Welcome,
Dearest ones,
To this meditation of affirmations for forgiveness.
I invite you to find a comfortable position seated or lying down.
If you wish,
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
Exhale through the mouth.
Inhale,
Feel your belly and chest expanding.
Exhale,
Feel your body softening.
Close the eyes if you wish.
Sense the beating of your heart,
Your beautiful,
Precious heart.
Affirmations are an invitation to welcome new ways of thinking,
Of feeling,
And of being.
They may not seem true at first,
But the more we repeat an affirmation with a strong,
Positive emotion,
The more that affirmation becomes possible.
So I invite you to do your best to conjure the good feeling emotion that feels connected to each affirmation.
You may remember a time when you felt this uplifted feeling,
A specific experience,
Or you can just use your imagination to conjure this feeling,
Helping to create new pathways in the brain and new ways of being within your own self.
Forgiveness is freedom.
Forgiveness is freedom.
I release and forgive the past.
I release and forgive the past.
I choose forgiveness over suffering.
I choose forgiveness over suffering.
When I forgive,
I am free.
When I forgive,
I am free.
I give myself permission to let go of guilt,
Shame,
And embarrassment.
I give myself permission to let go of guilt,
Shame,
And embarrassment.
I am not my mistakes.
I am worthy of all the compassion and kindness life offers me.
I release the past and set myself free.
I choose to live a life of integrity and love.
I choose to live a life of integrity and love.
I am courageously allowing myself to heal.
I forgive others as I forgive myself with compassion and kindness.
I forgive others as I forgive myself with compassion and kindness.
Forgiving myself can allow others to heal as well.
I forgive myself and others so I may have inner peace.
I forgive myself and others so I may have inner peace.
I forgive myself and others so I may have inner peace.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
Exhale through the mouth.
Feel your heart and belly softening.
Inhale deeply into your heart center.
Exhale,
Let go of whatever you're carrying.
Inhale into your heart center.
Exhale gratitude for yourself.
Slowly move the body.
Stretch a little.
And when you're ready,
Open the eyes and practice seeing through the eyes of forgiveness.
Thank you for sharing your practice with me,
All my love.
