A quick meditation technique born from a meltdown in my car
STEP 1 | ASK THE UNIVERSE
For this step, you need to have an intention, be clear with your question. Ex: “What is my deepest trauma?”, “When was the first time, I felt fear?”, “When was the first time, I felt unworthy?”, etc.
STEP 2 | DETECT YOUR WOUND
After asking, meditate. Pay attention to your breathing rhythm, let yourself be ok with your current present. Identify new thoughts, visions or feelings. Be the observer self. How does your body feel? What thoughts are coming up for you? Are you thinking about someone?
STEP 3 | FEEL THE EMOTIONS
Remember you are time traveling to your past. You may not even know how you were or recognize certain things or people. Observe and Feel. Do you feel your body tense up? Are you angry? Are you sad? Are you in fear? How does your body feel when you’re sad, scared or angry? It is important to not resist a cry, cough, sneeze, yawn, clench this moment is so important.
STEP 4 | CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE
You will have to split your consciousness into two, the version of yourself as a teacher, lover, caregiver, nurturer and the younger version of You. You can apply this technique to your adult self, but most likely you will experience yourself as a child or baby. Visualize yourself giving your younger self the support, love, care that you needed at that moment. Sit and be with it. Talk to the past You. Be with them, let them know they’re supported, safe, protected, loved, cared for.
STEP 5 | RELEASE
After comforting your younger self, come back to the Now. You can use affirmations like, “I choose to let go of my limitations, of what is holding me down, of the fear I felt at this moment, I let go of grief, sadness, depression.
STEP 6 | BE GRATEFUL
Thank yourself and the powerful forces that aid our journey. Make peace with this version of yourself. Realize you REALLY ARE supported. Continue to move forward with determination and Love. If you ever get stuck, ask yourself, “What would Love do?”
MOST OF OUR HEALING JOURNEY IS
about realizing, accepting and letting go of the hard truths about us. Knowing that it’s not our fault for thinking the way we do now. Although it is our responsibility to let go of any limitations once we’ve discovered them.
We’ve been conditioned to feel, think and act a certain way we’re not by the people that should have loved us but didn’t. Healing is not all about positive thinking and being nice… it is a difficult process of discovering our deepest traumas and learning to maneuver life with them.
I believe that our deepest traumas are wounds that have been preventing us from expressing our true self and they hide in our subconscious mind. If we don’t become aware of them, they can infect our thoughts, emotions and actions like a virus and prevent us from becoming the best version of ourselves.
