Healing Meditation
Moon
Exercise For Forgiveness and Letting Go
by William York
Many times our less positive past experiences can seem to be
overwhelming and create a less than balanced experience in the present.
This healing meditation is designed to allow you direct access to the
energetic component of all of your past experiences and allow you to
not only gain the benefit of forgiveness, but give you the opportunity
to let go of the past. I highly recommend that you work on only one
experience at a time. If you are working on numerous experiences with a
particular individual I suggest you work on only one experience at a
time. Please read this entire meditation through several times before
beginning. If at any point you feel very uncomfortable during the
meditation you should not continue.
It is important that before starting that you find a quiet, comfortable
place to sit/lay where you will not be disturbed for at least 45
minutes. I find it helpful to take a good hot shower (not a bath!)
before starting. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. It is best
to wait at least three to four hours after eating before beginning. I
find that this meditation is really best done in the early evening.
After finishing you will need a good rest. You may wish to skip dinner
altogether and to have someone else (if possible) have some soup ready
for you when you are done. It is important that after finishing that
you allow yourself at least 2 to 4 hours of rest. You will have
transmuted a great deal of energy and your physical body will be tired.
Also, while you will have made substantial progress in healing, the
rest will allow you to not revisit the issue for several hours. When
you awake you will notice a substantial clearing of energy in regards
to your issue.
You will always be able to go back to the experience but you will have
the strength to see it in a new light. However, once the issue is
resolved I highly recommend that you just let it go. See it for the
learning experience that it is and move on in gratitude.
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 only prolong your
healing and make it that much more difficult to release these energies
in the future.
1. While sitting in your meditation place pick an issue. It is probably
best to pick a simple one until you are familiar with the process. For
most people the first time the issue usually picks itself.
2. If you have a standard practice to begin your meditation that puts
you in a relaxed an open place you can use this to begin.
3. Now begin to focus on your breathing. Follow the in and out breath
without attempting to control the breath. Do this for 8 to 10
repetitions.
4. Next we will do a series of affirmations in conjunction with the
breath work. It is important to focus on the energy connected with
these affirmations as you are breathing. The first part of each
affirmation is the same and you will repeat the words on the in breath.
The second part of each one is different and you will repeat it on the
out breath. All three are done in order and the order is repeated each
time. You repeat the affirmations in order 1, 2, and 3 and then start
at 1 again. Do the affirmations for about 15 minutes.
(in breath) I Am
(out breath) Whole and Complete
(in breath) I Am
(out breath) As God created Me
(in breath) I Am
(out breath) Completely Safe
5. Now you will want to focus on the experience that you chose at the
beginning. It is important to remember that this time during this
experience you are in complete control. Now begin to replay the
experience in your mind. Focus in a very clear and objective way on the
conversation(s) you had and as best you can remember what each of you
said.
6. When you finish replay only your portion of the conversation. If you
see (and you will) places where you treated the other person unfairly,
were rude, or just went on a relentless attack you will want to
sincerely offer an apology and ask for forgiveness. Prepare the content
of your apology and imagine placing it inside a beautifully wrapped
package. Take this package and place it front of the person (in your
mind). Bow three times and each time say I am sorry. Then leave. (Again
in your mind) You are not concerned with what happens to the package or
what they do with. Your focus should be on making a sincere, no strings
attached apology.
7. Take a few minutes to breathe and repeat the affirmations for 1 to 2
minutes. You just want to recompose for the next step and not lose
momentum.
8. Now replay their portion of the conversation. This time be
absolutely quiet. Try to forget your original reaction. It sometimes
helps to see yourself as an uninterested third party taking notes.
Listen very carefully. Now replay it again and focus on the point the
other was trying to convey. Think about how you would convey the same
point. When they are finished thank them for sharing in the most
sincere way you can. Now ask them if there is anything else they would
like to say. Very often you will receive a great deal of insight into
your relationship(s) at this point. So, Listen carefully!
9. Next you need to imagine their entire conversation as a whole piece.
Allow the conversation to take whatever energetic form that seems
appropriate. Remember you are not being attacked here but merely
listening to what was expressed without any judgment.
10. While looking at this energetic package begin to watch your
breathing and repeat the affirmations. When you are ready you need to
allow this package to fully enter your heart center. Continue to breath
and repeat the affirmations. Very soon you will experience a deep sense
of peace. When you do look into the eyes of the person and say:
11. I have fully received your wondrous gift. Thank you for taking the
time to share your wisdom with me.
12. I am most grateful for your gift, but it is no longer something I
need.
13. Now look deeply into your heart center, repeat the affirmations,
and allow the energy you received to turn into pure love and light. Now
repeat these words:
14. I have transmuted your gift into pure love and I joyfully return it
to you in the fullness of love and joy
15. Now imagine that this new gift of love is flowing from your heart
center to theirs. When the transfer is complete say:
16. I am honored to have shared this learning opportunity with you. May
all beings be blessed by the love we have shared today.
17. Thank them again and return to your heart center. Focus on your
breathing and begin the affirmations again. Do this for about 3 minutes
or less. Slowly bring yourself out of your meditation. Stand up, and
when you are ready bow one time and thank the universe for this healing
opportunity.
