I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
These were the words I uttered to myself when releasing the weighted parts of me.
These were the words that allowed me to create compassion and send it down via my breath to my heart.
These were the words that pierced my heart open and allowed new strands of light and hope,
Ease and freedom to shine through.
To shine through what had been feeling so weighted,
Jarred and stubborn for too long.
These words taught me,
Carried me and ushered me to understand what it means to be human,
To be conscious and to believe in something far greater than what is out of my control.
To learn to surrender myself,
My tender pain,
To something that wants to carry me to newer lands.
When I placed my trust in the act of forgiveness,
I began to learn where forgiveness can take me.
And now when I have to let go of people or situations I have grown tangled and weighted in,
It is forgiveness that I use to set me free.
I learnt that forgiveness is a self-centred act,
An act or ritual I can offer to myself to relieve me from what draws dark on my heart.
All the work I do is to heal what lies within me,
To free me,
To lift me and offer myself peace.
We do not deserve the things that happen to us that leave us feeling worn and weak.
Nor do we deserve to imprison ourselves for our own mistakes,
Words or wrongdoings that have caused us pain.
But we do deserve to release it to wherever it wishes to go.
We deserve to be free of the story,
The memory,
The pain.
Saying these words as a spiritual mantra,
Allowing the words to vibrate off of the tips of our tongue and into the waves of our cells,
Allows us not only to forgive,
But to become forgiveness itself.
To consciously transcend the story that brought us here.
To grow wiser and stronger from it.
To rise above and far beyond the limiting tale and to choose better for ourselves.
The words I am sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you,
I love you are a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.
A spiritual practice where we call to mind a relationship with another or with ourself where we would like to bring forward forgiveness and healing.
This mantra is known as Ho'oponopono and I refer to this mantra whenever I seek a cleansing for compassion and reconciliation for any conflict I feel within my mind and body.
Today I invite you to speak this mantra into your being with me,
Whispering it gently to yourself or allowing my voice to gently pierce you open in order to let your awareness,
Compassion and love seep out.
Now closing your eyes and coming into a comfortable position.
We can bring our focus to our breath.
Taking a deep breath in through the nose and releasing it through a sigh of the mouth.
Deep breath in through the nose filling the belly and a long and emptying sigh through the mouth.
Deep breath in and a sigh of release.
Deep breath in and release.
Bringing your breath now to its natural and gentle rhythm.
I would like you to visualize and set an intention for something or someone to heal within you.
Have someone in mind,
This can be yourself or a younger version of you or equally it can be a circumstance in your life.
I would like you to hold this in your visual field and in your feeling capacity.
Surrendering deep into this practice now,
Speaking out loud or following along mentally.
