Crystals Associated with Forgiveness

The power behind Earth's minerals can be felt the minute you put a

crystal in your hands or near your physical body. Crystals are the

treasures of the earth. These stones are filled with energy to be used.

Some of the best crystals for forgiveness include Alabaster, Apache's

Tears, Chrysocolla, Lepidolite, Rhodochrosite and Rose Quartz.

Properties: Alabaster has been around for centuries. In fact, ancient

Egyptian alabaster carvings were found in king Tutankhamen's tomb. The

ancient Chinese and Greeks also carved alabaster. Alabaster is a

" drawing " stone meaning it has the ability to draw things to you or to

draw things away from you, depending on what your needs are. It works

wonderfully for drawing things of the Spirit to you, White alabaster

summons the spiritual. Because alabaster is so soft, it does best with

a sun's cleansing. It can also draw forgiveness, whether it be you that

needs self forgiveness or the ability to forgive someone that has done

you wrong. It also draws energy from other stones as well, meaning you

can " soak " up the energy of one stone and have the properties of both

stones with you while only carrying the alabaster. It helps to draw

anger out of a person and to release it.

Why Should We Forgive?

The need to understand the power and place of forgiveness in our world

is important in the healing process. It is urgent that we examine the

steps that lead to justice and strengthen society. We need to

understand how forgiveness improves the human condition. How do we

choose to forgive? What are the effects of holding grudges and seeking

revenge? We can find a way to balance our need for security with the

potential for granting forgiveness.

Forgiveness offers the possibility of two types of peace: peace of mind

-- the potential healing of old emotional wounds, and peace with others

-- the possibility of new, more gratifying relationships in the future.

Tools For Forgiveness

The need to understand the power and place of forgiveness in our world

is important in the healing process. See humility as forgiveness. Your

own sense of peace and contentment are born out of forgiveness. How and

when you forgive, reflects much of the way you view yourself and the

world around you. Consider these reasons and tools for forgiving:

1. Our ability to forgiven is in direct proportion to our ability to receive forgiveness.

2. When we are able to forgive all parts of ourselves, this allows us

to be that much more perfect and whole. This in turn helps us to

forgive others for any past mistakes.

3. Remember: mistakes come from good people who from time to time made some bad choices.

4. Judgments, resentments and grudges are destructive emotions. When

left unchecked, unresolved or not under control, they can wash away the

foundation of any relationship.

5. A wake-up call is in order! Talk it out. Resolve issues, disputes

and misunderstanding by expressing your feelings in a calm, well

thought out, civil conversation. Preferably in person.

6. When we hurt ourselves we hurt each other. Learn to forgive yourself

by releasing your guilt. Learn to forgive others by letting go of your

ego.

7. Remind yourself that we live in each other's hearts and when we look

at ourselves we see each other. When we love each other we love

ourselves more.

8. Learn to understand the relief you gain from forgiveness.

9. Step up to the plate and speak your peace.

10. Forgiving is the ultimate in acceptance of yourself and others. It revels a path to our true selves.
