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
