Integration

Forgiveness is broadly defined as “a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.” It is also at the heart of the teachings of the great world religions. While this can be an extremely difficult process for people, it is a necessary step towards healing, health, and human wholeness.

Your Integration this week is to practice forgiveness. This exercise has two parts:

  • Receiving forgiveness for yourself for something you have done to yourself or others and any guilt or shame that you have caused
  • Offering forgiveness to others who have hurt you or caused you pain in the past
