The Spiritual Benefits of Forgiveness

Martin Friedman is flying solo this week on our new podcast. In a recent episode Martin shared a story about learning to forgive his mother, and he is back to discuss the spiritual benefits we get from forgiveness. Martin explains how forgiveness meditation helped him learn how to see other people and how to treat himself better. The forgiveness meditation he listened to broke down forgiveness into three parts. You learn to forgive yourself for the things you have done to other people, you forgive yourself for the things you have done to yourself, and you forgive other people for what they have done to you. Martin believes that these forgiveness steps worked best for him and allowed him to be honest with the people he needed to forgive. He has found that by forgiving his mother it has opened up their relationship to be more understanding. Martin’s mother has shared things with him she has never told anyone, and Martin feels like both of their souls are more free with open communication. Martin has found that by forgiving his mother he has been able to have a spiritual relationship with her. When we forgive people we are seeing them for who they are and it shows us that we can meet people where they are at. The spiritual benefits of forgiveness will move us towards our authentic selves and allow us to have spiritual relationships with others. Thank you for taking the time to listen to Martin’s beautiful journey, and remember to always stay Soul Focused!
