Realignment

Realignment: 

forgiveness is really just a return to the present moment, making it continuously so, a realignment of our thoughts to what's happening now and not focused on a past transgression. Reality itself holds no opinion on such matters, everything is instantly forgiven and life moves on. Ourselves included. But we are gifted with thought and imagination, an ability to roam our past events and feel the effects again right now, casting ourselves even further in the future to imagine how our lives might be.

forgiveness is difficult with our thoughts traveling to and fro. 

yogic psychology gives reason for this suffering, that we are burdened with the mental patterns of attraction and aversions, bound to our opinions as an ego, and ignorant of being caught within the fluctuation of the mind. We don't realize how we're drawn within this web of sorrow and even of we did we would find ourselves helpless in its grip of motion. 

our escape is forgiveness. 

a realignment. 

simply being aware that this is so.  

yoga is an easy path, we're not asked to make drastic changes, nor give effort to escape our suffering. We just practice, continuously giving our attention to the present moment by breath and posture, realigning ourselves once more with silence, and finding that forgiveness happens completely on its own. That's our awakening, not practicing to achieve anything, we're not seeking to forgive nor to escape our sorrows - but only to realign ourselves to the present moment. 

everything instantly forgiven...

and life moves on.
