About this session
- Eases resentment
- Grounds your energy
- Builds inner steadiness
- Trusts your intuition
Dina Proctor guides you through a short breathing practice built around one shift in thinking: your steadiness doesn't depend on anyone else. You picture yourself plugged into an inner power source, your highest self, while the people around you are free to act however they like.
It suits the moments before a tricky conversation, a crowded day or time with someone who wears you down. Try it as a quiet reset at dawn, or at night when you want to put down what others said and did.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why is it called pre-forgiveness?
The title points to an approach that comes before forgiving anyone. Instead of working through what someone did, you first recognise that nobody has to change for you to be okay. That can ease the pull to hold on to a grievance, and it is the only idea the session asks you to consider.
What does being 'plugged in' mean here?
It is the image of staying connected to your inner power source, which the track also calls your highest self and your seat of awareness. You are asked to stay plugged in, grounded and centred whatever others are doing. Your breath is the anchor that brings you back to that connection.
What is the idea about giving people space?
The meditation says everyone you meet has all the space in the world to be, do or say whatever they like while with you. You don't need to manage, correct or fix them. Their freedom to act as they wish stops being a threat to your calm.
What if I don't know what to say in a hard moment?
The ending speaks to this directly: you never need to figure out what to say or do. Your only job is to become present, get in touch with your intuition and let your highest self lead. The track suggests that inspiration and words can arrive when you need them.
Why does it start with the breath?
You first take a deep breath, then let it flow naturally, soothing and nourishing the cells of your body. The breath returns twice more, keeping you grounded, comfortable and centred. It gives your body something steady to feel while the ideas settle in.
Why is it recommended for early morning and late night?
In the morning it can set your footing before you meet people and situations you can't control. At night it gives you a way to relax into the same knowing and let go of the day's interactions. Both are quiet times when a three-minute practice fits easily.
