Meet Your Protector

Travel to the depths of your being to meet your protector, and understand why they are unintentionally holding you back from moving forward in your life. Your protector emerged in childhood to help you cope, but now their 'protection' may be getting in the way of your progress. Develop a connection to form the basis of healing.

Transcript

In this practice,

You will meet your internal protector,

The part of you whose sole purpose is to keep you safe.

Sometimes the protection they offer is helpful and nurturing,

And other times this protection is keeping you stuck.

Most protectors were established in childhood and have not changed their approach much since then.

As you commence this healing session,

It will be helpful to consider how you feel stuck or blocked in a particular area of your life.

Perhaps you feel as though you're trapped in a cycle of self-sabotage or can't break free from a particular pattern,

Habit or behaviour.

Bring this to mind to work on during this practice,

And setting your intention to gain a deeper insight into this issue so that it may be resolved.

Taking some slow,

Deep breaths to connect in with your body.

Letting go of any thoughts or awareness of the world around you,

And feel yourself moving inward.

With each breath,

Your consciousness moves deeper and deeper down inside yourself.

Feeling your conscious awareness slowly drifting down into the depths of your being.

Letting go of any thoughts or awareness of the world around you.

Your protector resides deep down at your core.

You will meet them soon.

Your protector may resemble a version of you,

Your inner child or may appear as a light being or another type of figure.

They may not be the same gender as you or even look like you.

Some protectors can appear big and scary,

While others appear young and innocent.

Just whatever is presented to you is exactly what you are meant to see.

Drifting deeper down.

Living at the place where you will meet your protector today.

It is dark here,

But there is no need to be afraid.

You are simply getting to know a part of yourself that you don't often visit.

Before you,

You see a wooden door,

And as you approach it,

You know that you will meet your protector on the other side.

Reconnecting with the intention that you set earlier to gain a deeper understanding about this part of you.

And bringing to mind the ways in which you feel your protector is keeping you stuck.

Opening the door when you are ready and allowing your protector to reveal themselves to you.

Telling in all the details of what you see and feel.

Telling your protector that you are here as your mature adult self to find out more about how you operate.

You don't mean them any harm or intend to threaten them or change them in any way.

You just want to talk.

Some protectors are initially unwilling to talk,

Or they make themselves look big and scary to try and frighten you away.

Offering unconditional love and compassion to this part of you and reminding them that you will not be asking them to change unless they want to.

You just want to understand them more and to get to know them.

If your protector is willing to continue,

Inviting them to sit with you and answer some questions.

Refrain from responding right now.

Using this time to inquire and listen.

Thinking how do you protect me?

How do you protect me?

What are you afraid of?

What are you afraid of?

Why would it be bad if you didn't protect me?

Why would it be bad if you didn't protect me?

Why would it be bad if you didn't protect me?

What age did I create you?

What was happening for me at this age that prompted me to seek your protection?

Why would it be bad if you didn't protect me?

Why would it be bad if you didn't protect me?

Why would it be bad if you didn't protect me?

What do you want and need?

What would you like me to know?

Telling your protector how grateful you are for their support and commitment to you over the years.

And asking them if there's anything that they could do to help you with the challenges that you're facing now.

Would your protector be willing to change their focus?

Or to add to their list of responsibilities to assist you in ways that will make a real difference to you now?

Take some time to inquire,

Chat and negotiate with love on how you might proceed together.

Accepting this part of you with love and compassion.

Saying goodbye to your protector for now,

With love and gratitude in your heart.

For this part of you who has been fighting for you for so long.

You can revisit your protector anytime to develop your relationship further and continue to support one another.

For now,

Feel yourself coming back into your body.

Your consciousness returns to your mind space.

Taking some awakening breaths.

And making some movements.

Coming gently back.

Opening your eyes when you're ready.

And returning to your day.

Thank you for watching!

Reviews

This journey into my inner self was great, absolutely great 🙏☺️.
An important (probably more rhetorical...) question remains whether we will ever extend this protection to REAL people who then themselves have difficulties (private or even therapeutic 😉) in dissolving this relationship, which at some point is simply no longer "helpful" FOR BOTH ….
Thank you, Naomi, for this truly deep and enriching meditation 💛💚

Really profound insights, thank you. Beautiful pacing, you gave plenty of time to talk with my protector, it was perfect. Many blessings to you 💗x

Every meditation is beautiful 🙏They are my favorite on whole app! Thank you for your gentle compassionate work!

Beautiful.

Great!

Thank you Naomi 🙏🦋🌈❤️‍🩹🙏

I initially saw my protector as an adult then as the meditation went along 2 other versions came along with more 2 of them emerging with one theme and 1 another, these are some of the 2 biggest blocks in my life. There seems to be an element of inner child and shadow work here which I need to further heal and intergrate. Thank you Naomi for your insightful and healing ❤️‍🩹 meditation 🧘‍♀️

I thought this was perfect for building self-trust.

Thank you, Naomi. Powerful. Really well paced with space to do the work. A nice addition to IFS stuff I already use. I am glad to have found your other work on here too 🙏🏽🌸

Wonderful! Met my childhood protector guide, and things from that part of my life make more sense. Thank you 😊 Namaste 🙏🏼

Amazing! Thank you.

A really powerful and affirming experience - thank you ❤️🙏🏼

My protector would not be still jumped around so much. I will try again another time.
