Welcome dear friend to this powerful inner child meditation.
You can do this meditation sitting up or laying down whichever is more comfortable for you.
We will start by centering ourselves with three deep nourishing breaths.
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.
This allows you to feel your breath and hold yourself throughout this journey.
We will breathe in for three,
Hold it and then out for four.
Let's go.
Breathe in two,
Three,
Hold,
Out two,
Three,
Four.
In two,
Three,
Hold and out two,
Three,
Four.
And one last time.
In two,
Three,
Hold and out two,
Three,
Four.
As you now find your regular rhythm of breathing,
I will open our meditation with a protection prayer.
I call upon the universe,
Please surround us with your pure white light to keep us safe and protected.
Please guide us with your pure love and wisdom to support us through this journey today.
Thank you.
It is time now to start our journey and if at any time it feels like you can't go on,
Just remember to breathe,
Feel your hands holding you in place,
Breathe into those emotions knowing you are safe and ready to heal this pain.
I invite you now to remember back to when you were 10 years old.
See yourself at that age.
As you look around,
You can see in great detail where you lived.
Your surroundings are as clear now as it was back then.
You can hear familiar sounds and even notice smells that take you back to this time in your childhood.
I want you now to remember a specific time at this age when you felt alone,
Perhaps unloved or unworthy.
Really feel into this memory.
Just breathe and allow the emotions to surface without any judgment.
Imagine now there is a knock at the door and your 10 year old self opens the door to see your current self standing there.
Step forward and embrace your younger self.
Then lead them to a chair where you sit down so that you are eye level with them.
As you look into their eyes,
You see an emotional void they have.
You can feel their vulnerability.
You know what they need.
You are here to give them the love that they missed out on,
To nourish them with the emotional support that they never received.
Say to them,
I see you.
It's okay.
I am here.
Tell them that they are enough,
That they are loved beyond words,
That they are strong and that they are perfect just the way they are.
I want you to take some time now to nourish your 10 year old self with the words and support that only you know that they need to hear.
We cannot change the course of the past,
But we can shower them with the love that they need so that you can heal this inner child.
It is time now to say goodbye to your 10 year old self.
You have nurtured them and given them the love that they needed.
Embrace them with one last hug and whisper to them,
I see you,
I am you,
And I love you.
You feel at peace leaving because you know your inner child feels the love that they need to move forward in life.
Now imagine that love filtering through your life as if it was always there.
See yourself at different ages,
Perhaps at 18,
21,
28,
32 or in your 40s and notice that emotional void is now gone.
As a child we look to the people around us for the love we need.
When these needs are not met we continue as an adult that cycle of seeking love never quite feeling that it's enough.
We have the ability to give ourselves the love we missed,
To fill that void,
To heal that pain.
As deep inside only we truly know what we need.
Embrace your power,
Face the pain head-on and learn to love yourself exactly as you need.
This meditation is designed to be used at any time you feel a past or younger version of yourself is missing the emotional support they needed.
Replay this meditation and perhaps go back to different ages that need some attention.
Stay strong my beautiful friend and go forth in life knowing that you have the power to give yourself the love and support you not only need but deserve.
Blessed be.
