Inner Child Healing Journey - Part 5

Hello and welcome to Intuition Awakening.

My name is Janine and today we'll be exploring part 5 of the Inner Child Healing Series.

So as always,

I'd like you to find a comfortable,

Seated,

More lying down position,

Allowing your body to rest comfortably with a slight alertness to your posture,

Keeping your back nice and tall,

Perhaps even pointing your chin slightly upwards to help the energy travel up your spine,

Awakening your mind,

Opening your third eye chakra.

Find a comfortable position now for the next 15 minutes as we travel back by closing our eyes to that familiar place,

To that familiar park where we have been meeting with our inner child.

Inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling twice as long out your mouth,

Settling into this moment,

Feeling your body becoming heavy and relaxed beneath you,

Letting your imagination start to take over once more,

Remembering your feet upon that city sidewalk,

Feeling a gentle breeze blowing through your hair and over your clothes,

Noticing the smells in your environment.

To your left,

Noticing the familiar park space coming into view as your feet follow the well-worn path across the grass,

Through the park,

Beginning to search out your inner child at the familiar playground.

You notice today that things are a little quiet in the park,

And as you come upon the playground equipment,

You immediately notice your inner child sitting in the sand by themselves,

Noticing a worried way about them as though they may have been crying,

Noticing their expression as you come and sit beside them in the sand.

Your inner child turns to you,

Still noticing this puffiness in their eyes as though they've had an emotional day.

They may even lean into you,

Move closer.

They may even ask for a hug,

Show your inner child any affection that they ask for now,

Or if they still seem a little shy and uncertain,

Honoring that process and their emotions today by gently asking them what's wrong.

They may have quite a bit to tell you,

Or they might seem quite shy,

But for the next few moments,

Ask your inner child to express anything that is on their minds or in their hearts right now,

Anything they may have been struggling with,

Or if they need any love and guidance,

Your inner child may have a lot on their mind,

And if they are expressing themselves with you,

Just allowing whatever comes to the surface for them to be expressed and to be honored,

They are connecting with you more and more every time they meet you at this beautiful space,

And you can feel the trust starting to build in their heart towards you.

They know that you are a completely safe space,

That they can be their innermost authentic self with you.

So spend the next few moments now listening to your inner child,

Comforting them,

Giving them any reassurance or guidance they need.

Take as much time in this space with your inner child,

And as they share any worries or fears,

Any insecurities or emotions with you,

I want you to practice repeating back to them what they are saying to show that you are really listening.

Perhaps if they are saying,

I am afraid,

Or I am feeling a lot of emotions today,

You are welcome to tell them,

I see that you are feeling afraid,

And I want you to know that I am completely here now and present with you.

There is nothing to fear,

I will keep you safe.

If your inner child is wanting affection and love,

Offering that to them,

Repeating back to them,

I see you,

I understand you are wanting and craving love and affection,

And I am here now to provide that for you.

We can work together to feel all the love,

Support and affection that we deserve,

That we crave.

I hear you,

And I am here now.

I will let the music play now for a minute to allow you some time to connect in with your inner child,

Repeating back any reassurances that they need,

Spending this quality time with them.

Wonderful work.

You are doing absolutely wonderful work.

I am so grateful that you are doing excellent on this journey to connecting with and meeting your inner child.

As you give them one final hug goodbye,

Perhaps one last kiss on the forehead,

You can see that their mood has shifted quite dramatically.

There is that spark inside of their eyes again,

A playfulness,

A joy.

They know that you are a safe space,

That they can come back to this park at any time and connect in with the adult version of themselves,

This loving version of themselves that is always there to support and to comfort and to guide them.

As you stand up and gently turn to leave the park,

You notice your inner child has some friends that have shown up and they leave you now to go play.

A smile comes across your face,

Grateful for this connection that you have been working on and building with your inner child.

You have truly made progress and it feels good.

You know that even though some of the emotions that your inner child may express may be difficult,

Some old wounds or traumas may come up,

Or perhaps it's just uncomfortable noticing this discomfort that they are experiencing.

Just knowing that all of this is natural and normal as we explore these deep and beautiful parts of ourselves.

Continue to go down this path,

Coming back to this park space and repeating this exercise with your inner child as many times as you need.

I'm sure your inner child has much to speak of and much to say.

For some of us,

This exercise may take a repetition or two for our inner child to speak up,

To use their voice and to really get comfortable with expressing themselves.

Just know that no matter where you are on your inner child healing journey,

Whether it comes easily or difficult to you,

Whether you feel happiness and joy or some sadness,

All of your experiences are valid and completely normal as you explore these beautiful parts of your soul.

So as we start to come back to our body now,

Turning away from that park space and our happy inner child who has gone back to playing with their friends on the playground,

Gently going back out of the park to that city path,

Feeling the breeze upon our skin,

Noticing back into our body,

Feeling the heaviness in our limbs,

Feeling our breath rising and falling in our chest and in our abdomen,

Gently wiggling your fingers and toes.

And whenever you are ready,

Opening your eyes,

Coming back to your space,

Coming back to your day.

As I mentioned,

You are welcome to repeat this meditation as often as you need it.

Anytime you feel emotions bubbling to the surface,

Use this practice of following that familiar path back to the park and asking your inner child,

What's wrong,

My dear?

Listen to their emotions,

Their reflections,

Their thoughts,

Validate and reassure that they are heard and seen,

That you understand and give them comfort in knowing that you are always there for them.

They can come to you at any time to express their innermost feelings,

That you are grateful and welcome them into your life.

And notice how our mood can change simply by validating our own inner experience.

Thank you for joining me today and spending this time with yourself and your inner child.

I will wrap this series up in a final part six coming soon.

Thank you so much again.

Namaste.
