Is Inner Child work something that often feels hard, overwhelming or almost impossible? This practice is made for you to find comfort and peace with being in connection with your inner child. Sometimes it's hard to get into a healing connection with our inner child when its wounds seem to define us, when we are not capable of differenciating the frequency of our inner child from the one of our inner parent. This practice will gently guide you through your own way to emmpower your inner parent to show up and to meet your inner child with compassion and love.

Hello beautiful soul,

Human.

Welcome to this practice that's designed for you to get into a deeply healing connection with your inner child.

In order to truly be able to care for our inner child it's important to remember the inner parent that we are and to be able to distinguish one from the other.

So this journey honors your inner child,

It makes it felt seen as your inner mother or father receives empowerment,

Clarity and trust in their ability to hold yourself,

To hold what's within.

So take a moment to find a cozy comfortable position and as soon as you're ready let us start.

Okay,

There you are,

Breathe simply,

Breathe yourself into that present moment that you have gifted yourself with.

Deep inhale and exhale out,

Let go.

With every breath,

Sink into your body,

Sink into the moment and welcome yourself just the way you are.

There's nothing you need to leave out right now,

You can really come as you are.

Nothing you need to hide,

Nothing you need to make bigger or smaller than it is.

Let go,

Let go of everything that you think you should do and exhale out.

Breathe and if you wish place one hand on your belly,

One at your chest or wherever your body tells you he or she or they need some support right now,

Some reminder that it is safe to come into the body,

Into the body-soul connection to feel yourself,

Nothing you need to hide.

Hello,

There you are and as you are breathing I'm inviting you with every exhale to set that conscious focus towards your heart connection with the earth.

So as you exhale you might want to envision an energetic connection,

Maybe a loop,

Maybe a flow from your heart to the heart of the planet.

Just set an intention and see which picture finds you,

Which image,

Which feeling,

Which truth.

The earth knows everything about unconditional love,

She always holds you safely so you are safe in that connection.

Remember,

Let go of everything that tells you otherwise and think in that connection as deeply as you wish,

As deeply as it seems safe for you right now,

Supportive for you right now.

There you are and whenever you are ready I'm inviting you to give a hello to your inner child,

Give that spiritual hello call upon your inner child,

Just perceive the response.

How do you know you're in connection?

How do you feel?

How do you know its presence?

Take a moment and listen.

What do you feel?

In which way is it asking for attention?

Is it more like a pull,

More like a push,

Something loud and rebellious or maybe something quiet,

A whisper,

A shy response,

Maybe it's trying to hide.

Your inner child might respond to you through a feeling of fragility or heaviness,

Maybe the memory of an old familiar wound,

Maybe body symptoms.

Is the inner child expressing a specific need or even a specific demand?

I'm just giving suggestions so you go with what is true for you,

With what's relevant for you right now and whatever you find I'm inviting you to not judge yourself,

Always come back to compassion and love for what you see,

For what you are right now and however your inner child is showing up right now,

However big or small,

Loud or quiet,

Please connect to your heart for a moment,

Remember Mother Earth is always in connection with you,

Holding you safe and from there send that loving hello to your inner child,

Hello I see you,

Hello I see you and repeat that in your own way and pace until you can feel it and until you can mean it and until your inner child can listen,

It might take a moment,

Hello I see you,

There's nothing wrong with you,

Nothing you have to change right now,

Nothing you have to fix or heal,

Feeling seen can be so healing so for now that's all I ask you to do,

To make sure your inner child is seen with all that is there right now,

I see you.

No need to justify yourself,

To explain yourself,

To apologize,

To look for answers,

Hello I see you,

I feel you,

Feel the pain,

Feel the need,

Feel the demand,

Whatever you find,

I feel you.

You can pause the audio here if you need some time to truly see and feel the inner child and to really send that message and as soon as you are ready I'm asking you in which way has your inner child defined your life lately,

This inner need,

That inner pull,

Push or voice,

That heaviness,

That wound,

That fragility,

Whatever you find and whatever maybe didn't feel seen in the past weeks or months,

How has that defined your life lately,

Your relationship,

Your creative processes,

Your ability to feel connected to yourself in the world,

How you feel,

Just check in with yourself,

Yes you are your inner child but you are more than that,

You have wants and needs but you are more than that,

So in order to be able to take care of your inner child,

To see it and feel it and really provide for it,

We need to perceive our inner parent as well,

The inner mother,

The inner father,

So I'm inviting you to connect to that inner parent,

May it be an inner mother,

Father,

Whatever seems more suitable for you right now,

More accessible,

Connect to it by finding compassion for the inner child because the inner child doesn't have to feel compassionate for itself,

It doesn't have to tell itself,

I see you,

I feel you,

It doesn't have to understand anything,

It's the parent that feels compassion,

When it's about unconditional love then there can be compassion,

The inner child might just feel treated unfairly,

Maybe it is angry,

Maybe it is sad,

It doesn't know how to regulate itself but the parent can regulate,

Your inner parent knows how to feel compassion about someone who is exposed and who can't regulate itself,

So I'm inviting you to perceive the simultaneity and perceive the difference of identifying yourself with your inner child,

With the pain,

With the wound,

With the anger,

Maybe the many questions,

No answers and then switch to the inner parent that's compassionate,

That feels and sees and says I love you anyways and there's nothing you are doing wrong right now,

Feel the difference and feel the different places in your body,

Where does your inner parent reside and where does the inner child reside,

Do you see maybe two different colors for it,

Do you feel two different frequencies for it,

Connect to the inner parent and tell your inner child I see you,

I feel you,

I love you,

You have the right to feel that way,

That's all it takes yeah,

You don't need any smart solution,

Any answers,

What has happened has happened,

What your child needs is finally to feel seen,

Heard and to feel that unconditional love that only you can give to yourself,

You in connection with mother earth,

Maybe your biological parents weren't able to give that love to yourself,

So stay connected to that love and tell your inner child hey you have the right to feel that way,

Hello I see you,

I feel you and just breathe in connection,

As you inhale you feel the child's need,

You feel the child's cry,

Maybe scream,

Message and as you exhale you send compassion,

You realize that you are not that wound,

You are not that need,

That hole that needs to be filled,

You can feel it and you can see it but that's not what you are,

You can feel compassion for it,

Unconditional love for the need that you see,

For the mood that is there,

That's all it needs,

Remember that you can always choose whether the inner child wound defines you or just reminds you and is always an invitation for the parent in you to get into a dialogue that's fuelled with compassion and love and the message of I feel you,

I see you.

Breathe in connection and if you like find an agreement with yourself,

With the parent that you are,

What can you do these days to fill these needs of the inner child that need to just be heard,

To just be seen,

To just get some extra attention with all that is there,

To just sit and listen,

To stay connected to the pain and to the compassion for the pain,

What change would that bring into your life,

What change would that bring into your relationship,

What possibility would that create for you in your way of connecting to the world and to yourself,

To your feelings,

To your creations,

Compassion,

Mother Earth is holding you safe and if you find yourself shaky and you have a moment of self-doubt where the inner parent doesn't know what to do,

Just exhale and reconnect with Mother Earth,

She reminds you that it doesn't take a lot,

Just a safe space where you can be,

See and feel.

Thank you beautiful for this compassionate practice today,

Thank you so much for taking care of your inner needs and longings and to bring healing into your heart,

Into your past that's still your presence.

Thank you for taking time to see yourself,

To feel yourself and to heal.

I truly appreciate your courage.

Have the most beautiful,

Loving and kind rest of your day.

Thank you.
