Hi, and welcome to the meditation where we're going to be raising our vibration through the act of forgiveness. So before we start, what I would like you to do is to simply think about someone you need to forgive. Maybe someone who's harmed you in the past or maybe yourself. So just take a moment to think about that person. And then we'll begin. So go ahead and get yourself in a comfortable position.

Take a deep breath and we'll start to relax and take this one more deep breath as we begin to Relax very deeply. I've been doing meditation and healing work for a long time now. And one thing I've learned is that sometimes it can be very difficult to relax or to even learn how to relax more than you ever have before. And so I think as you continue to breathe and you continue to let go with your eyes closed, you may begin to become aware of certain sensation a thought memories and then I start to wonder if you have ever had the memory of just sitting for or near a lake or by a stream or even the ocean because there can be something deeply relaxing. very comforting about just sitting there and doing nothing. Breathing and relaxing and listening to the peace Sounds and the sounds in nature.

Maybe you can hear the waves on the shore like a breeze through the tree as you breathe as you inhale and exhale out and a continuous flow that seems to go on and on and on. Relaxed relaxing. inside and feeling the soothing sensation as your mind effortlessly drips with a quiet, almost invisibly silent and the endless echo in the background of your mind. I'm not sure that you've ever done it that way before. relaxed in just a certain way With that peaceful quietness in the background, your awareness relaxed in such a way that you listen to the endless quiet in the resonating sounds of the natural world perhaps it was a waterfall or vision of the sunset or just a silent place in the center of the woods happy memories peace, contentment. For me, it was just a dream.

A place of safe a place so comfortable that it was easy to allow your mind to relax, for your body to relax, everything to relax and there are many Things that I do not know. But one thing I do know is that everyone has a place they can go silent place inside where they can let go of all of their cares. All of their worries and all of their concerns and they can wonder about the wonder of Wonder itself as a deeply relax at the effort happiness As their arms and their legs become heavier and heavier as relaxation continues or maybe it was like happy, sad. You could scoop up and just let it flow through its own time in its own way as you continue to relax Nothing to do, except just to relax and to let go to be at peace. Listening to the waves of relaxation to the breeze, of effortless peace while you're sitting there forgetting to make any effort at all or even to try be aware when or where those feelings of relaxation began.

And as you continue to breathe, relax and to unwind. I'd like you to imagine yourself if you can, about some beautiful place, a healing place or a sanctuary place. A place where you can go to experience the wonder of forgiveness. As I count backwards from seven using the words down and deeper, I'd like you to drift down to this place. into a very deep and peaceful state of effortless relaxation. Number seven feel yourself going down and deeper.

Thing down, down deeper and deeper. drifting down, down deeper and deeper drifting down down deeper and deeper. Three, drifting down, down deeper and deeper and to drifting down deeper and deeper and drifting down, down, down deeper and deeper and deeper. If you are now in your sanctuary place I just asked that you imagine yourself being there as if you were actually there and with every detail that you notice I'd like it to take you into a deeper and deeper place of calm and effortless relaxation. So you become more and more perfect the relax. Why am I perfectly relaxed, more and more perfectly relaxed, very calm, very peaceful and very deeply relaxed carry calm very peaceful.

Very deeply relaxed, calm peaceful, relaxed, calm, peaceful. Relax. And as you continue to relax in your sanctuary place if you can, I'd like you to imagine there's a path opening up before you and you can begin to walk on along this path and as you continue to stroll along, you can see in the near distance that the path makes a turn and you cannot see around the corner and as you approach the corner you can hear someone coming in the opposite direction. As you continue to walk on, you finally can see the other person nearby coming in the opposite direction and this is the person that you need to Get. However, this person is only about three or four years old. They're innocent.

They're young, they're vulnerable. And it's long before they did whatever it is that you need to forgive them for. And as you see them there as young and innocent person, you realize certain things. You realize they were born in a certain way. They were born in an environment where they were conditioned by their surrounding From the family, they were born into the culture and the society. They were born into the schools, the religions, the media, all those things went into shape and influence their behavior that later led them to do whatever it was the cost time to their product of their conditioning and in some way, in some capacity and away what they did was not their fault.

Now, that does not mean that we're condoning Are absolving them at any cost it's allowing us to do is to release a negative connection by changing our perception. So what I would ask you to do now is to be aware of those feelings of pain or hurt that was brought on by interacting with this other person. And I want you to see them quite young. And I want you to allow those feelings of pain and hurt to just simply go back to that young person. Clear releasing emotions releasing the negative connection sending the pain and the hurt and whatever it is to sending it back to where it came from sending it back to small, vulnerable and innocent child and just allow those feelings to release for a few moments. Releasing the past, releasing the past, releasing the past as you continue to release and to let go of those feelings from the past I want you to see that young person to begin to dissolve, or to fade away, to simply walk away as they take that negative connection with them.

And in a way, you start to feel free. Now as that young person dissolves or fades away with all that negative connection, taking with them. I want you to call your own energy back that you have given to that person unintentionally. And just feel that your energy is coming back into your body. It's coming back into your energy field. You are coming back to you to just allow that process to happen for a few moments.

So in that process of forgiveness, releasing the past and creating a sense of freedom by reuniting with our own energy so forgiveness brings you into more alignment with you and in that process of aligning with yourself more fully by regaining your own energy and releasing the path that rises, your vibration forgiveness is freedom and it's a freedom to be who you are to your fullest capacity. So stick into that vibration and be with that for a few moments in silence aligning your energy with you or being free from the past. just continuing to breathe to realize The level of forgiveness that you have experienced today is permanent and goes with you from this day forward. In the keep in mind that you may need to revisit this meditation from time to time until you feel like the forgiveness is complete and you're no forgiveness is complete is when you think of the perpetrator and you no longer feel any negative emotional connection or any negative emotional charge.

You can be at peace to find freedom in that peace. Just continue to relax. Breathe and to realize that there's absolutely no hurry here. Attaching the process of forgiveness as deeply as you can to allow it to resonate with the very essence of who you are. Deeply relax and declare peace. And when you feel like you're ready there's no hurry at all.

When you feel like you're done, you feel like you've had enough You can slowly open your eyes and gently drift back in to the conscious world.
