Inner Child Meditation

This meditation allows you to connect with and nurture your younger self. Memory by memory you will remember who you were, your dreams, and your favorite things to do as a child. Take a moment with this meditation to listen to what your younger self needed to hear and how your adult self is able to give the support you may have needed before. Nurturing and Embracing your Inner Child can release the baggage you have been holding on to since childhood.

You are seen, heard, and safe here & now.

Transcript

Wherever you are,

Find a comfortable place to begin this practice.

Find your seating,

Whether that is sitting up straight,

Feet flat on the ground,

Or sitting up straight with your legs crossed.

If you want to take a more restorative approach,

Allow yourself to lay down.

Take some moment to yourself to follow through on what your body is calling you to do right now.

Let's take a moment here to breathe together.

Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth letting out an audible sigh.

As always,

I encourage you to take up more space with each breath.

Breathe full and deep.

As you are breathing,

Bring your attention to any tension that is present in your body.

Let's release some of that tension by letting go of the stomach,

Allowing it to be,

Unclenching your jaw,

Letting your tongue hang off the roof of the mouth,

Rolling your shoulders backward and forward,

And slowly rolling your neck towards each direction.

How do you feel right now?

How do you really feel right now?

You deserve to be honest with yourself.

Let's take a moment here to breathe together.

Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth,

Letting out an audible sigh.

What to bring to mind you as a child?

Maybe picturing yourself at five years old,

Seven years old,

Or any other age that stands out to you.

What did you look like at this age?

What was your personality like?

What was your favorite thing to do?

What did your dreams and goals look like at this age?

Memory by memory,

Start to bring to mind you at that age.

Take some time to reflect on what you needed to hear more of and how others could have shown up for you.

Now imagine you as an adult being able to spend some time with your younger self.

What would you like to tell your younger self?

Whatever you decide to tell your younger self,

Know this is the beginning to heal whatever you are dealing with that stems from your childhood.

Sitting with your younger self right now takes awareness because you are seeking how you can nurture your inner child.

So please honor this moment.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Now I want you to ask your younger self what baggage you need to let go of that is no longer yours to carry.

With the assistance of your adult self,

Affirm that whatever is coming up for you is valid.

Whether the feelings were blame,

Guilt,

Embarrassment,

Hurt,

Invalidation,

Or neglect,

Tell your younger self that you are seen and that you are heard.

Release,

Let go.

Surrender to whatever is coming up.

You can let it out now.

It may not have been safe for your younger self to express what you felt,

But you have this moment right here,

Right now to express these feelings.

Do so.

Hold the hands of your younger self and now breathe in and breathe out together.

Take this time to breathe together on your own.

In whatever way you give and receive love.

Take a moment with your younger self to do so.

Maybe give each other a hug.

Kiss them on the forehead or cheek.

High five each other or share affirming messages with each other.

I encourage you all to drink some water or brew a calming tea after this meditation.

We will end with this affirmation.

I am thankful that I am the person I have always wanted and needed to be.

Thank you and take care.
