I read the book "Forgiveness" by Iyanla Vanzant. I received the book from Hay House for review purposes. I was not compensated for the review and it is based on my own personal experience and opinion.
The book walks readers through a 21 day program of forgiveness to heal yourself. It challenges us to let of past hurts and embrace a new pattern using the power of forgiveness. The book obviously caught my attention because I wanted to read it. I was not prepared for how it would change me.
It walks readers through each step including a daily mediation, prayer, journaling, tapping and a gratitude meditation. I really liked the straightforward steps. While it sounds like a lot to do each day, it really only takes 30 to 60 minutes. In fact, each time I was closer to 30 minutes.
When I first received the book, I thought I had few things to forgive but couldn't imagine each forgiveness applied to me. Was I wrong. She identifies your mother, father, yourself, your partner, your judgments, and even God. I was surprised how much I had to forgive, especially myself. The insights I had about myself were powerful and many were surprising. So surprising that I went through it quicker than 21 days because I could not wait to get to the next step of forgiveness. Each step lead to a feeling of relief and encouragement. The relief surprised me because I did not realize the burdens I had been carrying. Forgiveness is a powerful, uplifting emotion.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone on any journey. You may be surprised at what you realize about yourself! I am grateful to Iyanla Vanzant for guiding me on my journey!
