Dara McKinlay - How to Forgive

In this episode of Resilience Unravelled, Dr Russell Thackeray meets Dara McKinlay who is an expert on teaching the path to forgiveness. They discuss the concept of forgiveness, its relationship with spirituality and healing and its practical application in personal relationships. Dara was initially sceptical about the concept of forgiveness, viewing it as impractical, until experiencing a relationship problem that prompted her to explore it further. She found forgiveness surprisingly effective and realised it differed from the ability to pardon others as she had previously understood. In this podcast Dara explores the idea of forgiveness as a spiritual process involving unconditional love, the importance of balancing the left and right hemispheres of the brain for emotional intelligence and creativity and shares her personal journey of forgiveness.
