A Kind of Magick. Manifesting From Your Heart by Nils Klippstein - HTML preview

Forgiving Ourselves

We often need our own forgiveness more than anyone else. In order to move forward, we need to release not only the hurts we have received, but also the roles we have played, including that of the victim, as well as the hurts we have caused others. This is a highly liberating act. When we forgive ourselves, we break the cycle of karma and reclaim our full creative power.

You can use the same heart-centred practice, gently shifting the focus towards yourself. After becoming centred with heart breathing, picture a past version of yourself – someone who made a mistake, acted from a place of pain or felt trapped in a victim role. See your former self clearly, with compassion and without criticism.

Now imagine your present, wiser self entering this memory. You are not there to judge the past, but to bring understanding and LOVE to this moment. Open your arms and embrace your younger self with deep compassion. Give support to your younger self, who did their best with the knowledge they had available. Feel the pain, shame or regret begin to soften and dissolve in the warmth of your acceptance.

You could whisper these words to your heart:

Feel the two parts of yourself – past and present – merging back into one integrated whole. Breathe deeply and allow the peace of this reconciliation to fill every cell of your body. This is the final step in the ritual: embracing all aspects of yourself and welcoming them home.
