We all have an inner child within. Our natural source of love, joy, innocence, creativity and play.
Our life experiences can contribute to the pain and shutting down of our little me’s and we lose our sense of joy and play.
It’s a crucial part of our healing and personal growth journey to acknowledge our inner child/children and bring them the love and safety they're seeking through you and your experiences.
Becoming the parent and allowing them to be seen and heard with love brings about profound shifts and healing.
Without this acknowledgment to really see and feel them, they (you) get stuck in triggering patterns and behaviours, still feeling scared, abandoned, alone and trying to seek a place of love and safety from the parent/caregiver that couldn't meet their needs.
We can spend a lifetime still trying to get our needs met in every person and situation we meet (attract to us), hoping that one day we will feel seen, heard, loved, accepted, validated, good enough, worthy…
And it's a very real yearning and state of being from our little me's. We have to acknowledge them as very real little people, because they are us.
We are in pain and suffering as a result of their pain and suffering, but we just don't realise that.
We continue to go through life projecting our pain and craving what we needed and didn't get as children.
So how long do we want to keep waiting?
How long do we want to keep suffering?
And of course, the answer would be, we don't!
