Settle into a comfortable position,
Letting your body soften,
Your breath slow,
Your awareness gather inward.
And when you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Let the noise of the outer world slip into the background.
And let the inner world begin to glow open.
Take a slow inhale and a long,
Unhurried as though you're releasing a story your body no longer needs to carry.
Feel the steadiness beneath you,
The quiet ground that has held you through every chapter of your becoming.
Let yourself lean into that support.
Begin sensing the space beneath your thoughts,
A tender inner terrain that remembers who you were before you learned to guard your heart,
Before you learned to tighten or shrink in order to survive.
With this inner landscape,
A pathway begins to form.
Let it appear in whatever way it chooses.
There is no right image,
Only what arises.
Begin walking this path slowly,
Each step a return to the deeper truth of who you are.
Up ahead,
Notice a small figure,
Your inner child.
Allow them to reveal themselves in whatever age they choose.
Whatever expression,
Whatever version of you is ready to be witnessed today.
No forcing,
Only allowing,
Only seeing.
Take a moment to simply be with them.
When your heart feels ready,
Move a little closer.
As though you're approaching something sacred.
Let your presence speak softly,
I'm here,
I see you,
You are safe with me.
Sit or kneel beside them,
Matching their pace,
Their innocence,
Their rhythm.
And ask gently,
What do you need from me right now?
Then open a spacious,
Quiet field for their truth to rise.
Offer what you can,
Warmth,
Reassurance,
Permission to feel,
Or simply your steady,
Unhurried presence.
This moment belongs only to the two of you.
Place one hand on your heart and imagine placing the other softly on theirs.
Feel the thread between you,
Ancient,
Unbroken,
Remembering.
Tell them your feelings matter.
I'm here with you.
You don't have to hold anything alone anymore.
When the moment feels right,
Let this younger you step closer and gently merge into your heart space.
Not disappearing,
But returning,
Coming home,
Becoming part of your breath,
Your wisdom,
Your unfolding.
Slowly,
Begin sensing your own body again,
Your breath,
The room around you,
While holding your inner child with tenderness inside you.
As we move toward closing,
Let a few quiet reflections drift across your awareness.
What did my inner child reveal today?
What longing or emotion rose to the surface?
What does this tender part of me need as I move through the days ahead?
What promise can I offer this younger self that feels true and gentle?
Let a soft devotion form within you.
I will make space for you.
I will listen for you.
I will tend to you with kindness.
I will carry you gently as we move forward together.
Take one nourishing breath,
Feeling the quiet glow of your inner child resting in the warmth of your chest.
And when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Namaste.
