Hello and welcome to this beautiful self-forgiveness practice.
Most of us are so hard on ourselves,
Even harder than we realize.
And so it is very important to come back to self-forgiveness every single day,
Maybe multiple times a day,
Whenever necessary.
Because you deserve forgiveness,
Freedom,
And love.
When we practice self-forgiveness,
It can lead to deep emotional and physical healing.
It also allows for a deepening of the meaningful connections we have with others.
My intention is that this self-forgiveness practice allows you to see yourself through the eyes of love and compassion and brings about profound healing.
And that it allows more joy,
Freedom,
Love,
And ease into your life.
As we move into the practice,
I suggest you use your own name.
For example,
I would say,
Andrea Henkels,
I forgive you.
And so now I invite you to get comfortable,
Either lying down or sitting in a comfy chair,
Whatever is most comfortable for you.
And we will begin by gently letting our eyes close and bringing all of our energy back to this moment.
Beginning to tune into your body and your breath.
Just feeling the rise and fall of your chest and abdomen as you breathe in and out.
Just beginning to notice if there's any tension you're holding onto,
Any heaviness,
And where it is in your body.
And just allowing your breath to go to these areas,
Allowing you to relax even more.
As we start to release anything that's ready to go,
As we accept all that is.
Intending that we see ourselves through the eyes of love,
Through the eyes of compassion,
And just offering ourselves profound kindness.
As we begin to offer ourselves forgiveness.
And continuing to breathe,
Feeling your body become more and more relaxed.
Your mind begin to settle as you move into your heart.
Allowing yourself to feel fully,
To experience this forgiveness practice fully.
Embracing the following words as your own,
Intending that they bring deep and profound and incredible healing.
Knowing that you are worthy of forgiveness from yourself and from others.
It is time to let go.
It is time to forgive.
It is time to be free.
It is time to remember all the goodness you are worthy and deserving of.
And so just keep breathing as you allow the words to enter your mind,
Your heart,
Your soul.
Allowing yourself to fully relax and release.
