Welcome to this week's meditation,
Freeing the Inner Child.
This meditation can be done in a couple of different ways.
Either you can blindfold yourself and do the entire thing in silence within your own imagination.
Or you can actively engage in the process using sounds and your physical body.
Both ways work and both are powerful.
If I were you,
I would try both and see which one works better for you.
You will also notice I have given you two different versions of the meditation.
These are exactly the same with the exception of the music.
In one version,
The music is gentle and in the background.
And in the other,
The music changes along with the stages and is designed to enhance the process.
In both cases,
I guide you through the whole meditation.
This is a 63 minute long process and consists of 19 stages.
As I mentioned at the end of the waking up content,
I have incorporated every section of what we have talked about this week.
And I have combined elements from Teal Swan's The Completion Process,
Dolores Cannon's Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique,
Osho's Dynamic Meditation,
Guest Alt Therapy and Self Inquiry to name just a few.
If you decide you would like to try the dynamic version of this meditation,
I suggest you get a pillow or a cushion and keep them close by.
Then,
When you make it to the somatic release part of the process,
You can use this pillow or cushion as a prop to enhance your experience.
You can shout into the cushion.
You can scream into it.
You can swear into it.
You can punch into it.
You can even use it to bang on the floor.
That way,
You won't hurt yourself and you won't disturb anybody who's close by.
If you would like to use a prop,
Pause this recording now,
Go and get that,
Come back,
Blindfold yourself and then we shall begin.
Begin by taking a deep breath in now and then just let yourself sigh it all the way out.
Taking another deep breath in and then just sighing it all the way out.
Bringing yourself to this moment now.
I want you to begin by imagining a beautiful,
Magical,
Safe place all around you.
Maybe it's in the mountains.
Maybe it's a beach.
Maybe it's a forest.
Or maybe it's a different dimension,
Another world altogether.
This is your safe space.
This is your magical place.
Here you can do whatever you want.
Maybe there's lots of flowers.
Maybe there's lots of trees.
Maybe there's lots of animals.
Your imagination is your only limitation.
You can fill this place with power animals,
With guides,
With angels,
With friends,
With waterfalls,
Whatever you want.
For the next few minutes,
Spend your time creating and then playing in this beautiful,
Safe,
Magical space that is unique to you.
Do that now.
Now I want you to see a path in front of you.
This path leads out of your beautiful,
Safe place.
It leads into the unknown.
It leads to a special place inside of your subconscious where an aspect of you is waiting for you to go and find them now.
And so with a sense of adventure,
With courage,
And with bravery,
You begin to walk down this path now.
Leaving your safe place,
Allowing it to fade into the distance behind you.
You are now ready to go on your own hero's journey.
To go back in time and to find a part of yourself that needs you so much right now.
And so with your head held high,
You continue walking down this path,
Curious about what you might find at the other end.
Now that you've made it to the other end of the path,
You notice in front of you a magic carpet.
Filled with excitement,
You jump onto this carpet now.
And you lie down on your back,
Allowing this carpet to take all of your weight and any worries from you now.
This magical carpet knows how to travel back in time,
Through time and space,
To the perfect childhood memory.
And so slowly this carpet starts to move back through time and space.
It knows exactly where to take you.
It knows which memory you're ready to revisit now.
And so there's nothing you have to do but to trust the process.
This carpet is picking up speed now,
Moving back through time and space.
Searching for the perfect memory.
A challenging memory.
A hard memory.
A memory in which an aspect of your child self got stuck in time and has been waiting for you ever since to go back and to reclaim it.
Trusting with every cell of your body that this carpet knows exactly what to do,
You relax even more deeply as it continues to travel back through space and time until eventually it will find the perfect memory to drop you off at.
Slowly,
The carpet comes to a complete stop.
It has found the perfect childhood memory to drop you off at.
The perfect place and the perfect time.
It's hovering above this memory now.
And so without any effort at all,
You float down off this carpet towards this memory now.
You're floating down,
Down,
Down towards this memory.
And in three,
Two,
One,
You have arrived.
The first thing that you see,
Sense or feel is correct.
Allow your senses to reorientate themselves to this memory.
Slowly becoming aware of where you are.
Allow your body to move into a position that enhances the feelings and the emotions that are arising.
Becoming more and more aware of the feelings and the emotions that this memory is bringing up in your body now.
And so that we make sure that we have the earliest possible memory,
I want you to become acutely aware of the feeling that you are feeling now.
Now that you have this feeling,
I want you to notice that beneath you,
The ground has just turned into quicksand.
This is magical quicksand that tethers you back to the earliest childhood memory that you have in which you remember feeling this exact same way.
Begin sinking through this quicksand now.
Travelling back even further in time and space to the earliest childhood memory that you have in which you remember feeling this exact same way.
You are sinking through the quicksand now.
And in 3,
2,
1,
You will have arrived in the earliest childhood memory that you have in which you remember feeling the exact same way.
The first thing that you see,
Sense or feel is correct.
Whichever childhood memory you have arrived in,
You have 5 minutes to explore this memory in as much emotional depth as possible.
Do this by becoming the child now.
Allow your body to move into the position the child was in at the time.
And allow the feelings and the sensations to flood the cells of your body.
As uncomfortable as this may be,
The more deeply you are willing to feel this,
The more deeply you will be able to process it.
So allow yourself to become the child now.
And replay the memory in your mind over and over again,
As this will help to surface the feelings and the emotions that the child felt.
Stay committed and stay focused to the very end.
You have another 4 minutes to do this,
Starting now.
You're now going to step out of the child's body and you're going to become your adult self once again.
This is very easy to do.
Just imagine that you're stepping up out of the child's body,
Turn around and sit down as your adult self,
Looking back at the child.
This is a very important part of the process.
Here you need to talk to the child and you need to let them know that they are safe with you.
Remember that all children have a couple of basic needs.
They need to feel seen.
They need to feel heard.
They need to feel validated.
They need to feel safe.
And they need to feel in control.
This is your opportunity to communicate with them that all their needs are met.
Here you want to see them.
Here you want to validate them.
Here you want to provide them with a safe place to be in this state.
And you also want to let them know that they have control over this process.
You have a couple of minutes now to communicate backwards and forwards with your inner child in order for them to gain your trust.
They will not go through this process if they do not trust you.
So this is your opportunity to meet your own inner child's needs,
So much so that they are willing to take the next step.
Communicate with your inner child now and build this trust between you.
Now that you've begun to rebuild the trust between you and your inner child,
There is another really important thing that you need to do here.
Inside of this memory,
There may be other fractured aspects of your childhood self that are hiding.
Here you'll want to ask all the other aspects of your inner child to come out of hiding and to rejoin with the primary childhood self.
You may need to look around the memory and find these aspects of your child self.
These aspects are part of yourself that fractured during the traumatic event and they hid in different parts of the memory so that they didn't have to feel the pain of the event.
You need to let them know that they can come back and rejoin the main traumatized child self now because there is a solution and there is a way out of this.
Spend a couple of minutes exploring the memory now and regathering all these aspects and asking them to come back into the one childhood self.
Now that you've gathered all the different fractured aspects of your childhood self so that there's only one child sitting in front of you,
You are now going to shift back into being the child.
This is really easy.
Just imagine yourself spinning around and getting back into the body of the child.
Do that now.
Once you enter back into the body of the child,
You want to feel the original trauma once again.
Allow all the sensations and emotions to arise in your body even more strongly than the first time.
You now have the trust and the approval of the adult self and you have all the different aspects of yourself with you.
In just a few moments you're going to begin the somatic process.
What that means is you're going to have five minutes to process these emotions through your physical body.
That means you're going to get to shout,
Kick,
Scream,
Punch and blow shit up in your mind.
Whatever you need to do to free yourself emotionally.
If you need any help,
Call on your guides,
Your angels,
Your power animals,
Your higher self,
Your adult self,
Whatever you need.
Whatever you do,
Just don't stop moving.
Begin the somatic process now.
Now.
Just letting the body do whatever it needs to do to complete the somatic cathartic process.
Now that you've made it this far,
I want you to step back out of the child's body and become the adult once again.
As the adult,
You want to ask the child.
Are they now ready to leave this memory?
Have they completed what they needed to do here?
Are they ready and willing to come with you back to the safe place?
If they say yes,
Then this is a really easy step.
You just want to take their hand or pick them up or have them lead you out of the memory back towards the magic carpet.
If they say yes,
Take them now and just go and rest for a little while on the magic carpet.
If,
However,
They aren't ready to leave,
Then you need to communicate with the child and find out why.
Sometimes the child doesn't want to leave because there is a family member or a friend inside of the same memory that they don't want to leave behind.
If this is the case,
Let them know that their family member or their friend can come with you back to the safe place.
Sometimes the child doesn't want to leave because they don't want to leave their abuser behind.
They feel bad for them.
If this is the case,
Let the child know that you can call in an ancestor,
An angel,
A guide or an aspect of God to stay with their abuser and help them.
Let the child know it's not their responsibility to save them or protect them.
If the child is happy with this,
Then take them back to the magic carpet.
Sometimes the child doesn't want to leave because even though this experience is uncomfortable,
It's familiar and they don't know what it's going to be like in the safe place.
If this is the case,
Let them know that if they come to the safe place but they want to come back to this memory,
You will personally bring them back.
They need to know that they are in control.
They need to know that you have their back whatever they choose.
You have a couple of minutes now to work with your inner child to make sure that they are happy to leave the memory.
Maybe they really just need to go back and pick up a teddy bear and bring their teddy bear with them.
This is going to depend on your imagination and your ability to communicate with your inner child.
So spend some time now making sure that they're happy to leave and when they are,
Take them back to the magic carpet and wait there for the next step.
Now that you're both here safe and sound sitting on the magical carpet,
Allow your inner child to snuggle up in your arms as the carpet begins to fly back through time and space towards your magical,
Beautiful,
Safe place.
Allow the child to relax in your arms as you go on a beautiful ride through time and space straight back to your beautiful,
Beautiful,
Magical place.
And when the carpet arrives,
Allow your inner child to jump off and start to explore this beautiful place.
Let them know they're safe here,
They're free here and they can go and do whatever they want.
In fact,
Give them anything and everything that they want.
If they want an elephant so they can ride the elephant around,
Give them an elephant.
If they want a bear,
Give them a bear.
If they want an abundance of friends to play with,
Then fill the place with their friends.
If they want Santa to come and give everybody presents,
Then let Santa come and give everybody presents.
If they want to swim on a dolphin's back,
Then let them swim with the dolphins.
The point here is to meet all the child's needs and your imagination once again is the only limitation.
You have a couple of minutes now to absolutely overindulge your inner child and to watch them play and laugh and run and skip and do all the things a child does inside a magical place just like this.
Now that your inner child is happy,
Safe and free,
It's your turn to have some fun.
I now want you to walk around this beautiful place of yours and to find somewhere peaceful to sit.
Once you find this place,
Sit down and then look down and notice that inside of your hands is a crystal ball.
Inside of this crystal ball is the memory that you have just come from.
Spend some time now looking deeply into this memory.
You can turn the ball in different directions as to look at it from different perspectives.
There is no event that occurs in this entire universe that isn't also a gift allowing us to expand in consciousness and in love.
You now have a few minutes to explore the totality of this memory,
Knowing that if you extract all the gifts from it that your soul wanted you to extract from it,
Then you will no longer need the memory in order to grow and evolve spiritually.
You have a few moments,
So do that now.
Now that you've taken the time to learn from this memory,
You can begin to play with it.
Memories are malleable.
They are also transformable.
So I want you to take this crystal ball and I want you to start to play with it.
You can throw it up in the air,
You can roll it around your body,
You can juggle it if you want.
I just want you to start to have some fun.
Play with this memory.
See that it's not something that's permanent.
It does not dictate who you are.
So grab this crystal ball and start to throw it around.
You have a couple of minutes to play now.
Now that you've taken the time to play with this memory,
I want you to hold this crystal ball up in front of your eyes so that you can look into it one last time.
Looking deep into this memory,
It's now time to ask yourself a very important question.
And that question is,
Are you done with it?
Are you ready to complete it?
If the answer is yes,
I want you to imagine that this crystal ball is like a snow globe filled with glitter.
Now I want you to start shaking it up as hard as you can.
And when you're ready,
You're going to throw it as high as you can into the air.
A few seconds after you throw it,
It explodes in the air like a glitter bomb.
And glitter begins to rain down all around you.
Enjoy this glitter storm because it represents the completion of this memory.
It's now time to find your inner child one last time.
Walk around your beautiful place and call their name and they will come running.
Once you see them,
Take their hand and together you're going to go and find a waterfall.
Once you find this waterfall,
You're going to step under the water and allow it to cleanse you both of the past.
Washing down and clearing away any emotional residue attached to the trauma that we visited today.
Enjoy this crystalline water and enjoy this moment together.
Now that you are here in the waterfall,
It's time to ask your inner child a very important question.
And whatever they answer is correct.
You're going to ask them,
Do they want to merge with you and become one?
Or would they like to stay in the beautiful place and keep playing?
If they say they would like to merge with you,
Allow them to step into your body now and to become one with you.
If they say they would like to stay and play,
Then give them a big hug and let them go.
Again,
Neither answer is wrong.
If they want to merge with you,
Enjoy feeling them become one with you now.
If they want to go and play,
Enjoy watching them be free inside this beautiful place within your own heart.
Whichever one they choose,
Take a few moments to experience this now.
Now that you've made it this far,
It's time to celebrate.
It's time to celebrate in the way that your inner child would celebrate.
So either go back inside and feel your inner child within you.
Or go back to your beautiful place and find your inner child.
And together you're going to dance.
You're going to dance and let yourself be silly and free and innocent and childlike again.
If you have trouble with this,
Of course call on your inner child because they have no trouble being silly and free at all.
You have the next 10 minutes to do this.
So go for it,
Celebrate,
Be free,
Allow yourself this moment of absolute liberation.
And just allow this moment to wash over you.
Allowing your body to recalibrate itself into this new version of you.
Breathing deeply,
Sinking into this moment now.
Sending yourself so much love and gratitude for the process you just went through.
Sending your inner child so much love and gratitude for being a part of you.
And sending all the people involved in the memory that you saw so much love and gratitude and healing energy on their journey.
And now there's nothing left to do.
Just to relax,
To breathe and to be.
To enjoy this moment now just as it is.
Just a little tiny blip in the whole of eternity.
Thank you for watching.
