Welcome to Be With Melinda.
In this session you will explore the power of forgiveness and the profound effect it can have on every area of your life.
Forgiveness is often misunderstood.
It's not weakness.
It's a powerful act of letting go,
Of healing,
And of finding inner peace.
Forgiveness is for you.
It is a process that frees you from the burden of carrying pain,
Regret,
Or suffering.
And in that release,
You reclaim your light,
Your balance,
Your energy,
Your joy,
Your vitality,
And your very well-being.
So let's begin with the breath.
Take a slow inhale through your nose.
Hold gently for as long as you can.
And exhale fully through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale deeply,
Welcoming light and ease.
And exhale,
Letting go of heaviness.
Each breath is a chance to begin again.
Just as you exhale to release pressure from the body,
Forgiveness allows you to release the pressures and burdens of the heart.
Breathe in deeply.
And breathe out,
Letting go of what no longer serves you.
Forgiveness is the greatest gift of compassion that you give to yourself.
Now bring to mind a situation or memory that is weighed on you.
Imagine it out in front of you,
Far enough away that you feel safe,
Like a small picture on a screen.
You're only observing.
As you breathe in,
Whisper this ho'oponopono prayer.
I'm sorry.
As you breathe out,
Whisper,
Please forgive me.
And inhale,
Thank you.
And exhale,
I love you.
Continue breathing with these words and allow the memory to soften,
To loosen,
To dissolve.
Take another deep breath in.
Hold.
And exhale fully.
Again,
Breathing in gently,
Gathering all that you are ready to release.
And breathe out,
Letting it go completely.
Forgiveness is like the exhale,
A clearing,
A lightening,
A freedom.
Repeat this ho'oponopono prayer again.
Inhale,
I'm sorry.
Exhale,
Please forgive me.
Inhale,
Thank you.
And exhale,
I love you.
Take a final deep inhale,
Filling with light.
Pause and exhale slowly,
Resting in peace.
Know this truth.
Forgiveness is your freedom.
It untethers you from the past and opens you to the beauty of this moment.
When you are ready,
Gently return your awareness to your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Soften your eyes open.
Carry these words with you.
They are yours at any moment of the day.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
And with each breath,
May you remember you are whole,
You are free,
And you are light.
