Hello,
My name is Annabelle,
And today we're going to be talking all about finding compassion and love for our family.
I know this can be a really triggering topic,
So I just want to say congratulations for turning up yourself today.
It is an act of courage and love,
Not only for yourself,
But for your entire ancestors.
I want you to get settled,
Get comfortable,
Making sure that you're feeling really comfortable.
Putting some extra pillows or even a blanket over you.
When you're ready,
Close down your eyes.
And taking some deep belly breaths.
Being in no rush.
Now bringing that breath to the heart space.
Allowing yourself to find compassion and love for yourself firstly.
For yourself of all ages.
So often we judge ourselves for not knowing better.
We judge ourselves for having to learn.
And I want you to find forgiveness for yourself.
Because you were always doing the best you knew how to do.
Placing your hands on your heart if you feel comfortable.
And just taking a whole deep breath.
And on your exhale sighing out any doubts,
Any dislike that you have about yourself.
Now I want you to imagine either one person in your family or your whole family.
The people who raised you in front of you.
And I want you to just look at them with the exact same compassion.
And I want you to just look at them with the exact same compassion and love that you just showed yourself.
Understanding that they are people.
Understanding that they were learning.
And doing their best.
And taking a deep heart centered breath.
Allowing you to see them truly for the first time.
And if there's any resentment or tension that comes up allow it to be there.
Not trying to change it,
Not trying to release it.
But honour it.
Continue focusing on them and breathing deeply into the heart space.
And I want you to invite courage into your life to see this person the exact way that they need to be.
That they had to make mistakes.
And those mistakes may have hurt you.
They may have acted out of ego,
They may have acted out of pain themselves.
They may have passed that all down to you.
And I want you to just sit with that.
And look at their soul's essence.
And know that no matter what,
They are here to help you.
And that by doing this work you are choosing to release the stuckness.
The judgement.
And the pain that can come up.
So I want you to now visualize yourself joining.
Either your family member or your whole family.
And holding hands all together.
And when you hold hands you feel this unconditional love and compassion for one another.
Flooding through one hand,
Filling your heart space.
And going out of your right hand to the next person.
So that they too can feel this unconditional love and compassion.
It's getting sent person to person.
And it comes back to you feeling even more electric,
Even safer.
And you send it out knowing that it will come back as well.
That every person here is worthy.
They are forgiven.
And they are compassionate.
Breathing all of this energy into the heart space.
Seeing each other with so much love.
When you're ready,
Disjoin hands from the family.
And come back to yourself.
Placing your hands on your heart.
Knowing this feeling of love and forgiveness is always there,
Always available to you.
I invite you to take one final deep breath.
Exhale fully.
And when you're ready start to move your fingers and toes.
Slowly bringing that love and compassion into this reality.
And that when you open your eyes in a few moments,
You will see the world with this level of love and compassion for each other.
No matter if it's a family member or a stranger.
Because you have it firstly for yourself.
Three,
Two,
One.
Opening your eyes.
Coming back to this reality.
Taking a moment to find gratitude for yourself.
And when you're ready,
Go along with your day.
You are so loved and you are so cared for.
I am so grateful for you.
