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.
