Hello and welcome to the session.
I invite you to take a seat or lie down and get yourself comfortable.
You can close down the eyes if you wish.
Just begin by slowing down the breath.
In through the nose,
Low into the belly and slow.
And when you're ready,
Placing your hand upon your heart space.
Just feeling the sensations deeply.
The warmth of your hand upon your skin.
Gentle pressure.
Now taking a moment to visualize the heart space as a glowing ball of energy.
A flame or a light.
With the breath,
Visualizing that heart space growing stronger and brighter.
As we embody,
Embrace and become the heart space.
This space goes by many names but it's a part of us that is at our highest.
It's untaintable,
Uncorruptible.
One that has the aspects of compassionate curiosity and calm confidence.
And it's one that can help to reintegrate and reconnect with lost parts.
If we hold that the body keeps the score.
We hold that for no fault of our own,
Things happened.
That we couldn't quite process at the time,
Weren't able to or didn't know how.
So we hold on to it.
And it manifests as tension,
Chronic issues,
Behaviors,
Thinking processes,
And other things.
Things that kept us safe at the time but may no longer be serving us.
So in this session we are going to invite those parts to return,
To reconnect with us.
So visualizing the heart space as that glowing ball of energy or light or flame.
With the breath it grows stronger and brighter.
But also it invites the parts of us in.
You can almost imagine a magnetic pull towards the heart space.
With each in-breath it's welcoming these disparate parts of us to return.
Saying,
Hey,
I am here now.
This moment is safe.
That I see you.
That I acknowledge you.
That I'm there with you.
I am here now.
So with each in-breath visualizing the heart space growing stronger and brighter.
As we embody,
Embrace,
And become the heart space.
And imagine,
Imagine this pull,
This return.
This reconnection.
The heart space magnetically pulling the disparate parts of us in.
But not a pull with force,
But rather an offering.
Saying,
Hey,
Come back.
I am here and I'd like you to return.
I know you've been doing a lot for us.
But I am here now.
For the next minute let's just sit together.
Breathing.
Visualizing the heart space growing stronger and brighter.
And offering these parts of us a gentle return.
Let's begin.
Okay.
So this process of connecting to the heart space or the self.
Visualizing it as a glowing ball of energy,
Or flame,
Or light.
Or inviting the parts of us to return and integrate.
This is a slow and delicate process.
One that will take time.
And you can commit to returning to this practice.
Letting these parts know of you.
That you're here.
That this isn't a once and done thing.
And you can do this throughout your day.
With one breath.
You pause.
Ground yourself in the heart space,
In the self.
Take one deep breath.
And with that breath inviting the parts to return.
You can do this throughout the day.
And over time and with practice these parts will begin to trust.
Will begin to connect.
Will begin to understand that we,
We have returned.
The self.
The heart space.
Us.
They can gently,
Gradually,
Eventually let their guard down.
They can release.
So let's take one more slow,
Deep breath.
As a gentle,
Loving invitation for all of these parts to return.
Thank you for joining me.
I'll see you in the next session.
