Welcome.
It's good to be with you in this quiet moment as we step away from the noise of life and affirm a truth that can bring strength and renewal to your body,
Mind,
And spirit.
And here it is.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
Say it quietly in your heart or softly.
Say it out loud after me.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
Current research shows what ancient traditions have taught us for centuries.
That unforgiveness creates an enormous amount of unnecessary damage to us.
Raising cortisol,
Adrenaline,
Even blood sugar levels.
Keeping us awake at night.
Weakening our immune system by creating inflammation throughout our body.
But listen.
Forgiveness,
Whether toward others or ourself,
Awakens our body's God-given design to restore and renew itself.
So again,
Say it after me with intention.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
Allow the undeniable truth of these words to take root inside you.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
When you hear the word forgiveness,
Is there someone or something that comes to your mind?
Perhaps a hurtful relationship that you still carry within your heart.
Or a past version of yourself who could use some grace.
Forgiveness doesn't mean to forget,
And it doesn't excuse what happened,
But it does free you from the weight of carrying it around any longer.
So let's affirm it again,
Letting it drop down deep into your spirit.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
Let it rise up through every part of you.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
Forgiveness sets you free from the past.
Forgiveness allows you to heal.
Forgiveness opens the door to restoration.
So one last time,
With pure intention,
Repeat after me.
Forgiveness heals my body,
Renews my mind,
And adds years to my life.
It's my prayer that this affirmation can unlock healing and renewal for you,
As you simply allow forgiveness to do its work.
This particular affirmation was drawn from Longevity Reverb,
Entitled Reconcile.
And if you'd like to explore this theme more deeply,
You can listen to my 8-minute core reflection,
Or you can take it deeper with a 20-minute guided meditation.
Both of these are designed to work together to build a strong foundation for health,
Joy,
And a long,
Long life.
