About this session
- Softens guilt and shame
- Connects you inward
- Relaxes the body
- Encourages self-compassion
This 39-minute guided meditation from The Monroe Institute begins with a short talk on why self-forgiveness matters, then settles you into deep relaxation. You sense golden or white light around you, the radiance of your higher self, and view past mistakes through its unconditional, compassionate eyes.
It suits anyone replaying a regret, or who keeps repeating a pattern that leaves them feeling ashamed. Because it is long and deeply restful, it fits late evenings, when the day is done and you have time to sit quietly with what you carry.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the session begin with a talk about self-forgiveness?
Before you relax, the guide explains that people who don't forgive themselves often repeat the behaviour that causes their guilt. They fall into a cycle of guilt, struggle, maybe self-punishment, then being pulled back into the same behaviour. Forgiving yourself is framed as part of fully taking responsibility for what you would rather change.
Why do I listen for the faintest, farthest sound at the start?
You are asked to listen as if trying to hear the softest sound you can imagine, something very far away. Then you take that same intent attention into your body and relax by allowing things to be as they are. There is nothing to accomplish or force.
Who or what is the higher self in this meditation?
It is described as a wiser, broader and deeper part of you that loves you unconditionally. You are told it goes by many names: true self, true nature, higher self or soul. It is always present, whether or not you are aware of it.
What might I see or feel when the light appears?
You may sense golden or white light surrounding your body. Some people see a bright light in the distance, or a being of light walking toward them to stand with them and merge. Others simply feel a radiance that is already here, and any of these is fine.
What do I do if I hurt someone else?
If an incident comes to mind where you hurt someone, you can silently ask that person for forgiveness. You are invited to be willing to receive in this inner world, whatever happens outside. It is described as your true self asking their true self, and the meditation says shifts can occur.
What does it mean that mistakes come from being disconnected?
The meditation sees what you wish you could forgive as a mistake in action or thought that arose when you were separated from your deeper wisdom. You had different understandings then. Seeing this lets understanding replace guilt and shame, and helps you sense how you would act in a similar situation.
