Affirmation for Forgiving Others

You can forgive by saying a simple affirmation for the person(s) you’re angry with. Bring the person into your minds eye, imagining his or her higher happy self and tell them that you release them, let them go, whatever happened between you is finished forever, and you wish them well. Imagine them accepting your offer of forgiveness.

Try this Affirmation to Forgive Others: “I forgive you completely and freely, I release you and let you go. So far as I'm concerned, the incident that happened between us is finished forever. I wish the best for you. I wish for you your highest good. I hold you in the light. I am free and you are free, and all again is well between us. Peace be with you."
