AFFIRMATION 9 - There is a Path Ahead

MEDITATION - Welcome Your Inner Child

In this guided meditation, you'll be invited to meet your inner child. You inner child is real and can be a resource to you. Getting in touch with them can be a way to heal old wounds that limit your sense of self worth and can also be a way to bring creativity, compassion and imagination back into your adult life.  But this experience, while freeing, can also bring up pain points from your childhood. Be gentle with yourself. If you feel triggered at any time during the meditation, please consider pausing or stopping altogether. Return only when you feel ready.

MEDITATION - From Resistance to Acceptance

In this guided meditation, you’ll be invited to reflect on a person or a situation that you feel some resistance to. We are not talking about anything that threatens your physical or emotional safety. Instead, what we’re looking for is someone that you tend to quickly and harshly judge, or something that triggers feelings of sadness or guilt or anger.  These are normal human emotions, but we can become trapped by them. When we do, our vision for life narrows and we cut ourselves off from the life-giving energy in us and around us. If we're willing, however, we can move past the typical fight, flight or freeze response we have and open ourselves to the radical work of acceptance and the freedom that letting go can bring.

AFFIRMATION 9 - There is a Path Ahead

Feeling lost or stuck in life is not the same as being alone. The dark valleys we often walk through can help us see new possibilities for our lives and encounter assisting forces that show the way. We're not in control, but if we pay attention we'll find that Life itself is working for our healing and pointing us to a path toward wholeness.

AFFIRMATION 8 - I Can Slow Down

Life is full of demands. Sometimes it feels that you have to hold the whole world up on your shoulders. There's no time for pausing because it seems like it's not allowed. Use this affirmation to give yourself permission to slow down, breathe and take notice that in all your trying, you're never alone.

AFFIRMATION 7 - I Am Worthy of Good Things

It's easy to get trapped inside the belief that things won't work out for you and that you're just not worthy of peace or wholeness or love. But despite what you've heard, happiness in life is not a reward and suffering is not a punishment. Use this affirmation to silence you inner critic. You ARE worthy of good things like affirmation, acceptance, healing, forgiveness and love because you yourself are a vessel of those very things.
