As we move into heart chakra we find that we can take a breather from our own self-importance. We start to recognize that there are things happening around us of which we are no part. If person at grocery store is in a bad mood we do not spend rest of day in a huff or wondering what we did to them. We can simply acknowledge that they are having a bad day and get on with rest of our day.

So what does all that have to do with forgiveness?

Everything! You see it is very rare that someone coldly and calculatingly sets out to hurt us. Usually their actions come from thoughtlessness and not a deliberate act to harm you. We all have our faults and failings as well as our good points. It is all part of being human and playing this game we call life.

If someone has hurt us or let us down it is probably because of their own insecurities and lack of self worth. They are not trying to hurt you but make themselves feel better about themselves. For example, if a spouse has an affair it is usually because they are desperately searching for something to bolster their flagging egos. It is not to hurt their spouse. They are trying to find something they fear is missing in their life. (This is not to say that I am condoning affairs in anyway or that you should stay or leave a partner who has cheated on you. That is entirely up to you.)

When we come from heart chakra we can take a step back and not take things so personally. We can take a look at what has happened and why. Then we can decide what we wish to do about a situation without getting all caught up in emotion of it.

There's no way to fake INTEGRITY. You are either are IN INTEGRITY offering a PURE positive vibration which Law of Attraction responds to. Or you're OUT of INTEGRITY which creates a negative or mixed vibration, which Law of Attraction cannot ignore.

Here's a real-life story which demonstrates what happens to our vibration when we are out of INTEGRITY.

I was feeling pretty upbeat after our coaching session yesterday and really excited about winning a prize pack from radio station. After picking up my prize, I noticed Spyware, an electronics store, and decided to go in and compare prices with an item I had just bought from Radio Shack yesterday. Spyware had exact same item on sale for $10.00 less so I bought it with intention of returning first item to Radio Shack. When I compared two products they were exactly same, with exact same bar codes and packaging. However, I noticed cheaper item had one wire a couple centimeters shorter than more expensive item.

I made a decision to return item with shorter wire (the one purchased at Spyware) back to Radio Shack and keep original item. Thus saving $10.00 but keeping better product.

After clerk had finished all paperwork I felt extremely guilty. But then I rationalized it was too late to do anything about it and told myself I would just have to let this guilt go. What a way to bring my high vibration to a crashing halt. I reminded myself that this is why I shouldn't do things like this in first place because not only can I not live with guilt but now it is a double whammy because I'm so aware of my vibration and this is bringing it way down.

Anytime we do something that is not in alignment with our core values, we feel negative emotions which hinder us from receiving real desires of our heart.

The antidote is simple: be honest, pay all debts, return what you've borrowed, speak kindly about others and keep your word. In other words, do nothing that will hinder flow of pure positive energy toward you. Be true to your self an you'll open way for receiving everything that will make you happy.
