Inner child healing, a guided visualization

[Intro] Hello, and welcome to Empowered to Thrive. I am so glad that you've joined me. I'm your host, Corinne Powell, and today I have a special and a little bit different type of episode for you. I'm offering you a guided visualization to give you space to get grounded, to connect with your past, child, self, and to experience what it is that I offer people during sessions. Walking through visualizations, speaking to one's inner self is something that I'm passionate about. It's something that allows me to connect deeply with other people, and it allows me to connect deeply with myself.I've found much healing through guided visualizations such as the one I'm offering you today. And I invite you to get comfortable, to create 10 minutes, and to experience all the goodness that is intended for you. Now I invite you into a guided meditation.

Corinne: Now I invite you into a guided meditation. If you're able to get yourself into a comfortable position, whether that's sitting or lying down on a piece of furniture, your bed, the floor, whatever it is going to be most relaxing for you, please do. And if you feel comfortable enough to close your eyes, sometimes that can help with the visualization.

But whatever the case, I want you to feel safe and I want you to feel as much at ease as you can. So figure out your most comfortable position. And then allow yourself as much as possible to walk with me through this visualization.

For some of you, I understand it's easier to see things in your mind's eye. For others of you, this might feel like a task. And just know that as your guide, I am here moving with you and sometimes you might feel like you need me to lead the way.

That's all right. We're safe in this moment. Assess the situation around you and assuming all is safe around you, let's ground yourself in that place of safety by reminding yourself that in this moment, there is nothing that I have to fear.

Nothing that I have to be afraid of. I want to remind your body. Everything's okay right now. In this present moment, everything's okay. You're safe. To that little girl, that little boy, the little person you used to be, I invite them in close.

They are welcome here. They're allowed to lay down. They're allowed to jump up and down.

They're allowed to do whatever they need right now. Anything is okay. We don't mind them.

We give them permission to be the child they were. I'm so sorry for the times when you needed to be able to jump up and down. You needed to be able to shout.

You needed to be able to tug on somebody's shirt and get them to look at you and notice you and listen. I'm so sorry for those times when nobody responded, when people told you to stop. You deserve to be able to be a little child.

There's nothing wrong with acting like a child. There's nothing wrong with being a child. And as a child, that's exactly and precisely what you're supposed to be.

I'm sorry that the grown-ups were asking you, the child, to be what they wanted, what they needed to the beautiful person that you are today. I see us offering you a warm embrace. Is there any person, any human, any representation of spirit that feels loving and safe enough to you that you can receive a hug from them? Whoever is coming to mind, whatever is coming to mind, open yourself up to receive that embrace from that person, from that spirit.

And as you're being held in that embrace, feel the warmth, feel the comfort. Allow yourself to relax into it. Breathe deeply. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Absorb the love. Absorb the comfort. Absorb the attention that is being given to you.

The love that is being given to you right now because you deserve every ounce of it, every second of it. And you can stay in this place as long as you need. Yes.

Just stay in this place as long as you need. I want to remind your body. Everything's okay right now. In this present moment, everything's okay. You're safe. What would it mean for you if you could live in that reality? If you could feel this feeling, safety, comfort, rest.

Remember this. Take note of this feeling so that you can recall it at other times in the future. Whenever you feel ready, you can open your eyes.

You can come out of the visualization. And if you're happy to just stay there right now, just stay there. Enjoy that. And go back to that place as often as you need.

Much love.

[Outro] Now you might be needing more time to sit there and rest and be. And if that's the case, I don't want to interrupt you.

But I do want to offer to each of you a free resource. It includes a workbook that you can download and print. And also a video lesson that you can watch through YouTube.

This is all available for you through the link in the show notes. One click and you're going to access the workbook which also contains the link to the video. This is something that will offer you actionable steps you can take.

It will give you information on some of the core concepts that I teach. And it will give you journaling prompts that you can do something with. So it's worth your time.

It's worth going and grabbing. And it's at no cost to you. So go ahead, link over to the show notes, pick up your free Keys for Change workbook.

And if you are feeling like what you experienced today touched something deep in you and you need more of that, please know that this is the work that I regularly do. You can reach out to me and book a session. And I will walk you through similar but yet more powerful visualizations.

Because they will be directed towards you and only you. This one is personal but it's made for a crowd. The ones in a private session are designed specifically for you.
