MIDL 22/36: Insight Meditation: Forgiveness

Stephen Procter guides you in the insight meditation skill of cultivating forgiveness to help your mind put down preoccupation with the past and abide in the present. As long as we do not forgive our self or others, we will be living a life conditioned by our relationship to the past. By putting down our pain through forgiveness, the pains of the past come to an end and awareness more easily dwells within the present experience creating the conditions for wisdom to arise.

Forgiving myself, had me crying. Beautiful, thank you!

Ooo, the "f" word! Wow, what a great practice and I absolutely loved that the first person I worked to forgive was myself! I normally forget that when I go through forgiveness practices. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thank you for this course!

Wonderful... 🙏🏻♥️

Though this meditation is so gentle, it brought up some very big emotions for me, which I hadn’t been expecting. I think that means that this is a really important one for me to practice with real loving kindness.

Beautiful guided practice starting with oneself and then moving to another person. Last 5 minutes is a short talk on important points in a forgiveness practice.
