Forgiveness
Healing Prayer and Meditation
Susan Helene
Kramer
Forgiveness
Healing Prayer
Forgiveness loosens the knot of hurt
It lightens my body-mind burden.
If feeling guilty for negative thoughts or deeds
I forgive myself, and let that go, too.
Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. Instead, it replaces negative feelings
brought up by remembering a hurt, with positive feelings of healing and
well-wishes.
Guided
Meditation
Lie on your back on a comfortable surface in a warm place; cover yourself with
a light blanket if desired. Let your arms rest at your sides, near, but not
touching your body; feet resting about a foot apart. Close your eyes.
Begin breathing evenly in and out: breathe in 2 counts; breathe out 2 counts;
continue. Do not hold your breath. After a minute or more of even breathing
begin thinking about a situation where you have been hurt. Stay with the
thoughts a few moments while you are lying there comfortable and safe.
Now mentally say something like: "I forgive you (the person who caused the
hurt) for what you did. I send you healing light that you will choose to act in
a positive way in the future. What you did to me was wrong; I'm not saying it
was okay. I am saying that I choose to think positive thoughts of healing and
love toward you now, rather than dwell on negative thoughts of blame and
anger."
Next, rest easy for a few moments to balance any fragments of
upset, which may have been brought up in your body-mind from thinking about an
old hurt.
After a few minutes resting and breathing evenly, either sleep or take a deep
breath in and out, stretch and get up; energized.
