Okay, welcome to the sample meditation of forgiving someone else. And before you take somebody through a meditation like this, just keep in the back of your mind that forgiving someone, like many healing modalities and techniques, there's a timing component to it. So people usually won't be able to forgive someone until they're ready. So just keep that in that in the back of your mind as you take someone through this. So go ahead and relax. Close your eyes and breathe.
And just imagine that I've taken you through a very deeply relaxed process. We're becoming very calm, very peaceful. You're very deeply relaxed. And just Take another deep breath relax very deeply. And very happy. If you can, I'd like you to imagine there's a path opening up before you and you can begin to walk along this path.
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 sunlight coming in the opposite direction. And 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 forget. 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. And as you see them there, as this 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 surroundings. 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 that Cost harm to you. They're a product of their conditioning and in some way in some capacity Anyway, what they did was not their fault. Now, that does not mean that we're condoning or absolving them at any cost posits 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, 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 the emotions, releasing the negative connection, sending the pain and the hurt and whatever it is sending it back to where it came from sending it back to small, vulnerable and innocent child.
Just allow those feelings to release first few moments releasing the past releasing the past
