Resting awareness deep within the heart, gently allow this prayer to move through your consciousness .
For all of the ways that I have betrayed others,
Through thought, word, or deed,
Knowingly or unknowingly,
I ask forgiveness.
Please forgive me.
For all of the ways that I have betrayed myself,
Through thought, word, or deed,
Knowingly or unknowingly,
I ask forgiveness.
I forgive myself.
For all of the ways that I have been betrayed by others,
Through thought, word, or deed,
Knowingly or unknowingly,
To the extent that I am ready to let this pain go,
I offer my forgiveness.
I forgive you.
