Here, in outline, is the dissolving identities meditation that we use on this level 3 course, which is taken from the book 5GATEWAYS book...

Identity dissolving meditation

• Set aside some free time to sit quietly in a still room, with candlelight, incense and soft music.
• If possible, acquire a picture of yourself both as a child between the ages of two and four, and as a teenager between the ages of eleven to sixteen. If no pictures are available, simply visualise yourself as closely as you can at these times.
• Go within. Connect first with the sense of your inner child. Use your intuition to locate the feeling of it somewhere in your body. Connect visions to the feelings. Build up an accurate picture of your experiences. What behaviours did you exhibit? How did you feel? How were your parents towards you? What activities caused you pain? Which activities gave you joy? Build a general feeling of your inner child identity at these times.
• When you have built up as much feeling and connection with the child as you can, simply rest in awareness of it, whatever may be arising for you, including sadness and pain.
• Next, connect with you inner teenager identity. As before, build up a picture of your experiences. What were you frequently feeling? What was your general state of mind? How were your interactions with your friends, family and teachers etc? What behaviours did you exhibit? What gave you joy, liberation and feelings of completeness? When did you get tight, depressed or lacking in self confidence? Re- encounter all of these experiences and build as complete an internal picture as you can.
• Now once more, use your intuition to locate where the teenager identity is within you. Invite the teenager to connect with the child, recognising that they are related; the teenager was likely formed as a subconscious protection mechanism for the child.
• Now project out from yourself both the inner child and teenager (plus any other identities you may feel have been formed). Have them sitting before you. First know yourself as not them. Whatever suffering has been generated, it is not you that is suffering. Settle into the realisation that you are already free from them.
• Next, through your thoughts, invite both personalities to forgive those who might have caused the pain, suffering or conditioned behaviours to form. Help them realise it was not the fault of parents, friends or adversaries, for they too were all conditioned by society. And by the Law of Attraction, you drew to you every experience, in order to release attachment, evolve and grow.
• Once you feel the identities have been able to forgive, focus on healing. Visualise powerful, golden, healing light bathing the identities with unconditional love. See them surrendering into the light, healing and steadily dissolving. The sense is that they are returning to the Source.
• Once you have finished this process, it may be that layers of the identities still exist and you will have to work on them again at another time (you will know when they are fully ready to depart because you will feel it). So, if still there, bring the identities back inside you, but know they now have less impact on your life, because they feel they have received the loving, healing attention they require. Keep performing the meditation, and notice over time, how the identities are becoming more content, healed and increasingly transparent, until at some point, they disappear completely.
