmony—with ourselves, with one another, and with the Divine.
When that harmony is broken, your energy gets tied up. Your manifestations slow down. Your peace disappears. But forgiveness restores the flow.
Forgiveness and Manifestation
Here’s what you need to know:
- When you hold onto resentment, you’re energetically tied to the past.
- When you forgive, you’re not condoning what happened—you’re choosing freedom.
- Forgiveness clears the energetic blocks that keep your dreams stuck.
The moment you stop carrying what was never yours to carry, your joy and manifestations begin to move again.
Try It Now: A Forgiveness Practice
Take a deep breath and bring to mind someone—or something—that still feels incomplete. It might be a person, a company, or even yourself.
Now gently repeat, either silently or out loud:
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
Notice how your heart feels after. Maybe lighter, more open, or even tender. Forgiveness is already working.
You Deserve to Be Free
Forgiveness doesn’t require their apology. It doesn’t require their permission. It doesn’t mean you have to reconcile or remove your boundaries.
Forgiveness means you are free. Free to love again. Free to create again. Free to live in the Miracle Zone.
So ask yourself:
✨ What am I ready to stop carrying?
✨ What hurt am I ready to release—not for them, but for me?
✨ What would my life look like if I were truly free?
Because forgiveness isn’t about what someone else deserves.
It’s about what you deserve.
And you deserve to be free.
