Meet Me in the Field of Forgiveness (30 min)

The mindset of forgiveness is one of the happiest spontaneous side-effects of meditation generally. But sometimes there are experiences so difficult that they require a special focus. This meditation is going to help bring you to a place where you can experience forgiveness even with the toughest situations. Remember that forgiveness doesn't mean that you will allow yourself to be treated badly in the future or that you ever need to see someone that has wronged you again. This is an internal and private conversation that allows you to heal yourself and return to a place of integrity and peace. This is an exercise in opening your heart, in letting go, in finding relief, in leaving all bitterness and anger or shame and grief behind. If you are spiritually inclined, you might like to think of this as a method to break the cycle of karma or accept God's grace. There are two features of human consciousness that are superpowers most of us fail to take full enough advantage of: You have the power to move your awareness and you have the power to hold your awareness where you choose. Today we are going to employ these powers to help heal a situation in your past that haunts you today. It may be something you have done or it could also be something that has been done to you. It could be from an offence, a flaw, a mistake. It will be something that makes you feel angry or ashamed or trapped or misunderstood or sad. Often these forgiveness meditations need to be repeated sometimes more than once a day, for many days for the full effect to take hold. So consider that as an option for you.I should say here that am indebted to the Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi for inspiring much of my practice but this meditation in particular.(NOTE: This is a 30 min version of the Meet me in the Field of Forgiveness Guided Meditation)
