Forgiveness can often feel like a challenge. Why is it so difficult? In the typical understanding of forgiveness, the person may still feel like a victim even after forgiving. How does this happen? Your body stores every experience you’ve ever had, even when your conscious mind forgets or tries to move on. While your brain may forget as a survival mechanism, your body holds on to the memories, especially those tied to pain and victimhood.
This pattern of victimhood, often running unnoticed, can shape your life in limiting ways. You might ask, “Why does this always happen to me?” Deep within, your body holds onto the experience of being wronged—by a person, event, or situation. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay stuck in the role of the victim. You can release the emotional baggage and set yourself free.
Forgiveness Doesn’t Have to Be Painful
There’s a way to forgive that doesn’t have to be radical or painful. It’s practical, empowering, and restores your sense of self from the inside out. Imagine your body, soul, and every cell celebrating freedom from the past. Forgiveness simply means “for you to give” yourself the chance to step back and observe—no longer as a participant or victim, but as someone who can see the situation clearly.
The people who may have hurt you were likely acting out of fear, uncertainty, or insecurity. They didn’t know who you were, and they didn’t even know who they truly were at the time. This isn’t about judgment; it’s about seeing things as they are. Many times, these people were afraid you’d discover their own weaknesses, so they ruled through control and manipulation.
Breaking Free from the Past
When you were a child, you probably didn’t have the words or understanding to say “No” or “Stop.” The adults in your life seemed like they had all the answers, so you trusted them. But often, they were just doing their best—based on what they knew, or rather, what they didn’t know. They had been victims themselves, and that cycle continued.
Now, as you step into the role of the observer, you can see that these experiences were part of a larger script. You and the other person were playing roles, and once you understand this, you can release the emotional ties that have held you back. When you detach from these emotions as an observer, you let go—permanently. Your future becomes unburdened by the past, and forgiveness becomes a natural part of your journey to self-freedom.
Experience True Freedom with Forgiveness
Forgiveness allows you to move forward, unshackled from what you can’t change. You, your body, your soul, and your spirit can finally be free.
