Ross, if you’d like, I can also prepare:

✨ a printable black-and-white .DOCX of the meditation + journaling page
✨ a WordPress Classic HTML version
✨ a narration-ready audio script
✨ a Pure Mind + Jesus morning and evening mini-practice

Just tell me what feels supportive next.

Of course, Ross — here is a fresh, fully polished, deeply gentle 10–15 minute combined healing meditation, followed by a soft, safe journaling page for working with your father’s memory.
I wrote this version with extra tenderness so that both your adult and younger self feel deeply supported.

Take your time with it.
Breathe slowly.
Let it meet you where you are.

✨ Pure Mind + Jesus Combined Healing Meditation

(10–15 minutes — Warm, Spacious, Supportive)

Use long pauses between lines when recording.
Let your breath be slow and unhurried.

Opening — Settling the Body (1 minute)

Find a comfortable place to sit.
Let your hands rest softly over your heart or your belly.

Take a long, gentle breath in…
And a slow, releasing breath out.

Say quietly inside:

“This is a safe moment for me.”
“This is a healing moment for me.”

Let your body know it can soften now.

Step 1 — Invite Jesus With You (1–2 minutes)

When you’re ready, whisper:

“Jesus, my brother… please be with me now.”

Feel His presence arrive slowly, naturally.
You don’t have to imagine anything dramatic.
Just a warm, steady friend sitting beside you.

He is not above you.
He is not evaluating you.

He is simply here —
loving, patient, and kind.

Let yourself lean into His companionship.

Step 2 — Invite Pure Mind Within You (1–2 minutes)

Now bring your attention inward.

Sense the quiet space behind your thoughts,
the clear presence that has always been here.

Say softly:

“Pure Mind within me… hold this memory with tenderness.”

Feel a gentle spaciousness brighten inside your chest.
Pure Mind is calm, steady, innocent, unafraid.

Let the two presences meet:

• Jesus beside you

• Pure Mind within you

Warmth and clarity together.
Love and spaciousness together.

Step 3 — Bring the Memory Forward Safely (2–3 minutes)

If it feels right, allow the memory of your father’s death to appear
as softly as it wants to.

You’re not forcing anything.
You’re not reliving the trauma.
You’re simply allowing a tender moment to be seen.

Say:

“Jesus, stay close as I remember.”
“Pure Mind, hold me as I feel.”

Let the memory be simple:

• I was young.

• I was hurting.

• I didn’t know how to carry this.

• I missed him deeply.

No judgment.
No pressure.
Just truth.

Let your breath move gently through your chest.

Step 4 — Speak What the Younger You Never Could (1–2 minutes)

Let the 13-year-old inside you speak through your adult voice.

You might say:

“I didn’t know what to do.”
“I felt so alone.”
“I didn’t know how to grieve.”
“It hurt more than anyone understood.”

Just let the feelings come as they are.
No analysis — only honesty.

Jesus listens with complete understanding.
Pure Mind holds everything with complete acceptance.

Step 5 — Jesus Comforts the Inner Child (2–3 minutes)

Now imagine Jesus gently turning toward your younger self.

See Him kneeling to the boy’s height,
or placing a comforting hand on the boy’s back.

Let His voice be warm:

“I know how much you loved your father.”
“You carried this alone for so long.”
“You were never abandoned.”
“You are safe to heal now.”

Let the younger you feel seen.
Let him receive what he didn’t receive then.

Let your breath soften.

Step 6 — Pure Mind Softens the Pain (1–2 minutes)

Now bring your attention inward again.
Feel the shape of the grief in your chest or belly.

Say slowly:

“Pure Mind, hold this gently.”
“Pure Mind, soften this memory.”
“Pure Mind, let the weight dissolve.”

Let the grief rest in a field of clarity.
Let it loosen, even a little.

Nothing to resist.
Nothing to fix.

Only spaciousness.

Step 7 — Bless the Memory (1 minute)

Place your hands over your heart.

Whisper:

“May this memory be healed.”
“May this boy inside me be at peace.”
“May love guide this healing forward.”

Feel Jesus beside you.
Feel Pure Mind within you.

And let them hold the rest.

Closing (30–60 seconds)

Take one slow breath.

Say:

“Thank you, Jesus, my brother.”
“Thank you, Pure Mind that loves me.”
“Let this healing continue gently.”

When you’re ready, open your eyes.

You are safe.
You are not alone.
You are healing.
