Healing Your Inner Child Meditation

Hello and welcome to your guided meditation on healing your inner child.

I first just want to thank you so much for being here right now and congratulate you on taking this step to really look at yourself and go inside and look at the parts of you that may feel a little unworthy.

Maybe you get anxious,

Maybe you feel shame,

Judgment,

You're afraid of being seen.

Any of these negative emotions that come up,

You are taking this step and going inside and just becoming aware of where these emotions may have stemmed from.

A lot of times it comes from past experiences and experiences that we have as a child.

I just want to thank you so much for being here right now and taking the time to do this meditation.

Let's get started.

I want you to find a comfortable seat,

Placing both feet on the ground and you can place your palms on top of your thighs for grounding.

If you want to receive,

You can have your palms up.

I'm going to put mine down just to get really grounded and settled within my body.

And I want you to roll your shoulders up and down your back,

Opening up your chest.

Let's do that one more time.

Roll your shoulders up and down your back,

Opening up your chest.

Beautiful.

Now take a deep breath in through your nose.

Inhale,

Fill up.

Exhale,

Release.

Let it go out your mouth.

We're going to do two more just like that.

Deep breath in through your nose.

Fill up.

Inhale.

Exhale,

Release out your mouth.

Let it go.

Beautiful.

One more just like that.

Deep breath in through your nose.

Sip the air.

Inhale.

Exhale,

Release out your mouth.

Let it go.

Beautiful.

Now if your eyes are not closed,

I want you to gently close your eyelids as you sink into your chair,

Relaxing into your body.

And we will begin our Ujjayi breath,

Breathing in and out of our nose.

And just begin to breathe at your own pace,

Noticing your breath as the air travels up your navel cavity.

Maybe it goes down to your throat or to your chest,

Belly,

And then releases back out.

And just notice,

Just notice the air without judgment and focus your attention on your breath as you inhale and exhale.

Beautiful.

Now I want you to begin to imagine.

Imagine yourself as a young child,

About four or five years old,

And really get a clear picture of this version of you.

This version of you.

So young,

So innocent,

So sweet,

So carefree.

Just get a clear picture of you,

This little version of you.

Now I want you to imagine this version of you walking down a hallway.

And as you walk slowly down the hallway,

Step by step,

Placing one foot in front of the other,

You see two doors.

And as you make your way to the first door,

You go and you turn right.

You open up the door and you see a long staircase.

So you begin to travel down to the staircase,

Making your way one foot at a time with so much curiosity.

Just wondering,

What are you walking towards?

Where are you going?

And as you slowly begin to walk down,

You get to the bottom of the staircase.

At the bottom of the staircase,

You see your mother or your mother figure,

Whoever played a mother role in your life.

And you see her standing there.

She's standing there and she looks so sad.

She looks so,

So sad.

And with such curiosity,

You go to your mom and you say,

Mom,

Why are you so sad?

And all she can say to you is because,

Honey,

I loved you the only way I knew how.

And I know that because of the way that I loved you,

You have so much pain inside of you.

And I'm so sorry.

And seeing your mother like this immediately,

I want you to notice if there's any tension or pain in your body.

And I want you to take a deep breath right now.

Inhale through your nose.

Exhale,

Release out your mouth and just feel in your body any tension as you breathe into it.

Now I want you to imagine your child's self going up to your mother and just giving her the biggest hug,

The biggest hug that you can.

Just feel that feel that warmth,

That embrace in your arms.

And however you are feeling right now is OK.

And just breathe into this feeling.

As you release your mother from your arms,

She disappears.

And now I want you to imagine a time when you felt unworthy,

When you felt judged,

When you felt shame by your mother.

And I want you to imagine a specific event in your childhood,

A specific time that you felt these feelings.

And now I want you to look at your child's self in this moment and look at her or him.

And I want you to come to them with such compassion and such love.

And I want you to go to your child's self and tell them you are worthy.

It is OK to show up and be seen.

You are amazing.

I want you to give your child self the biggest hug in this moment,

The biggest,

Biggest hug,

Holding them so,

So tight with such warmth,

With so much love.

And just gazing into their eyes,

Helping them heal,

Helping them feel warm and comforted and loved and telling them it's OK.

Look at me now.

You're going to be all right.

And it's only getting better from here.

And as your child self looks you in the eye,

They have this beam of light,

This knowingness that everything is going to be OK.

And they can feel the weight lifted off of them.

That sense of unworthiness,

That sense of pain,

The sudden lifted.

And as you feel the weight off of your shoulders,

I want you to just wrap yourself up in this warm beam of love and light.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Release.

Let it go.

I want you to turn around and slowly begin to make your way up the staircase one foot at a time.

Looking back,

Knowing that there is so much peace now with your inner child and your mom or your mother figure.

As you open up the door,

You go back into the hallway and you see there's one more door there waiting for you.

And so you open it up and as you begin to go down the stairs one foot at a time.

You see what's waiting for you at the bottom of your stairs.

And it is your father or your father figure who ever played a father role in your life.

And you see him standing there and he too is feeling so sad with his shoulders slouched over looking down.

And you say,

Dad,

Why are you so upset?

And he says,

Honey,

I loved you the best way I could.

The only way I knew how.

And you say,

Oh,

It was enough for me.

And I love you,

Too.

And however you feel,

However your relationship is with your dad,

Just know that he did the best that he could with what he knew.

And now I want you to imagine the time where you felt unworthy,

Where you felt judged,

Where you felt shame,

Where you felt like you weren't good enough or smart enough in some particular way because of a situation with your father.

And I want you to remember a specific time.

Go back,

Go back and think of a specific time you felt something was said or done that made you feel like you weren't enough.

And now I want you to imagine yourself as you are now.

Amazing,

Strong,

Powerful,

Seeing your child's self and looking them in the eyes.

And what would you tell your child's self in this moment?

Your child's self is so,

So grateful for you right now and your presence.

And they feel such warmth.

They feel empowered.

They feel that they can do anything.

They can go after their dreams.

They can trust themselves.

They feel so smart.

They feel powerful.

They feel beautiful,

Gorgeous,

Handsome.

They feel like a million bucks.

And I want you to just embrace your child's self for a moment,

Giving them the biggest,

Warmest hug,

Filling them up with love and light.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Release.

Let it go.

As you say goodbye to your child's self,

Slowly begin to walk back up the staircase one foot at a time,

Making your way back up to the door,

Waving goodbye,

Going back to the hallway.

And as you walk down the hallway,

I want you to feel a giant beam of light pouring down from the universe,

Pouring over the top of your head and just glowing all over you,

Shining over your body and protecting you with so much love and light.

And just feel it within yourselves as yourselves begin to activate and they begin to vibrate at this higher level.

And I want you to release all feelings of unworthiness,

Of shame,

Of doubt,

Of feeling not good enough.

I want you to let all of that go and that light is just sucking all up.

It's sucking it up.

It's sucking up all those feelings and saying no,

No more.

Your new reality is chosen and you are going to have the best life ever.

Your dreams are coming true.

They're in fruition right now.

And you are healed.

Your inner child loves you.

You have poured so much love within yourself and you are going to do great things in this world.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Release.

Let it go.

You can gently flutter your eyelids open when you're ready.

Roll your shoulders up and down your back.

And I hope you have a beautiful rest of your day.
