Meditation on Forgiveness

Not sure where it comes for but it is so pretty and I love it. A friend shared it with me. If you find the source let me know so I can give credit thanks.

Affirm silently to yourself:
“May I be filled with loving kindness.”
In this peaceful, quiet space silently affirm to yourself:
If I have hurt or harmed anyone, knowingly or unknowingly, I now ask their forgiveness.
May we be filled with loving kindness
As people come to mind continue to silently affirm: “May we be filled with loving kindness
In this peaceful, quiet space silently affirm to yourself:
If anyone has hurt or harmed me, knowingly or unknowingly, I now offer my forgiveness
Allow the image of whoever to come to mind and silently affirm: May we be filled with loving kindness
Allow this silent mantra to bring you back to that place of peaceful relaxation.
Bring your attention back to your breathe and just breathe
In this peaceful, quiet space silently affirm to yourself
For all the ways I have hurt and harmed myself, I now ask and accept forgiveness
If any feelings of discomfort surface, affirm silently to yourself:
May I be filled with loving kindness


Bring your attention back to your breathe and just breathe (15 seconds or so)
