Develop A Forgiveness Practice

I have come to a time in life where there are likely less days ahead than there are behind me, and it has taken me quite some time to realise that forgiveness does not adapt itself to our timetables or goal setting, or expectations. I have had a very varied life and experience and, like most of you, have had a great deal to be forgiven for and to forgive. I have found that the expectations created through my journeying through personal development and self-help led me to believe that I could and should be able to process the events of my life quickly, efficiently and neatly, and that the mind can always determine outcome.

It has been in the practice of forgiveness that I have been blessed with the understanding that forgiveness, like all things good, true, and beautiful, is a grace and a presence which we cannot command, but we can cooperate with. This realisation dawned slowly over many years of recurring disappointment when I would find myself angry, irritated, and dejected by the fact that something I thought I had ‘dealt with’ surfaced again, not once, but many times.

So, throughout this course, our only goal is to engage with the presence and energy of forgiveness and to develop the 'heartset' and tools that will allow forgiveness to become a practice rather than a goal. When we set specific outcomes or expectations around forgiveness, we can limit its restorative, healing action. Throughout the course we will be seeking to meet forgiveness on its own terms, according to its timetable and kindness. Forgiveness lives in the landscape of the heart and has no use for reasons or objectives, or for perfection.

Rather, the landscape of the heart is deep with generosity, wide with unthinkable possibility, and bathed in kindness, especially for yourself. In the endeavour of forgiveness, kindness to yourself is the most important ingredient. And to have kindness work with you, you must come with no agenda. Then, it can move and breathe and live you into what you need at this time in your life.

Over the next 10 days we will look at what forgiveness means to you, what it is and is not, and how unconscious beliefs about ourselves form our attitudes to forgiveness. Finally, we will spend some time working through different levels of forgiveness and learning the basis of a daily examination practice that I hope will accompany you through your life.

This course is for you if you have found yourself meeting your past over and over again in recurrent patterns, if you are angry with yourself for not being able to forgive, and if you want to meet yourself with kindness, compassion. It's also for you if you want to move from the field of your mind, intention, and goal setting to the field of your heart, intuition, and receptivity.

There are 10 sessions. Each session is approximately 10 to 15 minutes long. In each session we will contemplate an aspect of forgiveness, and you will be asked to journal about the experience.

You will need a pen or pencil and a notebook. I will be in the classroom each day answering any questions you may have. I hope that you will join us and invite the astonishing power and tenderness of forgiveness into your life.

This course put forgiveness into a new perspective for me. I will return to it in the future to strengthen my practice.

Wow and thank you ! This has been encouraging and validating! I know I will return often! As there is a lot ! Loved the island and prison analogy! Thank you and Namaste 🙏

Outstanding course - Rich with ideas for living a heart-centered life! Thank you Jane for expertly weaving language and metaphor into your teaching.

One of the most significant healing journeys I have ever experienced….thank you 🙏

Such a rich, thoughtful course. I appreciated how organized it is, each lesson touching on a particular subject, allowing you to learn more about forgiveness while also looking inwards. The quality or the recording is also notable. I am greatful for the knowledge I have acquired over these ten days. Thank you.

Excellent examination of forgiveness and how to learn to practice it

If I could give this course ten stars, I would. It was enlightening and impactful. I feel confident I can work on forgiveness on my own now. Peacebeam’s loving presence, way with words, metaphors, visualizations and exercises were inspired. 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

I learned a lot about myself during this course. The prison concept was very helpful and empowering. And 'the Kindness of Time' phrasing is reassuring and allows me to embrace forgiveness with less pressure and more confidence. Thank you for your sweet voice!! ⚘

Kind compassionate process for getting in touch with me, myself and I, and how we relate to the world inside and out.

Excellent. Beautifully delivered, lots of exercises and well structured

This is an amazing course that was lovingly and thoughtfully put together. A gift that I will incorporate into my daily practice. I have struggled with my ‘prisoners’ for many years, and this will help me to learn a process, a groundwork, that I am excited to make a part of my practice.
