Take a nice deep breath,
Get comfortable,
And allow your body to relax completely.
This is the next to last in this series of meditations.
And in this one you'll be given one more powerful tool to use in your healing.
So give yourself permission to slow down,
To be present in this moment.
And if you have any judgments,
Resistance,
Or fear,
You can let those thoughts go.
And give yourself over to this experience of clearing,
Relaxation,
And surrender.
Breathe.
And notice any sensations you might be having in your feet,
Your ankles.
Just take note of any sensations you might be having in your calves,
In your knees,
Your thighs,
Your hips.
Just keep breathing.
Notice any sensations in your abdomen,
In your heart space.
Feel the muscles letting go in your neck and shoulders.
Letting go of any tightness in your jaw muscles,
Around your eyes.
And now bring your awareness to the space around your body.
Notice any vibration that comes with this breathing.
Imagine you are floating in the vastness of open space.
And in the distance is a pinpoint of light.
You are aware of movement toward this pinpoint of light.
It's slowly growing larger.
And as you get closer to it,
You actually begin to feel warmth emanating from this point of light.
And then on the next inhale,
You are suddenly pulled into that pinpoint of light and find yourself once again at the beach on your tropical island.
This island is your refuge.
It exists just for you and your healing.
You're sitting on the sand.
You can feel the texture between your fingers.
You can smell the fragrance of the salty air.
You hear the sound of the surf breaking on shore.
And then you are aware that your inner child is there with you,
Playing in the sand.
She's looking tanned and healthy.
Take this moment to connect with her.
Invite her to sit on your lap,
To be held by you.
Let her know that you're available to hear her,
If she wants to tell you anything.
Tell her I love you and I will never leave you.
And now your healing goddess has appeared.
She sits cross-legged in the sand close to you.
She takes your hand and the hand of your inner child and the three of you,
Now connected,
Breathe deeply.
And you close your eyes and bring your awareness to your heart,
Knowing it is safe to feel any feelings that come up.
You open your eyes and notice the boat has arrived and there's something different.
Usually it drops anchor,
But this time there is no anchor and the boat is getting tossed around in the surf.
And then you hear the sound of the crowd approaching.
This time they're quite subdued and the only sound that you're aware of is their footsteps.
Your healing goddess nods to you and you stand once again before the people who harmed you or caused you pain.
This is a good moment to check with your inner child.
Is there something that she would like you to do or say or fix with any of the people now in front of you?
If she does have a request,
Let her know that you'll take care of it and invite her to go back to playing,
Creating,
Doing the carefree things that the child does best.
Now this is when you notice a new person in the group.
The person is you,
A mirror image of yourself,
Identical in every detail except one.
Wrapped around her torso is a thick chain with a boat anchor attached to the end.
She is hunched over and clearly in pain.
So you go to your mirror image self and you begin to uncoil that heavy chain from her body.
The chain and anchor fall to the sand with a dull clank and your mirror self breathes a sigh of relief as she slowly straightens up.
And she looks at you and she notices the questioning expression on your face.
And she points to the chain and the anchor and she says,
That is all the negative judgments you have had me carry throughout my life.
Every thought you had,
Every word you spoke that was critical of who I am.
You feel your heart open and a profound compassion as you say,
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Your mirror self smiles.
The color is returning to her cheeks and as she radiates the essence of loving that is at the core of everything,
Everywhere,
She says,
I forgive you.
You are doing the best you could.
Your mirror self takes you into her arms.
In her arms,
You feel a divine grace,
A love you've wanted to feel for a long time.
You can trust the power of this self love to heal you.
So breathe deeply and just feel yourself having this experience of receiving your love,
A love that's been hidden behind judgments you've held about yourself.
Feel love's power to open your body up to new energy and information.
And as you exhale,
Notice any remnants of old energy and information moving out.
And as you breathe in,
Feel the loving energy moving through you,
Releasing all concepts about what your body is,
Allowing you to replace material definitions of who you are with a vision of love's energy.
Your healing goddess is with you so you can surrender all connection to the material.
Breathe,
Keep your attention on each breath,
Feel the movement of healing energy coming in,
Moving through,
And then flowing out.
With each breath,
Feel the expansion of space in your lungs,
And then picture that space opening up within the tissue and muscle and bones and magnificent organs that give you life.
Feel the space opening up within each molecule and cell,
Within each atom.
Keeping your awareness in this space and the energy moving through it,
Notice how this energy extends throughout infinite space.
This is the loving energy that created you and continues to create you.
Notice the vibration of this energy and feel it synchronize with the energy moving through your healing goddess,
Your inner child,
And this aspect of you that is forgiving and that is always available to help you love yourself unconditionally.
And now,
From this energetic,
Loving realm of presence,
I want you to state your clear intention.
What do you want?
And then I want you to step into that future right now.
You've arrived.
You have manifested that intention.
It has happened.
So what is it like?
Describe it.
Every delicious detail.
Every color.
Every texture.
Every fragrance.
Every sound.
Every smell.
Every smell.
And how does it feel?
How does it feel to be free?
How does it feel to be free?
How does it feel to be free?
Now,
Feel the gratitude.
Your expression of gratitude is a signal to your body that you have gotten out of the way and your body is now free to do what it does best.
Feel that?
Feel that?
And now,
I want you to bring your awareness back to your tropical island.
Your healing goddess sits before you,
Looking into your eyes.
I want you to give her your healing intention.
Every beautiful detail.
Your feelings.
Your gratitude.
And as you do,
Say the words,
This or something better.
Now,
You can slowly begin to return to this reality knowing you were loved and cared for.
Knowing you were powerful.
Knowing you have begun to restore your health.
And when you are ready,
You can open your eyes.
Thank you.
