+ ✨ Letter to your younger self
You’re going to write a letter to your younger self.
This letter, in a way is giving yourself the encouragement, love and compassion you wish you received from your mum and dad in the way you needed. You’re going to write about what you want for them, what you desire for them and what you want to do for them.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then imagine the 5 year old you in front of you. I want you to feel their energy.
Open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear younger me,
I am the grown up you and this is what I want you to know…”
And keep writing through everything you want your younger self to know until it feels complete.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
(If you want to take this to the next level, do the “Connect with the Magic of Life” (Innocence) Meditation after writing this letter.)
+ ✨ Letter from your body & to your body
In this process, you are going to write two letters. One from your body to yourself and one as a response from you to your body.
The first letter is your body speaking to you and the second one is more like an apology for all the times you didn’t listen to your body, didn’t honour her or give her what she needs.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then imagine you’re bringing your awareness down into your body. You are your body and nothing else.
Open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear mind,
I am your body and this is what I want to say…”
And keep writing through everything your body has to say until it feels complete.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
(This letter might bring up past events such as a physical boundary being crossed, sexual or physical abuse, a medical procedure, abortion, miscarriage etc. Know that it’s ok, you’re giving space for your body to speak, to be heard and honoured.)
--
In the second letter, apologise for all the times you didn’t listen to your body or honour your body. Apologise for any times she was hurt, damaged, neglected etc. Tell your body what you will change even if it’s a tiny change. It’s a beginning of a new relationship with your body.
“Dear body,
I am so sorry for…”
And keep writing through everything you’re sorry for until it feels complete.
Finish the letter by thanking your heart for sharing.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
+ ✨ Letter to people who crossed your boundaries
In this process, you are going to write a letter to all the people who crossed your boundaries, wronged you, shamed you or judged you. This letter, in a way is going into your hurt, your anger, your sadness and speaking to your ex partners, parents, anyone who hurt you, in order to release the anger.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then imagine all the people who hurt you in the past. See all them standing in front of you. Allow yourself to feel what emotions they’re bringing up.
Open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear (the name of the person who hurt you),
I felt so hurt when you...”
And keep writing through all the times you were hurt and angry until it feels complete.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
I’d love you to be honest with yourself and truly go into those parts, to feel them fully, write them out to let it go. Don’t spiritually bypass and see the love and light in them. Give yourself full permission to feel the hurt then you can come back to the light, but don’t skip this stage.
You can swear if that is present within you, whatever comes up. We don’t always allow our anger to be there and we might spiritually bypass to forgiveness but the anger is still underneath. This is an opportunity for the anger to be felt and released.
Towards the end of the letter, you might come round to forgiving them, you might not. If you do, that’s great, if you don’t, that’s great as well. The aim to give your anger and hurt a space to exist and speak.
See this letter coming from an empowered place rather than being a victim. Rather than blaming, express your hurt and let it go.
+ ✨ Letter from your heart
In this process, you’re going to write a letter to yourself from your heart. This letter is about connecting with your heart, seeing what your heart needs and acknowledging your heart.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then I want you to slowly drop your focus and awareness into your heart. You can place your hand on your heart. Your heart knows who you are, it knows what matters to you the most. Let her energy wash over you. I want you to feel the energy of your heart.
Then open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear (your name),
I am your heart and this is what I want you to know...”
And keep writing through everything your heart wants you to know until it feels complete.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
+ ✨ Letter to let go
In this process, you’re going to write a letter to yourself of everything you’re willing to let go of. This letter, in a way is an intention, speaking out to express what you no longer need and what you want out of your life.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then bring your awareness to everything you want to let go of, feel the energy.
Open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear (your name),
I am willing to let go of...”
If you’re not ready to let go, that’s ok. Even the willingness, setting the intention to let go can create a huge shift itself.
And keep writing through everything you’re letting go of until it feels complete.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
+ ✨ Letter from your resilience
In this process, you’re going to write a letter to yourself from your strength. This letter, in a way is honouring and acknowledging all the hard times you went through. There might be many things you haven’t finished, quit, but there are also many things you went through with strength, resilience and courage.
There are many challenges you overcame and achieved.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then I want you to feel into the hard times you went through.
Open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear (your name),
I am your strength. This is what I’ve done for you...”
And keep writing through everything your strength has to remind you until it feels complete.
Be specific, what hard times did you go through?
For example:
“I helped you move into your own flat when you were worried about how you were going to pay for it.”
Is more specific than - “I helped you go for what you want”
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
+ ✨ Letter to give yourself permission
In this process, you’re going to give yourself the ultimate permission slip. You might be looking up to other people, waiting others to give you permission. This letter is about stepping into your authority and giving yourself the most amazing permission you always wanted.
I want you to close your eyes, take a deep breath. Inhale from your nose, exhale from your mouth.
Then I want you to imagine the person who you believe has the most authority. It could be a headteacher, a boss, a parent, an authority figure for you. I want you to imagine yourself as having that authority.
Open your eyes, start writing on a paper,
“Dear (your name),
I am your authority and this is your permission slip.
I give you permission to...”
And keep writing through everything the authority figure has to give you permission for until it feels complete.
(Don’t think or analyse, allow the words to come through you. You don’t have to think, just keep writing.)
