Find a quiet,
Comfortable place where you can fully relax.
Sit or lie down in a position that supports you.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it for a moment and exhale slowly through your mouth.
With each inhale,
Imagine drawing in peace,
Warmth,
And light,
And with each exhale,
Release any tension,
Stress,
Or resistance,
Bringing your awareness to the present moment.
There is nowhere to be but here,
Right now.
As you inhale and exhale,
Set an intention for your practice today.
Silently say to yourself,
I am here to meet,
Nurture,
And heal my inner child.
I create safety and deep self-love within me.
Breathe this intention into your heart space,
Letting it settle like a gentle whisper of reassurance.
Now imagine yourself standing at the entrance of a beautiful,
Peaceful space,
A place where you feel completely safe.
This could be a lush forest,
A golden field,
A cozy room filled with soft light,
Wherever feels right for you.
As you step forward,
You notice a presence ahead.
As you clear your eyes and focus a little deeper,
You notice that it is a younger version of you,
Your inner child.
See them clearly,
Begin to notice how old they are,
What they are wearing,
How they stand,
Or how they sit.
Do they look happy,
Sad,
Maybe unsure?
Observe them with love and curiosity,
Taking in more and more details.
On your next inhale,
Slowly walk towards them,
And as you do,
Radiate warmth,
Safety,
And unconditional love.
When you are ready,
Stand,
Kneel,
Or sit beside them,
Meeting them where they are,
And gently say,
I see you,
I am here for you,
You are safe with me.
Watch how they respond,
If they seem hesitant,
That's okay,
Allow them to take their time.
You are here with no expectations,
Only love.
Now ask them,
What do you need from me right now?
Pause and listen.
Allow their answer to come in any form,
Words,
Emotions,
Sensations,
Or even silence.
Trust whatever arises,
Let them express whatever they need to say,
Be fully present,
Holding space for their truth.
Now bring your hands to your heart,
And imagine a warm golden light radiating from your chest.
This is your love,
Your compassion,
Your safety.
Gently extend this light forward toward your inner child.
See it wrapping around them like a warm embrace,
Filling them with reassurance and healing energy.
Now speak to them with the words they always needed to hear,
You are so loved,
You are safe with me,
You don't have to be perfect to be worthy,
Your feelings matter,
I will always protect you.
Feel these words settling into their heart,
Dissolving any fear,
Shame,
Or loneliness they may have carried.
Watch as their face softens,
Their body relaxes,
And their eyes begin to glow with trust.
If they need a hug,
Embrace them,
If they need to cry,
Hold them,
If they want to play,
Laugh with them,
Whatever they need,
This is the time to give it freely.
Let them know,
I will never abandon you,
I will always be here for you.
Give yourself a few moments to stay in this space,
Allowing the healing to deepen,
Allowing the exchanges between you and your inner child to go back and forth until completion.
Now gently take their hand and let them know it's time to bring them home,
Into your heart where they will always be safe,
Always loved.
When they are ready,
Invite them to step into your heart space,
Feel their presence merging with yours,
Filling every part of you with warmth,
Innocence,
And joy.
Breathe deeply and fully,
With every inhale feel their love integrating within you,
With every exhale release any past pain or separation.
Now affirm to yourself,
I am whole,
I am loved,
My inner child is safe within me.
Sit in this energy for a few more breaths,
Soaking in the deep connection and love.
Begin to bring your awareness back to your breath,
Feeling the surface of the chair beneath you,
The backrest behind you,
Reorienting to the present moment.
Begin wiggling your fingers and toes,
Feeling yourself return fully into your body.
Place your hands over your heart and whisper,
Thank you my inner child for trusting me,
We are always one.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Looking at the world around you,
Carrying this deep love and integration into your day.
