This exercise is to help you find peace in a troubled relationship. It uses the symbology of a small troubled child who understands the problem and its solution. This child can connect with a similar child in the person you have lost your peace with and bring about understanding and healing in the relationship.
So if you'd like to relax and close your eyes and take a few deep breaths and then take one big deep breath and tense all the muscles in the body make fists of the hands and relax and imagine yourself surrounded a beautiful bubble of light only the highest good can come through and into that beautiful bubble you invite your guides whatever words you want to use as beings that love and care for you and have no judgment of you they are happy and joyful to be with you and work with your healing they love to be invited you what you can see is a light shining down upon you warm blanket that's wrapped around you now you may know someone that you want to forgive immediately if you're not sure you could turn to your guides now and said please show me someone where i'm still not at peace i may have tried to forgive them before but they're still there nobody comes you can choose someone you don't like alive or dead and to make it real you could bring back a situation perhaps recent or further back where you lost your peace with this person as you make it real you begin to feel it somewhere in the body some tension some disturbance maybe even a physical pain as it becomes more real you'll feel it stronger in the body and you can put an accepting hand there if it's convenient i accept you i welcome you i allow you to be there and i feel you you don't have to change i accept you you're my teacher and we can forget the other person now they're only reminding you of something unhealed in you and you can feel it now i welcome you i allow you i feel you and you can feel how big it is look how big it is where does it start and stop what shape is it how deep does it go into the body does it have a color and the texture does it feel hard or soft or something else ask it how it's feeling imagine it's like a little child this stressed child inside you you found this child you accept it you ask how you feel it just listen to it let it speak to you and let it know you accept whatever it says there is no sin here just an error a mistake you hold the child's hand as you listen or pick it up and put against your heart as you keep listening to his pain his anger his sadness you say that's all right but it's all right to feel that now the person that you've been upset with appears in front of you and the child can see that person but now that person turns into a child and perhaps for the first time you see his pain why acts like it does says what it does it's also an upset child see if you can hear what it has to say about it's upset there's now two children in pain put your child down and let it go over to the other child let them be together they understand each other's pain now perhaps they can embrace perhaps they can listen to each other perhaps if one was crying the other one can dry the tears let them say to each other you are my teacher thank you you're showing me unhealed things in myself and now i've just let them be together maybe they part maybe they play maybe there's a hug maybe they smile knowing now what it's all about now look into yourself how do you feel are you more at peace if you are then forgiveness has happened thank both children and when you're ready in your own time bring yourself back to the room
