visualize this

a young you, your inner child is upset. they’re screaming, crying, bleeding from their heart because of everything they’ve held in. the abandonment issues. the loss. not being heard. not being accepted. you can see your small self silenced by those around you.

see your inner child. see your reflection. see the pain & wounds they carry in weighted bags, that no one else helped with. look at your inner child in this room. alone. screaming. crying for help. no one helps. the wounds have been building and now you are here.

you walk up next to your inner child as they throw the greatest tantrum. tears flowing. the pain physically evident. and you have a choice. you can leave your inner child like everyone else or you can hold them tight. you can be the person that stays.

imagine yourself, holding your inner child. picture yourself holding on tight to that little girl. that little boy. that little whomever. image yourself holding onto a little you, who is kicking and crying. imagine yourself holding on tightly to the wounded kid no one could help

imagine yourself kissing the wounds, holding them tight with all of your life. hold your inner child. give them the comfort you so desperately need. save them. image you are rocking them, holding them until they quiet down and feel your embrace. feel your comfort.

look at your inner child and tell them you are there. you have you. you never left you. you love you. you are you and you will always be you regardless of what others do. hug your inner child and hold them tightly. they are safe. they are secure. you are safe. you are secure.

try this as a visualization or while you’re meditating.
