Challenge No 5

This challenge is about FORGIVENESS. Shifting & letting go of stale, negative emotions and energy associated with a past friendship.

Forgiveness, and being able to let go of grudges, will set you free in the most amazing ways

The Challenge: Contact an old friend that you haven’t spoken to in a while.   Maybe you had some conflict with this person in the past… maybe you ‘released’ this person from your life because of something they did or said.  Maybe they didn’t support you enough, or perhaps you just suddenly stopped talking or spending time with them, for no big reason at all.

I think most of us have experienced being ‘dumped’ as a friend, and we have also been on the other side, and just suddenly stopped talking or spending time with someone – we suddenly ended a friendship.

One of our human traits is that we seem to be able to ‘let go’ of people very easily –  especially when they may not have lived up to our own expectations.

Maybe this person did something that disappointed you, and when you think back now it seems very trivial.  Maybe you just ‘released’ them from your life for reasons you can’t even remember today.  Whatever the reason, this is an opportunity to forgive this person, and yourself,  for any past mistakes and shift that stale energy.  The action of making contact can be a great first step.

Contact this person (maybe an email or phone call for the super courageous!) with the motivation to forgive and release any old negative emotions and energetic ties –  and with a sincere wish to say ‘hi’ – you were thinking about them, and you hope their life is going well.

You may get a response from them, or you may not.  That person may be so delighted that you may even rekindle the friendship you once had.

By taking the step to make contact, and letting that person know there are no hard feelings on your end, you will be helping them to let go of their own pain and hurt as well.  It does hurt when someone we thought was a great friend, suddenly doesn’t want to spend time with us anymore.

This is an opportunity for you to shift old, stagnant energy related to anger, resentment, disappointment or any other negative emotions or events you may have experienced with a past friendship.

If you no longer have this persons contact details, try to find it.  Google their name and they may come up on facebook or another social networking site.  Maybe someone else knows how to get in contact with them?

Great human beings can forgive…
