Your Inner Child Meditation

The Courageous Path

This is a meditation, called Your Inner Child, to connect with that inner child part of us ... to enlist her/his help for our expansion into the highest and best version of who we really are. I often will guide clients in guided imagery to make friends with their inner child, that little girl/boy part of us, and ask it wants for us, what it needs, and what it is willing to do to help us. We all have been wounded in some ways in our childhood, and these wounds can get buried deeply in our hearts and minds. Sometimes, they surface in bizarre ways in our life, unconsciously below our level of awareness. When we take the time to go inward (and using a modality like hypnotherapy/guided imagery is often one of the only ways to move past the resistance of the conscious mind), we can excavate what has been imprinted in ourselves, digging out the root of the issue. It's amazing what will come up when we go deep into the subconscious and connect with the inner child.... sometimes they are scared, angry or very helpful. The ideas that can come up for action steps are what our hearts know are truly right for us. And the healing that can result from this work can be truly life-changing. Heads up that this can be very emotional! I recommend ensuring that you have a safe space wherever you are to safely process afterward, allowing the feelings to be released. ---------- Merging the spiritual with the real world, Rachel Horton White helps people release negative patterns in their lives, with practical tools like mindfulness, energy and intuition exercises, to connect with their true, inner selves.
