Guided Meditation for Forgiveness

Speaker 1

Hey there , this is a meditation for forgiveness and letting go of things you've been holding on to , whether it be old ideas or old thoughts , or ruminating in old situations . Whichever it is it is . I'm offering you an opportunity to reflect , to heal and to forgive and finally let go of anything you've been holding on to . With your body resting comfortably , allow the eyes to gently shut or , if you're sitting , simply lower your gaze . Connecting with the breath , feel the soothing and rocking sensation of your inhale and your exhale , your own divine internal rhythm , your ally , your breath . I'm going to guide our body and mind into a calm and relaxed and supported state , feeling the breath travel in through the nose , filling your chest and lungs , filling your chest and lungs and , as you exhale , feeling the body release , as the air leaves your body . On your next inhale , pause at the top for a moment and then exhale and release , repeating this process on your own rhythm inhale , pause and releasing slowly and longer . Take a few deep breaths here , bringing your awareness now to the rest of your body . Notice any sensations you might be feeling of tightness or tension or pain , drawing your breath now into these areas With each exhale again , feeling the body surrender , relax and let go . Allow yourself permission . This is the time for you to receive the healing that you seek , a time to let go of resentment , to let go of worry or anger or pain . This time is just for you to process and a time to forgive , in your mind as you breatheently repeat the affirmation I am safe and strong . I am safe and strong . Know that as you go through this process , that you are in control . You are at choice . Choice .

The process of forgiveness allows us to release past hurt and shame , guilt and pain , bringing our energy back to ourselves , allowing us to move forward , to break free from patterns and create new , positive , fulfilling experiences . And as you continue to be connected with the breath , I want you to bring to mind a person or a situation , or maybe a thought , that you wish to forgive or release . This may be something from your past or it might be something from the present . It may even be what you are looking to forgive yourself for , to set yourself free from guilt or shame or disappointment , and to recognize that you deserve to live a life where you feel confident , loved and loving , knowing and expressing that your heart is kind , full , authentic and true . And as you bring this person or situation to mind . I want you to visualize a chair in front of you . Imagine that you see that person sitting in that chair , or , if it's a situation , the situation playing out in front of you . If you're focusing on self-forgiveness , well then . See yourself sitting in that chair .

Speaker 1

Take a few breaths here as you visualize this and now in your mind , call upon what it is you would like to forgive or what you would like to be forgiven for . See that person or situation or self . How do you feel ? How do you feel feel ? Allow your body to feel those emotions in your mind . Visualize repeating all that you wish to say , knowing that you no longer wish or need to carry it with you . Again , visualize repeating all that you wish to say , knowing that you no longer need to carry it within you , to carry it within you . And as you look at the person in the chair with the situation playing out in front of you , you see it with new eyes . You're looking at it from your higher self , and your higher self is reminding you that carrying this pain within you or negative emotions is not serving you .

Speaker 1

It's time to release and forgive the situation once and for all , to free up some energetic space . As you see the situation , you repeat I'm sorry , please forgive me , thank you , I love you . I'm sorry , please forgive me , thank you , I love you .

Emotional Healing Meditation Experience

Speaker 1

Each time as you repeat this phrase , the situation and the person seem to dissolve a little bit , fading further and further back , further and further away from you . Watch it as it drifts away and as you look upon the situation . You look down by your side and by your side there is a beautiful crystal saber vibrating with light and positivity and beautiful energy , and beautiful energy . You pick up the saber and you hold it and then , with one great big swing , you cut through this projection in front of you . You cut through any cords of attachment that remain to the situation , the story that you've been telling yourself . And as you cut through this final image , it dissolves into a million pieces , like little diamonds in the sky , and as you watch this happening , you take in a great big inhale and as you exhale , you blow all of those pieces out to the universe to be healed and held by Mother Earth , to be healed and transmuted with love . You place the saber down on the ground and notice the feeling of relief , emotion and freedom Placing your hands over your heart , now allowing the final process of this healing to take place , and again repeating in your mind , with your hands on your heart I'm sorry , please forgive me , thank you , I love you .

Speaker 1

You stand with your hands on your heart and you feel a sense of warmth envelop you . This warmth surrounds you like a halo , holds you and heals you . You know and you feel in your core , in your essence , that you are supported . You are ready to move forward freely , feeling a tremendous sense of release that allows your heart to fill with peace , breathing and feeling that warmth and healing penetrate your body from the top of your head down through your face , your neck , your shoulders and your chest and your ribs , your stomach and all the way down your torso , all the way to your torso , all the way to your feet , feeling safe and held and strong .

Speaker 1

Enjoy this sensation , absorb it into your being . Enjoy this sensation , absorb it into your being . I'm going to slowly guide you back from this meditation , beginning to ground your energy , feeling the weight of your body on your seat or your bed , bringing gentle movement to your fingers and your toes , maybe even wrapping your arms around yourself and giving yourself a great big hug , taking a nice deep breath , smiling and exhaling , allowing the eyes to open . When you're ready , you can stay here , take this feeling into your sleep , or you can bring yourself back . Either way , sending so much love and light from me to you . My friends , so grateful for you , namaste .
