I hear the word 'Surrendering' used in Reiki.
What does it really mean?
Where do I Start?
What are all the things I can follow that will assist me with that concept?
Thank You!

Oh, Thank You,
((Hugs)) back at you!
Isn't forgiving also part of surrendering?
But rather than actively "trying" to forgive. Just intend that forgiveness be there, and it will.
.. but don’t be yourself up over them. Just process them, enjoy them, and let them move on. Part of forgiveness is allowing yourself to have emotions about things....

This is where my troubles kick in,
I am unable to do that...I tried, I can't..

Isn't there a notion that we can't move on unless we are able to forgive? Only Forgiving can facilitate healing, therefore if I don't heal, I can't move on...
I can't teach, I can't do nothing...?

Here is a moment of resistance for you.
A wise master once said, “Hmmph! No try, do, or do not!” Who can name that master?
To forgive someone else, you must first forget yourself the transgression of having had bad feelings towards someone else. You have to truly WANT to forgive. Now this all sounds easier than it is. And there will be some things you can’t let go of right away. The key is:
BE AWARE
!Be aware of when you have the bad thoughts. Explore those bad thoughts with an objective mind. Don’t judge yourself. Don’t judge the feeling. Don’t judge the other person. Just be aware of the feeling and explore it.
Simple awareness really does work. Sounds too simple. But it works

When you let go of your resentment that will lead to understanding,empathy & compassion for the one who hurt you. You can forgive the person without excusing the hurtful act. Forgiveness has many health benefits from lower blood pressure to improved psychological well being.

empathy & compassion for the one who hurt you??
That's a very tough one,
THC. It is a tough one. I would never suggest something that I have not experienced myself. It does not happen overnight there are exercises you can do to release the hurt feelings that you hang onto. I'm not talking about easy ones either. When you let them go you'll be surprized.

That's a very tough one,
Lets start
with one that can be adapted to most situations.
Using your own words........we need to forgive
ourselves, when we are angry with ourselves
for making poor choices.We can be our own harshest
critic/ judge. “if only… . I should have…” The past
is the past and hanging on to it, is to much baggage
to carry around.
You can also journal .......
I hold on to my baggage because:
I have believed if I let go of my baggage it will mean:
if I let go of my baggage it will help me in the following ways:
I now choose to let go of my baggage:
I have taken folks through visualization to help them release their baggage.
