Move from Ego to Soul Awareness

Let's start by relaxing your mind and your body.

Pay attention to your breath and let your breath slow down and deepen gently.

Breathing in,

Peace.

Breathing out,

Stress and tension.

Really notice the flow of air in and out of your body and how your body moves with the breath.

And as you continue to breathe deeply,

Slowly and mindfully,

Let's give your muscles and the rest of your body permission to relax.

You can mentally tell your body it's okay to relax now.

You have permission and you can give yourself permission to relax and release now.

Letting your toes,

Feet,

Ankles relax and release tension.

Lower legs and knees.

Upper legs,

Buttocks,

Pelvic floor.

All allowed to relax and release tension.

Abdomen and lower back.

Upper back and chest.

Shoulders.

Upper arms,

Lower arms.

Hands and fingers.

All relaxing,

Releasing tension.

Your neck,

Your jaw,

Muscles in your face.

The whole of your head,

Even your ears.

Everything's relaxing.

You might even yawn as your body releases stored up tension.

And from this beautiful,

Relaxed space,

Start to see yourself in a beautiful place in nature.

A place where you feel safe,

Nurtured and nourished.

Maybe it's a tropical beach.

Maybe it's a garden.

Maybe it's in the mountain.

Or anywhere else your imagination takes you to.

And remember,

This is your imagination,

Your visionary abilities.

You can change it in any way you wish to make it even more natural,

Even more beautiful and even more safe.

And now let's just get a sense that there's you as a small child,

Standing with you.

You don't have to be the child,

You can be with the small child.

And sending love to this smaller version of you,

Helping you feel even more loved and safe.

And as you see this child,

Become aware of this truth about your earthly life.

That you're actually made up of lots of small pieces.

Memories,

Parts of your personality,

Experiences.

All of the different things that make up the uniqueness of who you are.

Now we're going to take a moment and look at all these pieces from the ego's perspective.

And your inner child is going to help with this.

And if you notice,

Your ego is starting to sort them into good and bad.

Your ego has chosen some that you think are going to get you love and attention and get you liked from the people around you.

And the ego is putting them all together to form a mask that you think,

At some subconscious level,

Will get you everything your heart desires.

But if you notice,

Your inner child is a little confused.

See,

No one in your childhood really made it clear which pieces were good or which pieces were bad.

It depended on their moods.

It depended on who was with you.

And it just left you with this confusing feeling of really knowing who you needed to be.

What parts of yourself,

What pieces of yourself you needed to show people.

And which you needed to hide.

Your ego did its best to create something that it thought people would love.

But of course,

It's incomplete.

And if you notice,

Actually the mask shuts you off from true love.

It shuts you off from real love and it keeps pieces of yourself stuck in shadow,

Making you feel like there's something wrong with you.

But really,

There's nothing wrong with you.

Let's have a look at it from the soul's perspective.

That mask of all those pieces you thought would get you love is being energised with the beautiful loving energy of your soul.

All of the pieces are moving out of their rigid formation.

And they're moving all around you,

All around your inner child at the same time.

With it all around you like a galaxy of stars.

All of these pieces that represent all of those different aspects that make up your earthly life.

It's as if your heart is the centre of this galaxy.

Love is the centre of this galaxy.

And all of those stars,

All of those pieces of you can shine when love is at the centre.

There's no need to put certain ones forward.

There's no need to hide any.

All of them,

When they're connected to love,

When they're connected to your heart and soul and infused with that pure energy of love,

You shine brightly.

And there's no need to pretend to be anything else.

This is true authenticity.

This is true integrity.

This is heart-centred living.

And perhaps you'll notice your inner child has now been set free.

This inner child is no longer carrying the burden of having to try and find which pieces keep people happy.

When actually,

The heart is the most important piece that infuses all of the rest with the love that you truly are.

And then start to bring your awareness back into your physical body.

See yourself connected with the earth,

Fully grounded and connected with Mother Earth.

Bringing this soul awareness into your everyday life,

Gently coming back into your physical body.

Take a deep breath.

Wiggle your toes and fingers.

Stretch if you need to.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.
