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.

Take a deep breath in and gently breathing out just relaxing your whole body.

Another beautiful energizing breath in and slowly breathing out just making sure that you're very comfortable rolling your shoulders back.

Adjusting in any way to make sure that you sit through or you lie through this meditation session today.

One last cleansing breath in and as you breathe out I want you to imagine a beautiful golden healing light coming from the top of your head and as it swirls around your headspace it picks up any tension areas and releases all the tension deeply relaxing you now.

Just imagine this beautiful golden light coming down to your face relaxing your forehead all the facial muscles relaxing your jaw completely.

Slowly coming down into your throat area relaxing all the muscles of the throat going down relaxing all the muscles inside your chest area releasing any emotional pain releasing any traumas and deeply relaxing you now.

Slowly coming down relaxing your upper and your lower abdominal area.

Let this beautiful soothing warm energy move through the whole of your abdominal region releasing any stress releasing any tension as it deeply relaxes all the muscles all the organs in this area and slowly moves down to your pelvis relaxing your pelvic area releasing any tension any stress in your back in your sacrum in your hips and as it massages and eases out all the stress away the whole of your pelvic area feels deeply relaxed.

Slowly letting this golden energy move down to your thighs easing all the thigh muscles teasing any tension any stress away from these muscles and deeply relaxing them.

Slowly going down into your knees swirling around the back of the knees picking up any pain any tension in this area and nourishing it with this healing light slowly going down into your legs soothing any tension spots and healing any pain in this area as it deeply relaxes your legs your ankles with the soles of your feet your toes completely and now just imagine this light coming out from the sole of your feet going all the way up to the top of your head making a big circle of light all around you and let this beautiful nourishing soothing pulsating vibrations of this healing light penetrate each and every cell of your body let it go deep inside and create a new vibration inside each and every tissue each and every organ muscle bone the whole of your body like a big warm blanket just providing you with all the warmth making the whole body relax deeply and beautiful.

Now I want you to focus at the center of your heart imagine a small flame flickering there this is the seed of your soul this is your home and I want you to make this flame a little bigger as you breathe in just imagine this flame getting bigger and bigger and bigger and as the flame gets bigger so does the energy of unconditional love in your life starts flowing more and more and more I want
