Unless we connect with our Inner Child state in a safe setting, the Child Within will remain isolated and alone.
Unless we reclaim our childlike feelings, sensitivity, wonderment and aliveness, our Inner Child will remain wounded.
Unless we do this Now, we will find it so difficult to feel WHOLE.
The Inner Child refers to your emotional body.
Carl Jung called it the
'Divine Child'. Emmet Fox called it the 'Wonder Child'. Charles
Whitfield called it the 'Child Within'. It is also called
the 'True Self'.
Childhood is dictated by those who raise us and often
causes scars that will take years to heal.
For the most part, our issues
go back to childhood and what impacted on our emotional and physical
bodies at that time.
The inner child remains with us all of our lives.
We are all children at heart, innocently searching for our meaning in
life.
The Inner Child is the emotional self. It is where our feelings live.
When we experience joy, sadness, anger, fear, or affection our Child
Within
is coming out. When we are being playful, spontaneous, creative,
intuitive
and surrendering to the spiritual self, our Genuine Authentic Self, who
we know deep within us, our Real Self is being welcomed and encouraged
to be present. We all have an inner child and the wounds our inner
child
received can and do continue to contaminate our adult lives. Our
parents
helped create this Inner Child part of us, society also helped with the
creation. When this child self is not allowed to be heard or even
acknowledged
as being real, a false or co-dependent self emerges. We begin to live
our
lives as victims.
Then we have situations that arise in our lives which develop into
unresolved emotional traumas. The gradual accumulation of unfinished
mental
and emotional business can lead to and fuel chronic anxiety, fear,
confusion,
emptiness and unhappiness through all of our life.
Besides the Inner Child / adolescent part, we have many other selves
which are trying to be heard and take control, without us really
hearing
the voices until we make an effort to do so. Initially, it is very
important
to tame the Inner Critic part of us. That voice from the past often
keeps
beating up our Inner Child. This voice invades whatever trauma and pain
there was in our childhood. The wise Nurturing Self part of us can
learn
to stand as a protector self for the Inner Child. It’s the job of the
Nurturer
to be loving and self-affirming. This part of us can also teach the
Inner
Critic a new job of support instead of beating the Child self up, and
can
love the Inner Critic so that the Inner Child self can relax and not
have
to work so hard.
Your inner child is the key to healing and recovery. Unresolved
abandonment keeps people separate from this essential part of self.
Being separated from the inner child and his or her abandonment issues
keeps people stuck in unhealthy, dysfunctional, and/or toxic
relationships.
