Meditation from the book You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay Heal your inner family Begin by getting comfortable either seated or lying down Release any tensions you may have by saying Dear tension,
It's time for us to relax now Allow all the tension to melt away with all your love Begin to visualize yourself as a little child of 5 or 6 Look deeply into this little child's eyes See the longing that is there and realize that there is only one thing this little child wants from you And that is love,
Your love Reach out your arms and embrace this little child Hold them with so much love and tenderness Tell them how much you love them,
How much you care Admire everything about this child and say it's okay to make mistakes while learning Promise that you will always be there no matter what Now let this little child get very small So small until it is just the size to fit into your heart Put it there so whenever you look down you can see this little face looking up at you And you can give them lots of love Now visualize your mother as a little girl of 4 or 5 standing in front of you She looks so frightened and she is looking for love not knowing where to find it Reach out your arms and hold this little girl and let her know how much you love her How much you care Let her know she can rely on you to always be there no matter what When she quiets down and begins to feel safe Let her get very small So small just the size to fit into your heart Put her there with your own little child Let them give each other lots of love,
They can even become friends Now imagine your father as a little boy of 3 or 4 frightened,
Crying and looking for love See the tears rolling down his little face when he doesn't know where to turn You have become good at comforting frightened little children So reach out your arms and hold his trembling little body Comfort him,
Croon to him Croon to him,
Let him feel how much you love him Let him feel that you will always be there for him When his tears are dry and you feel the love and peace in his little body Let him get very small So small just the size to fit into your heart Put him in your heart so those 3 little children can give each other lots of love And you can love them all Your family is now united in your big beautiful loving heart Thank you for doing this practice and for healing your inner family Namaste
