Hey it's Cyrus.
Sometimes we struggle to process our emotional pain and wounds or to connect and attach with others because the younger part of us never received that steady consistent emotional connection.
Maybe they weren't attuned to or seen in a way that allows you to feel safe in processing your emotions or in opening up to a connection with others on a deep level.
So let's work today on building a secure connection to that younger version of ourselves so that they can feel safer and more confident to do those things,
To process what they're feeling and to connect to others deeply.
If you feel ready for that,
Go ahead and find a comfortable position either sitting or lying down if you can maintain your alertness.
Whatever your preference is that feels easeful and comfortable.
And go ahead and close your eyes when you feel ready and take a deep slow breath into the nose.
Feel it wash down through the body and let any tension start to roll out as you exhale.
Take another slower deeper breath now.
Breathe all the way down to your toes.
Be very intentional as you track the breath down and intentionally releasing any tension as you exhale.
A little bit slower this time.
And we're going to do one breath hold to really calm everything down.
So take one more slow deep breath.
Fill up the lungs with oxygen and hold at the top and as you hold just concentrate on your body.
And then slowly let the air out of the balloon as you breathe out through the mouth as though you're breathing out through a straw.
Really letting everything settle as you exhale and allowing the breath to return to normal now.
And now connect to the adult part of yourself,
The part of you that feels capable in some small or significant way.
Be aware of something that you've done for yourself or something in your life that you've taken responsibility for no matter if it's big or small.
Just something that connects you to a sense of that capable,
Resourceful adult part of yourself.
Sense where that capacity is in your body.
Where do you feel the sensation of that part of yourself?
And breathe into that feeling.
Allow it to amplify as you become aware of it.
Allow yourself to become infused with a sense of steadiness and capability.
Allow yourself to feel a sense of safety,
A sense of I've got this,
A sense of inner security.
Even if it's not perfect,
Just allow that sensation to grow with the breath.
And now as you settle in and feel grounded in that adult part of yourself,
Begin to be aware of the younger version of you that needs your secure connection.
Whether it's the five-year-old version of you,
The seven-year-old,
The ten-year-old,
Just go to the age in the version of yourself that intuitively needs that connection the most.
Start to see that version of you clearly in your mind's eye and emerge into the space with them so that you can share this space in this moment.
As you approach them,
See if you can connect with them in a way that puts them at ease and let them know that you are the adult older version of them if they don't already seem aware.
And if there is any way to connect with them physically in a way that makes them feel safe and at ease in your presence,
Just go ahead and do that as well,
Making that physical connection that feels good to you and them.
Simply observe for a moment how they respond to your presence,
To your connection.
And don't ask them to be different or to react differently than how they are,
Just see if you can be understanding and open to whatever they bring to you,
To the best of your ability,
Staying grounded in your adult self as you witness them.
And now I invite you to ask them,
What is it that I don't understand about what you're going through or about what you're experiencing or struggling with,
And allow them to speak for themselves and be open to whatever they share with you,
And see if you can be understanding towards and empathize with whatever they shared and just notice how they respond to that understanding and empathy as you offer it genuinely.
And now even if you have some resistance towards this,
If it feels right to you,
Affirm to them that even though they might feel there's evidence to the contrary,
That they are whole and lovable and beautiful as they are.
And really give them a moment and space to receive those words,
Those affirmations on as deep a level they can.
And just notice any emotions that they're hanging on to,
That they seem to want to bring to the surface and process.
Anything that feels safe,
That feels ready to move,
That you feel ready to help feel on their behalf.
Just allow that to rise up and feel it in your body as you help them process it,
If you feel willing and ready to.
If it feels safe,
Just stay tuned into the body and allow the flow of energy and emotion that they might have been holding on to,
To simply pass through without needing to push it down anymore,
Just holding a space of loving awareness as the body feels through any of those old energies.
Even though there might be pain or fear or grief or anger,
Just notice that you can hold those energies in a space of love as they flow through,
A space of allowing that they needed back then,
But didn't get until you're giving that to them now.
Continue to take another moment or two to welcome and embrace any last whispers of emotion that want to make their way through and relish the opportunity to hold that energy in a space of conscious love as it makes its passage through your system.
And now imagine anything that was being held in your system starting to evaporate and lift off out of your body into the hands of a greater energy.
Not thinking,
Just relaxing and being willing to release and let go of anything that was stuck that no longer needs to be stuck.
Noticing how it's enough to witness and feel these feelings and once they've passed through you can start to let them go more and more.
And in the space that you're starting to open up in your body and the body of your younger self,
Start to welcome in a sense of love and indelible lightness and peace.
Welcome those energies to flow in freely and get stronger with every effortless breath.
Not thinking,
Just allowing the colors and textures and patterns of those energies of love and lightness and peace to get stronger and stronger as you joyously welcome them into your system as much as they want to flow in this moment.
And now if it feels right and safe for you and the younger version of you,
You might choose to deepen that physical connection by holding them and allowing them to hold you.
And you might imagine placing your hand on their heart and allowing them to place their hand on yours.
On your heart and feeling that close heart-to-heart connection with your younger self as you hold them and see them in whatever way feels safe and good to both of you.
And as you connect with them in this way,
Focus on letting them feel your attention your attunement,
The deep connection you have with them as you allow yourself to be the steady source of that that they needed at the time.
Focusing on being that for them now as you witness them in this moment.
Notice what they need,
What they want,
How they want to express themselves,
Whether it's just to be held and connected to in a calm and safe space,
Or whether it's to play or to talk or to feel something.
Just stay connected to them and enjoy offering whatever you can to them in that space for a few more moments.
And notice how that younger version of you still lives within you,
Still has an emotional life and perspective within you now.
And notice how as you merge and integrate with that younger version of you as you become one with all versions of you,
That sense of connection that you feel with them that you've intentionally built in your time with them can be felt within your body,
Within your mind and spirit as a deeper sense of security,
Safety,
And self-connection.
And I invite you to rest in that for as long as you intuitively feel called to.
And only when you feel ready,
Let that younger version of you know that you'll be back,
If indeed you will,
To reconnect in this way again.
And bring that sense of deeper self-connection and integration back with you.
Moving back into your present life,
Hopefully with a deeper sense of safety to process anything you're feeling,
To connect with others more deeply and fully,
Knowing that you've built a more secure connection within yourself.
And I invite you to nurture that connection through your life.
Through intentional awareness of that younger version of yourself whenever you notice they're arising within you.
And through revisiting this session if you feel that would be useful to you in cultivating that connection.
I would love to hear your experience if you want to share anything small or significant.
And I thank you for taking this time for yourself today.
I hope you have a magnificent day.
You
