Unforgiveness is saying, I will remain ill. I will never get well, in the hopes that my hate, and ugliness, and illness, will harm the other party. It is a nonsensical and warped approach to vengefulness. -Brittney

Forgiveness and just not caring are 2 different things.

[@laurapavone3513]

I'm not sure about that.🕊️

[@mindfulmomentswithColm]

-able to care in a certain way -forgiveness does wonders, we can also do empathy/self-empathy (feeling feelings) -that means you see what needs that were had, and you move forward together! -healing happens when we "do nothing" (fasting) -as celebration overtakes the mourning- balance until win/win -pause and seek presence that you become aware of what needs we have & how I find them?

[@DailyDose926]

The key is to forgive yourself for loving a person who treated you like you were their emotional punching bag. Not everyone is worthy of forgiveness. We can remove their toxic existence from our life but we are not compelled to forgive such evil. Learning the lesson is the key and not allowing another toxic individual to ever disrespect you again is growth.

Man the timing on this one was impeccable Russell. Just had a spot of bother driving and needed this. Today it's was a bright yellow or white light. Many times it is a black light, but still bright and radiating. Like looking into an eclipse. Sometimes it's green. Purple sounds really cool! Feel like I've had pink before.

[@ohsweetmystery]

I disagree. You can easily have peace without forgiveness. There are a lot of people I would never forgive, but honestly, I don't even remember them until something happens to remind me about them.

[@obscurum6]

You're right. I find it suspicious that we live in a culture that pressures people to forgive by telling them they are less than, or weak as Russell put it, if they don't forgive. People need to ask who does forgiveness give advantage to? Certainly not the person harmed.

[@obscurum6]

@Sanningen Which is why the evil psychopaths running this world have set up the whole 'turn the other cheek' scam. Then people don't go after them for all the evil they have done.

[@jackwilloughby239]

@Sanningen I have found that to be true in this Life, but in future lives, I've come to believe that the exact opposite is true. I feel that the true purpose of forgiveness is to free ourselves from the baggage of this life so we can proceed in the next life unencumbered." The sins of the father are visited upon the son even unto the 6th and 7th generation?" For a people that either didn't believe in, or weren't familiar with the idea of reincarnation, this is an odd statement especially given that in nearly all religious writings it is stated that a man is responsible only for his own sins(mistakes) and that no one can bear the burden of another's sins. If you read through the Clementine Recognitions and Homilies, you will find a fairly written explanation of why evil exists, how it came into being, and it's purpose. Also the Koran, much more than the New or Old Testament, describes Jinn, Djal, Shaitan, and "Weird women" and their relationship/interrelationship with man. If you are a searcher, nothing can keep you from the Truth, but at my age(63) I wonder if I've found it in time, and if I have the strength and determination to deal with it. "You will all be Salted with Fire."(the Complete Jewish bible) is probably the most horrifying truth one can ever come to realize. Experiencing it first hand, knowing it is a real thing, being able to deflect it with a cutting board made of melamine, being able to feel that strange tube of non-material substance coming down from the sky with your right hand( the left for some reason is senseless), the burning feet and ankles when you lie down at night, the "crown of thorns" around your head, foggy thinking, migraines. Modern medicine is completely at a loss to deal with these things because the source is external and no amount of Oxycontin can help. Wish the best for you in your search for Truth, JtC

Forgiveness is letting go of the emotional baggage that you have been carrying...and that has been crushing your soul. Holding onto grudges just poisons the soul.

[@colinandrews310]

Is it not easier to ask the Lord Jesus for forgiveness because all these things that people have came up with to make themselves feel better about their guilt in life always will be about the cross that Jesus died on for everyone.

[@sonada5933]

If we do not forgive, we never stop paying. We paid when we were mistreated, and would all the sooner heal if we didn't carry the anger, wish for vengeance or even disappointment born of that mistreatment. if we can't let it go, it continues to haunt us, for far longer the actual mistreatment itself likely will.

[@obscurum6]

Actually psychological research shows that people do better in therapy when they have had vengeance on the person who hurt them. People have been programmed to 'turn the other cheek', but it is not human nature to do that.

[@sonada5933]

@@obscurum6 There is such thing as "human nature" 9apart from the wonderful Michael Jackson song of that name). Psychological research is mere transitory pursuit, and despite continuing for decades, fails to reach any rock solid conclusions. Who'd need therapy for something if they could just 'forget it'? Of course professional 'help' seeks to further its own ends, work, retaining clients, widening customer base etc. If people were 'doing (absolutely) better' they'd not need therapy. And if being comfortable with vengeance is "doing better" then the bar must be set pretty darn low. Instead of comparing one group fo malcontents in therapy with another slightly less malcontent bunch also in therapy, better to widen the scope of investigation to include everyone, for example those lovely monks who live atop the mountain and their ilk. I suspect they a) forgive, b) don't require endless costly therapy. Aim high!

[@luciapompeiano3220]

To forgive is a gift you do to yourself, you allow yourself to make peace with what has happened, (you might even be grateful for the lesson - hopefully learned 😉) and move on ( and at this point without any baggage). This has nothing at all to do with any other part, just with you, yourself and your peace of mind. If you continue ruminating what happened here is what will happen: you will re-experiece what happened an infinite amount of time, you will waste your time and your life while remaining stuck at that point in time when X happened, you will not be able to move on and live the happy & joyful life you deserved to live. To forgive is to take responsability for your life and all your actions, even those towards yourself, and to understand that this is what you can do and have to do. What the other part is going to think, do, and say is none of your business. You have your life path to follow, you take the occasion to grow even further. The other part has its own life path and it is not up to you to interfere or mess up with that. (they are good enough by themselves to do that like so many of us, after all 🤷🏻‍♀️) Everything becomes more clear when you realize that we signed up for all these experiences and life lessons together with the other parts before we came on Earth. So in this lifetime they will give you the opportunity to grow through certain lessons, yes, and they will have their lesson too, but don't forget that most probably in a previous lifetime you gave them other opportunities to grow too... or maybe in a future lifetime, why not?!? Of course, please avoyd to look at this as a pay back time 🙏🤷🏻‍♀️ ✂️⏳✂️ Much love to you all 💖❣️

[@WhiteLunaWolfe]

The timing on this video could not be more perfect. Eight members of my family wronged me in a seemingly unforgivable manner in April of 2017. Ever since then I’ve been being eaten alive by the hatred I felt towards those people. I finally had enough and told my therapist that I wanted to know how I could forgive them so I could find peace. She advised me not to forgive them; she said that forgiveness was an active process that required the person who wronged me to first apologize before I should even consider forgiving them. She did say there were other ways I could let go and move on without forgiving them. Nothing she said that day set well with me, but I was so shocked by what she’d said that I didn’t know how to organize my thoughts to tell her that I disagreed. In my heart, I still knew that I desperately needed to forgive these people- not because they deserved it, and not because they had asked for it, but because I deserved peace and freedom from them. I had no idea how to go about forgiving them, though, and my therapist clearly wouldn’t help. Then today I open my email, and what should I see, but Russell Brand telling me how to forgive. I know I’ll have to do this over and over again before it sticks, but I already feel lighter because I now have the tools necessary to forgive these people. Thank you so much, Russell, for all that you do. You’ve helped me in so many ways over the years, from your Recovery book, to the series of videos you posted on Commune to go along with the book, and now this. I was supposed to see your show in the United States back in June of 2020, and I’m really hoping that when things are safe again you come back to the States so I have a chance to see you. My color was blue, by the way; a color that has always represented courage for me, which I think is very fitting in this process of forgiveness. Thank you, again.

[@create2liberate]

In doing this meditation, it was brought to my consciousness that I have not forgiven someone. I felt it in my chest/heart area. And my color was blue/green.

Forgiveness is nice in theory. Sounds all fantastical and releasing, but it’s a different story in life. I sat in court and watched the body cam footage of my only brother being shot and murdered while the man who did it was roughly 30 feet from me. My only brother, who I served our country with, who went on to serve his community in law enforcement, was murdered in cold blood simply because he wore a badge. Forgiveness you say? Give me five minutes alone with the POS rotting in prison and total immunity from what transpires and then we’ll talk.

AWEmazing thank you for being You Sweet Brothers and siSTARS

[@Spaceman-jo5mz]

Wow, that was out of body....Abusers disappeared and became small like bits of soil then indistinguishable from the ground as I left this planet. The tension in my chest got smaller as the planet got smaller like a spec as I moved away and into the infinite. My light radiated purple, white and blue - it would change. I'm not sure this was forgiveness of these abusers as much as it was being able to let go of the negative energy stored in my body. Thanks Russell for leading this meditation that allowed it to diminish into nothing for a while. Love and peace

[@kittttcattt]

Thank you very much. Mine was purple and sunset orange. I will continue to practice daily it creates peace within me. Awesome and powerful. Praise the Lord what a wild ride this life is. Rollercoaster is starting to even out.

[@SahasraraIm]

Thank you, very soothing! God bless you, Russel!

[@biancag6432]

Hi Russel, love your meditaitons. I would like to ask if you would consider doing a forgiveness meditation for people with aphantasia. That means I am unable to see images when I close my eyes. I am unable to participate in visualising, would you be able to do a forgiveness meditation that focuses even more on body awareness and breath

[@cdos8964]

Thank you so much Russel for this video! This is a video I will try and listen to every day and share even woth my kid as he gets older. God bless you and thank you for sharing this its means a lot. This helped me so much! And the color I seen was green 💚🙏✌🕊

What do you think of this 1111 new age movement religious movement I’m in a man of God you know I’ve never I’ve never had a practice in our religion if you like and I’m not affiliated with any of them but I believe in God as a child of Jesus and the holy spirit and you know somebody inside but why do you believe and I said what’s in your already isn’t it’s a simple as that very simplistic but I’m in 1111 at 2911 you know master numbers left right and centre but you know what I mean you’ve got some of these new-age movement not all but some which are showing the signs of pyramids with a thumbs and fingers pointing them up putting them down then you’ve got there in the political system in this country here in Australia doing the same thing and I was just at your hanger this is all gonna be Satanic you speak to anybody that is an authority and when it comes to religion they’re all saying the same thing it’s it’s it’s Satanic having said that yes the Catholic Church was SatanicBut it’s not about that with me it’s about God God and church at two different things church is a man-made thing as far as I know I’m told that Jesus didn’t even want church and she can pay anywhere you like so that it is these parts are both alike but nevertheless I’m it’s it’s got all the way Jesus all the way in the holy spirit and so on that that’s that’s what I believe and then everybody’s entitled to what they believe in but I certainly don’t want to be doing something that goes against that so with the triangles are such an exciting he he but if it does I don’t wanna know you know good luck to you but not for me but some meditation is a good thing going with him and I’ve been doing a lot of that I need to do more of course but the way the world is it’s very difficult but nevertheless that’s my thoughts anyway what do you think

[@robweaver1923]

Russell, an annoying ad interrupted this meditation. Kinda blew it for me.

[@StoicMiles]

I have always been able to forgive easily for my own peace. However recently I have been betrayed worse than I ever have in my life. I find a new challenge in forgiveness. I really don’t think I can forgive it. There is no peace in sight by entertaining that thought but also no peace in not forgiving. I guess peace has to be found elsewhere?? I don’t even know.

[@lstan444]

Thanks, Russell nice break, now back to calling out the chaos!!!

[@sarapiksit]

Monotization does not help meditation videos lol an I love these but that jst threw me into left field....WHOA!

Shame an advert starts half way through ! Spoils the peace ! Such is life

[@firesong1313]

Goddess bless u Russell. You've been one of my inspirations for a long time. I'm also a comedian, a writer , and now an influencer. I'm a recovering addict and I do have some mental health and physical disabilities but I've never ever let them hold me back. Although I threw away 14 years of my young adult life on drugs and 6 years ago I started over. So I've been working hard on redemption and achieving my many goals. I write so well. I have a confidence in my talents that I don't have in my own body lol and at the youthful age of 39 lol I am now in college for psychology and I also applied to be a peer recovery specialist counselor for ppl with co occuring conditions. I'm really excited about it cuz all I ever wanted to do is help others. I love making ppl laugh but I also love helping them better their lives and grow and to teach them how to help others as well. I've never fit in and I'm ok with that. I'm weird and my friend calls me a nutter which he's from the UK but here in America it kinda means something else 😂😂 anyways, I meditate usually but recently my daughter tried killing herself and my own mental health took a back seat for a few days while I have been getting her the help she needed. So when I listened to that I realized I haven't forgiven a lot of ppl and I have always been able to move on but I realize that I was still holding onto to so much hurt. And I want to achieve so many goals and I don't want anything hindering me. So as I started breathing I instantly starting crying like a baby and I didn't even know why at first lol but man it felt good afterwards. Thank you Russell. I just wanted you to know that in so many ways u are an amazing human being. And we don't have many of those anymore lol blessed be and namaste

[@Rainbowday369]

What I have learned about forgiveness is it is just a load of baggage you are carrying around that is slowing you down. The sooner you accept you cannot change the past and that life is mostly difficult and rarely easy the sooner you can let it all go and take a deep breath and live without the burdens. Its not always your fault and it’s not always others fault it’s just life you choose how you want to live it.🌹

[@Hx3ney]

This was different for me. I usually meditate over fantasies of revenge and seek comfort in my perpetrators pain even if it's just imaginated.

[@misslyndylou]

My colours started off being green with a hue of violet,but by the end I had streaks of purple and green , so I think the green was healing light ,

[@veronicabriones1970]

My light was a warm gold. Thank you for this meditation. ❤️

[@robertwatling5842]

It’s kinda like saying arm to a policeman after his bashed you over the head and you turn around and tell him you love him

[@Darkpixies]

Revenge and hatred traps those who wronged you in to your memory, to torment you for a long time. Once you have forgiven them completely, they leave.

I am married for 17 years in a broken toxic marriage cause I can't forgive my husband for alot of damage he caused of these years what do I do Forgiveness is so hard for me

[@lindaporter9997]

Yes I was purple too! That was beautiful, thank you so much❤

[@gerry4281]

Forgiveness is not forgetting. It’s letting go of the hurt. I read that and I do believe it worked for me.❤️

[@maymadison3620]

How can you forgive when you are still suffering from the effects of their abuse?

[@obscurum6]

You can't. They don't deserve your forgiveness.

[@JamieMcgee518]

You can forgive BUT not forget. Forgiveness is for you, so you can move forward.

[@obscurum6]

@@JamieMcgee518 You do not need to forgive to move forward. A good therapist will explain that to you, ask yours. I am a qualified psychologist and therapist with over thirty years of experience.

[@adamsmith307]

I’m finding it difficult to forgive Russell for selling tickets to double jabbed only venues, and supporting the medical tyranny he claims to vehemently oppose.

[@JupiterRising3607]

It's a double-edged sword because it's likely he wouldn't have been allowed to do the shows live if he didn't follow the bs regulations. Having said that, it also could mean he's taken the double-shot.. wouldn't it..? Would they have somehow let him do his live shows if he wasn't vaxed? Idk, it just came into my mind this right now, what's your thoughts about this? In my view, all these 2x mandates sux.

Those people should be asking ME to forgive them

This is good but I just can't think of anyone I need to forgive for anything!
