Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life

Forgiveness does not mean "pardoning." It's not really about the other person who hurt you; it's more about allowing unconditional love to flow through you without obstruction. Forgiveness is a powerful, effective healing modality for personal transformation and inner peace. Many people explain "why" you should forgive, but Dara Mckinley is an expert on "how" to forgive. You can reach Dara at her website https://daramckinley.com/
Some of the highlights Dara shares:

Most people think "forgiveness" means pardoning - it's letting the offender "off the hook"
Most people think "forgiveness" is impossible and offensive - it mocks justice
Dara's personal experience being asked to forgive and finding it irritating
Her transformative experience - discovering that forgiveness isn't "pardoning"
Seeking effective tools for healing - What really works? Does this relieve the body of heavy burdens?
The natural desire for justice and feelings of resentment - I've been wronged. I want justice.
How to forgive - what is the process?
How forgiveness helps us feel "neutral" towards those who hurt us
How forgiveness relieves our emotional burdens
How forgiveness can aid in physical healing
Forgiveness is the ability to apply unconditional love and to clearly see where we need it
Unconditional love is a medicinal force
How to apply unconditional love
How withholding forgiveness blocks/impedes the flow of unconditional love
How to be free from anger, resentment, etc.
How to become a clear channel for intuition
How our inner voice crying out for justice or revenge is trying to help us, but is actually hurting us. "You're trying to protect me, but you're actually making me miserable."
Revenge doesn't give us what we really want, a peaceful heart
Anger creates more anger
