Forgiveness

Often, the most complex person to forgive is ourselves, but it is our most significant lesson to learn. We must show self-compassion first to offer it to others because it all starts inside ourselves. This means forgiving yourself for making mistakes you had or did not have control over. Beating ourselves up will never get us anywhere but lower than we already are. We must open up a space for ourselves to heal and grow from where we are right now. Never hold on to the old self because that is where the suffering lies in its wary head.

Start with a simple intention of forgiveness in your desired practice (pranayama (breathing), yoga (asana), and/ or meditation). Reflect on how you feel before and after the practice(s). Did you lose or gain forgiveness for yourself?

All we can do is try to show up every day and realize our truest nature and universal energy. By forgiving yourself, you forgive everyone. Blessings to you all.
