Ten Stages Workshop deep meditation on making contact.

Ten Stages Workshop deep meditation on making contact.When we speak of listening with compassion, we usually think of listening to someone else. But we must also listen to the child within side us. Sometimes the child in us needs all our attention. That little child might emerge from the depths of your consciousness and ask for our attention. If you are mindful, you will hear his or her voice calling for help. At that moment, instead of paying attention to whatever is in front of you, go back and tenderly embrace the wounded child. You can talk directly to the child with the language of the child within, saying, “In the past, I left you alone. I went away from you. Now, I am very sorry. I am going to embrace you.” You can say, “Darling, I am here for you. I will take good care of you. I know you suffer so much. I have been so busy. I have neglected you, and now I have learned a way to come back to you.” If necessary, you have to cry together with that child. Whenever you need to, you can sit and breathe with the child. “Breathing in, We go back to my wounded child; breathing out, I We take good care of my wounded child.”
