Inner Child Meditation for Codependency, Lack of Self Love and Negative Programming

[@armandoglowzone2559]

Its so sad that so many people grew up in dysfunctional homes. Victims of all kinds of abuse. Our little selves didnt deserve it. I hope we all heal. Much love to everyone reading this.

[@Michellechalfant]

Much love to you too Armando! ❤❤❤ Thank you for leaving a comment. 🙏

[@BitmapJack]

lack of love and attention creates fear because its the fear of death ..this traumatizes and create a feeling of clingly .to SURVIVE ,even though you dont need it ..its a natual reflex the kid crying for attention ,because they need to cry for help ,to get help..

[@ishianmalaki4671]

I agree, it is up to us to break this cycle... let's love our inner child but as well our children, hoping they will not have to deal with similar problem.

[@marklawson2871]

@Jenn Hughes amen!

[@logicallily7391]

I decided to stop this meditation in first 5 min due to the repetitive unloved...unaccepted...un...ect. This may serve a person who has just discovered that past/present abuse is affecting their whole life however, repetitive messages and imagery only bring past emotions into the present. So if this meditation does eventually get to healing, forgiveness and letting go, fast forwarding to that part would be more uplifting

Facts

[@MelaninSubliminals]

I didn't think I would cry during this meditation but envisioning myself as a small 5-7 year old child, in my green sweater and brown corduroy pants, happily dancing and laughing, it broke me. Knowing what that sweet little girl had to endure and what was coming to her. I started to cry when I took her into myself and told her that I was going to protect her no matter what. I told her the world had been cruel to her and that she didn't deserve any of it. I told her she's loveable and so so beautiful. I told her she was worthy and capable of a kind and gentle love and deserved nothing less than the world. I was such a sweet child and deep down I hope my sweetness never died. I hope that now that she's within me, I can protect her no matter what happens. I only hope that one day when I have a daughter, I treat her more gentleness, love, and care that my own parents couldn't give me due to their own emotional unavailability.

[@angiemcgee6797]

Melanin Subliminals that’s awesome that you made that step. I recently wrote my inner wounded child a letter and told her all the stuff you did. Then I told her to fly away with her broken wings and just enjoy feeling free and not being scared. I have held own to her as a crutch for too long. I’m 51 now. Our childhood was filled with pain, neglect and abuse while I was still in my mothers womb. I let her go be a child now and I’m working continuously helping my wounded adult to live as a healthy adult. Many blessings to you. You will be a good mom because I made it my life intention to not let any neglect, abuse or generational curses go past me to my children. And I did it. I have two amazing and healthy grown sons ages 19 and 25.

And for that reason you will be an awesome parent. I too was about five years old when I started feeling my families dysfunction. I am now 57 years old, a mother, a grandmother and this meditation helped me heal my inner child. I vowed to be a different kind of parent than mine were to me. My daughters are 29 and 31 now and they thank me for parenting them and loving them the way I did. They are strong independent women with a voice and opinion all their own. When my voice was taken from me I made sure my daughters had theirs . It is an awesome feeling to look at these two human beings that are healthy and know that I broke the cycle of dysfunction, you will do the same and your children will be as healthy and happy and lucky as mine are. Good luck to you ❤️

The part in the meditation that is the most healing is when you say how "I am not responsible for my parents and for other peoples emotions." This releases heaviness right off my chest.

[@LoveLivingLifeEveryDay]

WOW! So powerful! 🤯🙏🏻 Yesterday I asked myself why..why do I feel empty inside so often? Why, when my life is truly amazing and I have so much to be grateful for. Why haven’t I ever felt comfortable in my skin. Why do I feel like I have to be loved by a man to feel complete. I did some research and came to the realization that I have been a codependent adult that struggles with self love. Then I came to you tube to find a video that may be able to help me change it. I had no idea the pain and struggle that was still buried deep within me. I thought I had gotten over a traumatic time in my childhood. I had decided years ago it was time to get over it. I thought I was over it. Through the use of this video I found out it was just tucked away. On this journey I went back to my 8 year old self. To the first time my ex stepdad inappropriately touched me. To this day I still remember the whole scene. From the night gown I was wearing, him standing behind me, then him reaching down the front of it and fondling my pubescent breasts. After that day I experienced fear until my mom left him when I was 14. My inner child was scared every single day, wondering when the next violation of her body would occur. She felt guilty for not telling anyone. Guilty for allowing it to carry on for so long. My inner child cried so hard. That part of my life happened over 30 years ago and the pain I felt today was so incredibly fresh. It was very therapeutic. Today I am able to make sense of this feeling I have carried around for so long. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me heal. I WILL love myself. I AM ENOUGH! 🙌🏻❤️👏🏻 🥳

I have two younger sisters. The messaging I got is “I am replaceable” at 3 years old, as well as “don’t speak unless you’re spoken to.” I never knew how to vocalize my feelings, wants and needs. Today I am learning the tools to heal. What a great meditation.

[@mw6267]

I was one of the identical twins growing up in late 70es. It is like i did not exist. i suffered but by the age of 6 knew no one would help. We were an unexpected addition to the family who got a grown-up, smart and perfect son. somehow we knew we weren't welcomed. about an year ago my brother- a 56 bolding man told me that our birth ruined his life. well, just like his parents' apparently.. Being twin in an emotionally frozen household was horrendous.

[@candacetaylor27]

I was so afraid that you would direct me to simply talk to little me and then have to leave her behind in that situation. I was crying with frustration thinking she'd have to stay there because she explained that she was afraid. When you allowed her to come with me she got the biggest smile and jumped inside my chest. She cuddled up inside me and was instantly healed and loved. I'm so grateful that you allowed her to come with me. Beautiful meditation!!

[@ruthburgess1050]

When I first heard of inner child work I thought it was a load of rubbish. How very wrong I was. I’ve now done this meditation countless times and the healing it has brought to my childhood traumas has been profound. We can’t change the past, but we can transform our response to it with work like this, and also transform our lives now. Thank you so much Michelle. ------ For anyone else who is sceptical I’ve written a quote out from the meditation which for me is the most powerful truth of this work: “This beautiful child gets another chance, with the help and direction of you and your healthy adult self. The mind does not know if this is happening now or in the past, in your imagination, or in reality. It is all the same to the mind, for there is no ‘time’. This process reparents this wounded child and gives them a fresh start.”

This mediation makes me cry so much everytime I do it. But I also feel a little stronger everytime I finish it.

Same with me, in a dark grey room, sitting alone on the floor,her back turned to me, didnt see the face, only responded to me with a hug,no communication. I was crying so hard,still am.

[@zXJulianXz]

I don't know what came over me. I went back to a picture on the mantelpiece of me when I was just a baby. With a dummy in my mouth, I looked at the camera. There is fear, uncertainty, a type of despair. When we connected behind the door, I felt overwhelmed by grief and loss. I hugged him so deeply. He was never given a chance, so he carried on wilting without love's nourishment. But I am healing. We are looking out for each other. We will find love, out there as much as within. And we will help others make this transition of forgiveness. Thank you. This was incredible.

I forgive my parents who are both gone now and I am moving forward instead of staying stuck in my story. Blessings and empathy to all. You deserve to heal, find deep peace, and be set free from the chains of trauma. ❤️

I cried...if you could give me some feed back I’d really appreciate it. At first I couldn’t see the door, then when I opened the door it was just dark, I kept looking for myself and couldn’t find me anywhere then remembered I physically hide/used to hide to hide my active emotions...the best place to find myself was in my room. I was on my bed crying into my pillow. Was maybe 7-8 years old. Then I just started sobbing and had to pause this because she started comforting me...I’m supposed to be comforting her and just like I’ve always done...put myself to the side for someone else. I guess I need to buck up, go back to her and let her know I’m here to help her and to stop worrying about me...taking care of her is how she takes care of me....

[@nicoleowens2318]

I have listened to dozens, if not 100+ different meditations on KZbin, this is the first I ever felt I needed to comment on. Thank you so much for this meditation, it helped me more than any other by far. Normally I struggle to visualize what I'm told to, or I go in and out, but I saw so clearly not one but many of my younger selves, from toddler to teen, and felt all of their pain at not being loved, how lost and hopeless they felt while being abused and put through shelters, being alone, it had me sobbing for them the entire time. Not only that, but it gave me a whole new perspective on how my older selves feel about me. It felt so good to hug and comfort my younger selves, I just held them and they all cried too, having never felt love or affection before, having never been seen. I realized that no one can love them better than I. I realized why I hurt so much now, and that it was completely understandable, because I had never been truly loved or comforted either. I thought of my daughter and how affectionate I am with her, and how I never received even a fraction of that, but that I deserved it, my parents just weren't capable. So much healing just happened for me, it was unbelievable. I even felt my older selves with me, looking back on this moment and pretty much telling me "see? We're here with you too. We love you just as much. You've always been strong and good and worthy of love, you just didn't receive it and therefore didn't know, but we're here to support you too." I really can't believe how much this did for me, I can't even express how grateful I am for this meditation, it opened my eyes to things I couldn't have imagined before. I really needed this. I even sat with my "selves" for a while afterward and talked to them, telling them they wouldn't be lost forever, that they just hadn't met anyone yet that could love them properly. Just thank you so much, you have a gift, truly, thank you for sharing it. ❤❤❤

That was the most profound inner healing I’ve ever heard from any one as of yet. I only hope that I can reach that place inside myself and reach that inner child and love them and understand that anything that may have happened in their past can be revealed and healed without any shame or fear. See I was born in an area where I was told that children should be seen and not heard and because of that I was never able to open up and reveal all the turmoil ,sham and pain that was going on in my young childhood life. I’m so grateful to those of you who are willing to share your stories of pain and sorrow. Just wanting to reach out to anyone and know that I’m not alone in the world and that I’m still worthy of being loved and of loving others. Thank you , you are a great inspiration to those of us who have still not connected with her or his inner child and how easy it is to reach out to oneself and give self healing. Thank you so much for sharing your story you are a beautiful soul and strong soul .God bless P.S. The Angels are with us all.

I just did this mediation , since i am pondering about what happened to me in childhood ,I have many memories. This was the first time I able myself to look into the eyes of me in childhood when i was six years of age, first time i took my little hands and hugged me and told me how much I love me and all the beauty i see in that child that is me. I cried the whole time. It was magical to go back in timeline and talk to me as a child. I felt as if she were alone there and waiting for me to come. Thank you soooooooooooooooo much ,I will try it again through thought since she is definitely with me now. She is going to see many great things happen for her.

It was so nice to just be present with her. But when it got to the merging with the inner child part.. she started crying and getting nervous. Even if what you know is scary, the unknown can feel a lot scarier. I understand. I think I’ll be doing this meditation a couple more times. My inner child needs gentle consistency and patience 💛

[@nodolle]

Girl as soon as we took that first breath I started sobbing. I went back to baby tori at 3/4. so so so sweet and innocent.. she reminded me of willow trees and azaleas, waterfalls and streams. I cannot stop crying even while typing this. you saying that she gets a second chance really helps me.. I feel like my entire childhood has been wasted emotionally neglected, alone, hating myself and absolutely rolling in pain over my family and their dysfunction and what it had on me. this was so healing.. I need to go back through to go through all my grade school ages.. I feel like they are all so broken.. Thank you for posting this, this shit heals and helps the world! I was wearing a little pink butterfly dress and white shoes with pink striped socks

[@sharnijones5478]

As soon as you said you are loved.. I just started crying. My parent was very unstable. Dhs was in our lives alot. I saw me at the age of like 2 or 3. Brown wavy hair, pink headband, rainbow dress and a big smile. This was very powerful! Thank you 🙏🏼💚

[@emlauren7547]

That was one of the most healing cries I’ve ever experienced, thank you for this.

[@natasha495]

Thank you for this. Truly fantastic. Had tears running down my face as my inner child was just sitting there , in the dark room, crying and feeling alone and neglected. Time to change that. So powerful.

[@Michellechalfant]

Natashi K Wow Natashi, it sounds like you experienced quite the shift and are ready to do some new work. Grateful to hear you had such a deep experience. Thank you for writing about it. 🙏❤️

[@louisag2708]

This was surprisingly negative for me. Instead of letting go and having compassion for my little self, I felt guilty during the meditation when you said that little innocent children should never have to emotionally look after their parent. It’s not their job. I agree and I felt so guilty because for about five years I’ve subjected my own kids to that to an extent since I have been so depressed. I’m out of that now and stronger now and my kids are balanced and happy but I felt a huge amount of guilt with this meditation. Where to go from here I don’t know.

[@beth38368]

Thank you ❤ my route causes of heartbreak in relationships have been attracting Narcissistic men or toxic. I'm almost 36 and finally realise that my Narcissistic mother and alcoholic step father really impacted my life now as an adult. I have two children myself and have always wanted them to have a better life than me . I felt so emotional when I saw my younger self again , I feel some release now thank you

[@aqualex99]

wow ... i cried a lot and after it ended i feel so light as if a lot of weight has been lifted and vanished, thank you so much for this meditation

[@dand2392]

This thing is intense. Don’t give up in the first half. Especially if you have anxiety issues. Sit there and listen.

[@vixter28]

I just did this & I cried for my little girl so hard, 1/1/21 need more healing this year 🙏🙏 Thank you so much 😊

[@josalast]

This was so powerful to me. I've been in therapy for too many years and after a change of professional considering how deep my emotions became after the quarantine we started looking at my inner child and how many "little things" that happened in my childhood have made me the way I've been until now (insecure, without confidence, with low self esteem and having relationships with attachment issues). My therapist gave me a list of emotions and I decided to go after the feeling I had when I was little and suddenly I came to this meditation. When I saw myself small I couldn't stop crying, she smiled when she saw me, I caressed her face and without hesitate she hugged me. I felt so light weighted when the meditation was over and the only thing that I was able to do was Hug and kiss my daughter and let know that no matter what could happen she is important, special and very very loved. Thank You!

[@louis-pierretessier6297]

Thank you Michelle. May all children, young or old, be loved unconditionally.

[@londongirlonthemove9458]

This was so powerful and it's like the finally piece to my self love journey....healing my inner child who took on the emotions of the adults around her....feeling burdened with guilt and responsibility and growing with anxiety and limiting self beliefs...I cried throughout the meditation but from my heart I thank you for this ❤

[@sabrinasmith933]

londongirl onthemove I hear you and I see you. I’ve literally been making life decisions to satisfy my parents until last year I took charge and I had the most panic attacks I’ve ever had. But it was my breakthrough. I relate to your self love journey. I’m writing ebooks now on self love

I used to be cold and emotionless. Going through this opened me up again to life and feeling alive. Thanks ❤️

[@Beautyforashes613_]

The best inner child mediation I’ve ever done! I feel so cleansed. I cried the whole time. I envisioned the day my dad left.... I felt abandoned and unlovable since then. I opened the door to my inner child and before I could say who I was. She grabbed my hand and hugged me.. that’s ALL I needed as a child. Just one hug from my mom and dad letting me know that I was loved. They never could do that. 😢. It’s ok though. Bc I gave it to myself! Thank you for this.

[@wholesomecorephilosophy4198]

So my inner child lead me into like a victimhood fantasy, as if something really awful had happened when I was a child, I am still not sure if I forgot things or what but I just held space because I wasn’t feeling triggered by it and I realized that my inner child was creating elaborate things to get attention because no one was really paying attention to her or connecting with her, she had no self because she had not been acknowledged and had space held for who she is. I held her and watched her and gave her a plant, she (I) love trees and nature and plants and I could feel her feeling a sense of self, knowing she loves something, she was (is) happy and she (and I) am grateful for the space and attention we cultivate together, the care in knowing what we love and what brings us joy❤️

[@y.amandasyaputri5723]

Amazing! It's cool! I'm back to 11-12 yrs old of Amanda. This is my most traumatic period in childhood (though it was teenage) where my aunt kept pressured me to get the highest marks in school & she yelled at me if I didn't get the highesr marks despite everyone knows I'm smart. I met 11-12 yrs old Amanda wore Secondary School uniform with braided hair (my hairstyle when I was student). She said "Don't leave me". While writing this I remember to that incident (my aunt yelled at me) but I'm not sad anymore. Thanks a lot, Michelle. Another amazing thing is after my inner childhood healed (on last phase of meditation) I can find my Divine Masculine (DM)'s childhood trauma: bullied by his friends. My purpose of doing this meditation is heal my inner child & also healing my DM's inner child bcoz Twin Flames are mirroring each other. Once again, thank you so much.

[@cocoabeane789]

I've been struggling with codependency and all the problems mentions in this meditation. It was getting in the way and always caused me to destroy my relationships, either by letting someone abusive in or being too afraid to really let a good person in. This meditation helped so much. I feel more whole and loved. I'm excited to move forward and keep healing this. Thank you!

[@md9710]

I cried while doing this. Remembering how my mother never once in her life told me she loved me.I don’t blame her. It’s the way our culture is. My culture shows love by doing, I guess, but not verbally saying it. But I broke this pattern by telling my kids I love them every day. I can’t think of anyone that didn’t grow up in a dysfunctional home. I think we all did and is the reason our society is the way it is.

[@natheena_7607]

1:37 I began crying ! This is needed for me ! Thank you !🤍✨

[@cassidyrsieder]

I never comment on anything but I am absolutely blown away!! I’m 21 years old and I am working on healing my inner child , I pictured her in the plaid green and red long sleeve night gown I used to wear , and I was also sucking my thumb with my chipped nail polish I had. I was about 5 years old.. all she did was stand there and look at my amazed and she gave me the most biggest hug ever!! She jumped up on to me and all I did was hold her and reassure her that she IS WORTHY of love , kindness , a happy life , and that she doesn’t need to be her parents emotional / financial support system. She needs to focus on her emotions and what is in front of her. At the end , we both went up to my boyfriend and our dog Ollie and just coddled her and helped her feel safe and secure❤️ thank you so much!!!!😍🤩

[@sharonhoffer3599]

After my life fell apart in January of 2019, I was lucky enough to discover this meditation and the concept of healing your inner child. I was severely codependent and didn’t realise what an effect this was having on my life. Today, after much work on myself, including regularly doing inner child healing work, I feel like a new person, which ironically is the ME that’s been there all along. Even today I still cry when doing this meditation, but each tear I shed is a release of old wounds, and I’m so grateful and thankful to be able to do this. Thank you Michelle, your voice is so soothing🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Sending love and gratitude to you and everyone reading this 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜

[@thekarmicdf]

I didnt know i could cry my eyes out with them completely shut 😅 this was incredible. 🙏🖤

[@littlewillowlinda]

I truly don't know who my inner child is without the worry that was projected onto them. Like i always thought something was wrong growing up bc i wasnt able to have fun and now as an adult i want to support them but i don't even know what they want without competing against someone or catering to someone in the process

[@sandrabradford4573]

This has been THE best inner child meditation I have ever done

[@tdempss]

This meditation was very powerful and I definitely cried during it. Super healing, thank you so much.

[@dylon4906]

This is great, but I wish it was more general. I don't really love myself and I have low self-esteem but it's not really from my parents, they were stable and they loved me quite enough. I believe its from school. When I was in elementary school I had really bad friends and got pretty much bullied for most of it. I believe it's what caused me to think so badly about myself now. Not everyone's lack of self-love is because of their parents or caretakers and I wish this meditation addressed that. Also this video sorta made me realize that every time one of my bullies was mean or critical to me, or really every time anyone is mean to anyway, it's because of a lack of self-love. And I should never feel like I deserve people to be mean to me or abuse me or do anything negative to me.

[@ninasa8100]

I was only 8 and my dad slapped my face just because I couldn’t stop crying for my mum who fainted ! Ever since I don’t cry in front of anyone. I’m 20 and I’m healing but God it’s so hard.

[@rigormortis230]

The minute I met my inner child, I couldn't stop telling her I loved her. I could just see little me in my blue plaid school dress and I looked so confused. I gave little me a hug at first, and she didn't really reciprocate it, but I just kept telling her I loved her. I gave her room to play and be herself until she was finally ready to hug me back. Even when I zipped her inside of me, I couldn't stop hugging myself and telling her I love her. I really needed this. Thank you so much ❤️ Edit: forgot to add that I was on the brink of tears the entire time. Honestly, I just want to close my eyes and say hi to her all over again, but I know she's inside of me and I will always look out for her.

[@Jxminim]

I saw that 3-4 year old girl. The one who had to fight for her life and yet, also take care of her mother and seek for her fathers approval. The one who was conditioned to think her mother was alone because of her. The eating disorder. The suicidal thoughts at 8 years old. She was not grown. She was a baby! She is my baby. The baby who I would protect with all my strength. You are so right. We are only responsible for our OWN physical and emotional needs. No one else’s. And it’s time to release control of that. I am ready. Not only to do so, but release fear too. What a beautiful meditation, thank you for this🤍

[@Lore4849]

Omg I cried so much at this and I told her I love her she is safe nothing will happen to her she is enough. She was so scarred and sad 😢

[@sabrinasmith933]

I can’t even begin to describe how this felt. I really feel like my inner child walked into my zipper and she’s in me now. I’m crying so much in relief. This meditation was anything but calming LOL but it was super effective. The visualization is astounding. I love my parents so dearly but I understood the dysfunction of codependency and how it was showing up so strongly in my relationships, especially my previous one to the point I was getting sick. I also got massive allergies all over my body. It’s been healing and during the meditation it showed up in my left hand (I’m a lefty) and I was incessantly scratching. I held my hand and told myself everything is safe here because I was taken back to childhood trauma memories. I feel a higher inner sense of power. I’ve been working on my solar plexus but this core wound has opened up my chest and my face feels elated and energized with warmth. What a gift this recording is 💕

[@adaholm1078]

I balled my eyes out for like 20 minutes straight. I haven't done that since I was that little dude. He's taken care of now. I'm so glad we found each other finally. He will always know he's loved and can come to me for anything. And now I can finally feel my future self is looking out for me the same way, loving me unconditionally. I could feel him there before, I at least knew something was there but didn't know what. Tuned in and together at last. The love I was always looking for. Incredibly healing. Thank you so much

[@moonflower6171]

Glad your healing ❤️‍🩹

[@ishikab]

Omg i always thought why people in the comments be like they were crying and sobbing their hearts out after these meditations and after listening to it for the first time i m literally crying and feeling so emotional and overwhelmed. Thank you for this❤️❤️ Here is my experience on it:- Day 1:- i cried a lot feeling sorry for my the child realising how alone she was and how she felt at that time. About what she needs and she didnt get it because she believed she don't deserve it. I felt guilty and cry with her and promised her to never leave her and that i m with her. It feels like i lived my past again with my present one.❤️ Day 2:- today i smiled a little seeing the hope in her. I talked to her, gave her some affection, hold her hand, kissed and hugged her and told her that i m here for her everyday. And she was amazed to listen all the things i told as if it was all new for her. Today i held her hand and travelled with her in the present and showed her where she belongs. I provide her peace and support that a child needs from her parents. I m her guardian.❤️ Day 3:- Today i travelled to the past alone. I walked to the place where i lived as a child. I was at the door when i saw her drawing and painting. She was playing with water, brushes and colors mixing them together. It was the only thing she loved at that time without anyone expecting her anything about it. It was only her thing. So she was happy doing that everytime. She can do it all day. I saw her and i smiled seeing her innocence and her love for colors. I walked and asked if i can come closer to her. She was confused but anyway said hello to me. I told her who i am. And held both her hands and kissed them. I told her that i m here for her and no one can do anything bad to her. I told her what was all wrong but felt right to her because everyone was saying that to her continuously. I apologized to her and said that this will never happen again. I held her hand again and hugged her. She was uncomfortable so i gave her some comfort and support by giving my hand to her. I took her out of her house and told her about what life is. That life is much more than what she see in her surroundings. That life is much more than the tiny mistakes she has done but still felt big enough to hold herself back and felt sorry for herself. That she will someday understand all of this. And i will be with her in all of that moments. And that i love her no matter what. No grades, paintings, competitions and expectations can define my love for her. And it will not be less by any of these reasons.❤️❤️

[@erin7036]

Didn’t know I was going to cry for 20 mins but I have an overwhelming sense of self compassion that I haven’t felt in so long. Thank you.

[@gabbyyyyyyy]

I have never cried so much during a meditation. Oh my gosh! I feel so much lighter now. When you said to tell your inner child to come with you, she wouldn't come because she was still so worried about everyone else. I'm sobbing so much. I didn't realize how much my childhood damaged me. I will repeat this often. I am so grateful I found this thank you so so much !

[@iisakuu]

Thank you so much for this profoundly healing session, with lots of tears and love! 🙏For such a long time I deprived myself from feeling deeply, instead becoming something like a cameleont, adapting to the behavior and feelings of others. Seeking perfection and integrating the supposed expectations of others into my being made me so very confused, anxious and stressed. At one point the facade came crumbling down, and now as I try to rebuild the foundation I have started to explore the connection with my inner child. I'm just so sad to see how I built this armor of fear all my life, fearful of being myself, but I see now I did the only things I could to keep me safe. I could only travel back to my early teenage years this time, as there is much hurt there, but at one point I hope to go back even further.

[@enicole2090]

Whoa! From the moment this began I was in tears. I cried throughout this meditation and I was wholly engaged the full duration of this video. I will be sending this to family and loved ones because of how pivotal this mediation was for me. I visualized everything with ease and it felt amazing. I felt true joy as the video came to an end and I could feel myself smiling and laughing openly because I could feel this sense of hope and healing. Thank you so much for this beautiful meditation. It was most certainly needed. 💕

[@amandascarlett6015]

Thank you so much for this. Like many others, I cried when I visualized my child self.

Also felt energy go up my spine (was kind of blocked near sacral chakra) Will be using this again.
