Learn the importance of forgiveness for moving forward in society, personal life, and spiritual growth.
In Part 5 of the Mortal Wisdom Series I’ll discuss why Forgiveness is an especially important skill to learn in the midst of our culture of constant outrage. We cannot solve today’s problems unless we learn how to lay down the bitterness and resentment that keep our energy stuck in the past. These are the lessons we can learn from our mortality and how to thrive in life while knowing that death awaits. Listen to Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 first if you haven’t heard them yet!
This episode includes:
- Why there is so much outrage in our society today
- Why we need to remember our interconnectedness and interdependence in order to solve the problems we are facing
- How hospice patients focus on forgiveness as they face the end of life
- How forgiveness benefits health, relationships and spiritual growth
- Why forgiveness should be an intentional, daily practice
- Tools for practicing forgiveness
- Journaling
- the “4-View” Process for forgiveness
- Ho’oponopono
Forgiveness is the fragrance a flower gives when it is crushed.

Today, as we prepare to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. I share some thoughts about gratitude and how to practice it even when we are suffering. The image of a phoenix rising from the ashes is an especially poignant symbol as thousands of people struggle to recover from devastating fires in California. Sending much love this week to all who are dealing with trauma and tragedy as we sit down to offer thanks for our blessings.
