Anyone who has done much personal development work will have come across the concept of the Inner Child. It’s something I have known about for a long time but somehow I’ve never really engaged with it properly. I’m not sure why I did this to be honest. Maybe there always seemed to be better healing techniques out there that I though would give me faster results. However, my mentor recently gave me the homework of listening to the video below on a daily basis. It is a recording of the Dr. Hew Len (of Ho’oponopono fame) going through his Inner Child Meditation
Your Inner Child
The idea of the Inner Child is simple enough. It is the younger part of you that was wounded by your past emotional traumas. However, it is much more than this: in some senses it is a representation of your entire subconscious mind. Sadly, I have skirted around forming a relationship with my inner child for many years. However, I have found that the process of doing this Inner Child Meditation every day has really helped. Indeed it has transformed my relationship with this part of me.
As Dr Len says in the video, once you gain the trust of the Inner Child, you can get it to do the “cleaning” (the healing of past wounds) for you “behind the scenes”. Getting to this stage has been a real revelation for me. I will blog about how I do this another time but it is really powerful! I thoroughly recommend anyone on a healing journey build up their relationship with their Inner Child. For me, this Inner Child Meditation is now part of my daily routine.
