Down With My Demons: The Shadow Work Path
Forgiveness
This episode means a lot to me in that it's been a life long journey and exploration of how I interact with the world and with my internal process. Forgiveness can feel confusing.... how do we forgive? Forgiveness can seem impossible, especially when we've been betrayed and hurt. Something deep in us knows that forgiveness is in our best interest and sometimes it can be easier to forgive others than to forgive ourselves. Often we think forgiveness has the vibration of "it's all ok," or "no worries." But forgiveness is not about compliance. It's about freeing ourselves so we can stop dragging painful and transformative moments throughout all aspects of our lives. Please subscribe, follow, share, and if you feel inspired, leave a review! I hope you enjoy and I look forward to see you again soon.
