So Let’s Begin…
COMING OF AGES MORNING MEDITATION SCRIPT
In literature, a coming of age story
Centers around a youth.
But in real life,
We come of age
Every day…
PAUSE
So, slow your breath,
And breathe into your body.
And as you breathe,
Allow your inner child
To come forth.
PAUSE
Take a minute
And greet your inner child.
Perhaps you haven’t seen them
In a while.
PAUSE
Now, invite your inner child
To tell you what’s on their mind.
What do they need from you?
Take a minute and just listen.
Listen.
PAUSE
Now, envision wrapping your arms
Around your inner child,
And telling them what they need
To hear.
Make them feel safe…
And heard.
PAUSE
And now, pause,
and breathe deep,
Saying “goodbye” to your inner child–
For now.
PAUSE
Now, open your heart and mind
And visualize yourself at middle age.
If you’re not there yet,
Allow your soul to create
The future image of you.
PAUSE
Breathe in,
And take a minute
To look at your middle-aged self,
To talk to them.
What have you learned?
What are you looking forward to?
What might need healing?
PAUSE
Now, envision hugging
Your middle-aged self,
Congratulating them
On what they’ve accomplished,
And supporting them
Through any pain.
Hold this space.
PAUSE
And now, pause,
and breathe deep,
Saying “goodbye” to your
middle–aged self–
For now.
PAUSE
Breathe, and breathe some more.
Allow a vision of you as a wise person
To come to mind.
PAUSE
Imagine taking the hands of
Your wise self,
Sitting with them,
And listening to their experiences.
What are they saying?
What are you learning?
What is the wisdom
They wish to share?
PAUSE
Now, take a minute
And nod to your enlightened self,
Thanking them and
Your inner child and middle-aged selves
for their insight,
That is now a part of you.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
