The
The Findhorn Book of Forgiveness is a valuable tool for
those who sincerely seek peace in their lives. It gives a clear
framework for understanding the true nature of forgiveness, as
well as discussing the implications for us when we do aspire to
that path.
The book outlines simple practical steps and techniques we can
use to help us in our efforts to learn and practise forgiveness
with ourselves and others in our daily lives. Illustrative case
histories and stories of forgiveness and healing are also
included, as well as methods and approaches for helping others
to forgive.
Though the underlying philosophy is inspired by A Course in
Miracles® this book is applicable to us all, and is
readily understandable by those not familiar with the Course.

Review from the Miracle Network Michael Dawson's new book is full of forgiveness exercises of all kinds, both from A Course in Miracles and from Dawson's own repertoire. The exercises follow an excellent, comprehensive and clear overview of the theory of forgiveness, including the reasons we might be reluctant to forgive, false and true forgiveness, the healing benefits of forgiveness, on forgiving our 'enemies' and dealing with world events. Exercises include self-forgiveness, the 'AAA' approach (awareness, acceptance and asking for help), helping others to forgive themselves, forgiving others, changing our perception and uniting with another. "Peace of mind," Michael Dawson says, "is a rare quality to find in this world. The strife we observe all around us mirrors the discord in our own minds. The path of forgiveness takes us back into ourselves, where the source of all conflict begins. Forgiveness asks us to stop pointing our finger at the people and events in the world as the cause of our pain and turn, instead, to the unforgiven thoughts in our own minds. Here we can create change, which will lead to an ever-increasing sense of inner peace." Ian Patrick Miracle Network www.miracles.org.uk Cygnus Book Review THE FINDHORN BOOK OF FORGIVENESS Michael Dawson In The Findhorn Book of Forgiveness, Michael Dawson invites us to stop seeing the world as the source of our pain and encourages us to bring a non-judgemental awareness to the contents of our own mind - the only place where healing can occur. As we surrender our pain to the healing power of spirit, we gradually remove the veils we have created between our physical selves and our spiritual reality: a state of inner peace and joy that is not dependent on anything in the world. To help you take the journey of forgiveness, Michael Dawson offers lots of really useful exercises and techniques, and illustrates the process with inspirational stories and case histories of forgiveness and healing.
