This is a meditation that will help you to restore parental energy and support behind you.
This meditation and doing this exercise,
It also helps to bring you into balance with being able to receive abundance,
Nurture,
Love,
In balance with direction,
Purpose,
Achievement.
And so it can be useful for unblocking any barriers that would keep you from being able to move forward in your life and receive abundantly.
So go ahead and take a comfortable position,
A meditative position,
And start to turn inward,
Letting your eyes close softly.
And inhale deeply through the nose and sigh out through the mouth.
And do that for three or four deep,
Full breaths,
Ideally filling up your belly and releasing tension as you do so.
And once you're done,
You can let your breath start to move however it wants and just feel the ground beneath your feet.
Feel the chair,
The air around you,
And just realize that there's nothing to fix.
You're just arriving,
Bringing attention to your feet,
To your legs,
Your seat,
And your spine,
Letting your spine stack naturally,
That inner pillar between earth and sky.
And we'll set a simple rhythm.
We'll do some box breathing to begin.
So go ahead and inhale.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale.
One,
Two,
Three,
And four.
And then hold in that empty space.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Inhale.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Four.
Exhale.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Hold.
One.
And then go ahead and let your breath continue to run on its own.
As you inhale,
You draw life in.
As you exhale,
You give life back.
You're breathing and you're also moving energy,
Bringing your awareness front and center.
And if any area of the body feels louder,
You can just notice it.
You don't have to hold it all together.
The ground,
The gravity,
And the breath are holding you together.
And with the next few breaths,
Go ahead and imagine the people who came before you.
Known and unknown.
And see them standing behind you.
You don't have to see all the faces or know who everyone is.
But just visually see your ancestry line behind you,
Giving you a sense of support at your back.
And just feel how your body responds when you remember,
I'm not doing life alone.
And start to bring your attention to the belly,
The digestion,
The center of receiving.
And just allow breath to fill this area with light,
With space.
And invite in the presence of your mother,
Without the story,
Just recognizing her as the source of life.
And let her presence appear in front of you.
And just notice the distance,
If there's any warmth.
Or resistance.
Whatever's true for you,
Is you see her in front of you.
If there's a pull to create more space,
Just simply notice that.
That's your body's honest report.
And place your hands,
Palms up.
As if you're getting ready to receive.
And just stay with the breath and repeat slowly,
Ideally out loud.
But if you can't,
You can repeat it within.
Mother,
You are my mother,
And I am your child.
You gave me life.
That was the greatest gift.
Whatever you could give,
I take now.
I take it all,
Just as it is.
What's yours,
Stays with you.
What's mine,
I will carry.
Out of what I receive from you,
I will create something good.
Even if parts of me want to pull away,
I honor they tried to protect me.
It's safe now to receive what you offered.
And if you sense any energetic cords,
Hooks,
Or weight between you and mother,
Simply visualize unhooking,
Untying,
Or setting them down.
Releasing those ties allows you to connect from a place of wholeness,
To have your energetic space.
And once that is done,
You can let your mother take her rightful place behind your left shoulder.
She doesn't need to touch you.
She doesn't need to be right up against you.
Just several feet back,
A presence at your back left.
And you might even feel the back left field start to fill in energetically.
You might start to notice the front of your life.
Does it feel more clear,
More open?
Now that you can acknowledge and accept that what she gave you was what she could give you,
You don't have to keep seeking more.
From her.
It was enough.
And now you can shift to receiving from life,
From the universe.
You can recognize the inherent abundance that's within you.
Instead of moving from a place of lack or deprivation,
You can move from fullness,
Prosperity,
Gratitude.
And you can say,
Mother,
Out of your life,
I live.
You gave enough.
Thank you for life.
And now invite in the presence of your father,
Who brings purpose,
Direction,
Structure,
As it arrived to you.
And let his presence appear in front of you.
And just scan your head,
Neck,
Shoulders,
Chest.
See if there's any tension or duty that isn't yours.
And just notice it.
There's a desire to pull or push away.
You can notice that too.
And if you sense any cords,
Hooks,
Weight between you,
You can gently disconnect them,
Set them down.
And replete slowly and directly each statement.
Father,
You are my father,
And I am your child.
You will always be my father.
You gave direction and strength,
Even if it came through challenge.
Whatever you gave,
I take.
I honor your path.
I'm an adult now.
I walk my own path.
I no longer fear.
I no longer have to prove myself to you.
Your strength lives in me.
Out of your struggle and pain,
I will make something good.
I see your humanity.
And now let your father take his rightful place behind your right shoulder.
Again,
Not too close,
Several feet back.
Just a steady presence.
And start to feel the balance,
Receiving that support from behind,
Clearing up your path forward.
Your parents may not have given you what you thought they should have given you.
It might not have been perfect.
But even through the imperfection of what they could give,
They gave you everything that you needed.
And when you can accept it as it is,
It frees you up to have your own direction,
Your own purpose,
Your own structure.
And so repeat these last two sentences.
My work has value because it serves life.
My value is inherent.
Life expresses through me.
And sense the mother in the back left and the father in the back right.
And feel the spine as a conduit,
Chest open,
Belly receptive,
Feet grounded.
And say each sentence out loud.
I have what I need from both of you.
I'm free to succeed without guilt.
I serve life through my work.
The more I give my gifts,
The more life supports me.
Thank you,
Mom,
For life.
Thank you,
Dad,
For structure.
I'm an adult now.
And I will make something beautiful with this.
And visually,
Start to imagine the path before you.
It's an open road.
Where one gentle action presents itself.
No forcing.
Just the next step one after the other.
Allow this meditation to let you individuate from your family dynamics.
And to step forward into your own path.
With your family behind you.
Whatever they could give you,
You take.
And you're ready to make something beautiful of this life.
You are free to move forward.
To honor and be loyal to your own path,
Your own journey.
Your own abundance.
And let that intention fill in your body with a bright golden light.
Filling you from your toes,
Through your legs,
Through your body,
Your arms,
Neck,
Head.
Let yourself be full of that bright golden light.
Your freedom to prosper.
And whenever you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes.
Bringing this order,
Bringing this realignment with you.
Live life beautifully.
