Hey there. Today's meditation is about releasing any pain that you may be holding and embracing your beautiful inner child. Find a comfortable position where you feel supported and allow your eyes to close gently. And allow your eyes to close gently and, when you're ready, take a slow, deep breath in and exhale fully With each breath. Invite your body to soften and settle. Take the time you need here, simply breathing and allowing. When you're ready, imagine a soft golden light. This soft golden light is surrounding you, warm, safe and protective. Feel its warmth surrounding you like a halo. This is the light of compassion and understanding.
Speaker 1:Take another deep breath here and now. Bring to mind your inner child. And now bring to mind your inner child. See them as clearly as you can or simply sense their presence before you. Just notice how they appear, maybe with a smile, maybe holding on to something heavy. However, your inner child shows up is perfect. Take a breath and silently say I see you, I honor you, I am here with you.
Speaker 1:Notice if your child self is carrying pain, maybe some fears or sadness or old beliefs that whisper things like I'm not good enough or I don't belong. Maybe your inner child was a hard worker because they believed that if they didn't work so hard, maybe they wouldn't be so loved. Whatever those feelings or fears or old beliefs are, just allow those to surface gently, without judgment. It can be tender. So take your time here, maybe now place a hand over your heart and imagine extending the other hand to your inner child. Whisper inwardly hey, hey, I see you and I feel you, but you don't need to carry this anymore. We are safe now. We're okay.
Speaker 1:Now. Visualize your inner child handing over any pain, fear or limiting beliefs that they've been holding on to, and watch as these burdens dissolve into the golden light, transforming into peace, clarity and love and love. Offer your inner child a tender embrace, one that says I love you, I understand you, I trust you. Let go of these burdens. Thank you for holding them, but you are free now and we are okay. You don't need to carry this anymore. We are safe now.
Speaker 1:I don't need you to hold on to these things for me. I need you to remind me that we can play, that life is an adventure, that the beginner's mindset is exactly where we get to be. Remind me of that freedom of running outside with no expectations, no time constraints. Tell your inner child that they are cherished, that they are the essence of life, that they are safe and forever loved and that together you are whole. Go and join them in their playground if it feels right, and when you're ready, invite them back into your heart. And when you're ready, invite them back into your heart, knowing that together you are free. Take a deep breath in and slow exhale out, knowing that you return here anytime you want and that your inner child is always with you. With you, when you're ready, gently wiggle your fingers, understanding and then knowing that we are okay. Namaste, my friend.
