Transcript

This is the inner child meditation Start by getting into a comfortable position and imagine going to a safe place Allow the positive and loving feelings to flow throughout your entire body Positive, Safe, Secure and relaxing feelings move through you Allowing for a deep relaxation to cascade over your entire being Beginning at the top of your head imagine a wave of relaxation moving and vibrating down your body Relaxing each and every muscle along the way Move this relaxing wave of energy all the way down to the tips of your toes Feel your muscles become loose and limp heavy and relaxed Cozy heavy gentle feelings embrace your muscles As though a blanket of warm relaxation is covering you from head to toe You Now take a nice slow deep breath into your lungs and then gently breathe out through your mouth Good now take another deep breath in through your nose and then let it flow out of your mouth You Wonderful now take one more deep breath and this time release all the air out of your mouth at once Excellent as your body continues to relax. I want you to imagine walking through a very peaceful and relaxing forest You Walking through this forest makes you feel very safe and protected very peaceful and at ease Notice the sounds you hear in the forest With each step you take you can hear the snapping of twigs beneath your feet What smells and fragrances are there Can you smell pine or is it just clean fresh air? What do you feel Can you feel a warm Sun peeking out from the tops of the very tall trees? Can you feel a gentle breeze pressing against your skin You What do you see Can you see all the bright green? Vegetation Or if it's fall the bright colors of the changing leaves The light green and yellow hues scattered with tinges of orange and brown As you move along this path notice that it extends way down into the forest Further than you can even see As you look down this path imagine a small figure walking towards you from the other end of the path The figure moves cautiously towards you and as it grows closer you can make out the figure of a little girl or boy As This child gets even closer you begin to sense a familiarity and suddenly you realize this child Is you? This child is you and you're a child He or she is your inner child I want you to notice this child's facial expressions Observe the posture and appearance Does he or she look frightened fearful shy Angry sad Lonely or perhaps happy and content I I Want you as an adult to sit down with this child and ask him or her how they're doing Ask how he or she's feeling Be patient take your time and wait for a reply Do this now Now ask her what she needs from you Does he or she need protection a friend? Someone to love and appreciate him or her Do this now You may want to take some time here to explain some things to this child that you have learned from being an adult Remember we understand and see things differently when we are adults than we did as children Explains here in our child how his or her parents did the best that they could with what they had Give this knowledge so that he or she may finally begin to heal the wounds of the past Go ahead and do this now You Now I want you to promise your inner child that you will do everything within your power To give him or her what they need You will provide protection and security love and attention He will be the reliable and trustworthy friend that he or she needs and desires No matter what anyone else does From now on you will be there Tell her this and mean it Excellent now give her a great big hug and tell him or her that you love them Hold the child close to your heart and feel the love between you As You do this look down upon the face of your inner child and notice the warm Loving glow of a smile pressed against his or her face As you squeeze them close to you Your child begins to fade away Becoming one with you again As this occurs feel a warm glow begin to fill your body Feel an inner peace as a wonderful healing energy begins to emerge within you This inner light fills your body mind and spirit With love peace and healing energy Know that this little girl or boy is only a thought away and they can hear what you say and think to yourself So be careful Because just as positive loving and supportive thoughts flow down to him or her So do the negative? Critical and hurtful ones Finally imagine yourself surrounded by a beautiful white light Feel your whole body immersed within this protective and loving energy Then when you are ready, Take a slow deep breath Slowly open your eyes and become fully alert and awake and refreshed feeling confident and at peace
