Go ahead and find a quiet comfortable place where you can tune in.
Sit or lie down in a relaxed position and close your eyes here.
Taking one deep belly breath here,
Inhaling through your nose and then exhaling through your mouth and continue to breathe deep and steady here as we move throughout this meditation.
But before we go any further,
Take a moment here and offer any words or any prayer or any acknowledgement of a higher power to signify the depth of this meditation and your dedication to living out your fullest potential in this life.
Let's begin.
Begin by visualizing roots growing from the soles of your feet,
Deep into the earth below.
Feel the stability and the support from the ground beneath you and focus on your breath.
With each inhale,
See the roots grow deeper into the soil,
Rooting you,
Anchoring you into this present moment.
And with each exhale,
Let go of any tension or stress.
Deep inhale,
Feeling yourself rooting into the earth.
And with each exhale,
Letting go of any tension,
Any stress.
On your next inhale,
See yourself standing in front of your childhood home.
Take a moment to observe its appearances,
Its surroundings.
Notice any details that stand out to you.
Slowly walk toward the front door and with each step,
Feel a sense of calm,
A sense of assurance.
And when you are ready,
Go ahead and open up the door and step inside.
Walk through the rooms of your childhood home.
Observe the familiar sights,
Sounds,
Smells.
Allow any memories to surface without judgment.
And if at any point this feels like too much,
Take a deep breath and know that you are safe,
Protected,
Guided,
And strong.
As you explore the home,
See yourself as a child appear before you,
Calling forth any younger part of you that carries the burdens of past pain or past trauma.
And notice what this younger part of you looks like and what they are doing.
Gently approach the child and introduce yourself.
Let them know that you are them,
Much older,
A much more mature self.
And reassure them that you are here to help and offer support.
Taking a deep breath here to breathe your heart bigger and loving compassion to this younger part of you.
Begin a conversation with this younger child.
Ask them how they are feeling and if there is anything they want to share with you.
Listen attentively and validate their emotions.
Let them know it's okay to feel whatever they are feeling.
And on your next inhale,
Call in a warm healing light surrounding both of you.
This light is filled with love,
Compassion,
And healing energy.
See the light filling their heart and yours and radiating throughout both of your entire beings,
Wrapping you both in a cocoon of warm healing light you choose the color.
Ask this younger part of you if there is a particular event or time or place that they would like to take you.
A time where they didn't get their needs met.
And you now can be there for them in any way they needed in the past.
Be there in that scene with them.
Offer the love,
Support,
And reassurance that they needed but might not have received in the past.
You could say things like,
I am here for you,
You are safe,
I love you,
You are enough.
Let them know that you can take them to a safe and loving place anywhere in the world.
You can even take them to your current home and show them where you live and what your life is like today.
So when you're both ready,
Take the younger part of you,
This child,
By the hand and tell them that you are taking them to a safe and loving place.
See yourself leading them out of the house into a beautiful safe space that you created for both of you.
As you guide them out of the house,
See your parents and siblings sitting there at the front of the house and let them know that it is time now for this younger part of you to leave this house and come home with you to a safe and loving home.
See yourself walking with the child away from the house and arriving now at the new destination.
Take in your surroundings.
Where are you?
Ask the child what had him choose to go to this place.
Take a moment to allow your senses to take in the environment around you and if it feels right,
Embrace this child feeling the bond and the unity between both of you.
Let them know that they are always welcome and that you will continue to be there for them.
Let them know that it is possible to release any burdens of the past,
Any limiting beliefs that do not serve your highest and greatest good.
All weights of the past can now be released.
Ask the child what natural element that it wants to release these burdens into.
It could be fire,
Water,
Wind or earth.
Go ahead and bring in this element,
Calling it in and see the burdens carried away,
Lifted into this natural element and released from the child's being.
You may see the burdens passed back in time to your ancestors and if so,
Acknowledge your ancestors and pass the burden back to its source,
Knowing that this element can heal the source of these burdens,
Healing the lineage entirely.
Once this feels complete,
Ask the child what characteristics or traits that it wants to call in now to replace these burdens and limiting beliefs of the past.
It could be joy,
Laughter,
Lightness,
Innocence,
Courage,
Playfulness,
Adventure,
Anything that feels right.
Take a moment and invite these traits now,
Bringing them to this younger part of you and see this younger part of you receive these characteristics,
These traits,
Filling their entire body,
Their entire being with joy,
Laughter,
Lightness,
Innocence,
Courage,
Playfulness,
Adventure,
Anything that feels right.
Reassure this part of you that they are now a part of your inner family system and let them know that they are safe and that you will be there with them throughout your entire life,
Providing for them whenever they need care or attention.
Spend as much time here as you wish and before coming back to the present,
Create an agreement here of when to check in with this younger part of you over the next few days or weeks.
Even if it is simply for just one minute,
Letting them know that you'll be back to check in and see how is the integration going.
Taking a deep breath here,
Gradually come back to the present,
Bringing your awareness back to your breath and your physical surroundings.
Place your hands on your body to feel your physical presence and take a moment to look at each corner of the room,
Helping you to arrive fully in the present moment.
Wiggle your toes and your fingers,
Stretch if needed,
And when you are ready,
Take a moment here to reflect.
Spend a few moments here to reflect on your experience in a journal or on a canvas,
Writing down any insights or feelings or images that came up during this meditation.
You can draw the inner child or any of the scenes that feel important or energizing.
What did you realize during this meditation?
What event in your life did you return to?
What burdens or limiting beliefs did you release?
What new traits did you integrate?
What agreement did you make with your inner child and when will you check in on them?
Remember that each of us has a nurturing and loving self and this loving self within is a beacon of guiding light,
Strength,
And love.
It is a courageous source of willpower and guidance,
Helping you to step fully into your power in this life.
This self can heal the past and release burdens that no longer serve your highest and greatest good.
Within you,
You have the to heal.
You have the wisdom.
Within you,
You can heal the past so you can root deeper into the present.
