Forgiveness & Your Inner Power
Hello beautiful souls! Forgiveness isn't about whether someone deserves it—it's about freeing yourself from the painful burden of the past. This profound truth resonates deeply during Holy Week when we remember Master Jesus's ultimate example of forgiveness, even from the cross.
Join me as I share two spiritual tools that have transformed my understanding of healing and inner power. First, Kyle Gray's "Raise Your Vibration" offers a beautiful perspective on forgiveness as a gift we give ourselves, creating space for joy and higher vibrational living. Rather than carrying the weight of past hurts, we can acknowledge them while choosing to release their grip on our present happiness.
Next, through Amanda Ellis's Christ Consciousness Deck, we explore the biblical story of the woman healed by touching Jesus's garment—a powerful reminder that "your faith alone" is what creates healing. This teaching challenges us to look within for the holiness we seek rather than constantly searching outside ourselves. The card asks: "Can I touch holiness within myself?" This question invites us to recognize our innate connection to divine love and healing potential.
Throughout our human journey, we experience the full spectrum of emotions—profound joy and devastating sorrow—all serving our soul's evolution. When we view challenges as teachers and recognize that "everything you need to know is within," we tap into our greatest power. By returning to our breath and inner sanctuary, we discover that even in our most difficult moments, we're being carried by something greater than ourselves.
Have you discovered spiritual tools that help you connect with your inner wisdom? I'd love to hear what practices bring you back to center. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and join our community of seekers on this beautiful journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome to Enlightened Elevate with Kelly. Thank you so much for being here. I am a Reiki master, teacher, mother, wife and lover of all things spiritual. This podcast is a place where we explore metaphysics, holistic healing and so much more. Join me on a quest to find tools and knowledge for continued spiritual growth. It is my passion to help people learn more about the energy body and how spiritual knowledge can help us better navigate a chaotic world. It is really hard to be human. Learning self-mastery, unconditional love of yourself and others is the best way to better our world. The outer world is a reflection of our inner world. Gandhi famously said be the change you wish to see. Real change begins and starts with each and every one of us, so let's do the work. If you love this podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This helps with the algorithms and spreads the show's messages and makes it more discoverable. Thank you so much for being here again and enjoy this episode. Hi everybody, welcome back. I'm so excited to be here again.
Speaker 1:If you're listening, in current time we are currently in Holy Week. I wanted to share with you today a book that I keep on my nightstand. It is called Raise your Vibration High Vibe Tools to Support your Spiritual Awakening, and it's written by Kyle Gray. It's really an amazing book. It goes through all sorts of things. It starts off with explaining what is energy, what it means to have high vibes in your body. He goes through his spiritual practice and he just gives a lot of guidance on how to develop one, how to maintain it, making it like a non-negotiable, no matter where you are or what you're doing. And it's really cool because he talks about just keeping it consistent for what works for you. If you're not a morning person, then do it in the evening If you're in. Vice versa, whatever works for you. So the main body of the book he has written vibes, and each day is a different subject and he has it broken down into categories and then within each category is a different subject and I like to thumb through it and open up to a random page and see what message spirit is giving me. You can read the book cover to back, of course, and I have, but I'm going when I keep it on my nightstand. I like to just go open up and see what message is there for me today. And so for today, I opened to vibe 33, forgiveness is a gift, and I thought to myself as I opened it and sort of reading the message how synchronistic of Holy Week. You know that, where Master Jesus, or Yeshua as he was known in his time always spoke of forgiveness, even up to his last breath on the cross. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. You know what a beautiful example Master Jesus put forth for everyone in our relationship with Creator, loving God, loving our neighbor and being able to show kindness, compassion and forgiveness. And when I opened it up, I thought I'm going to share this with you guys today.
Speaker 1:It begins with when you come across the word forgiveness, there's a good chance a past or present situation will make itself known to you. There's a reason for this. It's because forgiveness is something you need, but it's something you may be resisting to. Forgiveness is a complex process. It isn't easy to explain or experience, but it is certainly required in order to raise your vibration. It can mean something different to everyone, but for me, it's ultimately no longer allowing a past situation to affect your current happiness. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting. It's more about saying that a situation happened, but it's not who or where you are today. In some ways it's like looking at an old photograph. It may be in black and white, not color, and when you're looking back at yourself, that person doesn't feel like you anymore.
Speaker 1:If there's something in your life that you know needs forgiveness, but you're resisting, know this could be for a number of reasons. It could be because there's part of you that feels the person you have to forgive doesn't deserve it. Let me tell you this Forgiveness isn't about whether someone deserves it or not. The point is that when you don't forgive, the only person that is suffering is you. It's painful and draining to hold on to the troubles of the past. Don't let someone else's errors block your happiness. Clear them from your vibration once and for all.
Speaker 1:If you are holding back from forgiving yourself, realize that you would never know what you know today if you hadn't made those mistakes. Realize that you are a completely different person from who you were then. Now you are working on living with purpose and making a difference. You deserve to be free. Forgiveness is an organic process. To experience it, all you have to be is willing, and the rest will take care of itself. Five of the day, dear universe, I am willing to forgive. I am willing to be forgiven. Thank you for showing me the miracle of forgiveness. I realize that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, but but choosing love instead. I welcome this freedom into my heart, and so it is. I'm going to put a link in the notes to this book. Kyle puts out the most wonderful books. I have bought many of his books. I'm actually going to do a future podcast episode on his latest book, angels Are With you Now, so look forward to that.
Speaker 1:I in also continuing in the spirit of Holy Week, I pulled a card from Amanda Ellis's Christ Consciousness Deck and I want to read that to you. But I also wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about Amanda Ellis. She's in the UK and I've been following her for a while. Ellis, she's in the UK and I've been following her for a while, and she put out a beautiful and I'll put a link to it YouTube video just a few days ago and it's called I left the church but never left Jesus, and I really resonated so much with that because I don't follow any of specific church teachings anymore, but I never did leave Jesus. I have always felt that Jesus was a beautiful guide and his messages are of great importance and I just I'm going to put a link to that YouTube video because she talked about many things in there, not just that subject in particular, but of Holy Week and different things that it made me happy think about things differently and I love when I listen to somebody and they make me think about things in a different way and she really puts out really high vibe, beautiful stuff. So I'm gonna link her YouTube video. Definitely go check her out.
Speaker 1:She has other decks as well. She has another deck. I know that it's about Archangel Metatron. He's like her main guide that she channels through, but I loved, I love her Christ Consciousness deck and the card that I pulled today to share with you guys is called Faith, find Holiness Within, and I'm going to read to you what this card has.
Speaker 1:This card is inspired by the story of a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for 12 years. Seeing Christ in a crowd, she reached out and touched his gown and immediately knew that the source of her illness had ceased, since she knew that even if I touch his clothes, I shall be cured. At first glance, this story makes us think that it was Jesus himself who healed her, but turning to the crowd and asking who had touched him. He said to her it was your faith alone that cured you. It is an important distinction and one that is needed to be heard by many who believe that someone, something or only a higher power can heal them. In this teaching, it is clear the power lies within you and your ability to have the faith, and that alone is enough. So often we look outward for help, guidance and the answers, yet you are reminded that you have the powers and the tools you need. The question needing to be answered is can I touch holiness within myself? To do so is to be able to access all that you seek and your ability to find balance and to know that all is well.
Speaker 1:Illness and challenge can also teach and instruct us and others. The soul grows through what it experiences on earth. It is why it came In the highlighted story. The afflicted woman had sought many remedies and counsel from others, and yet these years were not without worth, since we often find out how strong we are via surviving adversity, pain and difficulty. This is not to say it was God's want for us, but to be human is to have agreed to walk this path, which can have thorns as well as the scent of a rose Into every life. A little rain must fall, is a well-known saying, but it is also a true one. Healing can also occur via encouragement and support to keep going.
Speaker 1:We are often carried, even when we do not recognize it, feeling as though our prayers have been ignored, but it is often then when God is in fact closest. We all seek the miracle and healing cure, and this can be possible if it, if it is what the body, mind and soul truly desire. But all aspects have to be in agreement for this to happen. So often we listen only to what one part of us wants, but if we instead see ourselves as multi-dimensional beings, we tune into different needs and requirements for soul growth. Today, take a deep breath and think about how you can access holiness within. Certainly. Giving yourself quiet space and room to just be is helpful. Prayer writing or any activity that quiets the egoic mind is good. Prayer writing or any activity that quiets the egoic mind is good. Finding holiness in everyday events encourages us to see interaction as an opportunity to touch God, because everything is part of his creation and holds the frequency of love.
Speaker 1:Love is the greatest healer and we must not lose faith with it or become so blindsided by negativity or displeasure that we fail to see it in available in every moment to turn a grimace into a smile, a clenched fist into an embrace and a battle cry into a lullaby. When we can answer life with love, we see it returned to us tenfold. The lady reaching for christ's gown knew he was complete love. It was that vibration and the trust in it that saved her. Reach for the love within yourself too. Shower yourself with its healing balm and visit the inner sanctuary and library of your heart that knows all the answers you seek. Love and faith. Move mountains, so move some today. What a beautiful card. The card is really beautiful. It's got this woman with her hand outstretched to touch Jesus's robes. It's just really it's a beautiful deck.
Speaker 1:I definitely highly encourage you guys to go out, check out Amanda. She has another business where she teaches as well. She has courses she teaches, but she has color therapy sprays that she sells. So definitely go to her website and kind of check out the things that she has out there. I wanted to share those tools with you today. I love the Christ Consciousness deck I actually to share with you.
Speaker 1:I was actually drawn to the deck. Before I even started following her. I had bought the deck and had been using it and she came up in my YouTube feed and I started listening to her videos that she does and it dawned on me that they were one in the same, that the author of the cards and her were the same person. When I saw because she broadcasts from her office and she has the same she has pictures from the decks that she's created behind her and I thought I put it together and I tell what? Here's the same woman and I didn't even realize it.
Speaker 1:But it's all spirit led, right spirit. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. So this happens to all of us we, when we're ready, and uh, there's so much information out there for us that is available. Right, we're living in a time where we can really seek truth, find any kind of information that we want. And again, I always say, as what my one of my favorite teachers that I've ever encountered Take what resonates, discard the rest and just try to incorporate all these different little tools to recenter yourself. For me, I love like flipping to a page and it just brings me back to myself, into my body, refocuses my thoughts, if I was going one way or the other, and it just brings me back to where I need to be.
Speaker 1:And what beautiful things are the that we happen to bring up the topics of forgiveness and finding everything that we need within, because I remember when I first started my spiritual journey and the message would keep coming up everything you need to know is within, everything you need to know is within, everything you need to know is within. And it can be really frustrating, right, because you're like I don't get it. I just don't know it all and I don't understand where I'm going to get that information from within. And we also are conditioned to seek information outwards, right, not within ourselves. But I think, as we all go on our journey, we definitely can feel what resonates, what doesn't you know, what we've known, what we feel is truth and what our truths are, and that's different for everybody.
Speaker 1:Everybody's journey is different, and how they, how and when you're ready to be wherever you are, is all the beautiful part of being here on earth, and I really did love how it highlights, too, that we chose to be here and we chose to learn these lessons, and when we choose to be human, we choose all of the things that it means to be human, the loss, the grief, how devastating that can be, all the different things that we witness that goes on in the world, and there is a lot of tragedy that we see and I would just tell everybody to just always bring yourself back through your breath and ask yourself what can I be learning when we start to look at everything as a teacher and I know that can be difficult but if we start to look at it that way, even the people who are the most villainous in our lives, right, people who've caused us great harm or pain, you know everybody has a part to play in everything.
Speaker 1:Source created all. We just happen to live in a place of duality where we experience everything from the good, the bad, the ugly, the joyful, the wonderful, right, the most beautiful miracles. We get to do that whole wide spectrum here because we need the contrast. We don't appreciate the light without the dark. We need both sides and that can be seen right throughout different areas. There's the yin and the yang, the sun and the moon, like this is comes up throughout many different practices and philosophies and places we have.
Speaker 1:They have all those contrasts and that's how we see and how we learn and how we expand and we grow, and I just wanted to share that with you guys today. Oh, really quickly I did. When I was talking about those books, that fantasy novel series, fourth wing I had mentioned that it was the year of the dragon and I'm sorry, 2024 was the year of the dragon, 2025 is the year of the snake, so forgive me for my error in the last recording, but yeah, so I just wanted to do that correction out there. I want to thank you for being here with me today, wishing you and yours a very happy Easter, if you celebrate, and a very happy spring and all those good things. And thank you for being here sending love to you all and have a great week.
