Holistic Life Designs with Gina Alzate

By Gina Alzate, The Concept Whiz

Relationships are our greatest teachers in getting to know ourselves.  When we meet people whose traits we admire, we may be on the verge of developing those traits within us.  When we are envious of other people’s accomplishments and lifestyles, we may be remembering a life we are also meant to have.  When we meet people we immediately like or dislike, perhaps there might be some past life remnants which their looks and behaviors remind us of another time in our history.  When we eagerly partner up with another person only to bear so many challenges with them later on, we may be living past life issues needing resolution.  Whatever the reason we engage in relationships willingly, relationships teach us so much about ourselves.

In relationships, we learn to set up boundaries and enforce them.  We know the levels of our threshold for pain.  We discover strengths we did not know we have within us.  We find out how far our own human potential could take us.  We rediscover our natural abilities, our talents and innate genius.  We learn to discern, judge critically, and take notes about the diverse ways the Universe teaches us about life.  We learn to feel all ranges of emotions.  Along with our range of emotions, we learn which experiences cause us pain and which ones give us pleasure.   The greatest of these emotions to master in our lifetime is love.

Love has many faces, many meanings, many paths.  Love takes us to the highest potential we could ever imagine for ourselves.  Love brings us life and joyfulness.  Love moves us to passion and romance.  Love compels us to sacrifice and care.  Love is what we give it meaning.  Love calls for forgiveness and releasement for us to move on with our lives.

What we hold bound on Earth, becomes bound.  What we do not forgive in ourselves and others, we bind to our next experience.  The Universe seeks to balance our learning points.  When we cause pain as we learn our life’s lessons, we become the recipient of that pain at the next chance we get.  This is how we learn.  When that pain becomes so deep that it is difficult to forgive, we carry it over to our next experience.  When we do not resolve it before our life ends, we carry that pain over to resolve in our next experience, either in the Afterlife or in the next life.

So, the Universe time and time again allows us to resolve pain we carry throughout our life by re-introducing the circumstances back to us.  The people and circumstances that cause the same pain may be different, but the underlying need to resolve it is the same.  Forgiveness is heart-wrenchingly difficult as it requires releasing of resentment, guilt, fears, pains, hurts, and all other feelings of rejection and abandonment.  So much energy is used to contain these negative patterns and we feel limited to move past it.  Talking about forgiveness without the actual act of letting go of resentment does nothing but unearths the issue and magnifies the pain. The true healer for pain is truly the actual letting go of past hurts from our hearts, minds and souls.  As part of taking the holistic approach to healing, our bodies then become freed from the remnants of painful experiences as our negative emotions no longer need a space to store resentments.  Without us carting our pain around, we become healthier as we grow spiritually throughout our lives.

Every relationship has a history and lessons learned.  Keep these and let go of pain.  In relationships where love dominated, keep the love and the lessons, then let go of past hurts.  Do this to keep your heart at its optimal health.  Be present in the here and now.  Let go of pain belonging to the past.  Keep the love and the lesson then move forward.  Claim the energy freed from forgiveness and redirect it to more positive aspects of daily living.  Then, be ready for more meaningful experiences to enter your life, and the cycle of learning and growing continues.  At least, old negative patterns fall away making room for the creation of new memories.
