Meditation For Healing Your Inner Child
This is a meditation for meeting and healing your inner child. In this meditation you will heal any need that you had as a child that wasn’t met and the wounds that may have developed as a result
Every person has an inner child. It is the part of us that developed between the ages of 4 to about 12 years old. These years are extremely formative and influence us for the rest of our lives.
In fact, the relationships that we have with our primary caregivers and our childhood experiences can dictate the types of relationships and situations we are drawn to as adults.
Many of us grew up with parents or caregivers who had never done their own healing work. And even though they may have had the best intentions for us, their own wounding got in the way of being there, protecting, seeing or listening to us.
Even if we had safe childhoods with caregivers who provided for us, we can have interpersonal relationships with our caregivers as children that negatively impact our confidence and sense of worthiness.
Many parents do not know how to connect with children for who they are, but try to mold them into the person that they think that they should be.
And, because most adults don’t know how to process their own emotions they don’t know how to help children to process their own.
This creates many opportunities for trauma and misunderstanding as a child grows up, and can manifest us into adults who are attracted to relationships and situations that act out the same misunderstandings and traumas we experienced as children.
We may be drawn to relationships that don’t treat us very well, feel afraid to go after a dream, believe that we are unworthy, or operate alone.
But, you can heal the faulty programming you received as children, correct misunderstandings and recover from old traumas. And we do that by meeting the inner child, soothing them, and asking them what they need.
We heal the inner child so that we fulfill the needs we’ve been longing for for so long. So that we can move forward as adults who crave healthy, nurturing and positive relationships and are able to recognize situations and people who are willing to give us what we’ve been needing all along.
