Before we embark on this journey,

Please take a moment or two to settle in and connect to the moment,

The here and the now.

To connect with the space,

Breathing in and out.

Perhaps you'd like to reach for a blanket or even an extra pillow.

Whatever is going to make you comfortable and safe.

Begin by taking a deep breath in and just let a gentle sigh out of your mouth.

And start to drop into the body.

And just follow your breath into the body going deeper and deeper.

Notice the rhythm and the pace.

And start breathing in presence.

So just feeling into this moment,

Into this breath.

Breathing in love and compassion.

Filling your heart with gratitude.

And breathing out any jitters,

Judgements,

Expectations of outcomes.

Just breathing out to surrender.

You feel safe.

You feel comforted.

Begin tapping in deeper,

Deeper into the ebb and flow of the organic inhales and exhales.

Connect with your heartbeat.

For now,

Imagine yourself going down a winding staircase made of glass.

Descending down into the space of your chest,

You step off the final step.

And here you see a beautiful hall of marble columns and gold floors.

At the very end of this hall is a raised platform in which an altar stands,

An altar of light.

And here on this altar,

You have found your heart.

And now slowly start to proceed towards the heart,

Towards the altar of light.

And when you have arrived,

You see your heart beating,

Vibrating and fueling life into your body.

You notice an armored casing around your heart,

Thick vines intertwined like the weave of a basket,

Grown over time,

Providing protection from heartache.

A mending heart,

Broken by sadness and grief.

That perhaps you did not realize,

Yet your heart remains strong.

You feel an intuitive nudge to look down at your right palm,

And in it appears a unique key glowing in your hand.

You instinctively know exactly what to do with it.

Step forward to your heart and place the key into the fitted slot in between the weaving vines.

Breathe in,

Deep breath,

And as you exhale,

Begin to turn the key.

Watch the armor begin to shrink away and dissolve into the air like a soft mist.

You see your heart now open.

You see the scars and the mens,

Yet it is vibrant and vital.

Pure,

A symbol of love.

You welcome the raw connection and openness to the world,

For you will be back with the missing piece.

For now,

Trust that your heart remains protected,

Even without the armor,

For you are safe.

Breathe in deeply,

Into your belly,

Into the cradle of your hips even,

Anchoring into the loving earth.

Feel her nurturing energy flow through you,

Flow into your heart.

You are safe.

Breathe out and find relief and weightlessness within you as you let go of hesitation and surround yourself with compassion and gratitude.

Breathe in and relax.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Feel the relaxation.

Feel the love.

Just feel your breath.

Remember that if any time emotions want to surface,

Please allow yourself to meet with them.

Guide them to the surface for release and freedom.

Guide them lovingly,

Without resistance and judgment,

For what you feel in any formation they come through.

They are authentically you,

In this moment,

In that breath.

The more you allow yourself to connect and feel,

The closer you become to the very essence of your spirit,

Inviting in emotional liberation and emancipation.

Now come back to that vision of you in the grand hall of your heart,

Marble columns,

Golden floors,

The altar of light.

Standing in front of your heart,

You take in its essence one last time with a breath.

Slowly you begin to turn around and notice a whimsical looking door with beautiful patterns etched in its surface.

This door is so inviting that you begin to walk through the door.

It automatically opens just for you,

So there's no thought involved.

Just walk through.

You find yourself outside,

Somewhere in time,

A location familiar yet still unknown to you at this time.

Yet you feel safe.

You look up at the sky.

What kind of day is it?

What is the weather like?

Are there clouds?

If so,

What is their shape,

Thickness,

Color?

Are there birds or planes in the sky?

Do you hear any sounds?

You close your eyes and allow the environment to soak into your skin and your face,

The breeze subtle and soft grazing your skin and moving gently through your hair.

You feel safe.

You open your eyes and you look around and notice you are standing in the middle of a familiar road.

This road is your childhood street.

You recognize the landmarks and the landscapes.

You feel safe.

You are safe.

You find your gaze directly in front of you and you see it,

The home you grew up in,

The one you remember when you were about five or six years old.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

You are safe.

Notice how you feel as you gaze upon this home.

Feel how you feel and allow it to be felt as you take in the vision.

Begin to step towards the front entryway and take note of any familiar sights and sounds that surround you.

Is it how you remembered?

Now is the weather still the same as when you first arrived or has it shifted and changed?

You get closer to the front door without giving it a label.

Just tune in to how you feel once more.

Where do you notice it in your body?

Check in with your feeling and remember you are safe.

Reach for the front door.

Begin to open mindfully.

Remember you are safe.

You are looking for the you.

The inner child you.

The you that once was innocent and pure in love.

Walk through the home.

You notice it is empty.

As you step in and walk through the hall,

You run your fingers along the walls smelling the aromas of the home once familiar.

Can you picture the layout as you go deeper inside?

Walk around a little longer into each bathroom.

Each bedroom.

See the paint,

The flooring,

The lighting.

Look out the windows.

Remember you are safe.

See yourself exploring this home as a child.

Allow any emotions to pour through without resistance.

Only loving understanding.

And let the emotions come in so you can leave them here.

You do not need to carry them anymore.

Finally,

You find the room that you slept in when you were young.

The room when you were about five or six,

Like I said.

Come back to that feeling of being a child.

And walk through the door frame and step inside.

Step into the middle of the room and see it how it was.

See the place where you slept.

The toys that you loved to play with.

Notice the paint and whatever else you can recall from your room.

You are safe.

You continue to look around and you catch a glimpse of something or someone behind the door.

Someone small.

And as you pull it away,

You see a familiar little face.

Meet your inner child.

The you that is no older than five or six.

See your clothes and notice if you are holding anything.

They look at you with uncertain eyes,

But you look back with love and peaceful invitation.

Crouch down and reach out your hand.

See your innocence in physical form.

Connect hands,

Palms touching,

Fingers wrapped.

And with that,

The ones forgotten you becomes unforgotten.

You gently pull your inner child gently towards you.

And in the warm embrace,

You close your eyes and feel the sobering love and gratitude for this moment.

As you open your eyes,

You notice the scene has now shifted and you are in a beautiful space of nature.

You smile to your inner child and they smile back in admiration.

And you begin to walk together hand in hand along a path that has intuitively cleared just for you.

Take a good look around.

Where have you landed?

What is the scenery like?

In every sight and sound of this beautiful place,

Breathe it in.

Feel the air,

Breathe it in.

Savor the tranquility and richness.

Savor the serenity and overwhelming feeling of love and purity.

Everything is perfect,

Just like you.

As you always were and still are.

Feel the small hand in yours,

The soft gentle grip.

Bring your awareness to the feeling of this thought.

You see something in the distance as you walk along your path and what looks like a quaint little picnic complete with a large picnic blanket.

And all of your favorite childhood snacks,

Drinks,

Toys,

Books,

Everything you once loved and everything you wished for,

All there waiting for you.

With sheer excitement and a joyous spring in your step,

You both run towards your magical oasis.

Be free and make a mess.

Eat as much as you want and play with it all.

Toss it around.

Embrace the child within.

Give in to the experience with no fear of being judged.

With no fear of being punished and no fear of abuse.

No fear of sadness.

No one to tell you no.

Be free.

This is your time to just be 100% the fullest expression of a child you have always wanted to be and more.

You are loved so much.

Breathe in.

Continue to play with your inner child.

Feel her energy vibrating through you.

Feel their energy all around.

Feel their energy within you.

As time goes on,

You slowly start to ease down onto the picnic blanket.

Sit directly across from your inner child and hold their hand.

Gaze into their eyes.

Send bursts of love.

Flood them with all the love in your heart.

Love yourself then and love yourself now.

Tell them with full sincerity and conviction.

Tell them you will be okay.

You are not broken.

It isn't your fault.

You are worthy of every gift of love you are given.

You deserve all the joy and abundance life has to offer.

Tell them you are more than what you were told growing up.

That you are capable of healing and to be brave and strong.

Now allow your inner child to talk to you.

What would they say to you?

Allow them to tell you their fears,

Their upsets,

Their pain and their grief.

It's okay to feel uncomfortable or triggered,

But this is the moment to allow your inner child to speak loudly.

What are they saying to you?

Listen and feel with a loving,

Compassionate heart.

Breathe in.

You are safe.

Breathe out.

Let it go.

Hold your inner child close.

That five-year-old self you,

Cradle them in close.

As you hold her so close,

As you hold him so close,

A veil of golden light cascades down from the sky and softly wraps around you both.

Casing you in a cocoon of divine and loving light,

Offering healing,

Offering compassion.

It sparkles and glows,

Snuggled around you,

Offering comfort and safety.

It dissolves any hurt and pain,

Transcends any sadness.

This light fills you up with whatever you need to piece back together again.

It holds you together,

United and beautiful like the divine being you were born as.

Now recall your heart,

The same one with that armored casing of thick binds intertwined.

See the door to your heart and walk through this door.

Your inner child is with you and you bring them back into your heart.

For this is where they belong,

Back in your heart and not forgotten in time.

You both smile and feel at peace once again,

Young and young at heart.

You are one in the same.

You feel safe.

Breathe in and breathe out.

You feel the emotion.

Breathe.

You feel your body right here and right now.

Deep breath in.

Slow breath out.

You feel the temperature in the room.

Continue to breathe in and out.

Allow the exhale to come slowly out of your mouth.

Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth a few more times.

Release and let go.

Just noticing the space around you.

Noticing the here and the now.

As you slowly come back,

Ground into the earth and connect to your seat.

And when you are ready,

Slowly and gently open your eyes.

Thank you.
