Health Benefits Found In Forgiveness

Dr. Peter Breggin, M.D, a Harvard trained psychologist says, “Forgiveness has no downside. A renewal in our capacity to forgive can only improve our inner life and empower us in every activity we undertake”.  Forgiveness has always been part of our human society and is featured in multiple historic religious texts but many people do not realize its powerful healing powers for inner peace and personal growth. Knowing how to forgive and forget takes a little effort.

Relationships can be very challenging, this includes all relationships such as; family, children, friends, or colleague. Relationships require us to know how to communicate, be compassionate and sometimes we are called on to forgive. When we are unable to forgive, it blocks the flow of energy in and out of the heart area. And the reality is that it doesn’t affect the person you are angry or annoyed with.  It affects you!  Your energy levels, your health, your wellbeing and your life in general are all impacted.

Learning to let go of stagnant, negative energy, can be extremely useful. When we release blocked energy that has been holding us back. We free ourselves and create space to embrace positive life giving energy. This allows our health to improve, happiness increases, and levels of success are amplified because we have more energy to apply to all that is good in our lives. So whether it is your lover, your mother, your kids or your boss that has upset you; now is the time to, ‘Let it go!!’

Think of forgiveness from the perspective of how it can change your life; by bringing you peace, happiness, and emotional and spiritual healing.

Forgiveness takes away the power the other person continues to have in your life because whether you realize it or not, they are in control not you, when you don’t let go of the anger, guilt, frustration, anxiety, regret and resentment.  Letting go of grudges, resentment, anger, guilt and bitterness can make way for improved health and peace of mind. Forgiveness can lead to:

• Healthier relationships
• Improved mental health
• Less anxiety, stress and hostility
• Lower blood pressure
• Fewer symptoms of depression
• A stronger immune system
• Improved heart health
• Improved self-esteem
• Improved back pain, digestive issues and headaches
• Reduces anger, bitterness, resentment, depression and other negative emotions that are stuck within our bodies due to the inability to forgive; ultimately these can lead to disease in the body

Scientific studies conducted by the Mayo Clinic have shown that holding onto resentment, regret and bitterness impact our lives more ways than we realize, such as:

• It undermines our mental and physical health, and according to latest research, may interfere with our immune system and leave us susceptible to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and other illnesses.

• It diminishes our relationships, sense of joy, and even our financial prospects, diverting precious energy away from our goals and toward an exhausting state of bitterness.

• It hinders our ability to make the difference we want to make. This puts us at odds with our values, making it difficult to act authentically with moral conviction in areas that matter most to us.

We need the power of true forgiveness in our lives and in our world now more than ever. When we don’t forgive, we suffer and the world misses out on our true greatness.

Forgiveness is the doorway into the life that awaits you where you can experience the freedom of joy in your life, happiness, inner peace, more aliveness and vitality!  A new level of energy and strength will be yours when you take back your power through forgiveness and allow it to propel you towards your dreams and goals so you can live your best life! 

There is healing on the other side of forgiveness regardless of the circumstances that you have endured or experienced!
