This meditation is a gentle walkthrough of your life.
Checking in with each version of you.
And giving them what they needed.
Find a comfortable position.
Take 3 slow,
Deep breaths… Feel the weight of your body in the chair and the floor beneath you.
Access your core feeling through your peaceful visualization.
Breathe here for a short time.
Really tuning in to the good feelings.
Now imagine a younger version of yourself,
Perhaps around 3 or 4 years old,
Standing in front of you.
Gently check in.
Notice if any emotions arise in your body as you look at your younger self.
If any feeling comes up.
Just acknowledge it.
Now offer them exactly what they need.
Imagine reaching out and giving them a warm hug.
Or simply sitting beside them.
Say to them.
I am here now.
You are safe.
Notice a color beginning to glow around both of you.
Whatever color comes to mind.
Watch as that little version of you.
.
.
Relaxes into that light.
And let that image soften and bring to mind yourself as a young child in school.
Notice what this version of you is feeling.
Just like before.
Offer your presence.
If it feels right.
Physically wrap your arms around yourself as you visualize this.
Tell this version of you exactly what they need to hear.
See the colors around them.
Blending their story into your strength.
Gently move forward to your preteen or teenage years.
Look at this version of you Notice if there's any lingering tension in your body.
Just acknowledge the feeling that comes to mind.
If a specific memory pops up.
Just notice it without going into it.
Simply tell that version of you something they needed to hear.
Imagine them stepping into your peaceful visualization.
Surrounding them with the feeling of peace and safety.
Continue to move forward through your ages,
Stopping whenever you feel a pull in your body.
For every version of you,
Offer a hand,
A hug,
Or a word of reassurance.
As you move toward your current age,
Imagine all these younger versions of you merging into the person you are today.
You are no longer scattered in the past.
They are tucked safely inside your heart.
Protected by the peace you have built.
Take a deep breath.
And feel the wholeness of your body.
You are not a collection of broken stories.
You are one person standing in the present.
Holding all of your history with kindness.
Feel the strength of being whole.
Spend a minute focusing on your heart.
Watching your chosen color expand with every breath.
Reaching every corner of your life.
From past to present.
When you are ready,
Take one last deep breath of the air in your peaceful place.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
And return to the room.
