Self-Forgiveness Meditation: Stop Punishing Yourself for the Past
About this session
End the cycle of self-punishment. This meditation helps you finally forgive yourself for past mistakes and release the guilt that's keeping you stuck.
The Forgiveness You've Been Waiting For Begins With You
You replay your mistakes. You punish yourself for things you said, did, or didn't do. You judge yourself harshly while being gentle with others. This internal punishment has gone on long enough. This meditation helps you finally grant yourself the forgiveness you've been denying—not to excuse your actions, but to stop the cycle of self-harm.
