I ask for your forgiveness

Let yourself remember and visualize the ways you have hurt others.
See the pain you have caused out of your own fear and confusion.
Feel your own sorrow and regret. Sense that finally you can release this burden and ask for forgiveness.

Take as much time as you need to picture each memory that still burdens your heart. And then as each person comes to mind, gently say:

“I ask for your forgiveness, I ask for your forgiveness.”


Jack Kornfield
