How would it feel to go back to a time before you were born and knew nothing about the world? In this practice, we return to a place of peace, silence and serenity. A place where we feel completely safe and secure.

Welcome to the return to innocence meditation.

This meditation will allow you to come back to a place before you've ever experienced any pain,

Any worries,

Done anything wrong,

Had any guilt,

Shame,

Fear or anything negative ever happened to you,

A place of complete peace,

Freedom,

Purity and light,

Where you are safe and secure,

Back in your original home.

To begin,

Let's just start with a few beautiful deep gentle breaths.

Really enjoying that breath,

Deep,

Deep breaths of peace.

And as you breathe,

Just becoming aware of your body,

Aware of the sensations of the body,

Noticing how warm or cold it is right now.

Being aware of the sounds around you,

The sounds of this meditation,

Noticing what you see.

And take a moment to just go above your body as if you're looking down on your life from a distance.

So flying up,

Up,

Up,

Away from your body,

Away from your life,

As if you're above in the clouds looking down.

Like you're flying up on a plane and the whole world is far,

Far below,

You're safe,

Relaxed and secure.

And just seeing your timeline,

The whole of your life from this moment backwards,

Backwards,

Backwards throughout time,

Like a line of time,

A timeline,

Going all the way back.

And just following your life backwards,

Back into the past.

And as you go backwards in time,

All the events of your life start to fade into peace because they haven't happened yet.

And you feel lighter and lighter.

The further you go back,

The lighter you feel.

As you go back in time,

Layers of worries,

Stress,

Anxiety fade away as if you're dropping baggage getting closer and closer to peace.

Just flying back in towards the light,

Towards the source,

Towards the beginning.

And just notice that feeling of peace as you fly towards the source,

Towards the beginning.

And keep going until you get to the very beginning before you came onto this world,

Going all the way back beyond time before you were born,

Before you were ever here on this planet.

And as you go all the way back,

You enter into a world of light,

A world of peace,

Where you are completely free,

Just floating in peace.

You've never had anything happen to you,

You've never done anything wrong,

You are completely pure,

Innocent and free.

Free peace.

Just notice how wonderful it feels to be completely free,

Completely free,

Innocent.

You don't know about anything,

You're just shining,

Shining forever.

Back in your sweet home of constant peace,

Shining,

Shining forever.

My thoughts are展ed.

And just notice how beautiful it feels to be completely free beyond time and space,

Absolute innocence and peace.

No worries,

No burdens,

No regrets,

Nothing except peace and freedom,

Constant peace and constant freedom.

And when you're ready,

You can bring that sense of complete freedom back here,

Back down into the body,

Bringing that innocence as if you've just arrived here on this planet for the first time.

And it's a wonder,

A wonder to be here.

Smiling at the wonder of being completely free coming from your world of light down here.

And remember that you can bring your attention back into that beautiful light of peace,

Back home whenever you'd like in a second to see yourself in that golden light,

Totally beyond everything in the land of peace,

The land of nirvana.

And then bring your attention back into the body just like you're a guest who comes to your guest house,

The body,

And then you go back to your real home.

And you come back into this vessel of the body.

You can come and you can go whenever you choose.

You are pure,

You are free,

And everything is exactly the way it's meant to be in this wonderful game of life.

So thank you for being here.

Have a beautiful rest of your day and many,

Many blessings.

This was challenging for me, since I am pretty frightened of anything like freedom. But this have me a way to experiment with what freedom might feel like. I suspect I will benefit from this meditation many more times.

This moved me to tears twice. For joy when I was transported to that place of innocence but for sadness when I returned. But I very much appreciate the journey. Thank you and Namaste.
