Hanna Kok shares her expertise on the surprising link between forgiveness and physical health, revealing why holding onto grudges causes hormonal imbalances and weakens the immune system. We explore the scientific evidence behind this connection and discuss a practical method for making forgiveness easier.
• When we hold grudges, our muscles tighten, restricting blood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body
• Brain function decreases dramatically during conflict—the prefrontal cortex (responsible for wisdom and problem-solving) can switch off up to 85%
• Stress emotions attach to cell receptors, triggering responses that put cells in overdrive and eventually lead to health problems
• Different organs are sensitive to specific emotions—the liver responds to anger, lungs to grief, and the gut to feelings of abuse
• Unforgiveness reduces energy available for immune function, making us more susceptible to illness
• The forgiveness method includes identifying what triggered you, recognizing what it reveals about your own healing needs, and seeing the situation as an opportunity for growth
• Practical techniques for releasing unforgiveness include journaling, mirror work, and meditation
