Abstract:
Although forgiveness is hard work, it enables individuals who have gone through unfairness and
harm outgrow the pain of resentment and hostility to a condition of wellness and health. Still, it
is possible that authentic forgiveness, regardless of significant violations may, as a matter of
choice occur when the injured have hitherto achieved proficiency with the forgiveness praxis by
practicing consistently. This manuscript suggests a brief dispositional forgiveness praxis that
permits individuals to achieve experience in forgiving trivial faults on a consistent basis. Even
though other forgiveness practices are in existence, this praxis is distinctive in that it draws from
a philosophically and scientifically firm appreciation of the forgiveness procedures and is
supposed to build up ones’ capacity to forgive in the circumstances of more difficult wounding
and unfairness that may occur ahead. Individual persons engage in this praxis by meditating upon
smaller instances of wrongdoing from their everyday life and wade through six steps, each
informed by inquiry in forgiveness counseling and self-understanding; to move from anger to
empathy. A case study is provided to demonstrate one personal experience in engaging in one of
consistent forgiveness praxis in the repercussions of a small wrongdoing.
