EP 632: Forgiveness, Gazelles, and The Poly Vagal Theory

Published: Feb. 4, 2022, 10:24 p.m.

Yesterday, I talked about the value of kindness in helping us maintain our balance and regulation so we can be available and show up to our moment-to-moment experience.

\n

Another really powerful force we can all access that will provide the same regulation and presence is kinda where kindness and acceptance meet: Forgiveness.

\n

When we forgive, we allow our bodies to become calm and free from the resentment that distracts us from the present moment experience.

\n

In today\u2019s video, I go into the science behind all of this and I even tell a story about a stress expert in Africa telling us about what happens when a cheetah chases a gazelle.

\n

I hope you enjoy it!

\n

Reminder: This Saturday, I\u2019ll be covering the concepts and science behind Lovingkindness, and I hope to inspire you with the many real-life benefits available through these simple, yet powerful practices.

\n

Of course, I\u2019ll be going over the practices as well and providing you with take-home materials. (Even though you\u2019ll already be home. It\u2019s a zoom meeting.)

\n

I hope you can join us!
