Time to write a letter to yourself, telling you what you deserve and why.

Find a nice comfortable, peaceful spot where you can sit quietly for a while without being disturbed. Now write the words you dare not think, tell yourself what you have wanted to hear but haven't, be the adult telling you why you deserve a wonderful life.

I wrote my own letter 10 years ago and put it away. Unexpectedly, it surfaced a few months ago, even after moving 9 times and travelling across the world.

It was like a vision quest for my future. Speaking of 'all the things I deserve in my life, not might's or could be's, or wants or needs, but things I deserve because I, like everyone else on this planet was a unique and special person.' This letter told me these things. Include them in yours too!

My letter spoke of a soul mate, and what this person will be to me, the little girl within and her finding peace and love, of my personal needs, home and finances, finding success in any business venture I seek to undertake, and it finished with love, saying it will be love that surrounds me in my future world.

All these things written long before I had any interest or understanding of my own personal spiritual journey, yet what I wrote is what has become in my world.

Write your first thoughts, do not worry about spelling, grammar or editing. It is a letter from your heart.

You may become tearful or smile, or feel nothing but peace. Whatever you feel is perfect.

Enjoy telling you what you think and feel. Enjoy hearing 'your' words.

This letter is to put away in an envelope, somewhere special. With your name and private written on the front.

I would like to share an experience of this exercise in a workshop. Using the same forward as you have just read, I sent the group of to write their letters for 20 minutes, then after just 5 they started coming back to me saying "I cant stop crying, I feel it so strongly", "I feel this letter and don�t understand why".

They went back to writ

ing and I waited, putting on a cd and singing softly. "How could anyone ever tell you, you are anything less than beautiful..how could anyone ever tell you, you are less than whole..how could anyone fail to notice, that your loving is a miracle..how deeply you're connected to my soul�Elaine Silver 'Fairy Goddess'

20 mins later, they came back all teary, but saying how good it felt. How majikal this experience was.

I formed a circle, and sat arms outspread, we all held hands and felt love. And I talked softly.

"Yes, even with the tears, comes much joy. Do you know why?

Sometimes we literally feel as that child within us. We can feel sadness and pain, but as that of a child.

Then we complain at her, saying how bad that ego part of us is. She cries inside even more.

Tonight you told her you love her. How special and perfect she is. You cared. And she cried the tears of joy. Of finally being recognized."

What was happening was an amazing experience. We sat in a circle, after feeling and sharing with our inner children, the ache of the inner child had been felt and released, the love shared with her, and her joy experienced.

The only words to describe the feeling, was peace. The deepest and calmest sense of peace possible. So we sat and shared, and floated in our own thoughts and feelings. Sitting quietly together. It was delightful.

It was a small workshop, yet it was the most beautiful experience I could have imagined. I could feel these beautiful beings, and their inner release from doing this exercise. We came together to share a moment in time and space, pre-organized as we later discussed. And we shared openly, and freely with each other. What more could any of us desire?

Enjoy your letter experience!
