As empaths, when we were children, we often did not receive the love, nourishment and support that we needed in order to thrive. Often, this lack of emotional nourishment is still playing a strong role in our lives today. This guided practice is to help you connect to your inner child, develop a relationship with them and begin to really nurture that relationship. It will help you begin to tune into what the child version of yourself really needs, and make a big impact on your current life.

Hello dear one,

You are an empath,

You are gifted,

And you are beautiful.

Many times empaths as children we did not receive the love and nourishment and support that we needed.

This journey is to connect with your inner child today so that you may grow your relationship with him or her,

Love them unconditionally,

Give them the support that they really need.

I invite you to close your eyes and sit in a comfortable position with your spine erect and your chin tucked in ever so slightly.

Start to settle into your body and begin to extend your breath,

Tuning out any noise from your day,

Your week,

Your month,

Or your year.

Begin to feel your body melting into the ground below you,

The surface below you.

We'll breathe in for four breaths and breathe out for five.

So breathing in,

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold it.

One,

Two,

Three.

And breathe out for five.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five.

Breathing in again for four breaths.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Holding.

One,

Two,

Three.

And breathing out now for five breaths.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five.

Now just take a deep breath in,

Let out a big sigh,

Letting any tension,

Any tightness,

Any frustration,

Stuck emotions just melt right out of you.

I invite you to imagine yourself in the middle of a mystical forest.

This is like a dreamland for you.

It's very lush.

It's very green.

The growth is old.

The trees are ancient.

There's not another soul around.

And you can begin to tune into the energy of the fairies around you.

Just flying around,

Buzzing around,

Being playful,

Giving blessings to the land.

Many of us believed in fairies as children,

But let go of that relationship as we aged.

But just for today,

Tune into that energy.

Notice what they look like,

What they feel like,

How their energy makes you feel.

You see a mirror off in the distance and you approach it.

It's 20 feet away.

And as you get closer,

It's 10 feet away now.

And now you're right in front of that mirror.

When you arrive to that mirror,

You stand in front of it.

And in the reflection is a younger version of you,

A child version of you.

You're seven years older,

Younger.

How old are you?

What are you wearing?

What's your haircut at that time?

Look deep into that child's eyes and how is he or she feeling?

Begin to connect with that child.

Ask them questions.

What do they need for support that was missing at that time of their lives?

Did they need someone to play with them,

To be a stable figure?

Did they need someone just to tell them that they're wonderful and gifted and incredible?

Ask and listen.

Sometimes you can ask them,

What do they want from you right now?

How can you make them feel really loved?

Sometimes our inner child,

If we've forgotten about them for a long time,

They don't really answer right away.

And if yours is not answering,

That's okay.

Just be with them.

Be a presence.

Be love.

Be light for that little child because you have learned a lot since then.

And you're in a place now that you can start to really help him or her.

How can you love that child more?

Honor that child more and provide the best support possible.

Ask and listen.

Use your intuition.

Let your inner child know that you're here now,

That you love them so much.

That they're beautiful and strong and smart and can achieve anything that they want in this life.

Let them know you're here.

You're not going anywhere and that you're going to continue to nurture this relationship every day.

Now you can give that inner child some love and affection,

Whether it's a hug,

Holding hands.

Have them sit on your lap and stroke their hair,

Whatever feels comfortable and whatever feels right.

Let them know that you have to leave now,

That you can be called upon at any time or any need,

Any request,

Any affection that they might need.

Thank your inner child for being present with you today.

And slowly begin to retreat from the forest.

Say goodbye to your inner child,

Thanking the fairies for their beautiful energy,

That playful vibrance that they exude.

You exit the forest now.

And begin to tune back into your body in the present moment.

Wiggling just a little bit.

Stretching if need be.

And opening your eyes whenever you're ready.

The connection that you've just made with this inner child is so potent and powerful.

This connection can be so healing for much of what you're experiencing in your current life.

This child can teach you so much.

And you can teach him or her so much as well.

Thank you so much for your presence today.

May love and light be with you always.
