Welcome to day two of our 21 day love meditation. This is Barry Price. And today we're going to be going back to some of the hidden blocks that have been keeping that deep love out of your life. At some point in all of our lives we've encountered disappointment, Pain, Or been wounded by those whom we loved or who we hoped would love us the way we wanted and needed. And when we are wounded and have those painful experiences, It can leave us traumatized. And it can create beliefs that we carry with us to protect ourselves from being hurt that way again, Whether we realize it or not. One of the beautiful powers of doing this kind of meditative work is that we can get beneath some of our conscious layers to some of where our subconscious resides. And start shifting and making some change to our lifelong beliefs and patterns that have come out of old wounds so that we can be as loved and as loving as we know we're capable of and deserve. So find a comfortable space to sit or lie down. And let's begin clearing those blocks so we can have the kind of loving relationship that we all deserve. Make yourself comfortable and close your eyes as we take our second step on this journey. And just notice your breathing as you drop into your awareness of your body in the present moment. And just as we had gotten in touch with our feeling of love through our body and our heart, Get in touch now with a time in your life that you felt hurt or disappointed or had your heart broken or let down. Go back to that moment and feel how it felt. And when you start to feel that sadness or that pain or outrage or betrayal or whatever sensations and feelings are coming up in you, And when you notice where that's showing up in your body now, It's your jaw clenching, It's your neck tight. Perhaps you're feeling it in the pit of your stomach or in your throat or maybe in your breathing. Wherever you're feeling and noticing this emotion and sensation from where you've been hurt before, I want you to really drop in and focus on your bodily sensation of it, Where it's showing up in your body. Follow that back, As far back as you can, As far back as you can into being a teenager or a child. And see when your body has felt this before. Go back and back and back and let your body be the guide. Don't search with your mind. Let your body guide you. To when you felt this in your neck or in your breathing or in your throat or in the pit of your stomach before, When is the first time you remember this feeling in your body? Don't force it. This is a meditation you may want to do more than once, But take what comes today, Whatever is offered. And if it's nothing at first that comes to mind, If the wound is too painful for you to be able to see it right now, Then you can take it. Maybe a more recent time you felt this way. But the further back we go, The more we can get to that deep wound, That time that we were so hurt or disappointed or let down, Betrayed. Whatever it may be that hurt you, Maybe not being seen, Maybe not being seen, Maybe not being seen, Maybe not being seen, Maybe not being seen, Whatever it may be that hurt you, Maybe not being seen. And now as you feel your way through that basic wound, Think about how it made that side of you that is vulnerable feel. What did you decide for yourself in that moment to prevent ever feeling this way again? What did you decide to do or believe to protect yourself from ever feeling this hurt again? What promise did you make yourself? Who did you decide to become? Did you decide to become tough? Did you decide not to let people in that far? Did you decide to expect someone to let you down? What did you decide that would help you protect your feelings from this kind of wound and pain again? Once you found that, Once you found that, That adjustment you made, That shift you made back then that served you to protect you, Once you found who you became to feel safer, To prevent being wounded again, I want you to keep your thumb on it like you're keeping your finger on a piece of string that you're tying or knotting. Keep your finger on that belief, That change, That person you decided, That promise, That value made to how you'd avoid being wounded that way again. What agreement did you make with yourself? And as you come up out of the past and back towards the present moment, Bring your awareness with you that you've brought those promises, Vows, Beliefs, Protective mechanisms, Ways of defending your feelings and vulnerability, You've brought them with you too. You've brought them with you into your daily life now. And that's why they're still there under this tender, Sore spot, This wound in our heart. And in that heart you carry around these things that you do to protect yourself, These things that you believe so it doesn't hurt that way again. But what new promise can you replace that with? What can you tell yourself today? What can you tell your wounded heart that it will believe? That you can reassure it with is a new belief, A new agreement, A new promise, A new vow. Make that new promise to yourself of the way you want to believe in love or men or yourself today. Who do you want to be now? Make that clear promise to yourself and declare it as fact. Declare it as something that is happening, That will happen, That has already happened, And you will follow through. Carry that intention in your heart whenever the wound comes up. Whenever you feel that sensation of tightening or that feeling in the pit of your stomach, Whenever that fear of that wound begins to come up in your life again now, It's time for you to let go and let go and declare that there is a new way and a new day for you to do this. With a vision for who you are now. Take that intention out into your life. And when you declare that new promise and agreement, Act on it. Go show yourself that you're going to walk your talk. And that inner child that was so wounded will be able to let go of her wounds at last. And trust that you're here to make things different. Much love.

This is such an interesting & insightful series & journey. Whoa, this was a tumultuous experience: I'm so grateful that your voice is soothing & heart felt. However,it brought up a deep seated past family wound in a new way. But it released much & took a couple of times listening to get to a homeostasis enough to release to begin researching alternative ways to look at these situations. Rather than thoughts most times, I get more somatic or sensations in my body that need to be released. Namaste. Peace Shalom ๐Tee๐

If I can no longer love or attract love..it is not because of something others are doing...itโs definitely about the blockage in my own heart.
