Publisher's Synopsis
Do you know of someone in your life who you cannot possibly bring yourself to forgive? When you think of that person, what feelings arise? It's likely, muses Eckhart Tolle, that none of those sensations are happiness, calm, or contentment. None of this is unfamiliar to the renowned author and luminary, who has taught on the nature of perception, selfhood, and the roots of negative emotions for more than 20 years. Holding on to old wounds, he reflects, is one of the surest signs that you are caught in the egoic thinking of the false self. 'Forgiveness Is Freeing' brings together Eckhart's most potent talks about what it means to let go of grievances and fully accept the shape of your past. Through insightful practices, he shows us how to cultivate nonjudgment and equanimity when others overstep your boundaries, and why the worst grudges are the ones we hold against ourselves.
