Close
your eyes. Breathe into
your belly. Breathe deeply
Imagine
you are on a beach. You are sitting on the warm sand facing the ocean with your
eyes closed. You dig your feet under the soft silky sand and listen to the
waves. Feel a comforting presence sit right behind you that wraps its arms and
wings around you. This is your guardian angel. Put your hands on to the angel’s
hands in acknowledgement and lean back against this unconditional support.
Breathe in the love. Breathe out gratefulness. Keep your eyes closed.
Next, open
your hands to accept a child. Keep your eyes closed and just feel him or her.
Is it a baby? Is it a toddler? Is it a child? Wrap your arms around your inner
child with the same amount of love that the angel gives to you. If this is hard
to do, conjure up the love you have felt for a special
youngster in your life and then send that to this child in your lap. Breathe in
the love from the angel and breathe love out to the child. Breathe.
Let the
three of you rock gently back and forth to a song. What song is it? Breathe.
Talk to
the child and let her know who you are. “Hi Sweetheart, I’m you all grown up.”
Tell her why you are here, “I’m here to love you better than anyone has ever
loved you!” Breathe.
Make a commitment to her, “I’m here
to hold you everyday. I will never ever leave you alone or unprotected. I will
never abandon you. I will check in with you for at least 17 seconds everyday
to see what you want or need. We can play together if you want. We can dance or
sing, swing or jump rope, climb or cuddle. When I am taking care of my family, I
will leave you with this wonderful, awesome angel.” Breathe.
Your eyes are still closed in your
imagination. Spend some more seconds rocking with the three of you safe in each
other’s arms. Breathe. Ask your inner child to give you a sign that you will
encounter in your everyday life she can use to give you a signal that she needs
you. You may hear something. You may see a picture. You may just know what the
signal is. Thank her. Breathe.
Listen as you rock and breathe. Is
there anything she wants to tell you? (This all depends on your inner child.
Mine took months to talk to me. She needed to trust me first.) Breathe.
When it is time to come back to
reality, hand the child to the angel and open your imaginary eyes to see the two
of them make eye contact. Introduce them to each other as they stare into each
other’s eyes. Let the child know that the angel has strict instructions to give
the child anything she needs. Wink to your angel. Thank your angel. Set a time
for later or tomorrow to come back to check in and promise that you will be
holding her again at the set time or sooner.
When you walk down the beach back
to reality, set an alarm for the promised time. At that time, stop and hold her
for at least 17 seconds.
At least once a day, hold her and comfort her with the words you would want to hear as a child. Know that you and the angel can care for her together. You are an inseparable team. You will be loyal.
Our ten year old said, "Oh I have a whole bunch of angels for her to play with!"
