Are You Being Present?

The Presence Projects presents episode 82 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series.  Join Paul for a podcast that addresses forgiveness, the challenges it creates, the way it's been presented and how it can be reframed with Presence. The title and topic of this episode is “Forgiveness Is a Gift You Give Yourself in the Present Moment".  In this podcast Paul speaks about forgiveness and how it can be, and needs to be, perceived as a precious gift that you give to yourself.  This gift can release the past, not by forgiving those who have caused you pain.  But by allowing you to forgive yourself for holding onto the pain that your ego had used against you to keep you in a perpetual state of suffering.  Forgiveness has been presented as a tool that can help heal past trauma, but often the act of forgiving those who have hurt us will inadvertently retraumatize us and cause more pain and suffering.  These actions have the potential to keep us in a loop allowing the ego to take us out of the Present moment and
