Get into a comfortable position sitting or lying down.
Allow your eyes to close.
Enjoy several deep breaths.
Breathe in slowly.
Feel your abdomen expand.
Pause and exhale even slower letting go.
Take a few more deep breaths.
Breathe in.
Exhale slowly and another deep breath in.
Exhale let go completely.
Follow your natural breath in and out now letting go and become calmer and calmer.
Relax and soften.
Now imagine you're entering into your dream haven sanctuary.
The place you've created in your mind's eye that is wondrous,
Safe and where your dreams flourish.
You're walking in your sanctuary.
Notice all the beauty,
The light,
The sounds around you,
Your inner presence.
Notice how you feel.
Step by step you go deeper into your dream sanctuary and in the distance you see a bench and on that bench you see a young child sitting and next to the child you see an older person.
Notice these two sitting peacefully,
Happily next to each other.
The young child and the older person.
See how they interact.
What are they doing?
And as you move closer and closer to the bench you realize the child is the younger version of yourself and the older person is you in the future.
What do they look like?
What are they wearing?
See their faces as they look back at you smiling with warmth,
Peace and happiness.
Imagine as you observe your inner child this young version of yourself as they are happy and content in this moment.
You feel a sense of warmth,
Love and compassion for your inner child.
Feel your heart connect to your inner child and look at the older version of yourself and imagine they are in their best state of being.
Happy,
Content,
Warmly gazing back at you with a smile and feel a sense of relief and joy that the older version of you is in such good spirits.
And now imagine that you are the ideal and loving parent to your own inner child knowing they have a range of emotions ups and downs from moment to moment and you allow and accept them to be as they are saying to them and yourself now I accept myself as I am.
Repeat this affirmation silently or out loud to yourself I accept myself as I am.
I accept myself as I am and now look to your older self sitting on that bench feel the grace the wisdom and the ideal manifestation of all you dreamed you would become in them.
Feel the sense of joy as you say to them and yourself I accept myself as I am.
I accept myself as I am.
Feel a deep sense of complete acceptance toward your inner child your future self and your present self as you say to yourself I accept myself as I am.
I accept myself as I am.
Now gazing toward your inner child and future self sitting there on the bench smiling back at you say goodbye to them maybe even envision yourself hugging them and then turning and walking into your dream sanctuary feeling totally and completely accepting of yourself past present and future saying to yourself I accept myself as I am.
Now returning to your breath breathing in and out notice where you're seated or lying down becoming aware of the room that you're in and when you're ready gently open your eyes.
