Music Maybe another word.
Welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome.
This is the perfect time to dive deep into healing core wounds.
It's a perfect time because when we are triggered,
That is our indication that we have an opportunity to open up our hearts and our bodies,
Open up the past and confront what has injured us and heal it.
And sometimes this is a situation or a string of situations that happen to us.
Sometimes it's a situation that's happened to our ancestors.
And sometimes it's not something that we can pinpoint.
Perhaps there is no one time that something happened.
Perhaps it's a feeling.
Perhaps it's a belief that no longer serves us,
That roosts in our body like a dark winged crow and sits.
And maybe we don't know where it came from.
And the why and the where is really optional.
We don't need to know exactly where a feeling or belief came from in order for it to be real to us,
In order for us to work on healing it.
And so now I invite you to sit somewhere comfortable.
Maybe it's inside on a cushion.
Maybe it's outside under trees or by an ocean or a lakeside or a river.
And maybe it's on a patio or in the backyard.
Wherever you are sitting is fine.
And it may be that you wish to lie down.
And feel free to do so.
And now let's take a deep breath in through our nose and sigh out through our mouth.
Ah.
And let's do it again,
Letting our breath just trail naturally until it wants to end on its own.
Ah.
And now let's dive down deep,
Deep into our bodies,
Like a swallow dies from a cliff,
Down,
Down,
Down,
To wherever we feel this feeling roosting.
It might be that a memory has come up for you.
And if so,
We can watch it and observe it.
It might be that there is a string of words or thoughts.
It might be that there are some beliefs.
No matter what is present,
Let's just sit with it for a few breaths and observe it.
.
And as we observe what's happening for us,
There might be additional sensations or triggers that come up.
And let's just be with those as well.
They're part of our landscape.
They're part of this fertile ground upon which we stand,
This ground of healing.
And so let's let whatever needs to come up,
Come up.
And there might be emotions,
Maybe tears,
Maybe not.
No matter what is arising,
It's welcome.
And we just broaden our space,
We broaden the container of our breath to hold it all.
And now I invite you to go into a memory or a time where you felt this core wound,
This painful belief.
And notice maybe where you were or who you were with.
Notice the feeling and the texture of it.
Just let it play in front of you like a movie.
And as you do this,
Notice this younger one that is you,
Was you,
Is you.
This young one.
And how she felt,
You felt.
And notice what she wanted.
Notice her needs that went unmet.
Notice what she was afraid of,
What she didn't say and what she said.
Notice how the people around her responded or didn't.
And let's be with this young one.
And now let's be with this young one as if.
We were sitting with a friend on a bench in the park.
We're sitting in the forest together.
And let's take her hand and look at this one who did the very best she could in that situation.
And just ask her what she needs right now.
What does she need to help her?
What can you give her?
And take the time to reassure her.
To let her know that you were there for her.
Maybe even in a way that others were not.
This younger one,
This precious one that was so injured.
And ask her what else she wants to tell you and what else and what else.
So that she knows that you're in relationship with her.
And now ask her if there's one last thing she wants to say for now with you.
And thank her.
And let her know that you will be back.
And once you feel that that is complete.
I invite you to take a couple of deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And hold this space.
And now is you.
The you of you,
Now the adult.
This person right here.
Feel into what you're feeling,
Around what that young one had to say to you.
Now is the time to deal with this core wound.
It is the time to deal with the feelings that arise.
With the emotions that might be coming up.
Now is the time that you've selected to feel this again.
So that you can heal it.
If this situation is a great teacher for you.
What needs to be said or done here.
If this is coming up now because it is the perfect time,
Why now?
What is happening in this time and this place for you that this is to be worked on?
What resources do you have now that maybe you didn't before?
Are there any ancestors that you might want to call in to help you with this healing?
Any rituals that would be a container for this?
Any journaling practices or meditation or magic that would help?
You are choosing to work on this now because now is the time.
Because now you have what you need to do this healing.
This younger one has come up now because she entrusts that you will help her.
And there is no doubt that you will.
And so now feel into anything that still needs to be felt for this moment.
When you are ready you can start moving slightly,
Maybe opening and closing your hands,
Fluttering your eyes,
Moving your legs,
Feeling your chest expand as you breathe.
Know that this is the time.
Know that this is the place.
Know that you are completely equipped to handle what is coming up.
Know that you are not alone.
