So wherever you are go ahead and close down your eyes and start with a few deep cleansing breaths. At your own pace however deep you want your breath to go and on every exhale I want you to imagine letting go of anything you're hanging on to. Anything. As you breathe in feel the air reach all the way down to the bottom of your belly and allow the air to collect anything that no longer serves you and let it all out. As you breathe feel the air moving in through your body touching your nostrils the back of your throat feel it running down your chest and into your belly and watch it as it exits as well up the chest out the nose passing the nostrils. And now I'd like you to bring your attention to all the parts of your body that are in contact with the surface beneath you. Notice which parts of your body are resting and I want you to feel the effortless support that comes from mother earth and let that support allow you to drop your defenses a little bit more relax your muscles a little bit more let it all down. And now from all of these points that are contacting the surface beneath you roots begin to grow down down into mother earth and you feel the weight of your body becoming just a little bit heavier and you watch your roots grow down digging through the soil digging through the rock the sand the clay and the waters of the earth and they grow stronger as they dig further down they grow wider thicker and your roots come to find the core of mother earth and as you wrap around the core of mother earth you feel so held so protected so safe and mother earth asks for some of your shit mother earth is ready to make some compost so if you want to quickly scan over your body and just notice are there pain points is there discomfort how can i send this discomfort down these roots how can i send this energy down these roots because mother earth is calling for it she's asking for it you can go ahead and drop anything that you don't want to carry anymore and as a thank you mother earth is now going to send up some of her grounding energy and you might imagine your roots turning green green energy is coming up through all the layers of the earth and the part of your body that's contacting the surface beneath you turns green and you feel this sense of peace of this earthly nature coming up through your body slowly rising all the way to the top and before you know it your whole body is green your whole body holds the vibration of mother earth that peaceful serene calm grounded energy go ahead and take three deep breaths feeling into this calm sense and now bringing all of your attention to the crown of your head very top of your head and we are going to call in divine white light from the skies above you might feel your crown chakra begin to spiral open feeling a an energetic funnel opening on the crown of your head and you call in this sparkling white iridescent energy from the skies above you feel it filling your head your face blending with the green grounding energy down through your neck and throat wrapping your shoulders in this warm divine white light green and white dance down your arms hands and fingers your chest and upper back white and green whole belly back hips glutes pelvic floor legs ankles and feet green and white green and white grounded yet divine and i'd like you to take a moment to feel the connection to the above and the below the equal connection above and below and tune into how it feels to be the conduit that connects heaven with the earth you are what draws this down and grounds this energy and in whatever way feels natural intuitive to you i'd like you to welcome in your highest self the highest version of your soul let's call them in and ask for their assistance if this is the first time you are working with them you might feel a a larger presence with you you might feel a warm presence with you you might feel a safe protective presence with you this is the highest version of your soul and they're just here to help you along this and now at this time with the protection of our highest self i would like you to recall the most recent time where you felt emotionally uncomfortable or if there's a specific event that you are bringing i would like you to imagine that you are in this situation where you are emotionally uncomfortable undesirable emotions and i'd like us to drop out of our head stop the story go into your body what's your body feeling how are these emotions showing up in your physical body where are they what does it feel like texture what texture temperature what kind of temperature is there a color is there a shape are there any other descriptive factors within your body that represent the uncomfortable emotions and now i'd like you to ask your body okay drop out of the mind stay in this bodily feeling ask your body when was the first time you remember feeling this way and go just go when was the first time you remember feeling this way and gain your bearings it doesn't have to make sense it's better if it doesn't where are you describe the setting to yourself just look around who's with you how old are you what's happening and now this is going to be a discussion between you and your highest self and your intuition i'd like you to ask is this the place where we need to heal right now or is there an earlier memory trust go whether you stayed in the first place or if you were able to go a little bit further back there's no right or wrong way whatever works let's just get more comfortable with the setting where are we who are we with how old are we and do your best to detach from details okay don't get hung up was i four was i five was i six i'm young okay i'm about this age we're going based on feels here how is this little version of you feeling will this little version of yourself allow big version of you to come sit down to talk if yes go ahead and open the conversation hey what's going on are you okay what do you need are you safe if the answer is no if little you doesn't want to talk to big you does little you want to talk to your higher self your guardian angel if so start the conversation hey what's going on you okay you safe what do you need i'll give you a moment to converse with this little version of you let them know it's okay you're not a baby it's okay you can feel this way feel free to validate them yeah i know i know she's really mean i know he does things like that i know that that sucks that really sucks once little you has been able to express all of the emotions that they are feeling let's ask them what they need let's let them tell us what do you need right now and in this energetic playground we can give them whatever they want so let's do that maybe they want to go somewhere maybe they need to call something into them maybe they just want to be held while they cry take this if it resonates and if not go ahead and keep giving little you what they're asking for but this feels like some of us need this right now is there a person in the life of little you that little you needs to express some feelings towards is there a person that little you was never able to truly express authentically how they made little you feel if that's the case we can have a lovely compassionate adult conversation with this person with your highest self as well as their highest self so if this is resonating with you let's get set up in a comfortable space maybe it's a living room maybe we're outside in a field wherever little you feels most safe and authentic and if this person that you need to share feelings with if they seem like they don't want to accept this message let's ask their higher self to calm them down open them up open their heart just a little bit let down the defenses bring the love and now little you gets to open up and share because the feelings that little you was feeling those were valid those were so valid and now little you gets to express those feelings tell them everything let it out let it out and now i'd like you to receive the compassion from this person receive their compassion receive their apology and if it's okay to give them a hug and let's check in with little you one more time is there anything right now that you need is there anything right now that you want if you could have anything in the world right now what would it be and make it happen and now before we leave i'd like you to turn to little you and put one hand on your heart either in your mind's eye or in real life but show little you your heart and notice that it's starting to open it's physically starting to open the energetic portal to your heart is beginning to open and i'd like you to invite little you into your heart let them know that they have had a place here for all this time they have been held here for all this time and now you'd like to communicate to them that they are welcome here at all times and if they'd like to come in welcome them in if they choose to stay let them stay but know that the door is always open remind them that they're safe they've always been safe they've always been protected and as you turn towards your higher self you see an energetic portal in the space of their heart opening and they're saying you've been here all along you've always had a place here you've always been safe you've always been protected and if you choose to jump into the cocoon of your higher self's heart do so the last thing i'd like to do is to whitewash this memory spread white light all over turn up the brightness drench white light iridescent sparkling white silver gold pink orange sparkling beautiful white light covers this whole experience and in your own time begin to bring yourself back into your physical body wiggling your fingers and toes rolling out the wrists and ankles moving your body however it's calling you to and if you haven't yet opened your eyes you always have the option to bring your hands together rub them back and forth to create friction to create heat you can cup your warm palms over your eyes as you begin to blink your eyes open slowly allowing the light to peek in through the cracks as you transition back into your physical body
