Being a Good Parent to Yourself: A Self-Parenting Visualisation

  

So many of us did not receive the kind of parenting that is conducive to wholesome adult living. If we did not feel loved unconditionally and supported completely, we may suffer as adults, demanding from those around us the love and support that we so desperately desire. But other adults are not here to be our parents. We need to look after ourselves and if we missed out on some vital parenting, then it is up to us to do that for ourselves.

I have found this self-parenting visualisation to be very useful for instilling an inner mother and father within yourself.  Before you listen to it, think about some words that describe your ideal mother and father. They might be things like: strong and supportive, loving, kind, fun, a good listener, available. Also, think about the words you would most like to hear from each parent when you have had a bad day (“Everything will work out fine, don’t worry”) or when something negative happens to you (“I’m here for you.”) Then, turn off your phone, sit down on a chair and listen to the audio below. You might want to listen to it more than once, perhaps a few times over the next few weeks.

Being a Good Parent to Yourself

Take responsibility for your inner child today. Be the parent she/he needs and wants. Begin to give what she/he needs. If your inner child is worried, scared, hurt or alone, be there for her/him and speak soothing words of refreshing calm. Imagine your parent self looking at your child self and saying the things you need to hear. See the article, How to Love, Nurture and Discipline Your Inner Child for ideas on how to be a good parent to yourself.

If you want to become aligned with your soul and fulfil your highest purpose, then this is the workshop for you! Has your life been so focussed on others that you have lost touch with the deepest part of yourself: your soul? Would you like to re-connect and make peace with this part of you? Do you sense you need healing and cleansing of some old patterns, behaviours or memories?  

*Manifesting Your Dreams (April 16-22, 2012)   

Is there a dream bursting to come alive within you? Have you wanted to do something, complete a project or manifest something big in your life but not known how to start the birthing process? This workshop will empower you to manifest the dreams within your heart. Even if you don't fully know what these dreams are, the workshop will help you to listen to the still small voice within and find the passion that has always been there, often suppressed and forgotten.  

Marathon Therapy

Marathon Therapy in Bali   

An Intensive 6 days. Three hours of therapy per day. That’s 18 sessions of therapy in 6 days.   

Imagine staying in a relaxing, serene environment, no phones, no family responsibilities, no obligations, no work commitments. Then imagine having one-on-one sessions with a professional therapist (Psychologist) to help break through the issues that have been blocking your happiness and success. You can choose to have 1 hour in the morning and 2 hours in the late afternoon or visa versa. It’s your choice. After therapy sessions, you can relax by a pool, go for a swim or snorkel, or have a massage or pedicure. It’s up to you. It’s all about seeking your inner guidance, finding yourself again and clearing and cleansing your total being: body, mind and soul.
