Welcome to this guided meditation.
Before we begin,
Let's take a moment to acknowledge your presence.
That you chose this.
Some part of you,
Perhaps a part that has been waiting for a long time.
Is finally ready to be seen.
Within each of us,
There is a younger version of ourselves who is still present as a living part of who we are today.
Carrying the feelings,
The conclusions and the beliefs.
That formed in the earliest years of our lives.
That younger self did not disappear when you grew up.
It is hair.
And it still shows up in the moments.
You feel subtly small.
Unexpectedly hurt.
Or desperately in need of something you cannot always name.
Today we are not going to analyze that younger version.
We're not going to fix or rush that part of ourselves.
We are simply going to find the younger version.
Sit with it.
And we will let that younger version of our life know.
But someone came back for them.
That you came back for them.
And offer that younger version,
Which is your inner child,
What they have always deserved.
Your presence.
Your patience.
Your love.
And your care.
There is nothing you need to do except be willing to meet and be present with your inner child.
So let's begin this beautiful healing journey by finding a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax.
And experience healing of your inner child.
Taking a moment to settle into a seated position.
Ensuring your body feels supported and at ease.
If you prefer to lie down,
You may do so,
Making sure that you remain calm and alert.
Closing your eyes at this point or gently lowering your gaze if that feels easy for you.
Taking a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Releasing any tension or stress that you may be holding in your body.
Letting go of any tightness or discomfort.
With each breath.
Allowing yourself to relax more deeply.
More peacefully.
As you continue to relax,
Bringing your attention to your heart space.
Visualize a warm,
Glowing light coming out from this area.
Spreading throughout your entire body.
You are surrounded by a warm and soothing light.
This light which is the energy of love.
Healing and protection is expanding with each breath.
Filling you with unconditional love and compassion.
Imagine every cell of your body being activated with this white light energy.
And with that,
Imagine becoming one with this beautiful white light.
Feel this energy embracing and supporting you.
Now repeat it in your mind.
I am never separate from the universe.
I am part of all that is.
I am never separate from the universe.
I am part of all that is.
Taking a moment to set your intention for this inner child healing.
Allowing yourself to be open and receptive to the emotions,
Memories.
And insights that may arise.
Trusting that this process will guide you towards healing and nurturing your inner child.
Now imagine that you are in a beautiful place that makes you feel happy.
And calm.
It could be a place that you have visited before.
Or a place that you have always wanted to go to.
It could be a place close to nature or a place that you have created in your own imagination.
Imagine yourself in this beautiful setting.
This is your sacred space.
This is the sacred space where you will meet,
Connect and heal your inner child.
See the colors,
Shapes and texture of this place.
Feel the temperature,
The breeze and the sensation of this place.
This is your space where you can connect with your inner child with ease.
As you look around.
Notice that there is a small child sitting nearby.
This child is you when you were younger.
It could be any age that comes to your mind or that you feel drawn to.
Take a moment to observe this child from a distance.
Notice how they look.
What they're wearing.
What they're doing.
Notice their facial expressions.
Body language.
Their energy.
Notice if they seem happy or sad.
Calm,
Or restless.
Curious or afraid.
I would invite you to approach your inner child with open arms expressing your love and warmth.
Observe any emotions that arise as you connect with this younger self.
As you get closer,
Smile at them and greet them gently.
Tell them who you are and why you are here.
Gently reassuring your inner child that you are here to listen.
Support.
Comfort.
And to provide the love that they may have longed for.
Take a moment to hold your inner child close.
Offering comfort and reassurance.
Let them know they are safe,
Valued and deserving of love.
Ask your inner child if they would like to talk to you or share anything with you.
If they say yes,
Then sit down next to them.
And listen attentively to what they have to say.
If they say no,
Then respect their choice and ask them if they would like to do something else with you.
Let the creativity of your inner child glow.
Whatever they choose or do or say.
Follow their lead and be supportive of them.
Validate their feelings.
And experiences.
Without judging them.
Or trying to change them.
Show them empathy and understanding without blaming them.
If your inner child is ready,
Then ask them if there are any specific memories or emotions that need acknowledgement and healing at this time.
Listen attentively.
As you interact with this child,
Notice how they respond to you and how you feel towards them.
Notice if there is any shift in their mood or behavior as they receive your presence.
And notice if there is any shift in your own mood or behavior as you give them your attention and care.
If it feels appropriate,
Ask them if they would like a hug.
Or any other form of physical affection from you.
If they agree,
Then embrace them gently and warmly.
Feel their heartbeat against yours,
And yours against theirs.
Feel the connection between the two of you as you share this moment of unconditional love.
Now imagine a golden thread of light.
Extending from your heart to your inner child's heart.
Imagine the thread transmitting healing energy.
Transforming any pain or negative beliefs into love and healing.
Feeling a deep sense of healing and wholeness as you nurture your inner child.
Embrace this younger self with love and compassion.
Knowing that you are integrating and balancing all aspects of yourself.
At this point,
Ask your inner child to imagine that they are holding a beautiful crystal in their hands.
This crystal is a gift from the universe that knows what they need and what they want.
Tell them to look at this crystal and notice its color.
And texture.
Now ask them to think of a positive affirmation that they would like to say to themselves or hear from someone else.
This affirmation could be something like,
I am worthy of love.
I am safe and protected.
I am healed and whole.
Or anything else that resonates with them.
Tell them to repeat this affirmation in their mind.
Or out loud as they hold the crystal close to their heart.
Tell them to feel the vibration of this affirmation in their body and mind as they say it.
Tell them to believe this affirmation as the truth about themselves.
Now ask them to imagine that the crystal is glowing with the same color as their affirmation.
Reminding them that this crystal is now infused with the energy of their affirmation.
And it will help them manifest it in their life.
And now tell your inner child to be grateful to the universe for this crystal and this affirmation.
Tell them to keep this crystal with them as a reminder of their affirmation and their connection with the All That Is.
Now ask them to open their eyes if they were closed and look at you.
Tell them that you're so happy for them and that you're here to support them in their healing journey.
Tell them that you love them and that you are proud of them.
Take a moment to express gratitude to your inner child for their resilience and strength.
Now it is time to say goodbye for now.
And as you prepare to leave the sacred space.
Carry the warmth.
Yiling.
And wisdom gained from this experience with you.
Whenever you need,
You can return to this sacred space to reconnect and nurture your inner child.
Give your inner child one last hug.
Or any other form of physical affection.
That feels right for both of you.
Thank them for spending this time with you and for sharing their feelings and experiences with you.
And slowly stand up.
Walk away from your inner child.
Waving at them as you go.
As you leave your sacred space,
Know that you have just done a powerful healing for yourself and your inner child.
Slowly bringing your awareness back to the present moment.
Gently awakening your body.
Taking a deep breath in.
Exhaling any remaining tension.
Whenever you're ready.
You can open your eyes.
Feeling refreshed.
Renewed and connected to your inner child.
Now take a few moments to reflect on this meditation and how it made you feel.
Notice any changes in your body,
Your mind or emotions as a result of this meditation.
Notice any insights or messages that came up for you.
And remember that this healing process is ongoing and it's important to continue practicing self-love and compassion.
Thank you for joining me.
May you continue to embrace and heal your inner child.
Allowing your true essence to shine brightly.
Have a wonderful day.
