Forgive Yourself & Others

Welcome.

Forgive yourself and others a guided meditation for area two of love thyself first and always.

Choose to find a comfortable seat or maybe lie back in bed.

Take the time you need to settle in,

To find stillness.

Bring your attention to the breath.

Take three deep belly breaths in through the nose and slow exhales out through the nose.

Take yourself back to the situation or experience that ails you.

Paint the picture or environment you were in.

Set the stage.

Where were you?

How old were you?

Who was with you or were you by yourself?

What were you wearing?

What was the chain of events?

How did it all unfold?

Where you trace your steps,

Your words,

Your thoughts,

Your feelings.

How did you feel during the event or situation?

How did you feel after the event or situation?

Think back to what information you had available at the time of the event.

How has this event or situation impacted your life?

What is it that you need right now in order to release this burden,

This weight,

To let go?

What is it that you need right now to forgive yourself or others involved?

What do you need to set down?

What do you need to let go of?

What or who do you need to walk away from?

Imagine whatever it is that you are carrying.

You're able to scoop it up almost like broken pieces of glass or debris.

And you're placing it beyond the edges of your mat,

Cushion,

Seat,

Or bed.

Set it aside beyond your reach,

Beyond your vision outside of your peripheral vision or focus.

Placing it beyond your being.

Place your hands on the tops of your thighs or over your heart space.

Notice how you feel now.

Breathe deeply,

Breathe slowly as you bring yourself back into the present moment.

Know that you are safe,

You are well,

And it's going to be okay.

Take three cleansing breaths,

Allowing the inhale to fill you up,

Allowing the exhale to release,

To forgive,

To let go,

To love yourself wholeheartedly.
