I invite you to close your eyes and sink into the presence of your body.
Allow yourself to focus on your breath,
Guiding you to a place of depth,
Relaxation,
And wisdom.
Consider the concept of your inner father,
An embodiment of wisdom,
Strength,
And guidance within you.
This man transcends traditional notions of masculinity,
Embodying qualities such as wisdom,
Compassion,
Courage,
Clarity,
And certainty.
Your inner father is a source of unconditional love and support,
Always there to hold you with gentleness,
Infinite compassion,
Discernment,
And keen understanding.
He believes in you unconditionally,
Offers grounded advice,
And knows how best to move forward even during the most challenging of times.
This inner father is fearless in his commitment to your well-being,
And is always ready to guide you towards your highest potential.
Recognize that he always has been a part of you,
Waiting to connect more deeply.
Now let's embark on a journey to meet your inner father.
Take a deep breath,
And as you exhale,
Allow your mind to travel to a field where you can see far out along the horizon.
This could be a field that you know well,
Or one that you envision here for the first time.
In this space,
Let your senses come alive.
Observe the surroundings,
Noting every color,
Sound,
And texture.
Allow the details of this place to be vivid in your mind.
As you explore this space,
Call out to your inner father,
And ask him to come forth,
Emerging from the depth of your vision,
And with each breath,
Draw him closer.
As you hear footsteps approaching,
Begin to see this man emerge before you.
As your inner father approaches,
His presence radiates warmth,
Strength,
Nurturing guidance.
As he nears,
Observe what does he look like?
What qualities stand out about your inner father?
What does it feel like to be in his presence?
Take a moment here to witness your inner father.
Sometimes he may emerge as a symbol.
Other times he'll emerge with different dress or appearance.
Each time,
He carries a new message to help guide you deeper.
This is your inner guide,
Your mentor.
Welcome him.
Feel the energy that surrounds him.
Recognizing the deep connection you've always shared,
Now brought into conscious awareness.
Find a tranquil spot within this place to converse,
Whether you sit,
Walk,
Or simply enjoy the view together.
Take the most of this moment to engage in a meaningful dialogue.
Ask questions you feel drawn to and listen intently to his wisdom.
What guidance do you have for me at this moment?
What should I concentrate on?
What are your hopes for me?
What reminders do you have for me?
Where am I limiting myself?
What should I focus on?
What should I focus on?
Where am I limiting myself?
What must I accept to move forward?
What should I understand about our connection?
How can I easily access your wisdom and strength?
Is there a special name I should call you?
Notice that he has a gift for you in his hand.
Accept it and inquire about its significance.
Notice if there is a place in your body that wants to receive this gift.
And if so,
Allow the gift to live in this place in this body.
Placing your hand on this location,
Take a deep breath,
Knowing that you can do this at any time,
Calling upon the wisdom and strength that you feel now,
Even during moments of personal challenge.
Before you return,
Take a moment and see if you can switch places,
Becoming the inner father observing yourself.
From this perspective,
Notice the change in the way you hold your body.
Deepen your breath.
Stand firm in your power.
Soften into your heart.
Knowing that the most courageous journey we can take is the 18 inches from our heads to our hearts.
And from this perspective,
Notice the man you see before you.
Take a moment to observe him,
Sending him strength,
Love,
And wisdom.
Then,
When you're ready,
Return to your original perspective,
Observing the inner father.
It is now time to return.
As your meeting concludes,
Express gratitude toward your inner father,
Knowing this connection remains available whenever needed.
Your inner father is a constant support,
Guiding you towards fulfilling your purpose.
Now take a deep breath,
Absorbing the essence of this encounter.
With another breath,
Begin to return to the present.
One more deep breath.
And then,
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Stretch,
Move slightly,
And reacquaint yourself with your surroundings.
Before returning to your day,
Take a moment to either journal or sketch out what you learned through this encounter.
It is essential that we reflect during moments like this,
Externalizing our inner awareness,
Making the invisible visible,
Turning insight into action.
Consider this.
What did you learn from your inner father?
What did you feel when embodying your inner father?
What small step can you take today to integrate the wisdom you gained?
