A Meditation about Forgiveness.

It is important to note that forgiveness is not about letting another person "off the hook." 

Forgiveness is about removing the toxicity of resentment from one's own heart & mind.

Let this meditation give you the tools you need to let go of whatever unwanted thoughts or feelings exist within you & the resilience & self-awareness to remove the poison of resentment.

The contemplative music in the background of this meditation is written, composed, performed, & produced by Sean J Stevens & is called “Love Conquers All”.

This meditation is inspired by Debra Rienstra and her work in Eco-Theology.

Based upon Genesis 1&2, Psalm 104, The Prophets, John 1, Romans 8, Colossians 1, Revelation 21.

As a caveat, I use the word "Nature" a few times throughout this meditation. It is important to note that we are not separate from the rest of creation, in the sense that we are part of said-creation. Eco-Theologists often use the phrase "more than human creation" to describe Nature to denote this. Because this phrase feels awkward & clunky (& perhaps even disruptive) in the meditation, I simply use the word we all know, "Nature"..

If you would like to know more about Eco-Theology, I recommend further exploring the work of Debra Rienstra.

The contemplative music in the background of this meditation is written, composed, performed, & produced by Sean J Stevens & is called “The Divine Mother”. This song was featured in the latest 21 Day Meditation Challenge, The Divine Feminine.

When Moses is on the top of Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:6) & asks to see God & know God’s name. God passes before him & says the name YHWH & gives Moses a list of attributes.

Rachuwm (or Compassionate) is at the top of the list. 

The root of the word Rachuwm is womb, as in a mother’s womb.

YHWH Rachuwm

God is compassionate.
