Hello.
I want to welcome you to this meditation.
Giving your inner child what they needed.
Take a moment to find a comfortable place where you can be completely at ease.
Gently close your eyes and allow your hands to rest softly in your lap or by your side.
Let your breath begin to slow.
Inhale through your nose.
And exhale gently through your mouth.
One more time.
A long loving breath in.
And a slow grounding breath out.
Feel the support of the surface beneath you.
Cradling you.
Steady,
Safe and here for you.
Before we begin this journey inward,
Let's create a safe container.
Imagine a warm golden light surrounding you.
Soft and protective.
Like a woven shawl of comfort and care.
This space is yours.
Nothing can harm you here.
You are safe.
You are held.
You are deeply loved.
Now I invite you to gently turn your attention inward.
Within you,
There's a younger version of yourself.
The child that you once were.
She might be very little.
Or perhaps she's a teenager.
She may appear clearly.
Or she might show up as a feeling.
A memory.
Or a sensation.
There's no right way.
Just allow her to come forward.
Take a moment to observe her.
What is she doing?
Where is she?
How does she feel?
If you can,
Gently approach her with kindness.
Sit beside her.
Let her know that you are here.
Let her know that you see her.
Let her know that you believe her.
Now ask her softly,
What did you need that you did not receive back then?
Let her speak.
Or show you.
It could be safety.
It could be someone to protect her.
Or maybe someone to listen.
Someone to hold her hand.
Or perhaps someone to tell her that she mattered.
Whatever it is,
Trust what comes.
Hold space for it.
Let her know,
I'm so sorry you did not receive what you needed.
But I am here now.
And now,
With intention,
Begin to offer her what she longed for.
If she needed to be held,
Wrap her in your arms.
If she needed kind words,
Speak them now.
You did not deserve what happened.
I love you exactly as you are.
I will protect you now.
You are safe with me.
Breathe love and tenderness into every word,
Every gesture.
Let your heart pour into hers.
You might imagine her face slowly softening.
Her shoulders relaxing.
And a little bit more peace coming into her body.
She's beginning to trust.
Beginning to feel that she matters.
Now gently invite her to come with you.
Not to disappear,
But to live with you.
Within your heart.
Let her know that she never has to face the world alone again.
She is part of you.
And you are strong now.
You are wise.
You are becoming the protector she always needed.
Take a deep grounding breath in.
And slowly exhale.
Place one hand over your heart and the other over your belly.
Feel the warmth of your own touch.
This is your safe place.
And you can return to this connection,
This sacred meeting anytime you need.
When you're ready,
Begin to bring your awareness back to the room.
Move your fingers a bit.
And wiggle your toes a little.
And when you feel ready,
You can open your eyes.
Back knowing you gave your inner child what she needed.
And that is something sacred.
You are deeply loved.
You are healing.
You are whole.
And when you feel that this could benefit you,
Maybe write in your journal about this experience.
And see what comes up.
When you feel like sharing,
I'm open to that.
And I want to thank you for joining me today.
Until next time,
Bye.
