Yogi Tip #19, Forgiveness Meditation

Forgiveness Meditation

The power of forgiveness transcends time and space and allows us to move forward with ease and confidence. As we forgive ourselves, forgive others and receive forgiveness, our hearts open to the light and love within.

This Kundalini Yoga forgiveness meditation gives us the opportunity to focus on one or more people who we believe have done harm to us or we have harmed. Its always important to remember that everything is happening perfectly, in perfect timing for us and all the souls we are connected to for our collective spiritual development.

Before beginning any Kundalini Yoga Kriya (exercise set) or Meditation, please sit straight and tune in.

Part 1

POSTURE: Sit in easy pose (cross legged positio) with spine straight in a chair. Rest hands on the knees.

EYES: Closed, focused at the third eye point.

MANTRA: Repeat in silence: “I forgive everyone for everything they have ever done to harm me.”

TIME: Practice for 3 minutes

TO END: Inhale and hold breath for a few seconds. Exhale and relax.

By extending forgiveness to another, anger and resentment are released.
