Find a space and a time to be undisturbed. If you have an altar or scared space in your home, sit in front of it. Then close your eyes and invoke the presence of your divine parent – the divine father, the divine mother. (If this does not ring true with you, just let yourself connect with your higher power, with the vertical dimension of grace where Truth and Love reside.) Ask for divine assistance in this process.
Then imagine your birth mother in front of you: If you have a picture of her, have it ready and look at it. Let it sink in that she gave you life, and that this was a great gift to you. Say to her: “ I honor you as my mother. You gave me my life, and for that I am grateful. You are the perfect mother for me.” Then bow down to her as a sign of honor and gratefulness.
Next imagine your birth father in front of you: If you have a picture of him, have it ready and look at it. Let it sink in that he gave you life, and that this was a great gift to you. Say to him: “I honor you as my father. You gave me my life, and for that I am grateful. You are the perfect father for me.” Then bow down to him as a sign of honor and gratefulness.
Close your eyes again, and let this sink in. These are the perfect parents for you because without them you would not be here. And you, just as you are right now, are meant to be here. Then end with a prayer to your Divine, a thanksgiving to the creator, the one who created you and your parents.
If you feel like it, you can write your experience and insights in your journal.
