Dealing with Emotional Trauma through the Power of Forgiveness

One of the most discussed topics within the spiritual workshops in recent years relates to the ways and power of forgiveness and healing process after emotional trauma. Many workshop participants want to know what to do if they are not able to get rid of their entire emotional trauma during the healing session.

There is a way to heal yourself. It is called the power of forgiveness.

Once you get into your heart you can do it. Actually, the real power of forgiveness is happening just from your heart. If you do it outside of this sacred place it does not work. You can say “I forgive you” many times, but it doesn’t work. They are just empty words.

The subtle energies of your heart will do the work. Just go there and forgive yourself and your trespassers.

I had a student not too long ago who was involved in a terrible drama that left her with dreadful emotional trauma and continual nightmares. Basically, she was no longer the same person she used to be. Her parents also asked me what she could do to get over this. I looked into their eyes and told them the truth: she must forgive the people involved in that drama from the tiny space of her heart. I was met with silence when I told them this.

When this student looked into my eyes I could feel her pain, frustration, and anger. But I knew this was the only way to get over this. Using the power of forgiveness, she did it. As a result, she became another person. She told me that she felt as if she were born again–clean and shiny, a perfect human being; another life, basically.

Forgiveness can be a difficult process, but we must do it. We cannot cling to the past forever. We cannot have nightmares, emotional trauma, and all these dark, tormenting thoughts about others forever. Somebody once asked me: “Why me? Why did this happen to me?”



I told him that it is not relevant. There could be multiple causes: karmic, cleaning, passing an obstacle which brings you to a higher level of consciousness, etc., but it doesn’t really matter. The question is not “why” but “how?”

How can we clean it from our minds and get over it? Basically, we have to choose between sitting in frustration, grievance, and darkness forever, or creating a miracle. That is the choice: frustration or a miracle.

Beyond all the issues, problems, and emotional trauma we have had in our life there is hope and light. “Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.” This divine command is asking us to end the struggle with ourselves and understand that the attainment of greater and higher levels of spiritual values and true universal meanings are related with the power of forgiveness and holding unconditional love for the entire universe–organic and inorganic beings, seen and unseen.

Prior to seeking spiritual perfection, we must dig into the past and clean our waters. We must make peace with ourselves. Inside of our heart, it is possible to do this.

We can hardly hope to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is entirely possible for us, as human beings, being in the heart, to achieve our destiny in all that pertains to self-realization and mind-heart attainment. Such realization is final and complete if we use this powerful tool, forgiveness. It brings us harmony, peace, and a God-consciousness level.
