Reconnecting to our Inner Child is a vital part of awakening and healing.
Our Inner Child is a part of us that has been, for most of our life, ignored, belittled and labelled with limiting beliefs that were created in the past and play a big part in running our life now.
When we are little and encounter hurtful experiences, abuse or anything that makes us scared, the only way we know how to survive and energetically escape from those petrifying feelings of fear, shame, humiliation, hate and anger is to dissociate ourselves from them, escape from them and disappear. So we now hide in our metaphorical basement, paralysed, controlled and enslaved by the fear of having to face and experience those emotions again.
After years of growing up, we learn from our environment how to manage these emotions through blame, denial, numbing and resisting.
We blame the world for abandoning us – God, mother, father, lover, friend. But the truth is that the only person who can reject us is …us. And that is exactly what we are doing when we resist how we feel, when we try to suppress or escape our emotions. We then not only abandon ourselves, but we push others away from us.
When dealing with people with weight issues, a common reason that stops them from achieving their desired weight is the subconscious belief that being overweight protects them from being hurt, abused or rejected; That it makes them be IN CONTROL because if they make themself unattractive, nobody will get close to them and hence they will be “protected” from being abandoned, abused or rejected, which would bring all those hurtful emotions again. That is how powerful we are as creators of our life.
So, the vital step on the journey of awakening, healing and stepping into the role as the co-creator of our life is to RECONNECT TO THAT CHILD who is hiding so deep inside of our basement and we have to want to go to that place and hear that child. We have to allow him/her to process and alchemise their trauma from their past. And this is how we release that fear that keeps us now hiding and paralysed with limiting and self-sabotaging beliefs. We have to become our best parent, best friend, the best cheerleader to that child and hence ourselves; the parent and friend we so wanted and so deserved to have when we were growing up and that was not made available to us….
So, I encourage you to click here for the YouTube link and access the guided meditation in the second half of the recording, where you will reconnect to your Inner Child. In this safe and loving space, his/her suppressed, hurt emotions can be felt and acknowledged WITH EQUANIMITY and FREE FROM JUDGMENT. You will be able meet them with Compassion, Unconditional Acceptance and Love, with the intention of letting them go and letting Love in. And thus reclaiming your inherent role as a powerful co-creator of your life, so that you can start to create the life you truly desire, instead of living life controlled by fear…
