Regression & Memory

Inner child adventure meditation

A Day Out With the Younger You begins in a misty meadow, a narrow path through chest-high grass leading to a sunlit clearing.

A Day Out With the Younger You is a session that begins with a slow walk through a misty meadow toward a sunlit clearing.

A younger version of yourself is waiting there, and after a joyful reunion you both settle down in the grass. You then simply hold the child while they fall asleep, with the journey ending as you both rest together.

You stand at the edge of a vast, misty meadow where the ground is soft and uneven. A narrow, winding path cuts through chest-high grass that sways gently, its tips glistening with dew.

The mist is thick, swirling around your knees and obscuring the distance, leaving only the path ahead and the ground beneath your feet.

Nothing here asks you to be anywhere else, only to follow the way forward through the cool, dense air.

What’s in it

You follow a winding path out of the mist into a warm clearing where you meet a younger version of yourself standing in a pool of sunlight.

Why do it

This journey spends time with a younger version of yourself in a peaceful place, rehearsing a sense of gentle connection and shared presence.

Where this place comes from

The meadow walk is a threshold image, a classic way into a guided journey. The clearing serves as a container, a bounded space where the younger self waits.

The act of holding the child draws on pastoral idyll and the simple, timeless gesture of mutual care.

Questions people ask

Will I get stuck in the meadow or clearing?

The journey ends with the app's closing stage, which gently brings you back. You can also open your eyes or stop the audio at any time.

What if I fall asleep before the end?

The journey is designed to guide you naturally to rest. If you fall asleep, the audio will continue and the app's closing stage will still bring you back.

Do I have to believe in this for it to work?

Belief is not required. The journey invites you to follow the path and engage with the scene, regardless of whether you imagine it or experience it.

Is the meadow and clearing real or am I imagining it?

The meadow and clearing are created through guided imagery. Whether you imagine them or experience them vividly, the journey unfolds in the same way.

Where it sits

Past lives, childhood moments, and a younger self met with time and care.

These go further than the calmer journeys. You stay in control the whole time, and you can stop any time by opening your eyes and breathing. New to this? The journeys below are a softer place to start.

Why going here does anything

The walk through the meadow is the way into the scene. The session then settles on the feeling of holding the younger you, the warmth and weight as their breathing deepens.

You gently rock and breathe in time with them, a simple shared rhythm that needs no steering at all. There is nothing else to attend to but the child in your lap and the sun-warmed grass.

Before you press play

  • 13+. Age floor set in the catalogue, not by us on the day.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
