Forgiveness is the Greatest Recognition that We're Healing


Listen Later

Episode 7 - Forgiveness is hard.  But when we forgive someone, it’s the most significant recognition that we are healing. To heal, we must forgive.  

Top Takeaways: 

·         [0:11] The statement, I forgive you, is simple but invokes powerful emotions from our egoic minds.  

·         [0:35] Showing compassion for another through forgiveness is a fight between getting justice for the ego and our ability to rise above the experience we’ve had.  

·         [1:40] Forgiving someone isn’t about condoning their behavior.  It also isn’t about forgetting. We never deny our pain or our emotions.    

·         [2:20] Did you know forgiving others helps increase our self-esteem?  

·         [3:00]  Unforgiveness Hurts Us - We replay the event and cause our own suffering.  

·         [5:19] Personal boundaries need to be put in place to keep us from being injured again until we rebuild trust.  

·         [7:26] Closure is an Excuse of the Ego

·         [8:47] But I accept what is— so I can grow and move forward.  

·         [9:05] For us to move past the discomfort and grow, we need to dig deep and feel all the emotions so we can get to the root of the agony.  

·         [10:11] Develop Empathy Helps the Healing Process

·         [12:02] We want to choose to live from our compassionate heart, not our egoic mind. 

·         [13:55] Forgiving Ourselves as a Part of the Healing Process, but being compassionate is a part of our self-care

·         [16:05] Through compassion for others and ourselves, we can change how the past affects our future
