Forgiveness is often misunderstood. Many see it as condoning harm or excusing those who have wronged us. But true forgiveness is not about the other person—it’s about us. It’s a gift we give ourselves, a way to break free from the chains of resentment and bitterness that keep us bound.
When we hold onto grudges or bitterness, it’s like poisoning our own well. These feelings linger in our hearts, colouring our thoughts, emotions and even our physical well-being. The weight of anger and hurt can manifest as tension, fatigue or even illness. Energetically, these emotions create blockages that prevent us from living in flow and harmony. Kinesiology reveals this truth in profound ways, showing how old wounds and grudges can create imbalances in the body, mind and spirit.
Acceptance is the first step toward forgiveness. It doesn’t mean we agree with what happened or that we minimise the pain it caused. Instead, acceptance allows us to acknowledge the truth of the situation, to feel the hurt fully without denying it. Mindfulness teaches us to sit with these emotions, observing them with compassion rather than judgment. In doing so, we create space for healing.
Forgiveness is an act of liberation. It’s a decision to release the hold that pain has over us. Importantly, this act is for us, not for the other person. They may never know we have forgiven them. They may not change, apologise or even acknowledge the harm they caused. But forgiveness is not contingent on their actions. It is a deeply personal process of freeing ourselves from the grip of the past.
Kinesiology can support this journey by helping to release stored emotions and uncover hidden beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of blame or hurt. By working with the body’s energetic systems, we can gently dissolve these patterns, restoring balance and clarity. Supported by mindfulness practices, we begin to let go of the weight we’ve carried, finding lightness and peace.
The freedom of forgiveness lies in its power to transform. When we release resentment, we reclaim the energy we’ve spent holding onto the past. We open ourselves to joy, love and connection, no longer tethered to the pain that once defined us. Forgiveness doesn’t erase what happened, but it allows us to move forward, whole and unburdened.
In the end, forgiveness is an act of self-love. It’s a declaration that we are worthy of peace, that we deserve to live free from the shadows of hurt. Through kinesiology, mindfulness, and the courage to let go, we can step into a life that feels lighter, freer and deeply aligned with our true selves.
May we all find the courage to forgive, not for others, but for the freedom it brings to our own hearts.
With love,
