Guidance on Forgiveness
Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing hurtful action, it is about releasing yourself from the weight of the past and choosing peace over resentment. It is an act of self-liberation, a shift in perspective that allows healing to take place.
Reframing the Experience
Rather than seeing forgiveness as “giving in” or “accepting defeat,” consider it a path to personal freedom:
- “I choose to release the past and embrace my inner peace.”
- “Forgiveness allows me to reclaim my energy and move forward with clarity.”
- “I transform past pain into wisdom and strength.”
Empowering Beliefs That Support Forgiveness
The way we frame our experiences influences our emotions and healing process. Consider these perspectives:
- “Everyone acts from their own level of understanding at the time.”
- “Holding onto resentment binds me to the past, but I have the power to let go.”
- “Forgiveness is for my own peace, not for anyone else.”

💎 Kunzite – A stone of the heart, Kunzite gently opens emotional blockages, allowing love and compassion to flow. It helps dissolve old wounds and nurtures self-forgiveness.
💎 Smokey Quartz – A grounding stone that absorbs and transmutes negative energy, Smokey Quartz helps release emotional heaviness and brings a sense of stability during the process of letting go.
A Simple Exercise for Forgiveness
Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Hold Kunzite in one hand and Smokey Quartz in the other. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
- Acknowledge – Bring to mind the situation or person you wish to forgive. Without judgement, allow the emotions to surface.
- Release – Visualise the energy of resentment as a dark cloud leaving your body and being absorbed by the Smokey Quartz, where it is gently neutralised.
- Fill the Space – Imagine a soft pink light, radiating from the Kunzite, filling your heart with warmth, compassion, and understanding.
- Affirm – Speak softly or internally:
- “I choose to let go and be free.”
- “Peace fills the space where pain once lived.”
- “I allow love to guide me forward.”
Breathe deeply and sit with this energy for a few moments before opening your eyes. You may wish to carry these crystals with you or place them under your pillow to continue the healing process.
Forgiveness is a journey, not a single moment.
Each time you choose peace over resentment, you reclaim your inner power. 🌿✨
