Forgiveness Meditation

Yogatrotter Academy Podcast - Yoga Class Themes and Intentions

Forgiveness is one of our most powerful tools for self-healing. Use this meditation any time you feel yourself irritated, angry, or victimized in a situation. When you hold onto anger or a grudge, those emotions only harm YOU, rather than the person with whom you are angry. In this way, forgiveness is not really about the other person, but more about ourselves and how we react to challenges. This meditation allows you to change the narrative about the situation in your mind, so that true contentment can begin. Borrowing from Baba Ram Dass's "Just Like Me" exercise, Buddhist blessings, and metta, this meditation allows you to forgive yourself, others, and the world.
