What if forgiveness isn't about the past ––

but about the freedom to live more fully now? 

Most of us have tried to “let it go.”

 Tried to move on.
Tried to be bigger than what hurt us.

But real forgiveness isn’t an act of will.
 

It’s the freedom that comes when the residue of old pain
no longer shapes your reactions, your relationships,
or the quieter choices you make when no one else sees.

You've felt this Presence before:

• in moments of wholeness

• in glimpses of deep peace

• in the felt-sense of true freedom 

On Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 11am Pacific you’re invited to a free introduction to the Forgiveness process—a gentle hour to feel this work from the inside.

Why Forgiveness Is So Difficult

Forgiveness challenges us not because we’re unwilling, but because hurt becomes part of our inner architecture:

• The nervous system reacts to memory as if it were present.
• The emotional body holds unspoken grief and unmet longing.
• Identity forms around incomplete stories.
• Ancestral patterns hand us unfinished business.
  

We repeat the past without wanting to.
Not out of failure — but because the imprint lives deeper than the thinking mind can reach.

And while we can live with these patterns for years — even decades —
eventually they dim our joy, narrow our choices, and quiet the truest parts of our heart.

There is a path through.
A path that meets the wound where it actually lives.

What Makes This Work Different

The Three Levels of Real Transformation
Most forgiveness teachings try to shift the story. Helpful — yet incomplete.
This work moves through three intertwined levels:

The Story

The meanings woven around the experience — your interpretations, roles, and identity patterns.

The Storage

Where the imprint actually lives: the nervous system, the emotional field, the subtle body, and the ancestral layer.
This is where change becomes lasting, because this is where the wound continues to act.

The Source

The field of Loving Awareness — what the Kriya lineage calls the inner Witness, the Wisdom Heart.
From this center, the wound is not avoided or overwritten. It is held in a way that allows it to soften and release.

And when people finally touch this Source within themselves,
the struggle to “forgive” shifts into something else entirely—
an uncoiling, a softening,
a remembering.
The work begins to work on you.

“Eric is a trustworthy guide for opening the heart after deep emotional wounding.”
— Raphael Cushnir

What You’ll Learn

Across 12 weeks, you’ll learn practices that help you:

• Release the emotional charge of old memories
• Soften reactivity in the body and breath
• Resolve the past without reliving or analyzing it
• Reconnect with the Loving Aware Presence that is home
• Live with more clarity, compassion, and steadiness
  

Three core practices guide the journey:

• A gentle inner process for releasing pain at the root
  
• A new way of meeting your history with space and safety
• A heart-centered meditation that reconnects you to Presence

The 12-Week Journey

This journey is not about pushing yourself.
It is about meeting yourself—week by week—
with enough spaciousness that real change can take root.

Weeks 1–3 — Foundation

• Discover why you are not your memories

• Learn to view experience from the Wisdom Heart

• Begin softening protective patterns
  

Weeks 4–6 — Core Practices

• Deepen Aham Prema meditation

• Learn the Waterfall Practice and Timeline Work

• Explore how energy and memory weave together
  

Weeks 7–9 — Integration

• Meet resistance with compassion

• See how forgiveness becomes a way of being

• Experience the first shifts in daily life
  

Weeks 10–12 — Embodiment

• Bring the work into relationships and daily choices

• Recognize yourself as a point of healing in your lineage

• Establish a rhythm that sustains long-term transformation
  

Because forgiveness is not a single moment —
it’s a way of inhabiting your life.
And once it becomes embodied, everything changes.

“This work went deeper than anything I’ve tried. Ancient teachings became practical and alive.”

Join Me for the Free Introduction

Wednesday, January 28, 11:00 am Pacific Time

In this session, you will:

• Explore how old patterns live across body, heart, and energy
• Learn the core framework for releasing past hurt
• Practice a gentle guided exercise

A Personal Invitation

After fifty years of guiding people, I’ve seen this again and again:
forgiveness opens the doorway to real peace and real freedom.

Not the peace of pretending—but the peace where old tension releases, where memory softens, and where the heart can love, work, and live without carrying the past forward.

If something in you is stirring, trust it.
You don’t have to be fully ready—just willing.

Grateful,
E.
