A Forgiveness Meditation with Will Schne...

Mindful.org
About this episode

Forgiveness is a cornerstone practice of mindfulness, and it’s also one of the most difficult. 

Extending forgiveness to others and to ourselves requires a kind of awareness and vulnerability that can feel deeply uncomfortable, especially if we are carrying heavy stories of shame, anger, or resentment connected to that experience. 

In today’s guided practice, Will Schneider from Men Talking Mindfulness walks us through a forgiveness meditation filled with kindness, grace, and surrender that’s designed to help us walk a little lighter in the world. 

If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.
