Visualizing A Family Member For Emotional Healing

It's a visualization to see your mother and then father and their stories.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in and out.

Imagine that your mother stands in front of you,

A few steps away.

Check inside.

What sensations are you aware of?

Now imagine that she takes three large steps and stands very close to you within inches of your body.

What physically happens inside you?

Does your body open or does it contract or want to pull away?

If your answer is that your body contracts or wants to pull away,

It is important to realize that the work of opening is now your responsibility and not your mother's.

Consider telling the words,

Mom,

I will try to take in your love just as it is without judging it or expecting it to be different.

How does it feel to say that?

What happens in your body when you tell her this?

Is there any place in your body that lets go,

Opens or feels softer?

Let's do that now.

A few steps away.

Dad,

I will try to take you in in your love just as it is without judging it or expecting it to be different.

How does it feel to say that?

What happens in your body when you tell him this?

Is there any place in your body that lets go,

Opens or feels softer?

Very slowly and gently take a few deep breaths and when you feel ready you can open your eyes.

Thank you.
