Forgiveness Meditation

The meditation is about forgiveness. It's important to relax and let go of past hurts. The analogy of a child spilling milk is used to show how forgiveness can create trust and a peaceful world. Relaxation techniques are suggested to open up to forgiveness. Visualize being in a beautiful garden and encountering the person you need to forgive. Express forgiveness to them and feel a weight lifted off. The meeting in the garden is significant and brings a sense of lightness. Practice forgiveness towards yourself and others. Take care and share love. Hello friends. Again, I hope that you are doing well today. This is Airtime and I'm Pat. Pretty exciting to be with you all once again. Today's meditation is on forgiveness. Okay, let's get prepared for our forgiveness meditation. Give yourself three deep breaths. Breathe in calm and breathe out love for creation. Breathe in calm, breathe out love for creation. Breathe in calm, breathe out love for creation. It would be delightful to allow ourselves the relaxation that's needed in order for us to change things in our lives. Sometimes it's hard even to imagine forgiving those who have wronged us. It may seem daunting to forgive people and instances of our past that hurt us. But it's actually very easy. But it's actually very easy. Imagine a young child holding a glass of milk. Their small hands couldn't quite grasp the cup fully and the milk spills on the floor breaking the glass. This upsets you because milk is expensive and the cup is a family heirloom. Say that this upsets you very much and you show your anger and you hold a small grudge against this child for breaking the glass. Now, when you give the child a glass of milk, you do not trust them to hold it. An anxiety will become present in the child because they do not feel trusted. An anxiety will build up in you because you fear more things will be broken or spilled. Then the child actually will become more likely to drop things because this is the image you're manifesting of them. You will also harbor anxiety because you were unable to let go of this incident. And it will be a recurring thought each time you need to use a cup. Now imagine again, the same child holding a glass of milk. Their small hands quiver and they drop the cup, breaking it and spilling milk everywhere. But this time instead you are not upset in the slightest and forgive them. The child runs to grab a broom and a towel to help clean up the mess. They are helping you fix the mishap. They sense your kindness and they learn how to take action when something goes wrong. When they feel guilty for the circumstance, their ability to help is fulfilled. The child is then likely to understand how to address incoming issues because everyone was calm, relaxed and in a state of forgiveness. They feel trusted. They can trust you to help when mistakes happen. That's what we need to accomplish in order to create a more peaceful world for everyone. The ability to pre-forgive each other, to allow for a state of openness so that we can address issues that arise with a calm and relaxed outlook. Thus aiding in thorough repair and the ability to move forward and trust others. Now let's do some relaxation techniques that will open us to the state of forgiveness. Notice how your body feels right now. Notice any places that feel pleasant. Could be as small as the tip of your nose or a much larger area. Just feel these sensations of goodness and allow for them to expand. Perhaps these areas of nice sensations can communicate with those places in your body that feel stuck. Just observe how your body reacts when you allow pleasant feelings to communicate with stuck ones. Do the nice sensations hold a grudge against the areas of not so nice sensations? No. They simply hold space and communicate with openness how to let go. Allow for more pleasant feelings to enter your body now through the power of your breath. Breathe in easily knowing that each inhale will fill your system with oxygen and send goodness throughout your body. And again, inhale goodness and exhale into an even more relaxed state. Inhale supportive sensations and exhale into relaxation. Inhale deeply the force of good and exhale into relaxation. Continue this method for five more good breaths. You are a natural at communicating with areas of tension, thus changing the very structure and frequency of the tension and converting them into a relaxed state. You're doing great so far. Keep your attention on your breath. Let's continue with our newfound relaxed state to a place of forgiveness. This is a very important opportunity. To walk in forgiveness is a gift to creation. Visualize you are in a beautiful garden on a mild day with fluffy clouds rolling by in the sky and the sun periodically warming your skin and nourishing the plants in this garden. As you admire the beauty here, the way the leaves and the vegetation are caressed by the wind. There are many colors of flowers throughout the garden and their fragrance is sweet and welcoming. So go down this way. You feel very pleasant and relaxed. You look down and see a small footpath through some flowering shrubs. It's inviting you along a mysterious path. As you curve around the beauty of this garden, you inhale the fresh oxygen that these plants produce. As you round a corner, small bench of wood comes into view and you see the person you must need to forgive sitting there. They've been waiting for you because this is a very important encounter. You sit down beside them because this is a safe place. And there are some things that need to be said to this person with bravery and courage. Look them directly into their eyes and say, you hurt me. And I have suffered too long because of this burden I carry in the form of a grudge towards you. I forgive you. I forgive you not to help you, but to better myself. I forgive you and you will not enter my thoughts any longer. I forgive you because forgiveness leads to openness in all aspects of my life. You notice the darkness that was once in their eyes begins to lighten and for a while, they do not say a word. And the silence is broken. They simply say to you, I will leave you alone now. And you will not be tormented by the thought of me anymore. Never once did they turn and look back your way. And that's good. That's very good. They get up from the beautiful wooden bench and walk into the depths of the wooded forest. You watch as the figure grows smaller into the distance until you can no longer see them. This was a very important meeting today in this beautiful garden. And as you breathe in the new fresh air, you feel twice as light as you did before. That's because a huge weight has been lifted off now. That person you needed to forgive is no longer sitting within your secret garden. They have moved on. So have you. You can bring yourself back to where you're listening from. Rise from your meditation at your own pace. You'll notice that you may be eager and ready to take the steps needed towards forgiveness toward yourself and creation. So continue the practice. Friends, take good care of yourselves. Practice love and happiness. And as always, get out there and share love. This has been a Shadowbride24 production. Special thanks to S Farm Studios. Shadowbride24
