Hello and welcome to this Conscious Parenting meditation on connecting with your child and getting them to listen to you.

Now ideally,

Whenever you are asking your child to do something,

You think that you are acting out of their best interest.

After all,

If you are asking them to do their homework,

Or to stop playing video games,

Or to stop interacting with a certain person,

You really feel that it is in their best interest.

But this can often be a very charged situation as well,

Because your child is their own being,

They have their own mind,

Their own way of processing and thinking about things.

And they may or may not be making decisions that seem right to you.

So first know that while it can feel really hard on the surface,

Know that deep behind all of this,

Spiritually,

There is a lesson for you.

Your child is always reflecting back to you your own wounds.

Your kids are showing to you where you need to be healed.

So sometimes when you get triggered by how your kids are reacting,

Take a deeper look at what it is inside you that resents that.

This meditation definitely helps you look and understand these deeper parts of you that are seeking this healing.

With this practice,

You will be able to calm yourself,

You'll be able to heal your own hurt and triggers,

And you'll also be able to calm your child without even speaking with them.

You'll be able to calm their energy around the whole situation,

So that when you both get together and talk,

It's really aligned and it's coming from a place of higher guidance for your child.

So when you're ready,

Take a nice deep breath,

Settle down,

Find yourself a nice space and just get comfortable.

Take a big breath,

Like really,

Really deep inhale,

Because often these situations can feel really charged and we might not be taking full breaths.

So just take a full breath,

Really allowing it to go inside you and take a nice exhale outside,

Letting go of all the frustration,

All the worries that you are feeling right now.

Again,

Breathing in relaxation,

Breathing in your inner peace,

And then breathing out all this chaos,

All this confusion,

All this drama,

A nice deep exhale.

Now another breath,

Breathing in your freedom,

Breathing in your calmness,

Letting it flow all through you,

Going all through your body parts and cells and veins,

And then exhaling out all the tension and the heaviness.

And so in front of you,

As you close your eyes,

Just imagine a picture of you,

A moving picture,

Just like the way you're sitting now or whatever position you are in.

Just imagine yourself with your eyes closed and you could put some special fairy dust on yourself,

Maybe that's a purple color,

And just let that purple color go onto your space and then it will show you where all you are feeling tensed and frustrated.

And that's okay,

That's just awareness,

You've just started the meditation and you will continue to heal yourself.

So as you notice all of these purple spots on you,

And maybe all of you is covered in these purple dots,

That's okay.

Just imagine digging up a tunnel,

It goes below your feet and it goes all the way to the earth,

Right to the center of the earth.

So you are essentially creating an earthing connection for you.

And earth,

As we all know,

It is excellent at taking away all the negative charges.

So just allow that connection and allow the earth to start draining away all this negative energy inside you.

And if you feel like it,

You could even extend and expand your tunnel so it doesn't have to just cover your feet,

Maybe the tunnel even comes up right to where you're sitting,

So your lower waist.

And just imagine this grounding cord,

This earthing channel,

Really taking away all the stress from your space,

All the anxiety,

All the tension,

And taking it away into the earth.

Earth is a natural conductor.

She is the mother earth,

The divine mother earth.

So just allow her to take all the stress and pain away from your space.

And for now,

As you are connecting with the divine mother earth,

Allow yourself to be the divine child.

So maybe you are carrying a heavy backpack of responsibility.

Maybe there's a lot of stuff that's whole.

Maybe there is a lot of stuff that is hovering over your head and your head feels clouded.

So just allow the earth to take it away.

So as you connect with the earth,

Notice how you're starting to feel a little bit more relaxed.

And now you are realizing other parts in your body that are feeling really heavy and tensed.

You notice there is a heavy backpack that you're carrying.

It's full of responsibilities and weight of things that you've got to do,

All the tasks you have to finish,

All the endless chores.

So you can take that backpack and just drop it down the tunnel and it can go right into the earth and the earth can take that heaviness away.

And don't worry,

Nothing is going to go away if it is not meant to go away.

When you give all the heaviness to earth,

She is just covering.

When you give all the heaviness to earth,

She is just converting all that negative charge into positive charge.

So life just gets easier for you.

All the pure positive energy comes back and all the heaviness,

All the negative energy,

All that's not serving you,

The noise,

The friction,

All of that starts to get washed away.

So just allow your divine mother earth to take away the big backpack of responsibilities and chores that you're carrying.

And then look at your head and maybe it's filled with all kinds of thoughts and possible scenarios of the worst things that will happen.

And so just let all of that drain into the earth as well.

And just breathe,

Taking in a nice deep breath,

Allowing relaxation to come in and allowing all this frustration and tiredness to release and leave your space.

And hear that you are connecting with the divine mother earth.

Notice that right now in this space,

You can be the child.

Right now you don't have to be the parent.

So you can just be the child and you can relax because you are with your divine mother and she is the unconditionally loving mother.

She doesn't judge you.

She is only proud of you.

She's not criticizing how you look,

What you are doing,

Etc.

She understands your deep purpose on earth,

The path that you are on.

She fully gets your challenges.

And she is totally and 100% there with you on this journey.

So you can finally let all the defense go down and you can just relax in this space.

Allowing mother earth to embrace you almost as if she's hugging you.

Imagine her hands coming up,

Holding you and you can be the little child.

And notice as you connect with mother earth,

There's also the gold sun that's starting to shine right above you.

And if mother earth is the archetype for divine mother,

The sun is an archetype for divine father energy.

So you've got both your father energy and mother energy and you can be the divine child.

Yes,

The divine child.

So herein,

You have your space to claim,

To ask them for anything and they will give that to you.

And you can let your stress and worries go.

So as you look at your divine father,

The sun,

Ask him,

What would you want?

If you want to feel some ease,

Some joy,

Just tell him that,

That I want a lot of ease and joy and this is getting too hard for me,

So just make it easy.

You are the divine child.

So you can ask,

You don't need to request,

You can ask and ask it as if it's yours,

Claim it.

You are the divine child.

It's your right.

You have a right to be abundant and fulfilled on earth.

So as the earth is taking away your stress and worries and as the sun is showering you with all the love and affection and all the ease and joy that you want,

Make a claim that I am a free being.

And today I'm claiming my freedom.

It's my right.

I'm claiming,

I am claiming my sovereign right to be free,

To live with joy and abundance.

And so it is.

And notice how the earth and the sun are standing behind you,

Really supporting you,

Nodding their head and telling you,

Yes,

This is your space.

This is your right.

So as you were starting to feel a little more relaxed and a little more settled,

A little more in alignment with your freedom,

Now think of your child,

That child that you want to listen to you.

Just think of your child and see your child.

Another picture of them sitting right in front of you.

And notice how they are feeling a lot of things.

Perhaps you're noticing anger,

You're noticing frustration,

You're noticing sadness in your child and multiple other emotions.

And you might notice how the earth wants to go ahead and connect with your child as well.

So just allow that.

Allow the spirit of your child as you say hello to them.

Allow the spirit of your child to also connect with Mother Earth.

Because Gaia holds unconditional love and limitless love for your child as well.

And she wants to heal your child too.

Take away their stress and their worries as well.

And it's not always your job.

So just allow Mother Earth to do this.

She is very good at it.

And frankly,

She enjoys doing this.

This is why she's holding the space for all of us on this planet.

So allow the spirit of your child to connect with Mother Earth.

And slowly you can notice how your child's spirit is also connecting with the Gold Sun.

They have their own unique sun that's shining on them.

There's one on you,

There's one on your child.

And this sun is powered by our sun in the solar system.

This sun is also powered by the North Star.

The North Star is the star that gives us all clarity around our path,

Around our direction,

Where we are supposed to go.

So just allow that light to come into you and to come into your child.

And continue watching the Earth,

The Divine Mother,

As she continues giving you a healing and giving your child a healing.

And breathe.

And tune into your body and just notice what is happening in your body as you look at your child.

As you look at their image in front of you,

Where is it that your body is starting to feel a little different?

Maybe you feel some pain somewhere or some tingling and then that's the spot where you're getting really triggered.

So just tune into that area of your body and ask,

What is happening?

Why am I feeling so triggered by my child?

What is it inside me that is resisting this idea?

What is it inside me that resists this situation?

And then notice how there is another picture of you that seems to pop up.

And this picture is you when you were much younger,

A tinier,

A much smaller,

A much younger version of you.

Just look at this child.

Look at your clothes that you are wearing here.

Look at how is this child part feeling.

Is this child feeling sad?

Or is it angry?

Does it want to talk to you or is it hiding?

And as you look at this child part of you,

You can just go and sit next to it and just be there like a loving parent and just observe.

Because you will begin to tune in to why this child is not feeling really happy.

And ask this child version of you.

Ask what do you want?

I'm really sorry I did not see you for this long.

I'm sorry I did not acknowledge you.

I'm sorry you had to hide.

I'm sorry that I did not tune in to you earlier.

But I am here now and I want to understand you.

What would you like?

What is it that you are seeking?

And notice as your inner child version comes out and tells you something.

Now you might see a symbol,

You might hear some words,

You might get some thoughts.

Just focus on these and you'll get a little bit more guidance.

I'll be quiet for a minute to let you soak in.

So as you understand your child more now,

Now you can.

So as you understand your inner child more now,

You are now getting a much fuller picture of why you feel triggered.

So as you understand your inner child more now,

You can just go closer to your inner child.

Maybe hug them,

Maybe hold their hand,

Wipe their tears.

And then you can tell your inner child that I'm really sorry I did not see you earlier.

I'm sorry you had to hide.

I'm sorry you had to run away.

But I'm here now and you don't need to be in hiding anymore.

Know that I love you.

And regardless of what happened in the past,

Know that I see you.

I validate you.

I believe in you.

And I've got you.

So you don't need to be in hiding anymore.

And from now on,

We will be friends.

And I will always be there for you.

So notice how as you say this,

Your inner child starts feeling much more happier and calmer.

And as you say this,

Notice the earth energy coming up and giving you a very deep healing right where in your body you're feeling stressed.

All of that stress is starting to get washed away as the earth is sending its own healing energy and healing that body part and everywhere else in your space.

So now your inner child's gone.

It's happy and content.

And you can look at your child again.

Your child,

The one that you want to listen to something.

So look at their child.

So now look at your child,

The one that you want to have a conversation with.

The one you want to listen to something.

Look at how your child is also behaving in a certain way because they are wanting to be seen and heard.

Because they are wanting to be valued.

So you can go ahead and tell your child.

Hey,

I'm here.

I'm sorry I don't always fully understand you.

But I'm trying and I thank you for showing me all the growth that I should have.

I'm sorry that you haven't felt seen or heard fully.

And know that I will try.

And I will try to value you as much as I can.

And notice how your child's eyes light up as if this is all that they need.

Notice how your child's spirit instinctively comes closer to you.

Because your child's aching your validation.

Your child's deeply wanting to connect with you.

And so now as you and your child sit much closer to each other.

Look at the situation or this thing that you want to talk about.

Just imagine it pops up in front of you perhaps.

In a bubble form where you can see pictures but you can just see right through it.

And just notice how does this look like?

How does this whole bubble look like with the whole situation?

And maybe you've had so many charged conversations here.

Or maybe there is so much emotion and so much judgment and criticism around this.

That it feels really hard.

It's just hard to see through.

Like it's not a transparent bubble.

But there's just a lot of colors and energy around it.

So just go ahead.

And this is not your job either.

You don't have to take all the responsibility.

Remember you're still the divine child.

And you will continue to be the divine child.

Even after this meditation.

So just connect this bubble to the earth.

And notice how the earth is so happy to connect with the bubble.

And she starts relieving all that negative energy,

The friction,

The arguments,

The drama.

She starts taking all of that away.

Till the bubble starts appearing a lot clearer.

A lot see-through.

So you can actually see what's happening inside.

And then allow the gold sun to come on top as well.

The bubble gets its own gold sun on top.

And the gold sun is shining beautiful gold light onto the bubble.

Just filling the space up.

With ease.

And you want to have a good conversation.

So it's allowing that easy conversation,

Connection,

Joy.

And just look at the bubble.

Look as the entire situation gets a healing.

Whatever it is that you are fighting around so far.

But look how it's just all getting washed.

How it's all getting a healing.

And how the situation is not so charged anymore.

It's starting to get a lot clearer.

And from the gold sun above.

Imagine that there are gold sparkles that are coming into the space.

Really filling it all up with a lot of ease,

Contentment,

Connection.

So you can have a nice good chat.

And you can understand each other.

And so when you feel this is complete and the bubble looks good and healthy to you.

Then you can just send it to source.

So that source can keep it for you in a nice good clean space.

And when you connect with your child.

Then there's a neutral space for you both to talk and connect.

And look at your child's spirit.

You can hug your child.

You can have a conversation with them as well.

Whatever it is you want to tell them about the situation.

Why you want to do something a certain way.

Just talk to them,

Tell them.

Because they are listening to it.

Their spirit is getting it.

And it will get through to them in their body.

And so as you tell your child,

You're part of the story.

Just notice what happens.

It is their free will.

It is what they want to do.

And sometimes they might just want to process the information and think about it.

Let them do that.

And let this beautiful spirit of your child.

The one that's a lot more grounded.

Connected with the earth.

And having its own gold sun.

You can just send it back to your child.

So that they can have a healing in their physical space.

Right where they are they can feel a lot more grounded.

A lot more comforted.

And then look at your own picture.

Your own picture that is connected with the earth.

And with the gold sun and bring that into you.

Noticing how you're starting to feel in the body.

Connect with the earth again if you need to.

Notice how she's so happy with all the work that you've done.

And she's telling you that she's going to hold space for you.

From this point on as you continue on in your journey.

She's always there.

You just need to remember her.

And her connection with you is always there.

Look at the sun.

And he's saying the same thing.

That you formed these incredible bonds.

They were always there.

You just reconnected to them.

And they'll always be there.

They'll always be supporting you on your journey.

So next time when you feel that you want to talk to them.

You can just reach out and say hello to them.

And they'll be right there.

So take a nice deep breath.

Breaking in all the high vibration.

Letting it flow through everywhere in your space.

And take a nice deep exhale.

And then open your eyes.

Thank you for doing this meditation.

This should have you really settled into a nice good place.

And whatever you want to speak.

With your child about.

You can do it now.

Or whenever you feel guided towards it.

But the conversation should get a whole lot easier and simpler.
