Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
If you've been hurt by another person—or by your own inner judge and jury—you've probably figured out that it's impossible to forgive through sheer will or intention. True healing, teaches Jack Kornfield, comes naturally with the opening of insight, understanding, and release. In this guided session, you'll learn to germinate forgiveness and move out of pain, fear, and confusion, even if you've been struggling with your situation for years.
