When we were children,
There were times that we felt the most safe and the most loved with our families,
And at other times,
We felt the most unsafe and the most unloved with those same humans.
At some level within our bodies as well as our unconscious minds,
We remember these feelings of unsafety,
Physical or emotional,
And this impacts our interactions with them as well as all humans around us.
At this time,
In this moment,
We can choose to release the past and forgive those that made us feel so unsafe.
We may never,
Ever understand why they shamed us,
Refused to listen,
Or disrespected our boundaries and so on,
But as we are evolving and healing now,
Truly accepting ourselves and our needs,
This is the time to know in your soul that those beings were doing a version of the best that they were taught by those around them.
Sometimes this is really hard to accept and may make you angry,
But many people are distracted by life and forgot their true power to stop,
Change,
And evolve.
Let's cut those ties and forgive them for not having the ocean of emotional understanding that we needed.
It is time to give yourself the gift of safety,
Physical,
Spiritual,
And emotional,
Right now.
Creating,
Understanding,
And respecting your own boundaries and listening to your deepest needs is a way to truly love and honor yourself.
Finding a way to meet those needs on your own is the best possible thing you can learn how to do.
You are your own emotional ocean,
Vast and able to hold yourself as the waves of life rise and fall.
As a bonus,
To integrate these affirmations deeper into your nervous system,
Tap on just below your collarbone to stimulate your vagus nerve or on the top of your head.
We can now begin to re-parent ourselves,
To nourish ourselves in ways that were blind spots for us or our parents and their parents before them.
Close your eyes and inhale deeply through your nose.
Take slow deep breaths through your nose and out through your mouth.
This is the safest moment I could ever be in.
Here and now is the most beautiful moment.
I always know that I have more than enough.
I have enough patience,
I have enough time,
And I have enough love for myself.
I know how to keep me safe.
Time and love are my birthright and I am worthy of safety.
It is safe for me to release all projections placed on me,
Emotional or otherwise.
It is safe for me to feel my feelings and to release them in healthy ways.
The projections placed on me were from unhealed souls.
I am letting go of all of these tethers,
These chains from those souls,
And stepping into my power right now.
This power is unlocked in this present moment.
This present moment is large enough to hold my feelings.
It is safe for me to explore my thoughts and my feelings.
My emotions are valid no matter what anyone has ever told me.
Imagine yourself as a child.
Hold the hand of that child and tell yourself,
You are safe.
I love you and you never have to stop crying.
I will always keep you safe.
I will never yell at you again.
I will protect you from anyone that has ever been mean to you.
Cradle that child within and let them be held.
Remember all of the times when you were that child and someone told you to go away,
Someone told you to shut up,
Someone told you that your art or your poetry was not good enough.
Hold that child and soothe them,
Love them,
Let them trust you.
Trust in your abilities to soothe yourself and to grow and hold yourself in that safety.
This beautiful bubble of safety and trust and love and compassion that you have created,
Hold that.
Surround yourself and your child self with that love.
Let that love sink into every cell in your body.
Hold that love.
Remember that you always knew that you deserved better.
That's why you always got so upset with the adults around you.
Your soul knew deep within that there was more,
That there was better,
That there was goodness within you and meant for you.
And now your soul is in alignment with that which it has always known.
And it is your time to claim that,
To take that golden light goodness and absorb it,
To hold it,
To keep it,
To wrap yourself up in it and to let go of those cords and those tethers and those bandages that your family put on you.
Release all of those.
Cut those cords,
Cut those ribbons,
Cut those ties,
Those bandages,
Those tethers.
Let them go.
Allow your ancestors to lift you up and to hold you and to love you and to acknowledge your gifts and talents.
As we wind down,
Let your ancestors hold you and your childlike self.
Let them celebrate you in this embrace.
Let this embrace fill you with so much glowing energy that you know you are guided,
You are safe.
And this universe has compassion and love for you.
Yes,
For you.
And so it is.
And so it is.
