Just some early morning musing if you will on this Mercury day. β¨οΈ
The inner child is an imperative part of our inner most workings. And requires our attention too.
It is the part of us that has laid the foundations for the adult and life experiences that we now face.
A bit about the inner child. What is it, anyways?π€
The inner child in many ways is one of the cornerstones of our personality, and inner world. It is the child-like aspects of the SELF. It is an amalgamation of all of what we learned before puberty.
It is often perceived as a semi-independent subpersonality. Which is subordinate to your conscious mind.
It, just like any other part of the inner self. Has specific characteristics and behaviors. That would be good to identify.
The inner child is the free spirited, creative, forgiving (innocent), joyful. Parts of the SELF. That experiences and feels life as a child. Bare in mind this goes for the non-beneficial aspects as well. Such as our unresolved traumas and inner wounds.
Our inner child needs to feel safe, loved and seen. This is what aids in the creating and building of the foundation for the Authentic SELF.
Here are some affirmations for your inner child. *Note* these can be said out loud or silently to yourself. You can invision your inner child saying them. Or you can say them yourself. Do what your spirit moves you to do. You can also call forth your inner child and just sit with these affirmations.
Pay attention to the sensations in the body. Ground out any heavy, negative/non-benificial feelings that may come up. This can be done by taking deep, cleansing breaths (breath in through your nose, out through your mouth, and from the belly). When your body wants to run away from the sensations and feelings that come up. Deep breathing aids in signaling to your body and your inner child that you are safe. The goal is to teach your nervous system and ultimately your inner child that it's safe.
This is a way that you can reparent yourself around those uncomfortable, unsafe, and traumatic or painful moments/places.
