According to Ingersoll-Dayton, & Ha (2009), forgiveness intervention assisted the older adults with issues they were facing in later life by providing an outlet to free themselves of powerful yet negative emotions of sadness, anger, and betrayal. This tool gave way in allowing the older adults an opportunity to partake in self-exploration of old wounds, hidden feelings, and re-examination of past events. They were now able to function from a positon of power as they willingly transformed negative thoughts, feelings, and behavior directed toward the offending person to feelings of compassion. The effectiveness of this tool enhanced mental well-being relating to long-term forgiveness and depression along with short-term physical health however, anxiety and social support remained the same. Subsequently, there were some that affirmed the group setting provided social support making a difference as it was void of judgement while having commonalities.

Forgiveness is not just practiced by saints and not only benefits its recipients but have strong connection with person’s physical, mental and spiritual health. It plays a great role in the health of families, communities and nations. Forgiveness provides common ground for love, acceptance, harmony and true happiness Most spiritual and religious leaders of the world will agree that forgiveness of oneself and others is one way to clear the mind, heart and soul and may result in a feeling of increased peace and happiness.

The dance of forgiveness is six steps to be transformed from being a selfish self-absorbed human being. To being a person full of grace and accepting of everyone. The first step is truth telling. This helps build trust between people groups and starts on the path to a relationship. The second step is acknowledging anger. A person should not try to hide their emotions even if it may be an emotion of anger. To get rid of it is by bringing it out in the light and praying for God to help you with the anger. The third step is having concern for others. One of the ways of understanding someone else is to think how life would be in their shoes.

Published in “Newsweek”, “The Neuroscience of Meditation, And the Virtues of Shutting Up,” by Zoe Schlanger, is an article to persuade stressed out and skeptical people towards meditation. Published in 2015, the focus of this article is to help those who don’t understand how “powerful” meditation can be and how others may react to the situation. Miss Schlanger not only puts in her own personal experience, but also brings in other information to try to help guide them to a positive outlook on the way meditation helped her and how it could help them as well. This piece effectively helps the target audience lean toward the idea of meditation by switching from casual to formal diction, using personal experience, and organizing to keep the flow interesting.

Seligman and Peterson (2013) have conceptualized forgiveness has a religious grounded value. It is the act of forgiving a transgressor through as intrapersonal choice. It is distinct from reconciliation, in the sense that it is more concern with benevolence towards the person and towards the person. It is not heavily grounded on the need to have reconciliation but the act of forgoing misunderstandings and grudges. Furthermore, Thompson et al (2005), conceptualized forgiveness as the the transformation of negative affect from a perceived offense, offender and offending circumstance into a positive or neutral one. The source of offense may be the person himself, another person or a situation that is uncontrollable. Hence, this study will define forgiveness as the forgoing of

Siddhartha Gautama was the man who founded Buddhism. Gautama was born in around 560 B.C. in Lumbini near the border of India in what is now Nepal. He was not divine at first and was born as a royal prince and was also born as a Hindu. According to a legend, at his birth a soothsayer predicted that he might become the greatest ruler in human history but if he ever saw four things- sickness, old age, death and a monk who had renounced the world then he would become a renouncer himself and search for salvation for all mankind. His father tried to prevent this from happening and provided him with many luxuries and pleasures and gave orders

The purpose of ER #12 is to illustrate the true purpose of meditation and the ways in which one can achieve this true purpose, however, when this purpose is juxtaposed against the modern, Western interpretation of the art of meditation, one thing is clear; these are not the same. The popular, western meditation, at its heart, attempts to reach the same things that the Buddhist meditation tries to reach: peace, tranquility, and happiness, but those that reach their goals in western meditation practices are not reaching the same goals as those who practice Buddhist meditation. Buddhist meditation at its heart is an attempt to reach nirvana, while those who practice western meditation are reaching a relaxed state that helps to promote peace, tranquility, and happiness.

In guided meditation, guided imagery or guided relaxation techniques, the instructor offers suggestions to guide the listener into a meditative state. Visualization practices can be similarly guided, or practiced on one's own. The goal of these techniques can be relaxation, healing, uplifting emotions, inner peace or other desired outcomes.

When one hears the word "Tibet," several pop-culture images come to mind; these might include the often seen "Free Tibet!" bumper sticker, the perpetual smile of the fourteenth Dalai Lama, or the mental image of orange clad monks with shaved heads, chanting in unison. American culture has embraced many aspects of Tibetan culture in a rather superficial manner, but upon further inspection, it becomes apparent that these particular aspects have been embraced because they represent what is most important to Tibetans: their seemingly endless struggle for political freedom from an oppressive Chinese rule, the religious and political role of their charismatic leader, Tenzin Gyatso, and the role of religion

(Meditation) observes how difficult it is to get beyond the superficial and delve deeper spiritually. To meditate effectively, a person must overcome the obstacles of the devil which include noise, business, and crowds, and find silence through contemplative prayer. During Christian meditation, faithfulness and obedience are the focus, resulting in behavioral changes.

Releasing hatred is an effect of forgiving others. Forgiveness “leads to decreased stress,” which can “help to tamp down the anger,” (Chan, 2014). It relieves fears and diminishes anxiety. It is the chance to have a clean heart, without having to carry the burden of worry. Forgiveness will also “bring peace” into life and help with the ability to let go of the past (Chan, 2014). Forgiving helps to release hatred, and strengthen acceptance of the truth. Forgiving reveals the truth of life: life is what you make of it, and that you can 't just wait for something to happen. Forgiveness is a path to remaking your life and moving on from troubles.

Forgiveness and hate are two of the strongest and hardest emotions of humans. Each emotion is connected by a power of control, and can be determine by an individual action. Forgiveness has the possibility to allow someone to move beyond hate, resentment and the desire for revenge on settling the score of those who caused the harm and pain. Forgiveness is a positive act that releases the power of hate and angry for the other person and gain all power within themselves. It also leads to a life of spiritual, mental, physical and emotional peace, and joy. One cannot force forgiveness. It takes the mental capacity of being anger free which come at each person’s personal time.

Throughout research that has been done on the topic of forgiveness, there is evidence that shows a connection between forgiveness and overall well-being. When one makes the choice to forgive and not foster in those negative emotions and thought, it improves their overall well-being. When it comes to forgiveness, when an individual makes the choice to be more forgiving there is an increase of positive states, such as empathy, compassion, or hope (Harris & Thoresen, 2005). When an individual makes the choice to forgive, rather than fester in the negative emotion, there can be an increase in positive emotions, which is connected to overall well-being. Another major connection between forgiveness and well-being is that forgiveness has been linked with improved interpersonal relationships between the transgressor and the forgiver (Bono et al., 2007). This allows for a more positive mind set for the forgiver, which in turns allows for a more positive overall well-being. This then in turn links to our need for

It will research, viewpoints on forgiveness and its much needed contribution to resolve a conflict. It will look into how the field of psychology views the importance of forgiveness and that of a biblical worldview and even the effects it can have on your daily health. Not everyone looks at forgiveness the same, most all want some kind of resolution or reconciliation when conflicts arise. In some people, forgiveness comes naturally but in others it can be learned. Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Holy Bible ESV). The purpose of this paper is providing research to show the importance of forgiveness, both of oneself and to others, because without it, some conflicts become never-ending.

The first week of the Exercises is a time for reflection. This time is spent reflecting our lives considering God’s love for us as humans. The week consists of four additions. The first addition, as stated in the exercises: “is that each time one falls into that particular sin or defect, let him put his hand on his breast, grieving for having fallen…”. Simply put: during this time, people spend time to reflect on sins that may have been committed and as for forgiveness from God. Our ability to be loved by God has been prevented because of these sins we have committed. Once we have acknowledged these sins (second addition), the third addition is to compare yourself on any improvements that have been
