What is RADICAL FORGIVENESS?

RADICAL FORGIVENESS is a method developed by COLIN TIPPING, who has distilled the basic principles common to most spiritual teachings and adapted them to very simple tools that can be easily applied to every day situations often with quick results.
TIPPING discovered a great deal about healing while working with cancer patients, and he makes the point that in America alone, one out of every five people take anti-depressants.  Keeping in mind that in most cases, Depression precedes Cancer, is it more than a coincidence that one of five Americans die of Cancer?  This was personally significant for me because I watched my Father struggle with depression and die of cancer and I too, wrestled with Depression.
What they realized in the Radical Forgiveness workshops– is that when people can release old stories from the past that keep them locked in feelings of resentment, anger, sadness, guilt, shame, grief—feelings that when suppressed over time can cause blockages that materialize in our bodies as emotional and physical diseases – when these suppressed emotions are released, people free up enormous potential!
So it becomes essential to our good health and well being to clear out the old stuff we’ve been holding onto, in our psyche…to clean our our psychic closet!
This also ties into the work of medical intuitive, Caroline Myss, author of numerous books including five New York Times Best Sellers; the idea being – and quantum physics would go along with this, that every thing is made up of energy.  When you magnify a cell what do you see?   You see the cell’s nucleus and nothing else but empty space which is energy.   Applying that idea to the Radical Forgiveness process means that when you can reconcile and release the past, you liberate more of your energy in the present. Energy to create health, abundance, fulfilling relationships, service to others, whatever you want!
The exercises are very simple and yet the results can be quite profound.  Because the core of process is offering our willingness to change and then surrendering to divine intelligence, trusting that our perceptions will be transformed.
With the Radical Forgiveness tools, we find the way to shift our perception, knowing that what happens to us, happens for us and is meant for our growth. We understand that the way we perceive things is how it will be for us – if we feel like a victim of circumstances then we will find evidence to support that point of view.
With the Radical Forgiveness technology, we focus on the solution, pro-actively moving toward change, as opposed to long-term therapy which focuses on the problem, sometimes for years.
Using the RF tools you process issues at an accelerated rate, which often brings up resistance.  We may want to put up road-blocks, especially if  we’ve become attached to and identified with our “victim story.”
We feel in control because, we know who we are in this story, the character we’ve been playing for so long is familiar and, on some level, feels safe.  Consciously, we may insist that we want to change but there is a part of us that may not and will unconsciously sabotage the good changes so we will fall back into old patterns.
Another aspect is fearing that if we change and move out of our stuck place—we will probably ruffle the feathers of other’s who are used to us being a certain way (disempowered, easily controlled and manipulated.) When we start shifting we’re no longer in resonance with folks who want to hang onto the old story–the old way of being, and often we will need to let go of those relationships, at least for a period of time, while we integrate the changes.
We may consciously be declaring that we want to be the creator of our lives, but let’s face it all that power can be scary, especially if we’ve spent a good portion of our lives feeling disempowered.   That unconscious part of us may want to disrupt our efforts – feeling that it’s easier to let someone else take responsibility-because if we try it and it doesn’t work out -then we can blame them.  The practice is to teach this part of ourselves that ultimately, no one is to blame and to evolve beyond the “blame game.”  If we can do this, we can create an enormous shift in our lives that will reverberate beyond limits we can comprehend.  The Radical Forgiveness technology assists us in doing this.
This method isn’t for everybody-it’s got an “R-rating”, it’s for those who are READY!
Ready to accept that what happened to you, happened FOR you and is meant for your spiritual growth. Though it’s impossible to see the big picture from our human vantage point, we can still make a regular practice to go within and connect with the divine intelligence, that higher truth – and come to realize a place of allowing things to be as they are – it is in acceptance of that, we find peace.
