Closing your eyes gently.
Imagining your parents.
And say to them,
I know any of our conflicts are there for my growth.
I know any moment of tension or my annoyance is there for my growth.
You gave me life,
And that is an enormous good.
I take all the good between us and give it a special place in my heart.
I'll honor the life you gave me by living it authentically.
I'll trust myself,
And I'll live my life in a loving way,
As fully as I can,
Because I was born to be free.
I am always your child.
No matter what I do or where I go,
I am always your child.
We have this link for eternity.
No one can take that away.
And I can promise that I will find happiness for myself as part of my gratitude to you.
I am my own person.
I don't need to lead the life you led.
I don't need to repeat your fate.
I don't need to share your values.
But I always send you gratitude and compassion.
Sending compassion to you,
I send compassion to myself.
Sending compassion to myself,
I send compassion to you.
Tell them,
Parents,
You have the right to exist as you are.
I take you just as you are,
Your life as it is,
Without judging or expecting it to be different.
I see you with eyes of the heart,
And I thank you for being as you are.
Those are exactly the lessons I needed.
And put a hand on your heart,
And send the wish,
May I protect this heart.
May I view all beings with compassion,
With this heart.
May I act with kind intention,
With kindness from this heart.
And in its non-judgment,
May this heart be free.
May this heart honor all beings,
And listen to itself.
And now take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out through the mouth.
And coming back softly,
Coming back gently,
And sending compassion for your own heart.
