Hey,
It's Cyrus.
If you feel like you don't deserve to receive love on a deep,
Felt level from others,
It might be because there's a part of you that feels small or inadequate or broken or unworthy in some way.
But in order to truly fill our tank and give love freely to others,
We have to be able to receive it.
And to do that,
We're going to heal that part of ourselves that feels unworthy of receiving it.
So if that sounds like a process that would really expand things for you,
Go ahead and eliminate any distractions.
Find a comfortable position and close your eyes when you feel ready.
Take a deep,
Slow breath in through the nose and exhale out through the mouth nice and easy,
Letting yourself land in a gentle place as you relax your muscles a little bit.
Let's do one more rich,
Nourishing breath as you breathe all the way down through your belly and towards your toes and let it roll out nice and slow and easy,
Letting your muscles effortlessly relax as you do.
And now be aware of your feet touching the ground and your hands comfortably resting wherever they are.
And take a moment to get in touch with a sense of gratitude for your aliveness,
For whatever you're naturally aware of that you feel grateful for.
And start to welcome in that sense of gratitude into your body.
Let it flow in and fill your cup and tickle you in a gentle way as it grounds you effortlessly in this moment.
Allow that sense of gratitude to expand and deepen,
To really bring you deeply into the here and now,
To allow everything else to flow into the background.
And now if you feel ready and safe,
We're going to start to get in touch with that part of you that feels unworthy or small or inferior or inadequate or whatever words resonate with you in that constellation of characteristics that embody that part of you that is all too familiar to the human condition.
But we're going to do it in a way where we maintain separation.
So if it feels safe,
Imagine visiting that part of you as if it were a younger child,
An inner child version of you,
And you're visiting it from the perspective of your current adult self.
So be very clear about seeing out through your current eyes as you view whatever version of that younger self materializes.
And just notice how you feel towards this version,
This part of yourself.
Perhaps there's warmth,
Perhaps there's disdain or a desire to push them away,
But just notice whatever initial gut reaction you have towards them without judging that reaction too much.
And whatever the case may be,
Just allow that to pass and fade a little bit now and start to try to understand,
Understand why this younger version of you felt closed down or small,
Unworthy or inadequate.
Don't get lost in their experiences or their stories,
Just understand compassionately as a clear witness in this moment.
And if that sense of understanding leads to a sense of warmth or closeness or compassion towards that part of you,
Just allow that warmth to deepen and amplify now,
Really embracing that part of you through that deeper understanding.
Notice what it's like to let go of any old feelings of treating this part of you like a burden or something you have to bury away in a shameful way.
Instead,
Flip the script in this moment and experiment.
Notice what happens when you hold them and welcome them and love them as deeply and unconditionally as possible,
Just as they are,
Even with the feelings that they might be feeling.
If there's any emotions that you notice flowing in your body and it feels safe to feel them on behalf of that younger part of you and you sense you can maintain a witnessing awareness of that flow of emotional energy,
Feel free to let it flow through and hold it and welcome it as part of the healing process.
Notice what happens when you don't try to push away or change or fix that part of you but instead just love them,
Just welcome them,
Not as something that singularly defines you but just a part of you.
That went through experiences,
That felt certain ways,
That formed certain beliefs,
That no longer need to define you but you can welcome that part and its feelings nonetheless with a sense of love in this moment.
Notice any ease,
Any lightness,
Any sense of wholeness that arises effortlessly as a consequence of allowing that part of you to sit within your system without it dominating things or defining things but also without pushing it away,
Just holding it like an inner child.
In a state of love and feel free to invite in any parts of you that might have arisen as a result,
As a reaction to this part of you.
Maybe a part of you that acts as a protector or one that has a superiority complex or armors you against appreciation or love that it fears might be insincere or that it doesn't deserve that warmth from the outside.
And allow any of those protector parts to see that that younger version of you who was wounded and hurt is a little bit more healed and loved within you,
By you.
And notice how those protector parts react to the revelation of that inner love.
And if they feel safe,
Allow those protector parts to relax their burden,
Their role as much as they feel ready to,
To let go of any pressures or any armor that's no longer serving you.
And feel the pleasant evaporation of some of those defense mechanisms relaxing out of the body now.
Notice how it feels to have less pressure behind any inadequacy or inferiority and less stagnation around any superiority or defense.
Notice how it feels to begin to open yourself up to a natural human sense of being equal at a fundamental level with all others.
And with that sense of equality and non-defense,
Just imagine yourself opening up to receive love,
To welcome it freely from others,
To drink it in freely as it's offered to you in whatever forms feel good to you.
As those younger parts begin to heal and update into the present moment,
Notice how easy and intuitive it becomes to welcome and receive love with eager open arms.
Whether in the form of affectionate touch or words of affirmation or acts of service or warm eye contact and body language and connection,
Imagine how it feels to fully be open to receiving love,
To let it all the way in.
Imagine it filling your tank,
Filling your spirit and your heart to the brim so that you're overflowing with a sense of easy,
Full love.
Allow and notice it flowing freely through your body now.
And notice any natural instinct you might have to give it freely to others or to create or produce things out of that overflowing love,
To amplify it further in the world.
And notice how the more you receive,
The more you give,
And the more you receive,
And the more you give,
The more you receive.
The energy channels more and more safely open and freely flowing.
And really feel yourself deepening it on a somatic,
Physical level as you feel yourself softening into the gentle,
Subtle openness of receptivity and effortless offering of warmth and lovingness.
Like it's the most natural,
Effortless thing.
On the deepest levels that could ever be possible.
Feeling and sensing that.
If it feels good,
I invite you to set an intention to bring this receptivity to love and this willingness to give it freely in return back with you.
Into your life now.
And if you wish to practice this,
I invite you to repeat this session once a week or so until these energies are effortlessly reconditioned within you.
And once you have the hang of it,
You can simply practice this process of welcoming and unconditionally loving those hurt or small feeling parts of you.
Then allowing the protectors to relax and lower their guard to the extent it feels safe.
And finally opening up to a sense of natural equalness from which you can receive and give love on an easy,
Intuitive level that you can feel and sense.
Directly and enjoyably,
Naturally benefiting you and all those in your life.
And I thank you for taking this time for yourself today.
Feel free to share this session with anyone you think it might resonate with.
And I hope you have an incredible day.
