Wellbeing Wednesdays Episode #19
“The one about… Forgiveness”
In this episode we took on one big topic: Forgiveness. We looked at it from every angle – what it is, how we do it, why it seems hard, what's on offer and – and we took our understanding of it from very light touch, to super-deep.
Here's what's inside:
- The difference between listening, and really hearing something

- What is it about “giving up ill thoughts” that's so difficult?
- Forgiveness in relationships
- The difference between “doing” forgiveness, and understanding
- How to forgive and forget
- How forgiveness is the ultimate act of selfishness
- Our experience: it's variable but we get stuck on thinking it's fixed
- What happens with forgiveness in the present moment
- Psychological innocence: what it is, how to appreciate it, what happens when we do
- Looking at the statement: “Charity begins at home”
- The neuroscience behind the illusion of ego
- Using our feelings to get a barometer on egoic thinking
- Human beings being human
- What we can learn from the Zen concept of “No mountain”
