Bringing Your Inner Child Home

This guided visualization invites us to re-remember and re-experience our deep connection to Mother Earth:

Walk through the forest.  Feel the spongy moss, hear the crunch of leaves, notice the roughness of small seed pods underfoot as you step. 

As you wander, look for an opening at the base of a tree.  It is rimmed with gnarled roots.  Allow yourself to step into this hole and gently drop down, down, down into the belly of Mother Earth.  Sense fully the elements of this place.

Listen to the silence.  Smell the moist, humid soil.  Begin to wander, knowing you are safe here.  Be aware of the energy around you.  Part of us flees as a young child when we are afraid or misunderstood.  We flee to the warm, safe belly of the Mother. 

Take time to slowly explore this place and you will find your inner child energy that fled here.  Ask this essence of you to come back with you.  Make a love agreement with this gentle energy;  if she will come back with you, you will protect her and integrate her back to her soul family. 

Clasp hands with your inner child and walk back through the dark, rich womb of Mother Earth.  Up, up, up through the hole at the base of the tree. 

Give thanks to the tree and the One Mother for allowing this journey.   Skip, twirl, and fly, knowing you are whole again.  Spend each day seeing the world through the eyes of your child.
