Summary

Dara McKinley teaches how to forgive. After studying psychology and spirituality for most of her life, an unlikely turn of events pointed Dara toward the forgiveness path. Upon searching online for a forgiveness how-to, Dara only found information about why one should forgive. Needing directions to follow, she decided to make her own forgiveness step-by-step, which, upon completion, left her feeling peaceful for the first time in three years. Impressed by the effectiveness of forgiveness, she quickly became a devotee and now changes lives by teaching participants about her practical spiritual process that restores inner peace.

Thoughts on Breathing I am big into movement, and moving in a really organic way.  Moving in an instinctual and intuitive way that allows us to breathe. Bullying Story When people are in emotionally healthy environments, they don't act out on others as much.  When somebody isn't taking care of their emotional side, they often toss it onto somebody else.  Forgiveness is a huge key to emotional health. I look forward to a more emotionally attuned world.  I think people are really seeing the consequences of pathologizing vulnerability.  At the core of Buddhism is the tender heart of sadness. I love the fact that Buddhism names it.   Suggested Resources Book: Outrageous Openness by Tasha Silver App: n/a  Related Episodes Second Sun Insights; Kristof Morrow Learn How To Shift; Amy Scruggs\\ Let Forgiveness Bring You Peace
