The Power of Forgiveness

Very easy to follow course. Full of valuable information and tools. Everything is very well explained and the exercises given are very effective. Thank you.

This course is a life-changer. Forgiveness is not easy and is often felt to be unapproachable blocked as it is by a tangle of deep-seated emotions and thinking. The other side of forgiveness, the release and freedom it brings, is rarely glimpsed. This course gives us such easy access to overcoming the big hurdle we encounter when we try to forgive. The first thing is to realize that forgiveness benefits me foremost, releasing me rather than someone else, from that deep-seated tangle embedded in me and perpetuated by me. With this understanding I was propelled forward through a comprehensive, very easily negotiated course. The course shows us how to unravel that tangle revealing just what that tangle consists of and how it affects us on different levels. Then it takes us step by step, as well as some alternative steps, through a process of forgiveness. For example, we are guided to identify feelings that we live with day in and day out without giving them another thought. Yet these are feelings that erode, block, hinder, impede us every day in different ways and in different areas of our life. Feelings such as bitterness, anger, resentment, vengeance, among others, are explored so that we can relate to them and place them properly within those situations that require forgiveness. We learn about the emotional and mental negative effects and costs of holding on to these feelings and their situations, (effects: e.g. confusion, distress, depression; costs: e.g. peace of mind, quality of sleep, time). Karina Ferey, the instructor is sensitive in explaining and sharing personal experiences with these negative effects and costs, which makes the experience so real. This guides us in identifying our own situations, how they affect us, and the best means of engaging in forgiveness for them. There are different means of forgiving, as well as different steps to prepare in especially difficult cases, such as writing a letter which you will not send. Burning the letter is in itself an act of release. This is just one of the easier examples of how to go about forgiving. By the way, subjects of forgiveness include those who have passed on as well as institutions. If you find yourself facing a seemingly insurmountable situation and/or emotions, Karina Ferey invites you to take a different perspective on the situation or person, as well as different means of forgiving. It was very helpful for me when I seemed to be at an impasse to consider a different aspect of the subject’s life which put things into a new perspective; but it really made all the difference when Karina invited me to forgive their soul rather than the person. That was an amazing breakthrough for me, leading easily to a sense of release and freedom from the situation. It also somehow broadened my space. One important thing I learned from this course was to listen to/observe my body for signs of a reaction to the memory of a negative incident in my life. This is how I learned to find out if forgiveness, especially of an old distant injury was still necessary. This exercise opened a new dimension for me, empowering me through the energetic connection with my body. I used it throughout the course thrilled at this personal source of empowerment. I could write a lot more about this course, but it really has to be experienced. This is an easy course to follow and there’s lots of valuable resources and encouragement from the experienced and down to earth instructor, Karina Ferey, but the course requires mental and emotional rigour. You do have to be disciplined as you encounter the discomfort and pain associated with hurtful experiences that you need to bring to the fore. I can say however, that with each step and every effort it was more empowering to me. I am not someone who meditates but, I was deeply affected by and successful with my forgiving in some cases by using the Forgiveness Meditation, the Self-forgiveness Meditation and finally, the Cleansing Meditation. These resources are priceless. I think that I might use them as a short cut to forgiving, they seem to nourish one in the process of achieving the end. Thank you to Karina Ferey for creating this essential course with such insight and sensitivity and to Udemy for making it so accessible. If one is true to themselves in this course, it is a life-changer.

A great course. Full of useful tips on how to look at things differently. Wanted this course to focus on forgiving others but am now including myself as I did not realize I was holding guilt for some things in my past. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed this valuable course! I tend to hold on to things so this has really helped me to start forgiving myself and others. Thank you!
