I Connect To My Inner Child Of Joy

Welcome to this guided meditation called I connect to my inner child of joy.

Let's begin.

Please get comfortable,

Seated or lay down if you wish.

Closing one eye,

Thank you.

Closing the next eye,

Thank you.

Noting that breath still for 7 seconds now.

Feel that breath and connect to smooth,

Long exhale.

Let the physical body get comfortable and still now.

So the aim of this guided meditation is to awaken the extraordinary creativity,

The playful and most uplifting quality of your inner child.

To balance out all the other stuff we call work,

Chores,

Responsibility and even infuse them too.

And how this lightens the load of life itself,

Keeping a healthy,

Strong balance.

The child,

The inner child has their set of tools and a deep connection to see the world more with wonder.

The act of believing in the magical side of things that lifts one to a higher place for the heart can really hit the high notes of joy.

And often too turning things into a game and no longer a chore.

So the art of relying on ourselves and ignite those precious qualities.

Think how often the child did laugh.

The innocence of looking for goodness,

The vibration of love.

So welcome to a special journey of connecting and making a fantastic bond with your inner child.

Let's expand that meditated mind.

And imagine as they did daydreaming and here you are but we now call it meditation.

So please,

Please picture now,

Your inner child is in a sense waiting for a private meeting,

Almost sacred,

At the top of a sacred mountain for you.

Mountain in a way are symbolic of going deep into yourself for answer.

A place far away.

And also the curious inner child with all those whys and hows questions.

Where do these mountains come from in the first place?

The Earth's crust is made of six gigantic plates that fit together like a jigsaw.

When two gigantic plates move through time they can collide into each other.

That pushes the Earth's crust up forming mountains.

I like how the word puzzle is mentioned.

Life does seem like a puzzle.

Getting all the pieces to fit.

Putting life into picture.

And dramatic changes can bring positives too.

For that new mountain may give home to new plants.

A place of security for animals.

And a climb for the real mountaineer.

So I invite you to awaken your inner child of joy.

Simply connecting straight away.

Both of you being bare feet.

How much your feet have grown.

For when the walk up this mountain begins soon,

It is to be felt every step with your bare feet.

And for now see yourself at the beginning.

Stirred under an old apple tree.

Breathe in the smell of ripe fruits lingering in the air.

Golden yellow apples.

See the apple tree as a gift.

See the solid strength of its trunk.

See the flexible branches.

Feel the roots you just know are in the ground.

And the perfect crown that is bathed in sunshine.

Pick this lithe fruit of two shiny yellow apples as a gift to share later.

And put them in your pocket for now.

Be aware how flat the ground is when you compare this to the mountain that is yet to be climbed.

And although there is great comfort of the flat ground here,

There is more on offer which is reconnecting to the extraordinary,

Uplifting qualities of your own inner child.

Be aware how mighty and tall this mountain is presented to you.

Reflect on this mountain.

Like the mountains in life.

Sometimes mountains require a lot of energy.

The adult of work shows responsibility.

Mountains are about overcoming obstacles.

To overcome the illusions of fear and stagnation.

Of doubts and overthinking.

But the rewards of the mountain climbed are magnificent.

The balance of work and play.

And the infusion of work lightened too.

So ready to go and meet your inner child.

Take that last look as you leave this apple tree and taking that first step up the mountain.

Allow the feet,

The skin to hug each climb.

Get to know this mountain.

Feel the hands are working with you and all the body is gently flowing gracefully up this mountain.

Start to feel the breath is working with you.

Each step forward,

Each inhale and each step up,

Each exhale.

Have a moment connecting to this mountain that wants to be climbed.

Listen to that inhale.

Listen to that inner child of joy whispering in your ear.

Wishing for the wind to guide us just because we can still wish.

So forwards with the help of a wind flowing in your direction.

Feeling that current of air helping just a little.

And connecting to the strength of this mountain in your hands and on the soles of the feet.

Feel that body and even the tones pushing with a rhythm of pushing you up and up.

Remember all work is rewarded.

Life is work and life has rewards.

Your inner child may whisper again in your ear to begin to hum or sing to yourself as you used to do when young got hot and make the journey lighter and more richer.

We will reach the top of the mountain in a few meditative minutes.

So please explore and soak up everything you can picture as you head to its sacred top.

We will reach the top of the mountain in a few meditative minutes.

We will reach the top of the mountain in a few meditative minutes.

We will reach the top of the mountain in a few meditative minutes.

We will reach the top of the mountain in a few meditative minutes.

Breathe,

Breathe your mountain breaths.

Be aware of clouds very much on the same day.

Reach on the same level now.

Soothing white peaceful clouds.

Ready now,

Feel a sense it's time to arrive on the top.

Breathing in creamy white sunlight.

Connect to this peaceful place in the achievement of getting here.

Have a moment more of simply attuning to this height.

It's time now for that special meeting to happen.

To be fully present with your inner child whom you may find sitting in a meditated state.

Take the weight off your feet.

Let them rest with your inner child's small feet.

Feel yourself sitting opposite each other.

For your inner child wishes to be sincerely in total eye-lock with you.

Let their eyes look deeply into yours.

For this is your inner child telling you how much they love you,

Love you,

Love you.

Through this journey and the journey of life.

Getting closer to your inner child.

And time to eat those golden apples too together.

Let the cheeks of the mouth fill with sweetness.

Feel more and more connected and whole again.

Strengthening together with the power of unconditional love.

Drink up the golden sunshine on this mountain top.

Look and stare how glorious the sky colours are.

And you are invited to meditate on this grand mountain together.

To awaken the extraordinary,

Uplifting qualities of your inner child.

Let the eyes of the sun shine.

It's time to remember all the things loved and natural interests and gifted from this early age.

So please enter your private mountain meditation together.

You have two minutes to bond.

Let the eyes of the sun shine.

Now,

Feeling really special.

And now,

Let the balance of work and play begin.

Having now the beautiful bond with your inner child,

Who really knows the importance of playtime and yourself the rewards of work through life and infusing work with that inner child of joy.

And with thanks to this mountain too,

For simply being here for you both and allowing this special time together.

Feel recharged,

Feel balanced and ready to move on together.

Then with thoughts of your playful inner child,

Wishes for a return journey home together,

But for it to be easy down this mountain with a playful slide.

So let there be,

Be a smooth winding flowing slide going around and down this mountain to take you both back to the ground to that apple tree.

Allow both of you to feel happy and playful with wind in your faces,

Sliding down for the next 30 seconds.

And rolling onto the ground with your hands,

And feeling whole again.

It's time to stand once more together under the old apple tree and both pick each a golden apple.

These golden apples really look like a ball of golden sunshine.

Eat this fruit and feel its sweetness in the cheeks of the mouth and swallow its nectar and thank the apple tree too.

Feel complete that you yourself have the wonderful uplifting qualities of your inner child now,

To balance the work we're playing beautifully.

May you continue your journey of life together.

Thank you.

Connect once more to your breath.

Feel it flow in and out,

Like work and play.
