Forgive & Let Go – On Global Forgiveness Day

Today is World forgiveness Day! Many of us don’t realize the critical importance of forgiveness in our own mental health, joy, peace, freedom and the ability to live our fullest lives. It’s a joy to share with you, this personal reading from my memoir Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation (if you haven’t gotten your copy yet, please do) . This is a reading of a very deep and powerful experience of forgiveness and letting go… Sharing my own personal story of how I was able to let go of not only the suffering that had afflicted me so deeply but also the identification as the one who suffered, and what a blessing to read it to you from the waters of Mother Ganga where it all happened!….

Learning to forgive and let go was the most powerful lesson that I was ever gifted with because I never thought it was really possible. I never thought that I could really be free of the struggles, of the challenges of the experience that I had had. It’s now more than 25 years ago, when I was given that beautiful and extraordinary instruction by Puyja Swamij to just “give it to the river”. And here in this place, right here on the banks of Mother Ganga, it is here that this story begins.
