13 tips on how to do forgiveness meditation

Many times our less positive past experiences can seem overwhelming and create an experience far from balanced in the present. This healing meditation is designed to allow you direct access to the energetic component of all your past experiences and not only to get the benefit of forgiveness, but also to give you the opportunity to let go of the past. I highly recommend working on one experience at a time. Please read the entire meditation several times before starting.

If at any time you feel very uncomfortable during meditation, you should not continue.

It is important that before starting, you find a quiet and comfortable place to sit where you will not be disturbed for at least 45 minutes. I find it useful to take a good hot shower (not a bath!) Before starting. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. It is best to wait at least 3-4 hours after eating before starting. I find that this meditation is done really better in the early evening. After finishing, you will need a good rest. You may want to skip dinner altogether and have someone else (if possible) have a soup ready for you when you are done. It is important that after you finish, it gives you at least 2-4 hours of rest. You will have transmuted a great deal of energy and your physical body will be tired. Also, while you have made substantial progress in healing, the rest will allow you not to review the problem for several hours. When you wake up, you will notice a substantial clearing of energy regarding the problem.

Moving towards gratitude
If you follow these steps you will have released most, if not all, of your problem. You will always be able to return to the experience but you will have the strength to see it in a new light. However, once the problem is resolved, I highly recommend you let it go. Look at it for the learning experience it is and move forward with gratitude.

Non-judgment
This process is not about judging or blaming others. This is a very powerful meditation and the energies at work here are very real. Judging or blaming others during this meditation will prolong the healing process and make it much more difficult to release these energies in the future.

Thirteen steps for forgiveness
1. Choose a problem - While sitting in your place of meditation, choose a problem. It's probably best to choose a simple one until you are familiar with the process. For most people the first problem usually resolves on its own.

2. Relax - If you have a standard practice to start meditation that puts you in a relaxed and open place, you can use it to start.

3. Focus on the breath - Now start focusing on the breath. Follow in and out without attempting to control your breathing. Do this for 8-10 reps.

4. Combine the breath with affirmations - Next we will make a series of affirmations together with the breath. It is important to focus on the energy associated with these statements while breathing. The first part of each statement is the same and you will repeat the words on the breath. The second part of each is different and you will repeat it breathlessly. All three are performed in order and the order is repeated every time. Repeat the affirmations in order 1, 2 and 3 and then start again from 1. Make the affirmations for about 15 minutes.

(breath) I am
(breathless) Whole and complete
(breath) I am
(breathless) How God made me
(breath) I am
(exhalation) Completely safe

5. Focus on the chosen question: now we advise you to focus on the experience you chose at the beginning. It is important to remember that you are in complete control during this experience. Now start repeating the experience in your mind. Focus very clearly and objectively on the conversations you have had and, in the best case, you can remember what each of you said.

6. Mental excuse exercise without strings: when you are done, repeat only the part of the conversation. If you see (and will) places where you have treated the other person unfairly, been rude, or simply made an incessant attack, you will want to sincerely offer an apology and ask for forgiveness. Prepare the content of your apology and imagine putting it in a beautifully wrapped package. Take this package and place it in front of the person (in your mind). Bow down three times and every time you say I'm sorry, so leave. (Once again in your mind) You don't worry about what happens to the package or what they do with it. Your goal should be to make sincere apologies, without problems.

7. Return focus to Breath / Affirmations - Take a few minutes to breathe and repeat the affirmations for 1-2 minutes. You just want to recompose for the next step and not lose momentum.

8. Listen: Now play their part of the conversation. This time be absolutely calm. Try to forget your original reaction. Sometimes it helps to see yourself as a third party not interested in taking notes. Listen carefully. Now repeat again and focus on the point that the other was trying to communicate. Think about how you should pass on the same point. When they are done, thank them for sharing as sincerely as you can. Now ask them if there is anything else they would like to say. Very often you will receive a great deal of information about your relationships at this point. So listen carefully!

9. Review with non-judgment - Next you have to imagine their entire conversation as a whole piece. Allow the conversation to take on any energetic form that seems appropriate. Remember, you are not attacked here but you are simply listening to what has been expressed without any judgment.

10. Be at peace - As you watch this energy package, start looking at your breathing and repeat the affirmations. When you are ready, you must allow this package to fully enter your heart center. Keep breathing and repeat the affirmations. Very soon you will experience a deep sense of peace. When you do, look into the person's eyes and say:

I have fully received your wonderful gift. Thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom with me. I am very grateful to you for your gift, but it is no longer something I need.
11. Be open to receive love and light - Now look deeply into the center of your heart, repeat the affirmations and allow the energy you have received to transform into pure love and light. Now repeat these words:

I transmuted your gift into pure love and I return it to you with joy in the fullness of love and joy.
12. Heart-to-heart connection - Now imagine that this new gift of love flows from your heart center to theirs. At the end of the transfer, say:

I am honored to have shared this learning opportunity with you. May all beings be blessed with the love we shared today.
13. Be thankful - thank them again and go back to the center of your heart. Focus on breathing and start the affirmations again. Do it for about 3 minutes or less. Slowly get out of your meditation. Get up and when ready, bow once and thank the universe for this healing opportunity.
