Forgiveness – Book Review
If you have ever been hurt or betrayed by someone you trusted – if you carry deep wounds inside that you just can’t seem to recover from – if you have difficulty forgetting how someone from your past once wronged you – then you know that forgiveness can be one of the most difficult tasks in the world. Most likely, you also know – through personal experience – that left to fester, unforgiveness will eat away at your insides and negatively impact every area of your life.
If there are areas of your life where unforgiveness resides, and you are looking for a New Thought book that will help you to identify and work through these issues, than you may be interested in Iyanla Vanzant’s new book Forgiveness – 21 Days To Forgive Everyone For Everything.
A lot of books have been written about forgiveness, but Iyanla’s book is unique in several ways. In Part 1, The Practice – Iyanla helps you to make the mind-body connection between the blocked energy in your bodies that stems from negative thoughts, beliefs, emotions and memories that results in physical or psychological pain. She provides a chart of Emotional Trigger Words to help you identify what you are feeling when you think about certain things – and she introduces a technique called the EFT Energy Tapping Process to help those with energy blockages experience release.
In Part 2, 21 Days Of Forgiveness, Iyanla identifies 21 areas to work through where we are likely to have people we need to forgive – starting with ourselves. She also includes personal stories, daily forgiveness process reminders, and journal exercises throughout this section.
Iyanla also includes a CD with the book.
What I liked most about Forgiveness is that, by going through the 21-day process, it helps you to identify areas in your life where you may need to forgive others (or yourself) that you were previously unaware of.
The book is well-written and will be appreciated by its target audience.
