Based on scientific research, this groundbreaking study from the frontiers of psychology and medicine offers startling new insight into the healing powers and medical benefits of forgiveness.
Finding the love of your life and holding onto that relationship is more difficult than ever. The problem hasn’t gone unnoticed. From relationship therapists to speed-dating, self-help books to online matchmaking, an entire industry has developed to help us navigate the bumpy road of relationships. Yet in spite of the availability of all these resources, many of us still struggle to discover and keep the love of our lives. That is, until now.
We live in an age of stress. Each day at work and at home as we struggle to take care of the basics, constant stress significantly affects our ability to lead healthy and happy lives. We struggle with stomach pain, headaches, mood swings, fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, and even heart failure. Not only does stress damage our physical and emotional well-being, but our relationships and productivity suffer as well. What, if anything, can we do to stop this cycle?
“Fred Luskin wants me to forgive my mother. And, while I’m at it, my father, my third-grade teacher, my passive-aggressive coworker, the woman who cut me off on the highway, and the guys in Washington who’ve made such a mess of things. Not for their sake, but for mine: Luskin is convinced I’ll be less anxious, more upbeat, and healthier if I do.”
“Abstract
1) To understand the mind body link in forgiveness
2) To practice two simple forgiveness techniques
3) To derive a practical definition of forgiveness that will be an aid in practice
4) To review the 9 steps to forgiveness.“
“Patrician Magee has sparkling eyes, a ready smile and the lilting voice of many an Irishwoman. But for the last decade, she has also harbored a consuming sorrow and anger. Magee lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, wellspring of years of discord the Irish call “the troubles.” She is Catholic, and in 1992 her brother Martin was beaten to death by Protestant loyalists. His killers were apprehended and jailed, but released in a prisoner exchange as part of a peace agreement. Now, they live near her family. They walk the same streets.”
“Fred Luskin, Director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects and Associate Professor at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, speaks on what truly makes us happy, how we can live with less stress, and gives tips for daily exercises to help you achieve peace. This Stanford GSB Fall Reunion/Alumni Weekend faculty presentation was recorded on October 5, 2018.”
“Holding onto a grudge really is an ineffective strategy for dealing with a life situation that you haven’t been able to master. That’s the reality of it,” said Dr. Frederic Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project.
“Whenever you can’t grieve and assimilate what has happened, you hold it in a certain way,” he said. “If it’s bitterness, you hold it with anger. If it’s hopeless, you hold it with despair. But both of those are psycho-physiological responses to an inability to cope, and they both do mental and physical damage.”
“What better way to begin a new year than to expand our capacity for forgiveness?
