Inner Child Healing
At the core of our hearts lies our inner child.
When we start to connect to this part of ourselves, which is always present, we can start to look and heal our deepest wounds.
This is not easy work. Sometimes we have been sitting on these past traumas and emotional hurts for many years.
When we do start to look at these and open the communication up with this child self; with gentleness, patience and compassion, we will help to create a deeper sense of self love.
Until the age of seven years old everything that happens to us is lodged in our subconscious mind. This means it bypasses the conscious mind and forms a belief in the subconscious mind. For example you could have been told by someone that you are clingy, whether you are or not you are unable to discern at such a young age, but. it will become a belief that until you are able to release you will live your life through the lens of someone who believes themselves to be clingy. This then means you are likely to attract situations and relationships that reinforce that belief.

If we treat ourselves as if we were children, (as indeed we still are at our core), then we can see through their eyes at the real reasons behind why we act in ways that are not in alignment or with how we want to behave and be, or for our greatest good. We can recognise the traits that were picked up as children and see them for coping mechanisms that have helped protect and keep our inner child secure.
We can even perhaps identify the layers of our self which have. developed to keep that child safe, to manage our feelings and protect them from actions, people and scenarios that may be deemed unsafe.
In this month’s Self Love Sanctuary we will be scratching the surface on this deep healing work.
We will be inviting a soft opening of communication with her so she knows you are there and you are willing to start to listen to what messages she may have for you.
We all have traumas from when we were a child. Some obviously worse than others. This is deep healing work when we start to delve into these inner most parts of ourselves so these journeys are just to give us a sense of starting to connect with your inner child. For anyone who wants to go deeper into this work I am happy to recommend professionally trained therapists, books and even personally work with you using the modalities I am trained in.
This may take many years but to begin this is truly heroic work.
