Take a moment to settle into a comfortable position,
Either sitting or reclining back.
Begin to deepen your breath and turn your focus inward.
In your mind's eye,
Envision being in a beautiful place in nature at the base of a pathway.
This place feels completely safe and secure.
And only you and your parts can be here.
Now take a moment to mead with your parts.
And let them know that you're going to walk by yourself for a short while.
See if they feel okay with that.
Ask if they have any fears or concerns.
And let them know that you'll return soon.
And that this will be a good experience for them and you.
If there are still parts that don't want you to go.
Just pause the recording and take some time to be with them.
Listen to their fears and concerns.
What are they afraid would happen if they weren't with you?
If they still don't want you to go.
Ask if they would be willing to walk beside you.
And if they still feel scared or resistant.
Take this opportunity to stay with them.
Ask them if they would be willing to listen in on the meditation so that they will know what to expect.
In the future when you try again.
If your parts have agreed to wait at the base for you.
Or if they've agreed to walk beside you.
Then continue on the path at whatever pace feels right.
As you make your way on the path.
Notice if you are on the path.
Or if you are watching yourself on the path from above,
Behind.
Or in front.
If you are watching yourself,
It means that there is a part present that is trying to do this exercise for you.
Let's thank them for wanting to help.
And ask them if they are willing to return to the base of the path.
Or if they could walk beside you so that you can experience the path.
If the part agrees,
Continue on.
As you continue on the path.
Notice if you are thinking about anything.
If so.
.
.
Kindly acknowledge the thinking part.
And ask them if they would be willing to return to the beast of the path.
Or if they would be willing to walk beside you.
If the thinking part is willing to give you space by waiting at the base or walking beside you.
You may begin to notice sensations like a warm,
Vibrating light or energy.
Or you might experience yourself as formless and flying,
Floating,
Or even soaring.
That's fine.
Go with these experiences.
If you are sensing more vibration or light.
Know that this is self-energy.
You can take a moment and ask that warmth or that light if there is anything it wants you to know.
Stay with us as long as you'd like.
You can pause the recording if you need more time.
Whenever it feels right,
You can turn and begin to return to the base.
And when you arrive.
Ask your parts what it was like for them to stay back.
Or to walk beside you.
How was it for them to give you some space?
Stay with them and listen to their experiences.
You may want to ask your parts if they would be willing to do this exercise again sometime.
Whenever this experience feels complete and your parts feel heard and understood,
Offer them gratitude.
Thank them for participating,
Even if they were only able to listen in or walk beside you.
Begin to bring your attention outward.
Noticing the space you are in.
Feeling the support of whatever you are sitting or reclining on.
Take a deep inhale.
And let it go.
Gently bringing your awareness back outside.
And returning to your day in whatever way feels best for you.
