Heal Through Forgiveness

Forgiveness is about goodness, about extending mercy to those who’ve harmed us, even if they don’t “deserve” it. It is not about finding excuses for the offending person’s behavior or pretending it didn’t happen. Nor is there a quick formula you can follow. Forgiveness is a process with many steps that often proceeds in a non-linear fashion.

But it’s well worth the effort. Working on forgiveness can help us increase our self-esteem and give us a sense of inner strength and safety. It can reverse the lies that we often tell ourselves when someone has hurt us deeply—lies like, I am defeated or I’m not worthy. Forgiveness can heal us and allow us to move on in life with meaning and purpose. Forgiveness matters, and we will be its primary beneficiary.

Studies have shown that forgiving others produces strong psychological benefits for the one who forgives. It has been shown to decrease depression, anxiety, unhealthy anger, and the symptoms of PTSD. But we don’t just forgive to help ourselves. Forgiveness can lead to psychological healing, yes; but, in its essence, it is not something about you or done for you. It is something you extend toward another person, because you recognize, over time, that it is the best response to the situation.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

New rules took effect in England this week compelling developers of small sites to boost nature – and prove they can keep them that way for three decades.

Under world-first biodiversity net gain (BNG) legislation introduced in February, large scale sites had to not only replace habitats lost to development, but increase them by 10%. As of Tuesday the measure also applies to small scale projects, typically those with fewer than 10 homes on a site under 1 hectare (2.45 acres).

The boost can be delivered on site as well as off through the purchase of BNG credits. Prospective developers will have to submit BNG proposals before planning applications are greenlit.

DID YOU KNOW?

What if the person I'm forgiving doesn't change?

Getting another person to change isn't the point of forgiveness. It's about focusing on what you can control in the here and now. Think of forgiveness more about how it can change your life by bringing you peace, happiness, and emotional and spiritual healing. Forgiveness can take away the power the other person continues to have in your life.

Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana)

What is Pyramid Pose?

Pyramid pose, or parsvottanasana in Sanskrit, is a deep standing forward bend. With one foot a few feet behind the other, and the palms pressed in prayer behind the back, the practitioner folds forward. The pose develops both flexibility and balance.

Instructions

  • Begin in mountain.

  • Exhale and step the right foot 2 to 3 feet back. Point the toes about 40 degrees to the right. The heels should be in one line.

  • Inhale and bring the palms into reverse prayer behind the back.

  • Exhale and fold forward, drawing the head toward the shin.

  • Breathe while holding the pose. Inhale and rise. Exhale and step back to mountain. Change sides.
