The Power of Forgiveness: Priestess Healing for the Heart
I used to think forgiveness meant accepting something awful someone had done and simply saying, “It’s okay now.” But that never sat right. How could we just dismiss betrayal, injustice, or the heaviness of what we carry?
Then life offered me a deeper initiation.
During a difficult time in my own awakening, I found myself supporting a situation that wasn’t mine to fix, but I tried anyway. I threw myself in headfirst, wanting to protect someone I love deeply. There were court cases, grief, complicated dynamics, and emotional overwhelm. It wasn’t even my battle, but I stepped in with all my energy, convinced I was helping.
What I didn’t realise at the time is that jumping in to fix everything wasn’t always empowering, it was enabling. And as the situation escalated, I began to feel drained, resentful, and stuck in a dynamic that wasn’t healing. Something had to shift.
It was during this time that I began to understand the true power of forgiveness, not as an act of spiritual bypassing or “being the bigger person”, but as a profound energetic release.
Forgiveness, I’ve learned, is not a justification. It’s not even about letting the other person off the hook. It’s about freeing yourself from the energetic chains of the story.
It’s about cutting cords and contracts - clearing the dense, tangled emotions that bind us to the past. You can feel sadness, grief, rage, betrayal. All of those emotions are valid. They’re messengers, guiding you to where boundaries need to be set or where a deeper part of you needs care.
But when you're ready, forgiveness is what brings peace.
I remember sitting in meditation and energetically sending forgiveness to someone who had deeply hurt someone I love. I didn’t speak a word aloud. But within 24 hours, that person reached out with an apology - unprompted. They had no idea what I had done. But the energy shifted.
That’s the power of this work. Forgiveness moves energy. It unlocks what was frozen. It creates space for resolution, sometimes in ways we never expect.
Someone close to me, who was navigating their own grief and healing in a very different way, couldn’t fully understand what I was doing at the time. And that’s okay, we’re not always in the same phase of our soul journey. But when they, too, chose to send forgiveness in their own way, another layer released… and a long-awaited resolution soon followed.
Forgiveness on the Spiral Path
In the Sophianic Spiral of the Dragon Rose, forgiveness is not a single act, it’s a cycle. Just like the moon, we wax and wane through remembrance, grief, release, and rebirth.
Through the Lunar Codes, we work with the Full Moon to honour the sacred act of letting go, releasing cords, pain, and memory attachments that dim our light.
Through the Dragon Codes, we clear our energetic powerhouses, reclaiming the life force that’s been trapped by shame, blame, and wounds, both personal and ancestral.
Forgiveness brings you back into your sovereignty.
It doesn’t mean you’re okay with what happened.
It means you are no longer carrying it.
You are no longer keeping yourself tethered to someone else's story.
And when we do this, not just for ourselves, but also for our lineage, we begin to liberate the collective field.
At the Soulful Wisdom Academy, we use shamanic healing, energetic activations, and lunar ceremonies to gently guide this release. Forgiveness is a practice we revisit again and again on the Spiral path. It’s how we reclaim our power and remember who we truly are.
If you’re on this path of remembrance and feel the weight of old wounds, know that forgiveness isn’t weakness. It’s priestess work. It’s dragon work. It’s freedom.
