Today, I will release all unhappy experiences from my past and free everyone connected with those experiences. The hurt, pain and suffering I and others have experienced are due to the unfortunate circumstances we have contributed to because of our own ignorance, disrespectfulness, carelessness and excessive defilements. Knowing that everyone acts under the influence of delusion I now realize that no one has intentionally caused any of the harm I have experienced. I have long been exacerbating my suffering by holding on to my own distorted perceptions as the truth.

Today, I will let go of all misunderstanding and confusion. From my past mistakes I shall learn to be mindful, so that I shall not repeat these mistakes and cause unnecessary suffering to continue. No one can undo the past, but I will take some good from these mistakes. The past has no power or control over me.

In the past I have suffered because I have projected my own negativities onto others. This has been the cause of all the damage to my relationships with others. I will not allow this to continue any further, as I have not reclaimed my sense of conscience. My forgiveness will not only remove the residues of unhappy experiences from my mind, but it will uproot negative feelings people may have about me in their minds, if I release the negative thoughts of ill-will, blame, anger, shame and revenge from my own mind, only good will return to me and those around me.

What has happened is already past and I have not fully recovered from these experiences. It is timely that rise above here problems and free myself and others from these memories, had I not gone through these experiences, I would not have matured and become as strong as I am today. As all things move forward, I must flow with the winds of change and not hold onto negativities. I will not stay as foolish as I have been in the past, but instead will awaken myself.

As I release all negativities, everyone concerned will be set free and forgiven. I shall let the stream of my life flow naturally and not stagnate. I forgive myself for each and every mistake I have made and I forgive everyone who has harmed me in any way, knowing that only good will come from applying understanding to every experience. Each mistake I have made is a stepping stone to greater understanding and to greater opportunities. I bless every experience of the past. May all be blessed!
