Embracing Self-Compassion to Forgive and Heal with Kristin Neff | Take a Moment Guided Meditation

[@ejdrance]

I appreciated this meditation. I have to say I wasn’t prepared for it to end as it did. I would have genuinely appreciated a final closing that supported the listener on how to work with the remaining feelings of anger as they arise. That said, I appreciated a great deal the phrase “may I begin to forgive this person for the harm they have caused me wittingly or unwittingly”. And for reviewing the causes and conditions that may have contributed to the person’s behaviour. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour but puts it into a context and that often helps the forgiveness process for me. And indeed - it is a process, isn’t it? 🙏😊

Thank you! Very helpful. I should make time to dedicate everyday a little bit of time to purify my mind of the unwholesome and develop the wholesome.

It is good but sometimes better to avenge

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

Abuse is unforgivable. Forgive yourself maybe, but letting the abuser off the hook? That'll just open yourself to more abuse. Better learn how to build healthy communities by becoming a leader, change the culture through one's example than forgive abusers and thus perpetuating the cycle.

This video doesn’t talk about forgiving abusers explicitly, nor does it mention letting people off the hook and not having boundaries. Nor is it for people who do not wish to forgive or are not ready. It’s a meditation to forgive past hurt and let go of resentment which may be affecting our lives as a way to move on an feel more peace, healing and inner strength. You can have forgiveness whilst setting healthy boundaries, not accepting abusive behaviour, standing up for yourself and advocating for change in your community.

I was looking for ways to have compassion for me not forgiveness for my abusers. Disappointed
