Mothering A Hidden Aspect Of You: Healing Shame

Welcome to this self-compassion practice where we will work on loving the parts of us that hold shame or parts of us that we repress.

This healing will bring us closer to our most authentic selves.

I invite you to find a comfortable seat where you will not be disturbed.

Make yourself as comfortable as possible,

Either sitting or lying down.

Go ahead and close your eyes and breathe deeply as we travel into this sacred healing space together.

Each and every one of us,

There is a part that we keep from the light.

Just out of sight,

Perhaps at a fear of abandonment,

Rejection,

Or at a fear of realization,

It lives in the shadows of ourselves pushed into periphery only to get glimpses of breath,

Of warmth,

And sunlight.

This is the part that collapses out onto the floor when we are finally alone and the doors are closed.

This part of us is asked every day to retreat,

To stay just out of reach.

And at a certain point,

This is no longer a conscious effort,

It is a learned mechanical mechanism.

But since it is learned,

It can be unlearned.

So for these precious moments,

For this practice,

Let's invite this part of ourselves out of the depths and up to the surface.

Call on your guides,

Your angels,

And ancestors of the highest dimensional frequency to guide you through this practice and ask that they support your healing.

We're going to begin by simply connecting with your breath.

Breath deep into your belly,

Slowly filling up with air.

And slowly release,

Little by little,

And let out a small sigh,

Releasing that energy.

Begin breathing deeply into your throat now.

Let this out slowly,

With a sigh.

With your mind's eye,

Feel into your body,

Into your throat,

Into your heart space,

And into your center.

And gently seek the place where this part of you is kept.

It might be quiet or it might be painful.

Is it the pain in your neck,

The tightness in your jaw,

Or that lump in your throat?

Our energy does not lie.

It guides us.

It speaks to us.

So ask yourself,

Where does this unspoken,

Unrealized part of you live?

Breathe into this place,

Reassuring safety,

And lovingly and gently invite it to the light now.

Grant yourself the permission to allow this.

You are safe to do so.

You are held in loving light.

As this part of you begins to surface,

Please know that everyone has this part of themselves.

You are not alone by any means.

Extend this understanding and compassion deeply to yourself.

Breathe into your heart space.

We are taught in our lives what is accepted and what is not.

If a part of you was deemed unworthy by others,

Know they couldn't extend acceptance,

Not because you are unacceptable,

But because they themselves lacked the light and knowing needed to unlearn what they had been taught.

Know that this part of you is deeply and unconditionally worthy of love.

Worthy of being seen,

Worthy of standing under the light of the warm sun,

It is worthy of living and breathing as an integrated,

Shining part of you.

This is an ongoing process of consistent invitation,

A consistent offering of love and safety.

This is a practice.

Know that this part of you is listening to the love you are offering now.

So let's speak directly to this part of you and tenderly mother this aspect back to the light.

The ego will try to judge and alter these feelings,

But we do not need to name or understand this part of you in order to offer it love.

We only wish to invite it from the darkness to be held in loving light.

Continue to breathe deeply and slowly,

Connecting to your breath.

Try not to push feelings away if they surface.

There is great release in realizing.

You are safe to feel absolutely anything that is true for you.

If there is pain,

It is purposed and it can bring you to freedom.

Breathe deeply.

We are going deep into the waters of you now.

Continue to connect to your breath and in your mind,

Picture a bright,

Blue,

Loving light floating just above your head.

This blue loving light is here to help you move the energy in your body and aid in your healing.

It is an angelic light and knows exactly how to assist you.

Invite the silver-blue light through the crown chakra at the top of your head.

Invite it slowly through the midline of your body.

Feel it light up every chakra as it glows brighter and brighter through your body.

It goes through your third eye,

Down into your throat chakra.

It lights up your heart space,

Into your solar plexus,

Down into your sacral chakra,

And deep into your root.

Feel the love that is always available to you.

This energy is coursing through your body now.

With this part of you at the surface,

It is also enveloped in this angelic blue light.

The light is holding this precious part of you like a newborn baby,

A pure little thing.

I invite you to nurture this part of you as you would a baby.

Breathe as you rock or sway gently from side to side.

Place a gentle hand on your heart as we speak directly to this tender part of you now.

I invited you to the light today,

Little one,

To remind you I am still here,

Clearing more and more room for the light of forgiveness.

I am still here,

Plowing the path deeper and deeper into the waters of myself.

My love,

I am so sorry the world has wrongly taught me to forsake you.

You are a worthy part of my soul,

A worthy and purposeful aspect of myself.

I will be here to invite you to the light as often as you call for me,

To remind you of your worth,

To remind you that I love you and that it is safe to be.

Know that I am working to love you even deeper with every breath that I take.

I accept you as you are a part of me.

I honor you for you are a part of me.

I love you as you are a part of me.

I love you with no condition.

You are perfect as I was created perfectly whole,

With you as a blessing,

A teacher,

And a guide.

I release the pain that repression causes.

I learn from the pain as it is a call to my heart,

A call to love every part of myself more deeply,

Reverently,

And wholly.

Little one,

Rest now in knowing I am returning home.

I am returning home.

I am home.

I am whole,

And I love you.

Feel into your heart now as I invite you to lay this tender,

Perfect baby down to rest in the bliss that is unconditional love.

Let this part of you rest wrapped in the love you have gifted.

Come back to this practice as many times as you are called.

Remember,

The light is always there to hold you in unconditional healing love.

The light is always lovingly calling to you to embody your most authentic expression.

You are here in this life to live exactly as you are.

Your being is purposed.

It is important.

Nothing is by accident.

You were divinely created to shine your unique light.

Let this light shine.

This world needs you,

Dear one.

Bring your awareness now back into your physical body.

Wiggle your fingers and your toes.

And when you are ready and grounded into your body,

Open your eyes.

And remind yourself again that you are held divinely in this healing.

You are divinely guided at all times.

It is no coincidence that you have found this,

And you are deeply and cosmically loved.
