How Forgiveness Helps Your Body, Mind and Soul
Episode Overview
- Forgiveness is defined as releasing bitterness and resentment, not approving harmful events.
- Simple forgiveness mantras, including Ho’oponopono, can be repeated to help shift emotional energy.
- Emotions such as anger and resentment are held in organs like the heart, liver, large intestine and brain, affecting physical health.
- Research cited in the episode links forgiveness with lower blood pressure, reduced heart disease risk and less depression and anxiety.
- Viewing wounds as potential spiritual gifts can make the process of forgiving deeper and more sustainable.
“Forgiveness is truly an all-purpose remedy for healing because it's going to help to heal your body, it's going to help you heal your mind and it's going to help to heal you at the soul level.”
How do people find hope in the darkest times? This UK Health Radio episode of The Natural Healing Show centres on Catherine Carrigan, a medical intuitive healer and Amazon number one bestselling author, sharing how forgiveness can shift health on every level. Speaking directly from more than three decades of natural healing and yoga, Catherine explains why she calls forgiveness “an all-purpose remedy for healing,” affecting the physical body, emotions, mind and soul.
You’ll hear her tell a memorable church yoga story involving a heated argument, a priest “practically foaming at the mouth,” and how the “angel of forgiveness” helped calm an escalating conflict. Catherine breaks forgiveness down into practical steps rather than airy theory. She clearly defines it as letting go of bitterness and resentment, not pretending that harmful events were acceptable.
She introduces simple mantras she uses with every new client, such as: “If there is anyone or anything that has hurt me in the past, knowingly or unknowingly, I forgive and release it for the highest good of you and myself,” and the well-known Ho’oponopono: “I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. I love you.
Thank you.” The episode looks at how emotions sit in specific organs, linking anger and resentment to the liver and gallbladder, and describing research that connects forgiveness to lower blood pressure, reduced heart disease risk, better digestion and improved mood. Catherine also shares personal stories, including recognising that unprocessed resentment towards her father showed up as liver inflammation, and how viewing “the gifts of our wounds” can support deeper healing.
With references to scripture, gentle humour about making more mistakes as we age, and repeated reminders that forgiveness is a process rather than a one-off event, this conversation offers both spiritual and very practical reasons to let go. If you’re carrying old grudges, what might change in your body and mind if you began to forgive, even a little?
