If you’re like most people, it’s getting tougher by the day. Burdens and problems keep piling one on top of another. Nothing gets resolved… it just gets shoved down.

When you don’t resolve the past you’re less able to deal with new challenges that come up. That’s what causes stress and tension.

It’s almost impossible to change simply by wishing and wanting to. If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, where will it lead you?

But you can’t change just by doing more of what you already know. Running faster on the treadmill is not the answer. It’s going to take something new to lift you out of your current "round of resistance".

According to the Wikipedia page on forgiveness, 94% of Americans surveyed intuitively knew forgiveness would help them. They just didn’t know how to do it. 85% said they needed outside help.

And what was the answer? Meditative prayer. Sit and wait for something to happen… for the burden to be lifted. For the angst to disappear.

Which really isn’t such bad advice. It’s better than doing nothing. At least you’re trying. It might bring results. Eventually.

Forgiveness is a living breathing energy. Like love. It exists independently of you and me. Forgiveness is real. It’s a flow of energy that’s always on. Like a waterfall.

You can sit and wait for the waterfall to come to you, or you can go to the waterfall. To bathe in the pure cleansing flow.

You can let the energy of forgiveness wash away all the grit and the grime. All the burdens. Let it lift you and heal you. Let it set you free.

You didn’t come here to spend a lifetime suffering. You came here to rise above. Forgiveness is the stepping stone that can lift you to a whole new level of existence.

Because it sheds the burdens and the dead weight like a hot knife through butter. When the burdens are removed it makes you lighter and raises your vibration. That’s how you change; by changing your vibrational frequency. (Also called your resonance.)

Forgiveness stands as a living, breathing energy, yes. But forgiveness also refers to the process that takes you to this energy.

Forgiveness is a hero’s journey. Few people have what it takes to travel this path. They’d rather whine and complain about their problems and how hard they have it. How the whole world is against them. How it’s never their fault…

The allure to stay hidden under a rock is strong. There’s no denying it. Could anybody really blame you if you stayed behind; if you shirked your duty and obligation to yourself? Is there really any shame in shrinking? When everybody else is in the same sheep pen?

I put off forgiveness as long as I possibly could. I can’t say it was really even the pain that finally propelled me forward, as bad as that was. It was more a matter of refusing to live a lie.

I didn’t come into this life to be mediocre. No way was I going to die and then look back and realize I didn’t even try. I came here for a reason. Just like you.

I knew I’d never even find that reason if I didn’t heal myself first. And I knew – like 94% of Americans (and probably like 94% of the rest of the world) – forgiveness had to be part of the mix.

I devalued forgiveness because I didn’t understand it. I’d never really felt the power. It was just a concept. A word that sounded too feminine to me. How ignorant I was. I didn’t realize forgiveness was literally the energy that comes before change.

Forgiveness paves the way for change. It creates the space for change to manifest in your life. What does that mean? Forgiveness is essential for meaningful, directed change. You can’t change without forgiveness. At least, not the way you want to. That’s what I discovered.

In fact, it’s the only key. But you have to do it the right way. You can’t just say the words… because it’s a process.

However, once you learn the process, everything just falls into place. And it can work like magic. It will make dramatic and profound changes in your life. Changes that stick. The changes last because you have changed. That’s the promise of forgiveness.

But you’re going to have to dig into yourself if you want to forgive. (Even if you want to forgive someone else!)

So it will be as hard or as easy as you make it. The more willing you are to honestly look at yourself the easier it will be.

Imagine how wonderful it will be to bump into your "ex" – and not get all knotted up inside. You can act relaxed because you ARE relaxed.

Imagine how liberating it will be to no longer be crippled by those memories of the past. You’ll bounce back from those shameful events. And the more painful they were, the more powerful you’ll now become.

Imagine the relief you’ll feel to be truly DONE with it – because you’ve suffered enough and because you’ve found something that works.

Imagine how you’ll feel to see your ‘crime’ from a higher perspective, so you can understand why you did it – and why you now deserve to be forgiven.

You can travel to Stanford University and sign up for one of the courses in forgiveness, and you can experience all the wonderful benefits it has to offer!

It’s backed by years of research and numerous case studies, as well as the experiences from actual students who’ve taken the classes and workshops.

What if you don’t want to spend hundreds – or thousands of dollars – and weeks or months taking classes?

Well now you don’t have to! Instead, you can learn everything you need to know about forgiveness – how to completely and totally forgive yourself – right now, today, in the comfort and privacy of your own home. For…
