Welcome to your reparenting inner child visualization.
Please get comfortable sitting up in a chair or lying down,
Whichever you prefer.
Once you get comfortable,
Go ahead and rest your hands on top of your legs and put your palms facing up.
This is going to open you up to receive whatever it is you need during this visualization.
Go ahead and take a deep breath in and out.
And in and out.
And one more big breath in and out.
We're going to begin by thinking about a moment when you were younger and you didn't feel that you got what you needed from a parent or guardian.
Maybe it was a big dramatic moment where you didn't get what you needed.
And maybe it was a smaller moment that still left a big impression on you.
It could also be something that your parent or guardian directly did,
Or just something you wanted their help and support on and you didn't get it.
Whatever it was,
It left an impression on you and you still think about it from time to time.
Sometimes very little instances can leave a big impression on us,
Especially when we're young.
Maybe you were called a name.
Maybe you were smacked in the face.
Maybe you were embarrassed in front of other people.
Whatever it was,
Your parent didn't help you in a way that made you feel good.
And it stayed with you.
And you held onto those feelings until now.
And we're going to release them.
We're not going to hold onto those feelings anymore because they aren't serving us.
Okay,
Now that you've thought about a moment that you felt that you didn't get the support that you needed,
We're going to start picturing exactly what happened and what it is we wanted and needed to happen in that moment.
While we're thinking about that situation,
I want you to imagine the youngest version of yourself where you can remember this moment happening.
I want you to picture the whole scenario.
What did you look like at that age?
What were you wearing?
What did your body language look like during this situation?
Now picture your parent or guardian that was involved in this situation.
What did they look like at the time?
What were they wearing?
What was their body language like?
And now I want you to start to feel how you may have felt during that moment.
Were you angry?
Were you sad?
Were you scared?
Even though it's hard,
I want you to feel it after going through that scenario in your head.
Just feel what you were feeling.
Now we're going to add on a little piece to what you're visualizing right now.
I want you to still hold the image of that little version of you in front of your parent or guardian during the situation you're thinking about.
But now I want you to think about a version of your parent that you wanted and needed there for you.
And imagine that version of your parent or guardian that's there with that little version of you.
You're changing into that version of your parent that you wanted and needed.
Imagine that their body language is changing right in front of you.
It's becoming more relaxed and calm.
And it's totally different than how it was before.
It's exactly the version of them that you wanted and needed in this situation.
Imagine that their facial expressions are changing right in front of you.
Everything about them is becoming more relaxed and calm or whatever it is that you needed about them.
That is what you're seeing right in front of you.
Now imagine that they are saying something completely different to you than what they said in the original scenario.
Or maybe in the original scenario they said nothing and now they're talking to you.
If it was them that hurts you in the original scenario they are now apologizing in a way that you wanted them to.
They're letting you know that they see you and they're sorry.
And maybe it was someone else that hurt you in the original scenario and your parent just didn't react in a supporting way.
And so you're now imagining them being supportive and comforting you in a way that you wanted and needed at the time.
Whatever situation you pictured you're now picturing it ending completely different and you are getting the love and support you needed from your parent that you didn't originally get.
It may also be helpful to imagine your visualized parent hugging you,
That little version of you,
And transferring their new comforting energy onto that little version of you.
We're going to just sit here in this for a moment and you may be feeling a release right now and that's totally okay.
It can be painful to picture the younger you feeling angry,
Sad,
Scared,
Or whatever you felt but you don't have but didn't have the support to release correctly.
It can also be painful to think about past situations that we haven't been able to let go of.
But you are now repairing yourself through the situation however it is you needed.
You're now capable of giving your younger self whatever it is that they needed then.
You can release the emotions from those moments and keep them in the past.
You don't need to bring those emotions that are unresolved into your future.
Now I want you to imagine the little version of you walking out of the scene with your new visualized parent and as they walk out they begin to transform into the now version of you.
You're walking into a new scenario of something you would be doing today.
Maybe it's sitting in your house or your car just doing something totally normal.
How does that now version of yourself feel now?
You should feel a little bit lighter and a little more empowered to repair yourself around things that you needed as a child.
Just know that we have the ability to heal ourselves.
We don't need to wish that our life was different or that we had different parents or a different childhood.
We were meant for this life.
It's our job to make the most of it and heal our past so that we can have a great future.
We can have whatever life we want.
We just need to believe it.
Okay,
We're going to start getting out of this visualization.
You can go ahead and move your fingers and your toes and open your eyes.
I hope you had a really nice release during this meditation and I want to thank you so much for listening.
