A Prayer for the Wounds

A prayer of love for
my wounded heart, my wounded parts,
my wounded cells, my wounded beliefs,
my wounded thoughts, my wounded nervous system,
my wounded neurobiology, my wounded brain,
my wounded meridians, my wounded chakras,
my wounded body, my wounded aura,
my wounded spirit.

For my wounded inner toddler,
my wounded inner child,
my wounded inner teenager,
my wounded inner young adult
and my wounded adult within
that yearns for a loving remedy
to mend all the lingering hurts and deep painful wounds.

For the parts within that still hide, ache, yearn, dream,
are terrified to be seen, fear being heard,
scared to be known - even by you.

Dear Sweet Child of Life, You Are Correct!

You are very correct.

You are so very correct.

You have always been correct.

Everything you did was correct.

Everything you do is correct.

Everything you will do is correct.

Everything you want to do is correct.

All that you do, is correct.

All that you are, is correct.

All that you ever do, is correct.

What you are - is correct.

How you are - is correct!

Who you are - is so very correct.

For every time you cried, withdrew, hurt, got abandoned, avoided,
lashed out, reacted, stayed quiet, for every time you held back,
did what you did, didn’t do what you were expected to do. 

It was correct!

For every feeling you had, didn’t have, didn’t know how to express,
didn’t know why you felt that way,
expressed too quietly, too aggressively or not at all. 

It was correct!

For every thought you’ve ever had that limited you,
for every misguided thought you believed to be true,
for every thought that judged you or judged others. 

It was correct!

For every time you protected yourself, hid yourself,
shied away from others, spoke out too soon, got frightened.

It was correct!

For every time you were made wrong or felt wrong, felt sad, got hurt,
lonely, misunderstood, got yelled at and yelled back. 

It was correct!

For every time you shut down, went quiet, dissociated, avoided,
felt helpless, hopeless, weak, trapped, got angry and couldn't show it.

It was correct!

For every feeling you have ever felt,
for every emotion still stored in your being,

for every word you have ever said or not said,
for every thought you’ve ever had and thought it was wrong,
or thought you were wrong,

for every belief that misguided you,
for every action you took to protect yourself,
for every aching need you had that never got met,
for every moment of your life you you did what you did, 

for every neural pathway that never got formed,
for every sensation that felt incomplete,
for every thing you did and you got punished for,
for every experience where you didn't feel safe,
for every moment you couldn't be your beautiful divine authentic self...

It was correct!

You are correct!
