A Conversation with Dara McKinley, Forgiveness Teacher

Dara McKinley has studied and worked in the realm of spirituality and health for over three decades. In 2012, difficult life circumstances pointed her to forgiveness. She realized that many spoke prolifically about why we should forgive but no one spoke of how. Her background in psychology enabled her to successfully create and follow a forgiveness path that worked, but in the years that followed, the experience made her see some significant themes. In particular, she saw how mainstream forgiveness understanding (pardoning, ceasing anger, having compassion, and letting go) was obscuring the forgiveness path. She also saw that people who identified as spiritual-but-not-religious required a forgiveness path that was clear, and logical. This inspired Dara to devote her professional life to understanding forgiveness’ infrastructure and to making forgiveness the practical healing modality it was always meant to be.Dara teaches a course on forgiveness. "At its essence, forgiveness is a person’s ability to apply unconditional love and the ability to identify exactly what needs it," Dara says. "When these two skills are practiced over a consistent period of time, freedom prevails."In this episode, Dara discusses:• Interpersonal vs. Intrapersonal forgiveness• Compassion vs. forgiveness• The three timeframes that forgiveness can address• How we are all anatomically designed to forgiveLearn more:https://howtoforgive.com/https://www.instagram.com/DaraMcKinley/https://www.facebook.com/DaraMckinley108
