Meditation On Self-Forgiveness
Sit comfortably and relax. Recall the feelings associated with some mistake or mistakes
you have made in the past. Connect with any feelings of hatred and revenge; connect
with any feelings of guilt and how you felt you had let others and yourself down;
the shame and the humiliation you may have felt...
Now ask yourself:
What good is it doing me or others by holding onto these feelings...?
What benefits does it bring me? How does it help me, or the other people affected...?
(pause for 30 seconds).
Now, say the following to yourself inside your mind:
I decide that I have held onto these feelings long enough and it is time to let
them go... This is a matter of reason as they no longer serve me, and a matter of
my will at a deep level to release them... I feel all these negative feelings and
let them go... I release them... let them go...
Now, unconditionally, forgive yourself... you have made a mistake... you have learned
from that mistake... there is nothing to be gained from having feelings of guilt
or shame... let them go... forgive yourself... forgive everyone else who may have
contributed... it is time to let it go...
Now focus on your true self - a divine being of spiritual energy situated at the
center of the forehead... focus on your inner feelings of peace... Think of and
feel your inner qualities of honesty, tolerance, kindness and generosity. Focus
on them, as this is who you truly are... a peaceful, compassionate, forgiving being
of spiritual light... radiating these qualities to the world...

Message for the day 01-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Simplicity sharpens the power of perception.
Expression: When there is simplicity within us, the clouds or layers that
prevent our perception begin to fade away and we can see the situation clearly.
With simplicity we find that there is nothing to colour or change our perception
and naturally the decisions that follow become accurate too.
Experience: Before we take any important decision we need to stop for a while,
detach ourselves from the situation and see it with a cool mind. With this our thoughts
will become free from all kind of associated memories and unnecessary attitudes
and we will be able to make the right decision.
