Experience profound healing in your relationship with your parents through this transformative meditation that bridges inner child work with ancestral healing. By visualizing the inner children of your parents, this practice helps you cultivate acceptance, compassion, and understanding, moving beyond blame and bitterness. While it’s not necessary to complete the previous meditation (Healing Your Inner Child - Identifying & Reparenting), doing so can enhance your experience. This powerful practice is best done in a quiet, safe space where you can relax without disturbance. Do not listen while operating heavy machinery. Background Music: The Inner Calling by Music of Wisdom, layered with other sounds. Cover Image: Elizabeth Ryan.

Hello divine soul and welcome to this inner child meditation And this is the second meditation in this series and this meditation really bridges us into the ancestral work for here we will be working with the inner children or the children of our Parents and of course it is our parents who we often love to blame for the traumas of the traumatized inner child So this guided meditation helps with creating compassion for our parents and the mistakes they may have made they were of course Doing the best that they could with the knowledge and the understanding that they had and their ceiling of development in terms of their emotional capacity their psychological development their healing and Even their spiritual parts is most likely the point at which we would call our ground Zero just remember that they did not start from their starting point Was their parents ceiling and likewise our children will begin Where we left off when we start doing inner child work can be very easy To start resenting the parents as we uncover trauma after trauma that we often didn't even know was there and Creating resentment is certainly not the point of this healing work at all and so We may at times need help in coming back to a space of love Understanding and compassion begin by getting yourself comfortable with your spine Beautifully straight and aligned allowing the breath to deepen and elongate Imagining that you are breathing in through your heart allowing it to open and expand and breathing out Through the base of your spine and just like in the previous meditation We will take five breaths like this if you were able to add in the highlighting of the solar plexus and The sacral chakra with that breath traveling down the spine You are welcome to add that in here as well breathing in one allowing yourself to relax and breathing out the base of the spine to allowing yourself to relax every muscle in the body three Going deeper and deeper into the realms of your own psyche your own inner being for Allowing yourself to be fully Relaxed and ready to do this sacred work fine allow yourself to imagine your mother at age three whether this is your biological mother or adopted mother or Another mother figure in your life.

It does not matter trust.

Whatever is Showing up.

Perhaps she is playing outside Or maybe drawing a picture just observe for a few moments How this child shows up witness her in her innocence In this moment before she is tainted by the ideas of her parents before she has been marred by the projections of her society see her in her purity Knowing that there is so much ahead of her that she must endure And get through in order to get to the point of being able to bring you into this world or If it is not your biological mother To get to the point where she is able to take you in and to care for you in the best way She knows how if you have not already then approach See if she will allow you to embrace her to hold And to cradle tell her that she is wonderful.

Tell her that she is Love tell her Whatever it is you feel she needs to hear Right now chances are that a lot of what you're in a child is also What your mother will need I will allow you some time now to cradle hold and love this child and it's time for us to Move on but before we do take the image of this child and roll her into a little ball Of love and place that ball within your heart space Next we will meet three year old version of your Father and we will once again count To five breathing in each time and then allowing that image to show up breathing in one allowing yourself to relax and to let go of the previous visualization to Allowing yourself to go deeper Three you are completely relaxed present For you are ready and receptive five allowing the image of The three year old version of your father to appear in front of you Perhaps he is coming down a slide or maybe he is moving around some building blocks Just spend some time Witnessing where he is and what he is doing see him in his innocence this moment before He is tainted by the concepts of his parents Before he has been filtered and diluted through the ideas of his teachers and schools See him in his innate goodness Knowing that there is so much That lies ahead of him that he must overcome and move through in order to reach the point of your conception or if it is your father that is not biological to come to the point where he is able to Be your caregiver and provider if you have not done so already approach This divine child see if he will allow you to hug him hold him And love him love him in the ways that He was denied quite possibly because he was a boy tell him that he is Enough that he is Innately worthy.

I will give you some time to spend with this divine Child it is time to come back now,

But before we do Take the image of this child and roll it into a little ball of love And place it in your heart Feel the fullness of your heart as you have made space for these two divine souls pure love and innocence acknowledge How easy it is to love this version of your parents and acknowledge to how easy it is to forgive from this space Take a few moments To reflect if there is something specific that needs forgiving Right now and I will allow you some time to have those conversations of forgiveness some of you may have resistance towards the word forgiveness in which case simply let go of that word and replace it with the idea of letting go or Accepting it is not synonymous with condoning any behaviors,

But it's just simply Allowing ourselves to move forward no longer carrying the burdens or the grudges Simply let go of the act the experience or the hurtful words and Dissolve it back Into love I will give you two minutes to move through this it is time to come back finish your sentences give your hugs wave your goodbyes and feel the sense of letting go and releasing Take a moment to imagine that there is a waterfall of Cleansing blue energy washing over you getting rid of any of the residues of bitterness or anger or anything that no longer serves you and allow that cleansing to continue as we count back up to five coming back into a conscious waking state and breathing deeply with each one allowing the medicine of this practice to settle into your psyche to Allowing yourself to feel light and cleansed Three wiggling your fingers and your toes and gently beginning to come back into Awaking state of mind for almost fully conscious and five Fully awake fully in this day Allow yourself to ground this experience by moving through a process of Journaling and go and have a light free and beautiful day

First off, the music in the background is so soothing and calming! Her voice is very serene. It is such an important exercise in forgiveness of our parents. Resentment and bitterness can keep us in a prison of anger. Letting go is the only way to truly be free. Once we have processed our grief of course.
