Today's meditation is the second part of the forgiveness series.
And first of all we started by trying our best to forgive ourselves and see how it feels to be fully accepting and forgiving towards our own wrongdoings.
And now we're going to extend this forgiveness to other people,
To people in our lives that might stir some negative emotions within ourselves.
So that can be anger or resentment or jealousy.
Whatever it is,
Just bring to mind someone.
And you can begin gently here,
So try to pick someone that is not related to a trauma for example.
Just start small for now.
Just pick a person that you might have had a little blip in the past with.
But you feel like it is now available to you to forgive themselves.
You want to forgive them and you want to liberate them from this burden which comes within your own energy and the way you interact with them.
And then also liberate yourself from all these negative feelings that you're holding towards them.
So pick that person right now and be very very gentle with yourself.
Again drop any expectations.
It's completely fine if this practice turns out to be more difficult than you thought.
Forgiveness is a process but it can also be very simple and very gentle.
So remember to honour yourself at any point.
Just remain gentle and loving towards yourself.
So take a comfortable seated position.
Allow yourself to soften.
Take a deep breath in.
Soften your body,
Soften your mind.
Allow yourself to feel the stillness.
You might perhaps pick it up in that space between your breaths or in that silent space between my words.
And now that you pick the person that you want to practice forgiveness with,
Place your hand on your heart.
And just say,
May I have the power to forgive you.
May I be strong enough to look at the things you did to me and to accept them as they are.
To recognise that you are also human.
That you also need love and acceptance.
And that you also grow into this world carrying a baggage with you.
And this baggage might not be necessarily your fault.
But that baggage can affect me and can upset me.
But I recognise you are also human.
And today I make the conscious decision to forgive you.
I forgive you for myself.
I liberate myself from the emotions that you stir in me.
And I also liberate yourself.
Take your time here.
Allow your heart to soften.
Just be gentle and patient.
Take a deep breath.
And remind yourself to remain soft and gentle and loving.
It is safe to take as much time as you need to in this space.
You would want to journal the things you are feeling right now.
To take them out.
Just pour your soul on paper.
Or you might want to return to this practice.
This practice of forgiveness.
Just take another moment to thank yourself here for showing up today.
I am sending you lots of love and light.
And I hope you feel a little bit more liberated.
A little lighter.
Thank you for listening.
