Allow this poetic meditation to remind you of how worthy you are of forgiving yourself. Of letting go of the idea you could have done things differently. Through self-forgiveness and self-compassion, we can acknowledge and accept our shortcomings and move forward with strength, empowerment, and self-love.

Transcript

You Place your attention towards the softness of your heart center Feel the gentle beat within your chest as it courses life within you Fall deeper and deeper into this peaceful solace As you listen to the following words Forgive yourself for the times you made them more important than you Make peace with the heaviness and regret that constricts you From expanding inter-trust once more And allow yourself to remember that your humanness is meant to embrace any challenge with love And not tears of room Forgive yourself for the times you didn't believe you were worthy Of silencing the voice of your inner critic that dimmed the deservingness you were meant for And let this gentle lean of kindness towards yourself ignite a passion to practice compassion with yourself once more Ignite a passion to practice compassion with yourself once more You're worthy of peace Of no longer feeling like you could have done better Been better Chosen wiser Or let go quicker Understand that all that you have endured and all that you will endure was and is never meant to dim the light of your joy You are magnificently complex A soul with stories that expand the horizons of your current lifetime Carrying deep wisdom within you That you must tap into to remember that forgiveness is what connects you back to the source of peace and calm that you seek Lean into this relief to unbind the heavy toll that weighs down your heart and mind Breathe freshness and hope back into the constricted places Within you that have carried your pain and tears for too long That have carried your pain and tears for too long Give yourself permission to invite freedom into these places Trust that in letting go of the pain You are making room for more joy For more faith Allowing energy back into the purest parts of you That sees the good in opening your heart once more Forgive yourself so that you no longer walk in fear Where you are free of the shadows heaviness And welcome the gift of love and all that it has to offer you With open arms Once more
