Hi,
This is Morgan and today we're going to talk about how to figure out what you want and how to live a life that you actually love.
And the quickest way I've found to do that is to get in touch with my inner child.
So that's exactly what we're going to do today.
So I want you to get into a comfortable seat or a laying down position.
Somewhere where you can close your eyes and allow your body to simply breathe.
Without needing to do anything else.
Just notice that you are breathing.
You're intaking energy as you inhale.
You're releasing energy as you exhale.
And allow yourself simply to notice.
That physical sensation.
Of breathing in.
And breathing out.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Breathing in.
Breathing out and you can repeat to yourself in your head.
Think the words,
I am breathing in.
I am breathing out.
And as your body continues to relax into the sensation,
Of breathing.
Turn your attention.
To the space around your heart.
We all have many secret caves and caverns in our hearts.
Right now just notice the sensations that surround your ribcage,
That beautifully protective space protecting the sweetness of your heart and now visualize yourself.
Walking up to the entrance of a cave.
Allow it to look like whatever it looks like and notice how your heart feels at this entrance You don't have to give words to the feelings,
But notice any sensation around your heart.
As you're looking into the abyss of this cave.
And allow those sensations to be there.
And walk into that entrance.
And notice what you see.
If anything.
Now in this cave lives your inner child.
A version of you that existed before the age of seven.
Before you forgot who you were.
Keep walking through the cave until you find her.
And when you find her,
Notice.
What position is she in?
Is she curled up like a ball?
Is she standing in defiance?
Is she happy to see you?
Is she running into your arms?
She's been waiting for you.
Say hello to her.
Tell her you've missed her.
And tell her you're ready to listen to her.
Ask her what she needs.
And now you're going to give that to her.
Today.
Whatever it is she needs.
Within reason.
But allow her imagination to take flight.
And tell her if she needs something that you cannot give her today.
That you will work on being able to give it to her in the future.
Because you're an adult.
And you get to give yourself what you want.
The hard part is knowing what you want.
Because so often our life is filled with giving other people what they want.
And ignoring your own needs and desires.
But today.
Today you get to give your inner child exactly what she wants.
And if that means you're going to go chase butterflies or you're going to go get some ice cream or you're going to go frolic in the woods or you're going to curl up and read a book or you're gonna go out dancing.
Or you're gonna play games or you're gonna create whatever art she wanted to create.
Go do that.
Go do that right now.
And tell me how it goes.
And whenever you aren't sure what to do next.
You can always come back to this meditation.
And eventually you'll learn how to have that conversation yourself.
Asking your inner child over and over again.
What do you want?
What do you want to do today?
Because the only thing children know how to do is to seek joy and comfort.
And you and your adult self.
Deserve joy and comfort.
And you are now in control of giving yourself joy and comfort.
