Welcome to this meditation.
I'm Chris kotlowski.
And our topic is forgiveness.
Let's start with a collective breath together.
Breathe in deeply.
And exhale.
As you continue breathing deeply,
Allow your thoughts to settle.
Breathe in and as you exhale,
Let go of any control,
Relaxing your jaw.
Being vulnerable is not always feeling comfortable.
For this moment,
Envision dropping an anchor that will ground you heavily to your own heart and your own emotions.
Why is it difficult for us to say,
I'm sorry?
When you hear those words,
I'm sorry.
When you think about speaking now.
Sometimes our defenses kick in,
Maybe from embarrassment,
Or shame.
Or if we're hearing them from someone that has harmed us,
We may feel like we're feeling on the attack.
Apologies are difficult.
When you say I'm sorry,
Think of it being one sided with no expectations of anything in return.
When we speak the words,
I'm sorry,
We need to mean them.
And if we're face to face with someone that we need to say those words to,
We look them in the eyes and know that once they're said,
It is done.
That holds you back from speaking,
Anger,
Frustration,
Jealousy,
Resentment.
And what are your thoughts towards situations or people that have harmed you?
Move from a place of thinking to a place of feeling.
What are you feeling right now?
Try to place a word on your emotions.
Maybe visualize yourself in the situation or with the person whom harmed you.
What are the circumstances?
Maybe you feel justified.
Maybe you weren't.
Breathe in slowly and exhale slowly.
Once more,
Breathe in and hold and exhale.
Maybe whisper to yourself,
I'm sorry.
That sorry is to yourself.
And now whisper,
I'm sorry.
And those words are for someone else.
For right now,
Remain hopeful and look forward.
Keep your health,
Your physical health,
Your mental health foremost in mind.
Live fully and live with gratitude.
Locate those emotions with wisdom.
Seek joy.
Seek freedom.
Seek forgiveness.
Greetings as always.
Greetings.
May you go forward with ease.
May you go forward.
Live within the moments of your emotions and following this meditation,
Maybe journal.
Put a pen to paper.
As you go from a thinking mode to a feeling mode.
Thank you for joining me on this meditation.
And may you rise tomorrow with renewed hope.
Excellent health.
Gratitude.
And the ability to see clearly.
Thank you.
