Healing Through Forgiveness & Energetic Transmutation

Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood and underutilized portals to healing. It is not a moment of forgetting, it is a process of remembering who you truly are beneath the weight of old pain. Forgiveness is a sacred transmutation. It allows your energy to return to wholeness. It invites your soul to take the lead.

So often, we are taught that forgiveness means we must accept or excuse another’s behavior. But true soul-led forgiveness is never about denying your experience. It is about honoring it fully and choosing, in your own time, to no longer let that experience define your energy, your heart, or your light.
This kind of forgiveness does not bypass the wound—it meets it. It holds space for grief, confusion, heartbreak, and anger. It allows all of it to rise to the surface, to be felt and seen. Then, with grace, it begins to shift.
What Happens When We Hold On
Unforgiveness—whether conscious or deeply buried—affects every part of our being. It isn’t just emotional—it’s somatic, mental, spiritual, and energetic. When emotional pain is left unprocessed, the body holds onto it, the mind rehearses it, the spirit grows distant, and your energetic field begins to take on a density that dims your natural light.
Physically, the nervous system enters a prolonged state of stress response. You may experience:
Chronic fatigue or adrenal exhaustion from staying in fight-or-flight
Digestive discomfort, gut tension, or loss of appetite
Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, jaw, or hips
Shortness of breath or shallow breathing patterns
Difficulty sleeping, or waking up with tightness in the chest or clenched fists
Mentally, your cognitive patterns begin to shift around the unhealed pain:
Obsessive thinking or mental looping, especially around the situation or person
Difficulty concentrating or retaining information
An inner dialogue filled with doubt, judgment, or fear
Anxiety around vulnerability, openness, or new experiences
Emotionally, you may feel:
Sudden overwhelm or emotional shutdown
Periods of emotional numbness where nothing feels deeply joyful
Strong emotional reactions that don’t match the current moment
A recurring undercurrent of guilt, shame, or unworthiness
Spiritually, unhealed pain clouds your connection with the Divine:
Difficulty accessing clear, intuitive guidance
A feeling that your spiritual practice is “off” or less nourishing
Inability to feel your light or trust your purpose
Resistance to being fully present with your higher self
These symptoms are not signs of failure—they are signals from your body and spirit, asking to be seen, heard, and held in love.
When you acknowledge the depth of what’s happening, healing becomes possible. Because awareness creates choice. And choice opens the door to your return.
The Depth of Forgiveness: More Than Just Others
One of the most overlooked aspects of true forgiveness is that it isn’t only about others. Sometimes, the person we struggle most to forgive is ourselves.
We carry regret over choices we made from survival, not from the clarity we have after. We hold onto shame about staying too long, leaving too soon, or not speaking up when we needed to. We replay memories where we weren’t fully aligned with our truth and let those moments define us. This becomes a quiet, internal punishment that affects how deeply we can receive love, rest, abundance, and healing.
But, forgiveness MUST include you.
Forgiveness of yourself is not about excusing your past—it’s about meeting your past with compassion. It’s about saying:
“I forgive myself for what I didn’t know then.”
“I see how I was doing my best with the tools and awareness I had.”
“I offer love to the parts of me that were still learning how to feel safe.”
This is essential.
Forgiveness also applies to situations, not just people. We often hold resentment toward experiences:
The loss of a dream
The betrayal that shifted your path
The unexpected change that altered your life
The childhood you wish had been different
These events leave energetic residue. The nervous system responds by building defenses. And while the mind may rationalize what happened, the body remembers.
When you can bring forgiveness and compassion to these situations—not trying to erase what occurred, but to release the energy still held around them—you free yourself from being tethered to a version of the past that no longer matches who you are.
This is when the light begins to return. This is when your nervous system softens. This is when your soul breathes deeper.
Forgiveness is expansive. It reaches into every corner of your experience and says: There is nothing unworthy of love here.
Meeting Pain with Presence
Healing doesn’t ask you to rush. It asks you to be with what arises.
The process of forgiveness begins when we are willing to sit with our pain, not always needing to analyze it, but to feel it with compassion. To acknowledge that the wound mattered. That it left an impact. And that your system did what it needed to do in order to survive.
Avoidance and suppression may offer short-term protection, but they prevent long-term healing. True forgiveness invites the energy to move. It lets the stuck, heavy, unresolved emotions finally flow.
You may need to cry. You may need to rage. You may need to speak what was never spoken aloud. This is sacred. This is healing. Nothing must be forced. Every feeling that rises is there to be witnessed, understood, and loved back into light.
When Forgiveness Comes in Layers
There are times we feel complete with something—an old situation, a person, or a wound we thought had healed. We’ve done the work, spoken our truth, and even found peace. But then, life brings us another layer. A new piece of information. A familiar dynamic reappears. An unexpected trigger.
This happened to me just this past weekend. A situation I had already processed on many levels came back into view—but with new clarity. I found myself feeling the ache again. And in that moment, I knew I had a choice: shut down and react… or go inward and ask deeper questions.
I placed my hand over my heart and asked:
“How can I heal this?”
“How can I approach the situation through the love of the Christ Frequency?”
“How can I understand this at a new level?”
“What is available to me now that wasn’t available before?”
What I felt was immediate. A wave of compassion. Not just for the other, but for myself. For the version of me who had carried this quietly. For the version of me who was now ready to let it be seen through a more loving lens.
These moments are invitations. They do not mean we’re failing—they show us we’ve become strong enough to meet something deeper. To see it with a new vision. To reclaim what was once fragmented.
Forgiveness and Boundaries Can Coexist
Forgiveness does not require reconciliation. You are never asked to sacrifice your safety, energy, or truth in order to “prove” that you’ve forgiven.
Boundaries are holy.
They are declarations of your worth. They are energetic agreements that say: “I can love and release you, and still choose not to allow further harm.”
In fact, true forgiveness often requires boundaries. Because as you release the emotional charge of a situation, you are able to see it more clearly. You recognize what supports your well-being and what does not. You become more anchored in discernment.
You can:
Forgive while maintaining distance.
Release resentment while still honoring your “no.”
See the light in someone and still choose not to allow them into your inner circle.
Boundaries don’t block love—they create space for love to thrive in truth.
The Role of the Archangels in Forgiveness & Healing
Forgiveness can feel lonely, but you are never alone.
In my own life and healing journey, I’ve found immense strength in calling upon the Archangels and Ascended Masters. They are part of my daily practice. They are my council. When something rises in me—an emotional trigger, a resurfaced wound, or a moment of uncertainty—I turn to them not just for comfort, but for divine perspective.
We are often quick to reach out to friends, loved ones, or people we trust. And while this kind of support is sacred and beautiful, not everyone is equipped to guide us at the level our soul is asking for. Often, human companions will validate our pain (which matters deeply), but they may not be able to show us where the healing opportunity exists. They may reinforce our sense of righteousness or our pain response because they love us and want to protect us. And while this can feel comforting, it doesn’t always help us move forward.
When I call in the angels, I’m asking for more than comfort—I’m asking to see through the eyes of my Higher Self. I’m asking:
What is truly happening beneath this emotion?
Where am I being asked to evolve?
What within me is seeking to be met with Divine love?
How can I walk through this with the grace of my soul, instead of the wound of my ego?
This is the power of spiritual maturity—turning inward and upward, into the wisdom of your Divine Team, and allowing that guidance to filter through your heart, not just your mind.
Archangel Zadkiel helps me when I feel like I’m stuck in resentment or internal judgment. He brings in the Violet Flame, not just to remove pain, but to help me see where love is ready to return.
Archangel Chamuel is often the one I call on when I’ve been hurt. His energy is pure compassion. He reminds me that I am worthy of love and that forgiveness doesn’t mean exposure—it means freedom.
Archangel Raphael is with me in the integration. After tears, after release, when the body feels tender and the heart feels open, I call on him to bring balance. He holds the space for restoration, for the nervous system to regulate, for the light to gently return.
I also welcome in Ascended Masters during these times—beings like Yeshua, Mary Magdalene, Quan Yin, and Saint Germain—each holding codes and frequencies of divine forgiveness, grace, and healing. When I reach to these divine allies, I don’t bypass my pain—I honor it more fully. I see it as sacred. And I give it the kind of spiritual reverence it deserves.
This is how we grow. This is how we return to our truth.
You don’t need to know all the names or the perfect way to call them in. You only need to open the door. Speak from your heart. Trust that the help you request is already on its way.
If this message speaks to something within you—if you are ready to release, restore, and reconnect through divine partnership—I invite you to join me for a sacred journey:
