Take a moment to get comfortable.
You can sit or lie down,
Whatever feels most restful.
Close your eyes gently and begin to slow down.
Take a long,
Soft breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Take a long,
Soft breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Let your breath return to its natural rhythm now.
Let your shoulders drop.
Let your face soften.
Let your jaw unclench.
Feeling your body gently supported by the surface beneath you.
There's nothing to do and nowhere to be but here.
You are safe.
You are held.
Now bring your attention to the center of your chest,
Your heart space.
Imagine a soft glowing light beginning to form there.
It could be golden or white or any color that feels soothing to you.
This light is warm,
Comforting,
Gentle and with each breath allow it to grow.
Let it expand outward,
Filling your chest,
Your arms,
Your belly,
Your legs and your feet until your whole body is wrapped in this soft,
Healing glow.
This light is your inner wisdom.
It will guide you now.
Now imagine that a doorway begins to appear in front of you.
A gentle doorway into your inner world.
When you're ready,
Take a step through and let the space form naturally.
There's no right or wrong.
You might find yourself in a familiar place or a dreamlike landscape or simply surrounded by a feeling.
Let yourself arrive.
Trust whatever comes.
Somewhere in this space is a younger version of you,
A child part of you that's been waiting to be seen.
The part that felt overwhelmed,
Abandoned or afraid.
Let that child appear to you through image,
Emotion or simply a felt sense.
You don't need to force anything.
Just allow.
Now gently walk toward them.
Let them know who you are,
That you've come with love.
Sit down beside them.
Be still together.
And when the moment feels right,
Gently ask,
What are you feeling right now?
What do you need most in this moment?
Allow the answers to arise naturally.
No need to fix anything.
Only witness.
Let them know you are not alone anymore.
I see you.
I hear you.
I love you.
I'm here.
If it feels safe,
You might offer them a hug or hold their hand.
Feel that connection.
Let it speak more than words.
Now imagine this child gently stepping into your heart space.
Merging with you.
Coming home to you.
Their strength,
Their innocence,
Their truth.
All part of you now.
Breathe that in.
Breathe them in.
You are not broken.
You are whole.
You are healing.
Now slowly bring your awareness back to the room.
Feel your body again.
Your breath.
Your hands.
Your feet.
Take one more deep breath in.
And let it out with a soft sigh.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Place one hand on your heart and whisper to yourself,
I am here.
I am safe.
I am loved.
