Let’s face it, we all have an inner child. I don’t know anyone who didn’t pass through their first 15 years of their life unscathed. Most of came into the world crying for starters. And since learnt to bury those uncomfortable, upsetting and confusing moments of our childhood. Some of which probably does some disservice in the subconscious behaviours we purvey. It’s not the end of the world though and inner child healing is an essential part of our growth. It’s a pity it’s often ignored.

Inner child healing is the healing of childhood wounds via therapeutic work, making peace with your past, removing the victim state and shedding the layers of emotional scars that can often have us feeling trapped. It can be done with a therapist or without. With practice the gremlins can be dealt with in a quiet setting with a large dose of compassion, heart full of love and willingness to connect with that 5-year-old part of you that has been neglected.

This is no blame game. This is taking full responsibility for the way we feel. At a deep soul level, we chose our parental circumstances to learn the lessons we need to be here on planet earth. If you don’t believe me, check your soul contracts at the 9th dimension! And it’s not even in the small print.

So, how does one approach this? We all have a timeline of circumstance. Uncomfortable as it may be, it’s about revisiting that moment in time and more often than not, more than once. Take the first day of school for instance. The bewilderment, the confusion, the separation from parents or loved ones. Remember you are seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Go back and connect with the way that child felt. Respect those feelings. Because for shore if it’s arising now as an adult those feelings were not acknowledged back then.

Acknowledge the feelings, love that child. Be the parent and provide the comfort and reassurance. The chances are the little person was afraid and that, as always, can be transmuted with love.

Overcoming the hurdle of tackling the feeling is often the greatest challenge. Once achieved, it can be revisited until that moment presents no emotional response. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Love and hugs and have a good week xx
