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

• The definition and etymology of the word “forgiveness”

• 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”
