Hi,
My name is William Wood and today I'd like to help you find a place of peace and safety to nourish your sense of a child within.
Before we get to the meditation,
I'd like to invite you to find a place that's safe and appropriate to close your eyes and to turn your attention to the inner world.
Once your eyes are closed,
Give permission for your body to settle in and settle down and to begin the process of letting go,
Drawing your attention to the muscles of the eyes and letting the eyes relax in preparation for the body to become still and quiet and peaceful.
Once the eyes are relaxing,
Imagine sending a wave of relaxation from the eyes all the way down to the tips of the toes,
Being kind to your body by releasing the tension and tightness to the best of your ability,
Letting every muscle,
Every nerve,
Every cell unwind,
Release and relax.
Giving yourself permission in this moment to connect to the peace that only comes from inside,
Deep within.
Pay special attention to the jaw,
The muscles around the jaw,
Inviting a deep release in the jaw,
One that perhaps even invites the jaw to open and to relax.
And then pay special attention to the belly,
The deep abdominal muscles,
Giving permission to the abdomen to release the tension,
To let go completely,
Totally and thoroughly.
Then scan the body one more time,
Giving yourself permission to double the relaxation,
To release twice the stress,
To truly let yourself find a moment of peace through the body.
Then turn your attention inward,
To the inner eye.
Direct your inner eye to a peaceful place,
Perhaps real,
Perhaps imagined.
The place where you can completely settle in and find an inner peace.
Be there now and imagine what are you seeing in this place of peace?
What are the things that cause you to relax and be still here,
Now?
What are the sounds that bring you stillness and peace and quiet here in this place?
Hearing with the inner ear what you need to hear to completely let go.
How is your body beginning to respond?
Here in this peaceful place.
And can you give full permission to the body to let go,
To relax?
Creating the body with kindness here in this peaceful place.
Allow all of your five senses to be completely surrounded and enveloped by this peace,
This stillness,
This quiet.
Imagine a healing light,
One that brings absolute and complete safety.
Imagine a healing color,
One that represents perfect safety.
Notice the color of safety in this healing light.
And imagine the light descending gently to peacefully fill this healing place.
Notice the light has a kind of vibration,
A kind of warmth.
Just the sound of peace and safety fills the light.
Step into the light.
Let it surround you.
Let it fill you.
Imagine little openings in the head and the heart that invite the light inside.
This light now enters the head and the heart,
Filling your mind and your body with safety.
As this seemingly liquid light surrounds the area around the brain with peace and safety.
All the cells of the brain being surrounded and coated by the warmth,
The vibration,
The color of safety and peace.
The area around the heart,
Now surrounded by liquid healing warmth,
Vibration and light,
It causes the heart to feel safe,
To feel protected,
To feel at peace.
Imagine a volume knob,
Like an old fashioned radio,
One that you can easily grab with either your right hand or your left,
And dial up the volume on peace and safety.
Peace and safety magnifying,
Growing,
Intensifying.
Now as you dial the intensity of the volume of peace and safety up so that your mind and heart feel the peace and feel the safety.
You are shielded and protected.
Here and now.
This liquid healing light now works its way down into the belly.
The warmth,
The healing,
The safety surrounds the tissues of the intestines and the internal organs of the body.
Bringing serenity,
Stillness and peace deep within.
Now imagine inviting into this sanctuary of healing,
Peace and safety.
The inner child within,
Who most needs to experience this healing light.
This inner peace.
This healing safety.
Notice the age of your inner child.
The way the child is dressed.
Notice the look on the face.
This child represents your younger self that is ready for healing.
Compassionately invite the child inside of the healing light.
And imagine the light,
The warmth,
The vibration to surround the child in this cocoon of peace,
Safety and protection.
If the child prefers,
You can offer some comfort,
An embrace or a word to let the child know you are welcome here.
You deserve peace and safety.
And then imagine that the color of safety,
The color of healing,
Peace and safety begins to fill the child with every breath you are breathing,
With every inhale,
With every exhale.
The healing light continues to fill you and to fill this child.
Safe,
Filled with peace.
Visibly imagining the warmth,
The healing vibration and the light filling the mind,
The heart,
The belly,
The deep insides.
This younger you is completely healing,
Embraced by the light now within.
Warming,
Relaxing and healing within.
Now allow the child as much time as is needed here inside the light.
Now inside your own heart,
Find the place with perfect peace and stillness.
And imagine this place is a tiny seed.
This tiny seed now begins to grow in the presence of peace and light and healing.
The seed pushes down into the soil of the heart.
It takes root.
It draws strength from your own inner wisdom,
Your own inner love,
Your own inner compassion.
As the roots continue to draw strength from the earth beneath.
The small seed breaks the ground and it touches the place where the earth meets the sky.
The air is filled with the healing warmth and vibration of safety and light.
This light now fills that tender plant and it begins to grow,
Reaching upward for the heavens.
Drawing strength from below and strength from the healing light of safety and peace.
Now the plant begins to grow larger,
Stronger.
As more and more peace and healing light fill this growing tree within.
The light is now infused inside this growing tree now within you.
In the same way,
The light of safety and peace is filling the child,
Growing the child with safety and peace as the child reaches down into the earth and draws strength and stability from the ground beneath.
As the child looks up to the light and lets the light permeate and fill and nourish deep within.
The very essence of light and warmth and healing vibration infused deep within the child,
Growing to adulthood,
Filled now with safety,
Healing light and peace.
Take a moment to enjoy the peace and the safety you have cultivated today,
Knowing that every time you come back to this recording,
You are bringing a deeper safety,
A deeper peace to the child within.
You are healing every time you are kind to your mind and your body by giving it a break to listen,
To plant new seeds of safety and peace and healing.
When you're ready,
You can make the transition to the here and now,
Bringing safety and healing and peace with you into the present moment,
Opening your eyes and returning your awareness to now.
