Self-compassionate self-forgiveness meditation.

You're just gonna plant your feet on the ground and just imagine,

Sense and feel roots growing from the bottom of your spine or the bottom of your feet,

Piercing through the floor,

Through the concrete,

Right down into the rich,

Nourishing soil of Mother Earth.

As your roots are growing deeper and deeper,

Wider and wider,

You just start bringing back all parts of self to presence in the body.

Just feeling yourself becoming grounded,

Centered and fully present in this moment.

Just feeling the gravitational pull,

The magnetism of Mother Earth connected to your body.

And if you can,

You sense or feel her pulse,

Her heartbeat.

And you just calibrate or align your heartbeat with her heartbeat.

And then we just imagine,

Sense and feel a stream of divine light just flowing into the crown center,

Flowing through and around the body,

Just bringing with it a wave of relaxation.

That flows into the crown center,

Connecting you with your superior self,

With source light.

Gently flowing into the third eye,

Clearing away any illusions or confusion.

Bringing you clarity,

Clear insight,

Inspired action.

Flows into the jaw,

Dissolving any tension you may be holding in the jaw.

Flowing into the throat center,

Throat chakra,

Blessing and clearing the space and the air.

Reclaiming your advocacy,

Your strengths to communicate from your knowledge and your wisdom.

So light flows into the heart center,

Just opening up the heart and just bringing to awareness tender parts of the heart that need love,

Peace,

Nurturing.

This light flows into the solar plexus,

Aligning you with divine will.

Flows into the sacral chakra,

Just clearing and blessing the power center of the feminine and the creative joy.

It flows into the base chakra,

Dissolving any fear around money,

Stability,

Safety.

Flows down the legs through the knees,

Down the calves and out the feet.

And now we bring our awareness back to the heart.

And just imagine that we're traveling inside the body towards a beautiful sacred healing temple.

And this beautiful temple in the inner world is peaceful,

Deeply healing,

Sacred.

And as you enter this beautiful space,

You are greeted by the part of you that is whole,

Healed and complete,

Your Sophia self.

And she welcomes you and she welcomes you in gratitude and honor.

And she leads you to a place that has been prepared for you.

And now she just brings forth the part of you which you are still judging or criticizing.

A part of you that is filled with guilt.

And you just welcome this part of you with love and gratitude.

And you place your hand over her heart.

And you just see and scan her body and see where she's carrying this guilt,

How it impacts her choices,

Her actions,

Her behavior.

And in whichever way feels right to you,

You invite her to let go of this guilt that she's carrying.

Through a ceremony of forgiveness,

Could include water,

Fire,

Air,

Incense,

Magic.

And you can just silently say to her,

I forgive you.

And I set you free.

Just see all this guilt that she's carrying in her body dissolve or transform into light,

Into prosperous flow.

And notice the places where this guilt was blocking the flow in her body and in her life.

You could ask her what she needs to step into a new space with you in which she embodies the sacred feminine the sacred feminine,

Her authentic truth and an expression of her unique talents and gifts.

And then your severe self just offers her this beautiful rose oil.

And she places and anoints her with this rose oil on certain spots in her body,

On her body.

Then you just thank this part of you for her courageous spirit.

Knowing that at the time she was doing the best she could with the awareness,

Understanding and knowledge she had at that moment in time.

And you just embrace her and allow her to be held for a moment,

To feel supported,

Loved,

Cared for.

To be seen and acknowledged.

And you invite her to come and live in the temple of your heart.

You invite her to embody her sovereignty.

To remember the sacred essence of who she is.

Thank your severe self.

Thank the part of you that was willing to let go of all that she's carrying.

For a moment,

You just notice or observe the flow of energy through your body.

Feeling more expansive,

Connected,

Grounded.

In tune with your intuition and higher guidance.

Start bringing back whole new energy.

Start bringing back all of yourself back into this moment,

Into this time and place.

Feeling the roots connecting you to this moment.

Becoming aware of your heartbeat and your breath.

You take a deep,

Grounding breath in.

Exhaling out that breath of a sigh.

Becoming aware of your ankles,

Your feet,

Your legs,

Your hips.

Your chest,

Your shoulders,

Your head balancing on your neck.

Bring your hands together in front of the heart.

Just bow to your beautiful sacred heart and its capacity to be seen and acknowledged.

To love and to transform through that love.

And when you're ready,

Rub your hands together.

Place them over your eyes.

When you're ready,

You release your hands and see through the eyes of the heart.
