Inner Child - Meditation

Re-establishing the connection with my free and fearless inner-child is very important to me. As a child, the world was the most exciting place, the biggest adventure. My imagination was unencumbered and limitless. I wanted that back, and this has aided me in retrieving some of that freedom.

“To dream the impossible dream…” and to believe with fearless trust that I can achieve ANYTHING!

As always, you will need a quiet space, where you will not be interrupted. You may want to lie down, or if you prefer sitting up, that is good too. Your preference.

Once you are settled and ready to begin, take two or three deep breaths to relax your body and quiet the mind. Feel your entire body melting away.

Feel yourself gently drifting back though your life… when you stop drifting, you turn around slowly and see before you your most happy childhood memory playing out.

When you still believed that everything in your life was perfect and whole. You still had faith in your parents and the world around you was still unscathed by hurt and fear.

Take note of what you were doing and where you were... Who you were with… what you were wearing… what you looked like.

Now remember how you felt. The innocence, and the belief that everything you could dream of would be provided for. Remember that all you had to do to have your needs met was ask and you received, whether it was care, love or protection.

Slowly, reverently approach that child, stretch out your hand and introduce yourself. When you shake hands and look deep into that child’s eyes. And recognise in them the fearless, unwavering faith that he/she is special, loved, cared for, safe and protected.

This is you. How you felt when you were free, but something made you lose that fearless faith

This is what you want that for yourself again. So your reach out to that child, envelop that child into a warm, gentle embrace.

Feel the warmth of the embrace starts to infuse your whole body, first your chest and stomach, then your arms, legs and feet, and finally, your neck and head as this child starts to dissolve quietly into you, completing your being.

Bringing back to you that part of yourself that you have lost along your journey.

Feel the freedom, faith and trust, whole and complete that integrating your inner-child into your being brings you.

Give thanks to that child for becoming part of you once more as you feel yourself as whole and complete again.

Close your eyes, stretch out your arms beside you and just fall back faithfully. Knowing that you are safe -you fall onto gentle hands that carry you steadily back to the present.
