Re-Parenting Yourself: A Mentor Visualization
by Kathryn Fink
The visualization is based on the Tibetan Buddhist practice of bonding with a Buddha or deity in order to purify ourselves and come closer to our innate divine nature. From a Western psychology point of view, this is akin to a reparenting practice, where we tend to our own inner development, elevate our sense of personal potential, and bask in safe connectivity. For the purposes of this practice, the mentor you visualize can be an historical leader, saint, Buddha, deity, or even a fictional character—so long as this is a heroic figure who embodies characteristics you want to cultivate in yourself. This meditation does not require any empowerment. If you feel called to explore this practice more deeply, please seek out lineage holder within Tibetan Buddhism.
