Self-Forgiveness Meditation

Last Updated on April 16, 2026 by Matthew Sockolov

This is a guided meditation on self forgiveness. Although not a traditional Buddhist heart practice, forgiveness is an important quality to cultivate. With forgiveness, we can free up space in our hearts for more responsiveness and less reactivity. We can live without self-resentment, and see more clearly.

For more thoughts and support with your forgiveness practice, you can read our posts at:
