Healing the Inner Child
Healing the Inner Child
With the continual healing of my Inner Child wounds, I find myself choosing growth. Which is a difficult path, always leaning in to my pain, shame and fear, feeling it, listening and learning from it. It means taking responsibilty for myself, choosing to be honest, and of course vulnerable.
I could easily take the path of blaming myself and others, and in the spirit of sharing honestly, of course this happens often, I am a wife and mother. Lots of blaming goes on in families, but I own up to it when I see it. There is no growth in the path of blaming, only more suffering.
We all have deep hurt, grief, shame, guilt, anger and fear. These can be massive motivational drivers for us to be better, do more and prove ourselves to the world. But who are we really seeking the approval of? Ourselves? Do we need to do that now?
With all of the generational trauma, conditioning and beliefs our parents did the best they could at the time. We all do, but what if you could unpack, understand and unbecome who you were to be who you really want to be. Sounds good right?
Experiencing emotion is a part of the human condition.
To be human is to experience the feelings, it is an integral part of our journey. If we deny, avoid, suppress or ignore them, they will find a way to talk to us through pain and suffering. They are our internal guidance system, it’s how we learn to be in the world, by listening to the signs and signals, right?
What if we ignored the sign of a car coming towards us, what do you think would happen? You know it, smash. In any given moment our magnificant human body is signalling, talking and communicating with us, through our senses.
Our 6 senses of feelings – touch and energy feeling, sight, smell, taste, sound and mind. This is an intricate system of such complexiety we can’t even fathom how it was designed.
Somewhere we lost trust in ourselves, in our magnificent human body. We were told what to do, feel, say, think, and believe about our life. It’s no one’s fault, it’s just how humanity has evolved up to this point. Things have gotten so out of hand, with illness, disease, environmental problems, isolation, materialism, we have forgotten what it means to be human.
In getting to the root cause of this problem,, we must do the deep healing of the inner child.
Unpacking and Understanding our Wounds
It’s not pretty, it’s not easy, but it’s better than living a half life. After the unpacking, understanding and unbecoming, we need to start from scratch. Rebuilding who we are, what we need and what we truly want in life.
During the sharing of stories, we heal. Knowing and understanding that the experiences of suffering and pain are universal. We all share in our pain and grief, the hurt, disappointment, anger, shame, fear and guilt in being human. Allowing you to loosen and soften and let go of your grief. Creating new ways to deal with, comfort and support yourself and others. Healing the collective wounding of humanity. To create peace and love on earth.
