But what is forgiveness actually?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s letting go of resentment. It\u2019s feeling free again. And it\u2019s making space for what you wish to come by letting go of what you don\u2019t want more of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve all been told to \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/forgive-and-forget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">forgive and forget<\/a>,\u2019 to move on, to let it pass\u2026and <em>you get it<\/em>. But do you truly know how impactful this practice can be? Or that you can even make it a practice in itself?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"heading1\">You can start incorporating this habit as soon as you\u2019re ready to invite new refreshing energy into your life and prepare to forgive yourself for not starting to forgive earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-cottonbro-3692759.jpg\" alt=\"Woman and man showing what is forgiveness\" class=\"wp-image-64421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-cottonbro-3692759.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-cottonbro-3692759-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-cottonbro-3692759-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-cottonbro-3692759-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-forgiveness\">What Is Forgiveness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forgiveness is more than just saying the words, <em>\u201cIt\u2019s okay\u201d<\/em> or <em>\u201cI forgive you.\u201d<\/em> It\u2019s an emotional and heartfelt process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.apa.org\/forgiveness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">APA Dictionary of Psychology<\/a>, it means <em>\u201cto put aside feelings of resentment toward an individual who has committed a wrong, been unfair or hurtful, or otherwise harmed one in some way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forgiveness is the act of consciously accepting a personal offense and letting go of any negative feelings. This is done by using empathy and compassion to understand the person you are forgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we understand this way of thinking and act from a place of love, we can begin to feel its unshakable power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-forgiveness-is-not\">What forgiveness is not<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people mistake forgiveness with repressing emotions and think they have to cease being angry when they\u2019re hurt. However, it\u2019s not about running away from your feelings and wrapping them up in a shiny <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/the-empowerment-diary\/201901\/what-is-spiritual-bypassing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spiritually bypassed<\/a> package of <em>\u201cI moved on. I\u2019m okay. I have forgiven.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s about taking full responsibility for your inner world. It involves <em>voluntarily <\/em>transforming your feelings, attitudes, and behaviors toward another person so that you don\u2019t sink into resentment anymore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By forgiving, you clear out the space for more compassion, generosity, and self-love.

Probably not. But you can wake up tomorrow and choose consciously to start this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-psychology-and-science-of-forgiveness\">The Psychology and Science of Forgiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your brain\u2019s electrical activity produces five types of frequencies, called brainwaves. Here they are ranked from the highest frequency to the lowest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gamma (above 40 Hz)<\/strong>: The Insight Wave<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beta (14 \u2013 40 Hz)<\/strong>: The Waking Consciousness and Reason Wave<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alpha (7.5 \u2013 14 Hz)<\/strong>: The Deep Relaxation Wave<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Theta (4 \u2013 7.5 Hz)<\/strong>: The Meditation and Sleeping Wave<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delta (.5 \u2013 4 Hz)<\/strong>: The Deep Sleep Wave<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These brainwaves are an indication of emotion and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/types-of-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">types of thinking<\/a>. Higher frequency brainwaves are associated with higher levels of stress and alertness, while lower brainwaves are associated with intuition, relaxation, and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average person consistently produces higher frequency beta waves during everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monks, on the other hand, produce lower alpha waves, as science has found out. The alpha state is thought to be the key to inspiration, genius-level intelligence, peak performance, balanced emotional capacity, increased immunity, and even total control of the mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"heading3\">The monks\u2019 meditation practice helps develop a deep sense of forgiveness (among other virtues), which trains their brains to operate on a completely different wavelength (<em>literally<\/em>).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-shvets-production-7176326.jpg\" alt=\"Hands holding to show what is forgiveness\" class=\"wp-image-64420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-shvets-production-7176326.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-shvets-production-7176326-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-shvets-production-7176326-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/08\/what-is-forgiveness-pexels-shvets-production-7176326-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-benefits-of-forgiveness\">3 Benefits of Forgiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you think about what forgiveness is, there might be a skeptical part of you that wants to do it just to fit into societal norms of #sharingkindness and #lovewins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, forgiveness has multiple benefits on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-release-toxicity-stored-in-your-body\">#1: Release toxicity stored in your body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1359105314544132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2014 study<\/a> in the <em>Journal of Health Psychology<\/em> shows the link between high-stress levels and mental and physical health problems in 148 young adults.

Here are the five stages to get you moving towards healing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#1: Have the willingness to forgive.<\/strong> It can be a challenging task, but a fulfilling one. Identify what you need to forgive and why (or if) you\u2019re struggling to do so. If you are unwilling to forgive and hold on to your pain, you\u2019ll continue to be stuck in a place of suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#2: Practice forgiveness. <\/strong>Through meditations, affirmations, journaling, or other means, release your pain and hurt to the universe. Let it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#3: Be willing to see things from another\u2019s perspective. <\/strong>Put yourself in the other person\u2019s shoes and try to understand why they behaved the way they did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, think back to a time when you were the offender. Doing this may help you be compassionate and remember that everyone makes mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#4: Wish them well.<\/strong> Holding a grudge is detrimental to your well-being. So, wish them well and be on your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#5: Do something symbolically to send positive energy in their direction.<\/strong> Whether you decide to reconcile or remove the person from your life, send them some good vibes. After all, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/law-of-attraction\/\">Law of Attraction<\/a> states, like attracts like. So, when you think good, you attract good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forgiveness is a process, so it might take a while before you begin to notice changes. Check in with yourself from time to time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you think back to what happened, does it cause a trigger?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does the energy feel when you think of the person or event? Does it feel heavy? Or does it feel light?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you feel like the love you have for yourself and your capacity to love has strengthened?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"heading5\">Commit to the process and you\u2019ll eventually find yourself feeling lighter and happier with the ability to move past your blame story and start living your empowering story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-practice-forgiveness\">How to Practice Forgiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s get down to business. You now have the definition of <em>\u201cWhat is forgiveness?\u201d<\/em>. You\u2019ve explored the science-backed forgiveness practices and their powerful benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you only need to learn how to practically incorporate it into your life. Without further ado \u2014 *drum roll* \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/6-phase-meditation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The 6 Phase Meditation Method<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third phase of this meditation focuses solely on forgiveness. Here\u2019s the ritual of how to do it every day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify the person or the act you want to forgive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create the space (your mental visualization of where you go to forgive).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the charges (what did that person do that hurt you?).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feel the pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about what you\u2019ve learned in the event that caused you pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about how the other person might have been hurt in the past (hurt people hurt people, right?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See the incident from their eyes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forgive into love (imagine hugging the person and forgiving them with compassion). This may take more than one session to feel it fully and truly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 6 Phase Meditation is a state of being that is possible for everyone.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 Vishen, founder of Mindvalley and author of <em>The 6 Phase Meditation Method<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>In life, there are certain characteristics we need to constantly uplevel with,<\/em>\u201d says Vishen.
