Welcome to this guided meditation for healing your past traumas.
As you prepare to approach your inner world,
Know that you are in a safe and secure space,
Ready to explore and heal.
May you find a quiet and comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
You may choose to sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground or lie down on your back,
Allowing your body to fully relax.
Once you are settled,
Gently close your eyes and turn your attention inward.
Begin by taking a deep breath in.
Filling your lungs with fresh,
Rejuvenating air.
Hold it for a moment,
And then slowly release the breath,
Feeling any tension or stress start to melt away.
Again,
Inhale deeply.
Noticing the rise of your chest.
And the expansion of your lungs.
Hold this breath.
And as you exhale,
Imagine letting go of any thoughts or distractions that are not serving you in this moment.
Continue to breathe slowly and deliberately.
Allowing the rhythm of your breath to anchor you in the present moment.
With each inhale.
Imagine drawing in peace.
And tranquility.
With each exhale,
Envision releasing any remaining tension or stress in your body.
Now.
Bring your attention to the top of your head.
Imagine a warm,
Soothing light.
Gently resting here.
And as you breathe.
.
.
Feel this light begin to spread.
Let it flow down to your forehead,
Relaxing any lines or tension,
And move down to your eyes,
Soothing and softening.
Feel this light continue to travel down to your cheeks and jaw,
Releasing any tightness held there.
Allow it to flow down your neck and shoulder and feel the weight being lifted as you surrender to the support beneath you.
Notice now as the light moves through your arms.
All the way down to your fingertips,
Leaving a trail of relaxation.
Bring your attention to your chest,
Feeling it rise and fall with each breath.
And allow the light to infuse this area,
Bringing a sense of calm and ease.
As you continue to breathe.
Feel the light travel down your spine.
Releasing any tension held in your back.
Let it move through your hips,
Down your legs,
And all the way to your toes,
Ensuring every part of you is touched by this soothing light.
With your whole body now feeling relaxed and at peace.
Take a moment to revel in this sense of calm.
Know that you are supported and you are safe.
Cradled in the peacefulness of this moment.
You have the strength and wisdom to find healing.
Take a deep,
Nourishing breath in.
And as you exhale,
Allow your mind to gently drift back in time.
Let it wander to a past experience that feels significant.
And has contributed to your shadow self.
This may be a moment that was challenging,
Painful,
Or transformative.
Trust your intuition to guide you to the right memories.
As this memory arises in your mind.
Try your best to observe it.
Without judgment or criticism.
Allow yourself to see the events unfold.
Just as they happen.
And notice any emotions or physical sensations that arise within you.
Breathe into these sensations.
Giving them space to be felt.
And gently acknowledged.
It's okay to feel these emotions.
No matter how intense or uncomfortable they may be.
They are a part of your experience and acknowledging them is an important step toward healing.
So,
Take another deep breath and give yourself permission to feel.
Now,
With kindness and compassion,
Imagine sending a soothing energy to yourself in that past moment.
Visualize this energy as a warm,
Gentle light.
Enveloping your past self.
And providing them with love and support.
Offer words of comfort and reassurance.
Letting your past self know that they are not alone.
And that they have the strength to get through this challenge.
Take a moment to reflect on how this experience has shaped you.
Consider the strength.
Resilience,
And wisdom.
That have come from navigating this challenge.
Take a few more moments to hold this space for your past self.
Allowing them to soak in the warmth and love from your light.
Know that through this act of kindness and compassion,
You are helping to heal your past wounds and bring peace to your shadow self.
Gently begin to shift your focus back to the present moment.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Feeling the rise and fall of your chest.
Notice the sensations in your body and the calmness that surrounds you.
Take a deep breath in.
Acknowledging the strength it took to face your past.
As you exhale,
Let go of that past experience,
Knowing that you have given it the attention and care it needed.
When you are ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
Bringing movement back to your body.
Slowly open your eyes,
Coming back to the present moment.
Carrying with you a sense of peace and closure.
Remember.
This practice is a step towards healing.
And understanding your shadow self.
Be kind to yourself.
And know that you have the strength to heal.
