Buddhist Prayer For Forgiveness - 5 Repetitions

Forgiveness is a gift that you deserve. So, give yourself this gift from time to time.

If you feel heavy on what you are carrying, you may take some time to reflect on forgiveness. Forgive what you can for as much or as little you can, without forcing yourself. The whole purpose is to guide you feel at peace with yourself and to open up your heart and release what you no longer need to carry.

This sound is designed for mantra meditation on forgiveness. The idea that at the core most of us humans are good, but there is a lot of hurt and confusion that we experience and carry within ourselves, has always resonated with me. It has actually deepened while learning more about psychology and human behaviors.
Thank you so much for being here & thank you for taking some time to be with yourself!

Note: Please do not misunderstand forgiveness with self-gaslighting. They are two completely different things.
