Transcript

Greetings and welcome to this meditation on connecting with your inner caregiver.

Within you,

There is a nurturing presence,

One that provides warmth,

Reassurance,

And love.

Today,

We will tap into that presence to cultivate self-compassion and healing.

Get comfortable,

Close your eyes,

And take a deep breath.

Let's begin.

Picture a warm,

Inviting space,

Perhaps a cozy room,

A peaceful garden,

Or a soft,

Glowing light surrounding you.

Imagine a part of you that feels small or vulnerable.

This part may need comfort and care.

Now,

Invite your inner caregiver to step forward.

This could be an older,

Wiser version of yourself,

A kind presence,

Or even a familiar figure offering support.

Feel their presence beside you.

Hear them say,

I am here for you.

You are safe.

You are loved.

If emotions arise,

Let them flow naturally here.

Your inner caregiver holds space for all of you without judgment.

Stay with this presence,

Absorbing its warmth and compassion.

Take a deep,

Soothing breath.

Feel the support within you.

When you're ready,

Open your eyes,

Carrying this nurturing energy forward.
