Forgiveness Meditation | Letting Go & Self-Forgiveness

Forgiveness can be one of the most freeing gifts we give ourselves.
In this gentle guided meditation, Gen Edwards invites you to begin releasing anger, resentment and bitterness towards others, before turning that same compassion towards yourself.
Through calming breathing, repeated intentions and visualisation, you’ll explore letting go of the past and opening more to allowing flow and abundance in.
Imagine laying down old emotional burdens and welcoming the warmth and light of forgiveness into your heart.
There’s no need to force forgiveness or rush the process. Simply come with a willingness to explore what you’re ready to release.
Return whenever you feel drawn to greater peace, compassion and emotional freedom.
