Start by sitting quietly and become aware of your surroundings.
Locate yourself in space and time.
Feel your back and bottom touching the chair you are sitting in.
Feel your claws on your body.
Hear as many different sounds as you can hear.
Feel the air in the room.
Just for now there is no place you have to go and nothing you have to do.
Just be here and now.
You can close your eyes if you haven't already done so.
Be aware of your breathing.
Feel the air as it comes in and as it goes out.
Be aware of how it feels in your nostrils as you breathe in and as you breathe out.
If you have interrupting thoughts that's ok.
You can notice them as if they were the sentences going across your TV screen.
The important thing is just to notice them.
Just allow them to pass by.
As you continue your breathing you can hold on to your consciousness as much as you want.
Or you can let go in ways that you know which allow you to relax.
You learn to hold on and let go as a child.
And you really know just exactly how much to hold on and how much to let go.
And you can trust yourself to find just exactly what you need for you.
And now you may be feeling a kind of heaviness in your eyelids.
You can just let them close tightly.
You may feel that heaviness in your jaw.
In your arms and hands.
You may feel like you cannot move your hands.
And you may feel like there is a heaviness in your legs and feet.
Like you cannot move your legs.
Or you may feel just the opposite.
Like your whole body is floating.
Like your hands and arms are like feathers.
You really know what you feel,
Heaviness or lightness.
And whatever it is,
It is exactly right for you.
And now you can begin experiencing some childhood memories.
You can remember your first school days.
And your best friend in those days.
You can remember a kind teacher or neighbor.
And you can remember a house you lived in before you went to school.
What color was the house?
Did you live in the city or in the country?
Now you can see some rooms in that house.
Where did you spend your time in that house?
Did you have a special room?
Where was the dinner table?
See who is at the dinner table.
What did it feel like to be at that table?
What did it feel like to live in that house?
Now imagine or remember the house your family lived in when you were born.
Imagine the room where you slept after you were born.
See the beautiful infant you were.
Share your voice as you coo,
Cry,
Laugh.
Now imagine you could hold your cuddly little self.
You are there as a wise and gentle wizard.
You are viewing your own infancy.
Who else is there?
Your mom?
Your dad?
What does it feel like to be born in this house to these people?
Now imagine you are that precious tiny infant looking out at all of this.
Look up at the grown up you.
See yourself as a magical person,
A wizard or just yourself.
Feel the presence of someone who loves you.
Now imagine that grown up you picked you up and held you.
Here him or her tenderly tell you the following affirmations.
Welcome to the world I have been waiting for you.
I am so glad you are here.
I have prepared a special place for you to live.
I like you just the way you are.
I will not leave you no matter what.
Your knees are ok with me.
I will give you all the time you need to get your needs met.
I am so glad you are a boy,
You are a girl.
I want to take care of you and I am prepared to do that.
I like feeding you,
Bathing you,
Changing you and spending time with you.
In all the world there has never been another like you.
God smiled when you were born.
Now let yourself feel whatever you feel when you hear these affirmations.
Let your grown up you put you down.
Here him or her assure you that will never leave you and that from now on will always be available to you.
Become your grown up self again.
Look at your precious little infant self.
Be aware that you have just reclaimed him or her.
Feel the sense of that homecoming.
That little infant is wanted,
Loved and will never be alone again.
Walk out of the truth,
Out of that house and look back as you walk away.
Stroll forward up memory lane.
Walk past your first school.
Walk into your teenage years.
Walk into an early adult memory.
Walk into where you are right now.
Feel your toes and wiggle them.
Feel the energy come up through your legs.
Feel energy in your chest as you take a deep breath and make a noise as you exhale.
Feel the energy in your arms and fingers.
Feel your fingers.
Feel the energy in your shoulders,
Neck and jaw.
Reach your arms,
Feel your face and be fully present.
Be fully restored to your normal waking consciousness.
And now you can slowly open your eyes.
Be fully restored to your normal waking consciousness.
