If you feel that there are some disconnect or disharmony between you and other members in your family,
Then this would be the perfect meditation to try.
As it will help you reduce stress and anxiety,
In addition,
It will also guide you to realign your family relationships so that you will feel safe,
Happy,
And at ease.
Please sit in a comfortable position and let your body relax.
Whenever you are ready,
Feel free to close your eyes.
Now let's take a few deep breaths together.
Inhale deeply,
Filling the chest and lungs as much as you could,
And then exhale slowly.
Inhale deeply,
Exhale completely.
Inhale deeply again,
And if you feel there is any tension in your body,
Gently guide your breath and the tension there to soften the area.
Let the breath recede in its natural rhythm.
Remember,
Life is about a journey,
To search within yourself,
Realize yourself,
And then explore your relationships with the outside world.
Now,
Being fully present,
Begin to notice what's going on in your family relationships these days.
Who is causing you anxiety and distress?
Under what circumstances?
You could think of a situation that happened and recently visualize the scenario with the surroundings and the people.
Please take a deep breath,
Inhale slowly,
Exhale completely,
Acknowledge whatever comes to your mind without any self-judgment.
The acknowledgement would enable you to dive more deeply so that you could begin to explore further with the follow-up questions.
What happened in this situation?
You know that you always listen with your two ears,
And now imagine that your two ears are right in front of you right now.
Then,
Slowly lay your left ear and right ear,
Get closer to each other so that they are somewhat touching each other.
And please stop right there.
You will be surprised at what you have found right at this moment when you put the ears together.
It actually resembles a heart shape,
Which is why the word ear is in the word heart.
When we truly listen with our heart,
We will be able to discover the true intention behind every word someone else has said.
Therefore,
Please slow down and listen attentively to the words being said again in this situation.
Gently ask yourself deep within my heart,
What do I truly believe had happened?
Whenever you receive an answer,
Please ask yourself,
Is this really what this person meant?
Or is there actually another level of truth in which the person had the best intention for me but did not communicate it in a way that is conducive for me to receive the information again?
And then take the advice or action?
Did I let my own emotions or reactions cover up the truth that was meant to be exposed but did not in the end due to the colorings created by my mind and ego?
Inhale deeply.
Exhale slowly.
Let your breath be natural and gently observe the inflow and outflow of your breath.
Family members might not be able to understand you all the time,
But they usually have their best intentions for you just that they might not know how to express their ideas in a way that is easily acceptable to you.
You could not control what others say or do,
But you could always change your perceptions of how you understand the situation from a more loving and understanding perspective.
You never know,
Maybe the family members are just having a bad day or they're actually going through some physical,
Emotional,
Mental troubles without letting you know instead of reacting without giving everything some time and space.
Ask the family member if he or she is doing alright and why he or she would like to do this or that so that you could learn the rationale behind their reasoning.
Inhale deeply.
Exhale slowly.
The future is not constituted by who you are right now or who you believe you are right now.
Keeping all limits aside,
Take a moment and imagine what would it be like to live an ideal family life with your loved ones,
Including your baby.
Where would you like to live?
What kind of activities and interactions would you like to do or have with your family members?
Feel free to voice the ideal life out loud or think about it silently within your mind.
Promise to say goodbye to influence and to Now,
Please be kind to yourself and repeat the following phrases,
Keeping in mind that you could always modify the phrases as you wish.
I forgive my family for any mistakes or miscommunications that had happened before.
Because I know that deep in my heart,
It's not their true intention.
I love each of my family members wholeheartedly.
I will always be a well-wisher to my family and I know that every one of them loves me as much as I welcome.
They will always be there for me,
Either in physical presence or at heart,
As I have been in the past.
They do want me to feel safe,
Protected,
Happy and healthy.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to get to know my family members in this life and go to my best to live in the present moment and cherish every second one-armed wisdom.
Deep,
Deep breath.
Inhale deeply.
Exhale completely.
Feel your body relax and really feel the power of the positive affirmations you have just did.
Whenever you are ready,
Please gently open your eyes and feel free to move around a little bit so that you will feel more grounded.
Amazing.
Hope this session is able to realign relationships with your family members and enable you to visualize an ideal way of living wisdom.
