take a slow, deep breath in andexhale fully With each breath.
Invite your body to soften andsettle.

(00:45):
Take the time you need here,simply breathing and allowing.

(01:05):

protective.

(03:07):
Notice if your child self iscarrying pain, maybe some fears
or sadness or old beliefs thatwhisper things like I'm not good

(03:27):
enough or I don't belong.
Maybe your inner child was ahard worker because they
believed that if they didn'twork so hard, maybe they

(03:50):
wouldn't be so loved.
Whatever those feelings orfears or old beliefs are, just
allow those to surface gently,without judgment.
It can be tender.

(04:12):
So take your time here, maybenow place a hand over your heart
and imagine extending the otherhand to your inner child.

don't need to carry this anymore.
We are safe now.

(05:00):
We're okay.
Now.

limiting beliefs that they'vebeen holding on to, and watch as

(05:24):
these burdens dissolve into thegolden light, transforming into
peace, clarity and love andlove.
Offer your inner child a tenderembrace, one that says I love
