Meditation For Your Healing Your Inner Child

Sit back and get comfortable.

You can either do this lying down or sitting in a chair.

Take a deep breath and make sure that your legs are on cross.

Now close your eyes.

Now begin breathing very deeply,

Taking five deep breaths and with every breath you excel,

You will become more deeply relaxed.

After the fifth breath,

Concentrate on the weight of your feet.

Your feet being foreign,

Filling to your normal body weight will begin to feel heavy and this heavy relaxation from your toes to your heels to your ankles will become very prominent.

You're now feeling this heavy relaxation moving upward into the calves of your legs,

Feeling the weight of your legs pushing down heavier and heavier and feeling your legs relaxing deeply,

Deeply relaxing.

And this heavy relaxation moves into your knees as you concentrate only on my voice.

Pay no attention to any sound outside except for the sound of my voice.

For these sounds are everyday sounds of life and cannot distract or disturb you.

But will tend to relax you and allow you to go even deeper into this deep heavy relaxation.

Now feel the relaxation moving upward into your thighs and hips and through the midsection of your body.

Feel the stomach muscles relaxing,

Deeply relaxing and the entire chest area becomes saturated with relaxation.

Breathing becomes very deep,

Gentle and the drowsy,

Sleepy,

Daydreaming feeling of relaxation takes over,

Letting go,

Drifting down deeper and deeper and your arms,

Hands and fingers are relaxing,

Feeling a non pleasant tingling feeling through your fingers as this relaxation grows deeper and deeper.

Neck muscles are relaxing and all the little muscles in the scalp are letting go,

Feeling as if the blood is circulating very close to the skin.

This relaxation moves down over your forehead and down over your eyelids and your jaw muscles relax deeply,

Deeply relaxing and growing heavier.

And as I count from 5 down to 0,

Each count will represent deep relaxation and you will feel the body relaxing even more and letting go,

Deeper and deeper.

And when I reach 0,

You will go deep asleep.

Now 5,

Letting go,

4,

3,

2,

1,

0,

Deep sleep.

Now each and every time I suggest deep sleep,

You will go down quickly,

Soundly into a deep hypnotic state.

Each and every time I suggest deep sleep,

You will go down quickly,

Soundly and deeply into a hypnotic state.

And as I continue to talk,

You will continue to go deeper and deeper.

Now sometimes you will find ourselves paying attention to the most relaxing things.

Sometimes we find ourselves adding numbers which are numbered nicely.

Other times we drift a bit as we think about all the things that are parallel in the universe and all the things which cross perpendicular across the horizons of those parallel things.

But we always find ourselves slowing down for a stop sign and drifting,

Floating below the threshold of our consciousness.

When we feel ourselves let go of these parallel line thoughts and just focus on how drifting seems effortless in a room where blue and green move across the floor in a timeless drifting down motion which we find many times to be relaxing,

Relaxing,

Relaxing,

Deeper and deeper as we add 3 plus 3 plus 3 plus the horizon of relaxation in a drifting feeling as we float along to the solution which relaxes us deeper into the mathematical concepts that we are now examining.

Because 4 plus 4 is a forethought to forego consciousness.

And drifting happens when we now calculate all the foregoing thoughts in the parallel sphere of our own reality,

Letting go and relaxing deeper and deeper.

1 plus 1 is 2 of a kind and a stray flush down the river rowing a boat on a relaxing day and getting very tired of rowing in rows and rows of hay in a field having been belled by a male that sails down the same river and lets go of the drifting current currently relaxing in the warm sunshine,

Relaxing in a chair there walking down stairs deeper and deeper.

Now I want you to imagine yourself at the stop at the top of a staircase,

A very well lit secure staircase.

Now we're going to count down from 20 to 0 and with each step down you will go deeper and deeper.

Now 20,

19,

20,

You're going deeper and deeper,

13,

11,

10,

Deeper and deeper,

8,

5,

0,

Deep sleep.

Every one of us has an inner child locked away inside of us,

Put there long ago during our real childhood when we were forced to hide our true feelings and emotions.

Your inner child has always been a creative,

Curious and playful being with a desire to belong.

Like an untrained puppy,

It might sometimes leap up in places it shouldn't,

Hoping to be rewarded by a pat or a kind word but instead on receiving a reprimand slouched back to its corner with his tail between its legs.

Eventually the puppy learned obedience and curtailed such iniquisitiveness,

Trotting instead by its master side,

Doing as it was told and losing an important part of its individuality.

Just like the puppy,

Sometimes in your childhood you were forced to abandon your childish emotions and behavior because some adult decided that needed you to grow up and not knowing any better you obeyed them because that is what children do.

Of course in many ways that was good as it taught you important social skills and prepared you for the harsh reality of life but at the time those adults didn't realize the effect it would have later on you in your adult life.

They didn't know how you felt when you hid your feelings of rejection,

Hurt or other negative emotions.

How could they?

And perhaps for your part you didn't tell them.

After all it's quite common for children and indeed many adults to contain their feelings and suffer in silence,

Not wishing to impose themselves upon others.

You might well wonder why adults feel compelled to encourage children to modify their behavior or stifle the creative side of their nature.

Why can't children act like children?

Why can't adolescents revert to childlike behavior?

Why must adults behave like adults?

The answer is because we are programmed this way by society.

An adult's control of behavior is because that's what happened to them during their own childhood and they believe that it is the correct way to nurture children and help them to grow into responsible adults.

Perhaps you were told not to be stupid when you gave your opinion as a child or that children should be seen and not heard.

Maybe you received negative reactions instead of praise when you did something right or perhaps the adults in your life constantly commented on or criticized your mistakes and perceived failures.

I'm willing to bet that if you think hard enough you will remember a time when you also told at least one other person to grow up because they were behaving in a manner which either offended or embarrassed you.

But why should anyone have to change their behavior just to suit another person's expectations?

These types of put downs can leave mental scars deep within our psyche which are a detrimental to our growing up process.

They contribute toward shaping our character and can lead to people feeling less motivated and at odds with themselves when it comes to coping with life.

So to get the best out of your life you need to reestablish contact with your inner child.

Invite it forward and listen carefully to what your inner child has to say.

Listen and learn more about your potential.

Learn how to release those suppressed and repressed emotions and feelings and finally make your inner child happy and playful again.

Listen and understand why your inner child was unhappy and help it find ways of resolving that unhappiness.

Listen and respond in the way that you would have loved to have been responded to at the time those events originally occurred.

Now is your chance to find and fix any and all negative feelings and emotions that your inner child has been suffering from.

To do this I want you to go back in your mind now.

Go back to a time when you were experiencing the issues that have been bothering you recently.

You might need to go back to somewhere between 3 and 8 years of age.

If so just let your mind wander gently back in time,

Shifting carefully through the memories of the past as though there is no such thing as time.

Let your mind travel back now and see or feel or experience or simply sense yourself becoming smaller and younger and younger and smaller.

It may feel as though you were swirling through a long dark tunnel or traveling over the bridge of time.

You might experience yourself as a vast beach with the ocean before you and the sands of time to the left and the right representing your past and your future.

Whichever method you decide just allow yourself to drift gently back.

Allow yourself to gently go back until you are that young child again.

Now visualize yourself watching a huge screen with the movie being shown on it.

You are standing there in that house where you lived,

The home that you knew as a very young child.

Look around the room and notice how it looks.

See the window,

The table,

The door,

Perhaps some shelves,

Another furniture.

See yourself as a small child.

Notice your hairstyle and see what you are wearing.

How high do you come to and what are you doing?

Perhaps you have a toy or a favorite game or book.

Or maybe you are with someone else.

If so,

Notice this other person and know their relationship to you.

How do you feel?

Are you upset or happy?

Identify a time when something bothered you but you had to suppress your feelings or emotions.

And as you watch your child self on the screen,

Know that during the whole of this experience,

The you that is here in this room and at this present moment in time will not,

I repeat,

Will not experience any distress at watching your inner child.

Instead,

There will be feelings of calm and curiosity because you really want to learn more about your inner child and how to help it.

And as you see or sense yourself at the time something really bothered you,

Perhaps you are experiencing strange feelings.

Are you aware of what's happening?

You may be frightened or upset or there may be other deeper emotions.

I want the Aldo you who is here now listening to me to go back and visit that young innocent inner child.

See yourself as you are now stepping forward to meet your younger self.

Introduce yourself to your inner child and quickly make friends with your child self.

Put your arms around them,

Embracing them warmly and comforting them.

Listen to your inner child's concerns and tell it that you understand.

Reassure your inner child that you know they did their very best because you know it.

They had always done their very best.

Tell your inner child that from now on you will be there for it whenever your child may need you.

All it needs to do is to knock on the door of your subconscious mind and you will instantly be there to calm and comfort.

Offer reassurance and guidance.

The more you listen to your inner child the more you learn.

And if anything should start to bother you again in the future,

Whether it is in your dreams,

Your daydreams or thoughts,

Know that you can go back inside and contact your inner child to find out exactly what the problem or problems might be.

You now know that you can pinpoint and correct whatever it is that's causing you concern with the help and guidance of your inner child.

And at last your life will become stress free and a most wonderful,

Enjoyable experience.

Now what may happen in the future is that sometimes you just get that gut feeling that you want to go inside for a short while and visit your inner child self.

And although consciously you may not be aware that you are with your inner child,

The deepest part of your mind experiences a feeling of total unity within.

And this creates beneficial sensations of harmony,

Joy,

Contentment,

And inner peace.

Notice how you now feel differently about any and all feelings and emotions which may have been troubling you,

Having made friends with your inner child.

You instinctively sense that from now on everything is going to be fine.

Everything will work out for the best as your subconscious mind continues to protect you in a way that allows you to develop your full adult potential.

It is time now to say goodbye to your inner child.

Firmly assure your child that you will come back and visit,

Just like your inner child can visit you.

And as you return to normal waking consciousness,

Bring back with you new learnings,

New possibilities,

And new adventures for you to explore.

Say goodbye for now as I count from one to five,

And at the count of five you will be wide,

Wide awake,

Feeling already wonderfully invigorated and ready to allow these suggestions to work for you.

One,

Two,

Three,

Eyelids beginning to flicker,

Four,

Eyes open,

Five,

Eyes open,

Wide awake,

Mind and body returning to normal.
