Close your eyes and start to observe the breath.
You start to observe each in-breath.
You start to observe each out-breath.
Focus the awareness of the mind on the breathing.
Feeling the ribcage expand.
Feeling the ribcage contract.
You become aware of the sensations within the lungs,
Within the ribcage.
Feeling of expansion every time you breathe in.
Every time you breathe out.
Feel the breath enter.
You feel the breath leave.
You continue feeling the ribcage expanding,
The ribcage contracting.
Keep the mind focused on the breathing.
You start to feel the thoughts drifting away.
You realize how the thoughts are not important,
How they don't bring you peace,
How the only thing that brings you peace is the breath.
And you continue observing the breath entering,
Leaving,
Remaining aware of the sensations within the ribcage.
Breath enters,
Breath leaves.
Keep the mind focused on the breathing.
Feel the mind coming more and more to stillness as your awareness realizes more and more that the thoughts are not important,
They're not full of peace.
Bringing the awareness to the breath brings peace within.
So you just let the thoughts drift away.
They come and go all the time.
But you start to become more and more aware of their lack of importance compared to bringing the awareness to the breath.
Feel the breath entering,
Leaving,
The ribcage expanding,
Contracting,
More and more silence coming to the mind.
You continue to feel the sensations within the ribcage,
Expansion,
Contraction,
Stillness growing in the mind.
And as the stillness grows within the mind,
The stillness grows within the awareness,
You feel stillness within the heart.
You feel a drop of light entering into the heart.
And as it does,
It starts to soften the heart and you see yourself as a child deep within your heart.
A child who still sometimes feels pain,
Sorrow,
Feelings that are still unresolved.
And as this drop of light enters to the deepest chamber of the heart,
It starts to grow and expand.
It starts to shine light on this poor child that feels neglected,
That feels as if it's not had love.
And it starts to fill this child with love.
And then you,
As your awareness,
Start to fill this child with love.
You realize that you've become good in your own life at showing love to others,
To other children when they're sad or depressed.
Now go back to your own childhood and you start to show love towards yourself,
To yourself as a child,
Remembering all the times that you needed to be hugged,
You needed to be loved.
And hugging yourself,
Showing love to yourself,
Filling the holes within your heart that were never filled as a child.
You see yourself once more as this child deep within your heart and you look for all the holes that were never filled and you start to fill them with love and with light.
You start to fill yourself completely with love.
Reminding yourself of every time you felt neglected,
You felt like you wanted to be hugged or heard or loved and you fill yourself with this love.
Give this back to yourself.
You remember that you are the only person in the entire universe that knows all of your pains,
Your sorrows because you're the only one that's lived the entire history of your life.
And as you go back,
You remember all of these holes that need filling and with your own love for yourself,
You fill these holes.
You let love come pouring in.
Just as you show love to others,
You show love to yourself as a child here deep within your own heart and you allow love to come flooding in,
Softening every part of your own inner child,
Filling your own inner child entirely with unconditional love.
You see the teardrop of light explode within,
Reaching to every chamber of your small child within,
Filling yourself completely with light and love.
And you feel all the areas within your heart,
Within your small child,
All the areas that held pain or sorrow or hardship,
Just dissolving,
Becoming softer and you extend this now to your own parents.
You see that they too were once children.
They too had their pains and their sorrows and you now with a strong heart,
Start to fill their hearts.
You see them as children.
You see that they too were neglected,
Hurt and now with your strong heart,
You see them as children and fill them both with as much love as you can,
Filling their hearts entirely and then go back to their parents,
To your grandparents and see that too when they were children,
There were times where they were neglected and hurt and start to fill their souls too with love and compassion and let the light from the teardrop fill them just as it filled your own heart and your own inner child.
Allow it to fill them too as children and then go back to all of your ancestors.
See how there were times when they too as children were hurt or neglected and start to fill each and every one of them with love and compassion.
Start to fill their own hearts,
Getting softer and softer and then go back once more to your own inner child,
See it healed,
See it filled now with the beautiful golden light that comes from the drop of light that entered into your heart on purpose to heal your inner child.
See yourself as a small child completely filled with love now,
Filled with joy and happiness,
Able to express its happiness,
Its love and feel happiness within your heart.
Remind yourself if you ever become aware again of your inner child with a touch of sadness,
You just need to close your eyes,
See the drop of light filling its heart,
Reaching back and filling it completely with love and light.
You see yourself deep within as this small child completely happy,
Completely contented and you smile to yourself,
You feel a lightness within your heart and you slowly become aware of the world around,
Keeping this feeling of lightness within your heart,
This feeling of happiness that comes from feeling the small child within you with love and compassion and happiness and joy,
Allowing it to release.
You rub both palms together,
Take them softly over your eyes,
Just bringing warmth back into the eyes,
Keeping the feeling the small child within,
Being completely happy,
Nourished,
Loved and free.
Slowly open your eyes,
Becoming aware completely now of the world around but with you and your inner child completely healed and at one with the world.
