S2 Ep17 Unlocking the Power of Self-Parenting for Healing - Meditation

Send us a text

Hey, beauty,

For a lot, but not all, Self-Worth starts at home.  Many clients I see typically have issues around self-worth from how their parents or siblings treated them.

In today's episode, we go back to the start, back to your beginning in this mediation, and it's from there that you take control and care for your needs and wants because, let's face it, no one knows what you need more than you.

We start by diving into a unique meditation wherein you witness your birth and express gratitude to your birth mother. Experience what it feels like to cradle your newborn self in your arms, whispering the words you’ve yearned to hear.

 As we navigate the essential elements of self-care, you’ll discover how to nourish your body, mind, and spirit, meeting your needs with respect and kindness. 

 End your journey feeling ready to be the loving parent for yourself that you've always desired. 

This episode is a powerful guide to self-healing, empowerment, and creating a life that aligns with your deepest desires. Let's redefine what it means to parent ourselves. Tune in!

With Love,
Em xx

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Em, and this one is going to start a little
bit differently, just becausewe're going to go into a
meditation, and this meditationis designed to help you to step
into the role of your parent,start start yourself the way

(00:21):
that you want it to be.
And when we're younger,sometimes we don't get what we
need or what we deserve or whatwe love because of different
reasons, but I want to empoweryou now to step into the role of
being your own parent andactually giving yourself and
providing the worth and thevalue and the importance to you

(00:46):
that you deserve.
And so I'd like you to start,if you can, just by closing your
eyes down.
And if you're obviously ifyou're driving, if you're
operating any machinery this isnot a good idea to do this right
now, so just come back to it.
But if you are ready, justmaking sure you're sitting down

(01:06):
or you're laying down and justgently close your eyes down and
when you, just to focus now onfilling up your lungs so that
your ribs expand outwards as youinhale and then they contract
as you exhale, and so reallybring your attention.

(01:28):
You're imagining you'reinhaling and pushing your ribs
out sideways and as you exhale,your ribs come back down, so
you're really filling up thatcavity around your ribs.
As you breathe, nice and steady, nice and easy in and out, just
letting that breath movethrough your lungs.

(01:51):
And as you continue to breathelike this, now just allow it
just to become a little bit morecalmer, just allow yourself to
feel calmer, moving this oxygenin and out of you.
I want you now just to allowyour body to relax.

(02:13):
Just command your body say I amrelaxed, I am calm, I am at
ease, and just notice your bodystart to respond to these
commands that you give it as youstart to just drift a little

(02:35):
bit deeper now.
I want to invite you now to goon to a journey.
You're gonna go all the wayback in time, all the way
through every year, every day,every minute, all the way back
until you arrive at your ownbirth.

(02:58):
And wherever that was, whateverspace you're in, you were there
standing.
There is the adult version ofyou and you're witnessing your
own birth, and so add in anydetails that you know already,
add in anything that you knowthat can help to build this

(03:22):
image, this environment, and asyou witness your own birth, I
want you to first of all,acknowledge your mother, or the
woman that brought you into thisworld, and I want you to show

(03:43):
her the respect andunderstanding that you now have
after witnessing your own birthand seeing yourself come into
the world and what she wentthrough, what this woman, your
biological mother, went through,and as you witness the baby

(04:06):
being wrapped up and your mothermay be holding the baby, I want
to invite you now just to goover your own, sit down on the
bed next to her and when sheoffers you the baby, you're
gonna take the baby into yourarms.

(04:26):
You're taking yourself intoyour arms.
I want you to look into theeyes of your mum and I want you
just to say to her you can rest.
Now I've got I've got them.
Now they're with me and I knowexactly what they need, I know

(04:48):
exactly what they want, and justwatch the relief, watch the
happiness just wash over as yourelease your mum or the woman
that bore you into this world,as you release them from the
pressure of trying to know whatyou need it, and as you look

(05:13):
down at this beautiful baby.
I want you to know that thisbaby is you and you know exactly
what this baby needs.
You know exactly how to carefor it, because this baby is you
.
I want you to whisper all thewords in this baby's ear that

(05:36):
it's needed to hear, that you'veneeded to hear your whole life.
You're now parenting yourself.
You are now being the lovingparent to yourself.
I want you to tell this babyhow precious they are, how smart
they are, how loved they are,how worthy this baby is, how

(06:01):
perfect this baby is.
I want you to rock it gently inyour arms and tell this baby
you're always going to take goodcare of it.
You know exactly what it needsand as you witness this baby, I
want you to witness the changein yourself as well knowing what

(06:25):
you need, knowing how to takecare of yourself, and a lot of
the time it's just instinct.
It's just learning and actingand following your instinct.
But now you know what a babyneeds, and the baby needs really

(06:47):
good food.
A baby needs to be hydrated.
A baby needs really good sleep.
Baby needs its body to be heldand cuddled and touched.
A baby needs to be moved around.
A baby needs to be told thatit's special, and then it's

(07:08):
loved, and then it's enough andthen it's a gift.
So I want you to look at the way, now, that you take care of
yourself.
Are you giving yourself enoughtime to rest?
You praising yourself throughyour life, whether it's your

(07:29):
work or the way that you takecare of yourself or others?
Do you say nice things toyourself?
Do you nourish your body withreally amazing, healthy food?
Do you hydrate yourself?
Do you move your body?
Do you allow yourself to betouched and to touch others?

(07:51):
And these are the basics oftaking care of yourself.
These are the very basics thatyou deserve, and so, again, as
you look at this baby, I wantyou to understand that, as you
take care of this baby, you alsoneed to take care of yourself.

(08:14):
Now.
You know exactly what you need.
You know exactly what you needto hear.
All those words you didn't hearwhen you were younger, you can
say them now.
You're in charge of theparenting.
You know which way this has togo now.
You know your dreams, you knowyour creativity, you know the

(08:36):
work that you want to do, youknow the path that you want to
follow.
You know what your passions are, and so take care of yourself,
parent yourself the way that youalways wish you were parented
and allow yourself to come intofull alignment as you take care

(08:57):
of your incredible body On thisplanet.
And so just allowing yourselfjust to drift down deeper and
deeper now, just letting go ofanything to do with this scene,
with this baby, just allowing itto drift away, just with
gratitude for the fact that yourlife is such a gift and you are

(09:21):
here, honoring the fact thatyou are a miracle, that your
body came into this world andthat you're here right now.
And start to think and feelinto the ways that you can start
taking care of yourself rightnow, how you can take care of

(09:42):
yourself in the present.
What kind of things can youbring into your life?
What kind of friendships do youwant?
What kind of love do you wantto be surrounded with?
What kind of conversations doyou want to be around that are
going to nourish your soul?
What kind of movements do youlove that can help you to take

(10:07):
care of your body?
What kind of foods do you wantto bring in?
What kind of time do you wantto allocate towards preparing
really healthy, nutritious foods?
Start planning your life the wayit would be as the parent that

(10:27):
you are to yourself, and everysingle day, I want you to think
about that baby, think about howmuch love you have for that
baby, how you know what it needs.
And so every day, you say thewords I am enough, I am loved, I

(10:50):
am worthy, I am important, I ama miracle, I am a gift.
I am in high vibration.
I radiate love, I radiate lightall around me.
All those who come into contactwith me talk about my energy,

(11:12):
talk about my life.
I am part of source energy.
I am here, I am in this momentand I am choosing to live my
life the way that I want to.
I take care of myself everysingle day.
I nurture myself with food andmovement and rest and hydration,

(11:36):
and I know the things thatlight me up and I choose to do
them for myself.
I am being the most lovingparent to myself I could ever
imagine.
I know exactly what I need, Iknow exactly what I want and I
allow myself to receive that.

(11:58):
Just bringing your attention nowback to your breath.
And if you are listening tothis just before falling asleep,
that's okay.
Just allow yourself to driftoff.
But if you are ready to startcoming back, just coming back
with a full self worth ofsomebody who is receiving

(12:23):
everything they need, everythingthey want, allowing yourself to
fill up with worthiness,knowing that you deserve to
receive all the good things inlife, allowing yourself to feel
whole, allowing yourself to feelheld, allowing yourself to feel

(12:44):
