Namaste. Today we'll do a lovely meditation of forgiveness, Forgiving ourselves or anybody else we feel is responsible for any emotional pain in our life. Sometimes we hold on to feelings of hurt. We get stuck in those dark places not forgiving others thinking that if I forgive someone I'm letting them lose. I'm letting them free. It means that what they did to us was right. But my dear one when we holding hot coals in our hands of anger of hurt and expecting the other person to feel the pain and the burn. It never happens like that. You actually are burning yourself with that anger with those bad feelings and emotions and repeating the stories over and over in your head. So it's time to release those hot coals from your hand to release any negative feelings about anybody else in your life. It's time to release yourself from the prison of those bad thoughts and feelings that we holding so close to our heart and thinking that somebody else will feel the pain. Okay, So let's begin.
