Your Inner Child Isn’t All Wounds And Trauma

She also holds a fountain of wisdom.

Your innate gifts, way of being, your portal to joy and play.

With all this work around inner child healing, which is essential and profound work that I do with all my clients, I’ve seen that it’s equally important to look at what our inner child offers us beyond what we need to heal.

I do see my fear as the expression of my inner child’s fears.

This allows me to have so much compassion for myself and for that fear. It also allows me to address the fear at its core, where it was originally created.

Left unbalanced, it can potentially lead to some resentment, as well.

Like one of the ladies in my School of Love Inner Circle recently experienced.

She expressed that she was starting to feel a little but annoyed with her inner child – all her fears and worries are really f******g with her life.

So, I asked her to dig into what her inner child has to offer beyond her wounds and traumas.

What makes her amazing?

What was she great at?

How easy was it for her to access joy as a child?

Let’s get intimate with all her blessings, too.

She is amazing. Let’s see all her facets.

I immediately felt my client’s relief, and that of the other women in the group.

I’ll give you my own little personal example of this.

The other day, I was journaling with “Nana”, my inner child.

I asked her what she would like to do for fun.

She gave me some answers I understood and expected, such as sing, dance, walk barefoot outside.

And then I heard her say, “Make flower arrangements.”

I wrote this down with a literal question mark next to it, because I didn’t quite understand it.

The next day, I saw a post on Instagram by my (insanely) talented photographer, saying that she was co-hosting an event where we would experience medicine music and get the chance to…wait for it…

Put together our own flower arrangements in a special workshop!

My jaw dropped and I immediately booked my ticket.

I experienced this event last Saturday, and the most accurate word I have to describe it is, “lush”.

It was exactly what my little wise inner child needed.

Thank you, Nana.

Thank you for your wisdom, your open heart, your curiosity. I love you.

So, as you explore your inner world and that of your inner child, remember she holds more than your tears and fears; she holds your strengths, gifts and wisdom, too.

With love,

Diana
