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
