Heal the Inner Child
Healing the Inner Child
Healing the
inner child is a journey of full acceptance and responsibility for the
emotional/spiritual fulfillment and the expression of talent. The inner child
is our radiance, joy and gratitude. It is our haven, home and place of safety.
The world is rough on the inner child. Our inner child is damaged by self-hate
from childhood belittlement, negative influences and dysfunctional environments
that are aggressive and harsh. Authentic, bold and clear expression of
divinity, inspiration and freedom is through the glow of the inner child.
The inner child
is cold! We live cold! We are unavailable to the participation of life and make
excuses, dwell and stagnate our journey of full acceptance because we lack the
creative edge. The inner child is the creative edge, the divine inspiration,
the problem solver and the expander that moves us to be greater and better,
more refined and excellent. Awakening the inner child starts with grief. We
must learn breath to the unknot the chills and sweat the rigidness, tightness
and seriousness soft. Breath with expressive movement (psychological artistry)
awakens motivation and enthusiasm which dethaws our frozen emotions, bound
memories and locked fears helping us to shed the crusty self.
Why is it
important to heal the inner child? The inner child is our liberation, muse,
voice of reason and honest code. Children are relentlessly honest and
pioneers of a new culture. They have fantastic self esteem unaltered by parents
and caretakers until they are told who they are and what they offer isn't "good"
enough. They contract their wings and settle into contrast, compete and compare
society norms that teach them crusty self. They lose their soulful funk
because they do not want creative edge. They think creative edge cannot
"fit" inside the regressed and depressed conventions of life. They
are presented burdens and weak possibility and begin to shape their strong
possibility into the liking of their elders but they are not elders. They are
the natural science that revaluates, reforms and refines tradition. As we move
towards the future, creative edge is more important than regurgitate crusty
ideology. The inner child is the soul's powerhouse. It is the place where we
transform commotion and suffering into unbroken self-trust, self-acceptance and
self-other dharmic collaboration. It helps us release burdens and live in
divine timing with our vision of psychological healing and material
beauty. Through psychological artistry, which is a form of body/mind
celebration, determination and passion/concentration that awakens spiritual as
well as metaphysical intentions, manifestations and aspirations, we embody
an authentic code.
1) Embrace emotions
Holding onto emotions blocks the flow and
keeps us from sovereignty, dignity and self-expression. Let it out and move
emotions into creative direction.
2) Somatic shake (breathe, stretch, dance and
chant)
The body and mind need freedom. Do not cage
or swell the body and mind. Teach the body and mind celebration, determination
and passion and let free the exuberance and authenticity through expressive movement (psychological artistry).
3) Play without attachment (learn, study, get
involved, participate)
Eliminate the excess (material and spiritual stagnancy) and tidy the home, daily activity,
life style and environment with soulful funk (material and spiritual circulation, rotation). Tap into the fearlessness,
tolerance and appreciation. Give to yourself heartfelt nourishment!
