A week ago I had a difficult memory come up for me - I walked into a situation that I wasn’t prepared for and it was an incredibly ouchy day. This happened over a year and a half ago, but I hadn’t been willing to touch it.
Cue my new tool I’ve been working on: meditation trance to speak with Little Me. Did it in my circle a month ago and it allowed me to connect with my inner child and hold her during some hard relationship feelings that definitely connect to my attachment issues.
Anyway…
I sat on my partners bed a week ago and did it again - this time I walked through the entire day’s events and paused each time Little Me needed to have an emotion or question. There was real crying and a feeling of moving through.
I ended the session imagining her sitting by me on the bed, facing the window. It was so peaceful. An image came to mind for a sketch I would need to do.
Days later…
I was sitting and feeling hopeless for a variety of reasons. My partner suggested that I imagine what my Old Crone self would say to me. As I thought about it, I began to revisit the window sketch in my brain and added my Old Crone putting a hand on me as I sat with Little Me.
When I am struggling with future predictions and hopelessness, I now put my hand on my chest to speak to Little Me and envision Old Crone putting a hand on my back side and saying “It’s okay. You make it through”
