Healing the Inner Child Meditation

Many of us know that all human fears and anxieties are laid down in childhood. The character of each of us also begins to form during this period. Therefore, we can safely say that our childhood remains with us for life. An adult realizes that now he has become different, therefore he perceives himself as a small person separately. At the same time, the little creature lives all the time inside our consciousness. If in childhood he was often offended or not given due attention, then it will remind him of this all the time.

Louise Hay developed the Healing Inner Child meditation for those who feel lonely and defenseless. This meditation is designed to get rid of fears and self-doubt.

The creator of the technique was born in a poor family. From childhood I learned what hunger and cold are. When she grew up, one of the beautiful days she decided to get carried away with non-traditional methods of treatment. Then she became a pastor and began writing books on psychology.

When Louise became very ill, she decided to heal herself with the help of her consciousness. Meditation helped her in this. To date, she was able to help other people to get out of a difficult situation.

The above meditation gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in childhood figuratively and, with the help of this immersion, try to change the present. Therefore, this technique is needed for those who sincerely want to get rid of childhood experiences, which, in turn, greatly affect the present.

There are a lot of examples when problems coming from childhood do not give a person an opportunity to self-actualize. For example, if at school age the child was offended by peers and he felt his worthlessness, then in adult life he will not be able to find a companion, will be closed, will not be able to realize his abilities.

To fully come to the perception of such a concept, you need to realize that the term "inner child" is the personification of one of the most important parts of a person's inner world. It is this part that contains various memories, both negative and positive, as well as fears, skills, early experiences, etc.

It is this part of the human soul that is responsible for the joyful perception of any event. Each of us remembers well the taste of ice cream that we all ate in childhood. It was incredibly sweet and enjoyable. We remember this moment, and now, as adults, to please ourselves, we also eat ice cream.

At an early age, every child tries to draw or sculpt something. If he is praised, then he tries even more and creates. As a result, such a person can grow into a talented artist or sculptor. AND in this, children's experience, namely the "inner child", will play a huge role.

When no one pays attention to the creative vein of a little artist, he begins to slowly withdraw into himself, and his abilities fade away. If such a person, as an adult, wants to revive the craving for drawing, then meditation called "Healing the Inner Child" will help.

The conclusion is that the "inner child" is a certain period of time that has remained in the distant past. However, this time period can have a negative effect on the present and future life of an adult.

This technique was created for people who have become adults. It doesn't matter how old you are. It must be done so that pure and fresh emotions awaken in your soul. And they will certainly create new ideas in the minds that will help move on in life.

It should be noted that your “inner child” may be in such a state - be depressed and scared, etc. If you observe intransigence in your behavior, inability to ask, and the like, then you need to learn how to deal with it. In addition, negative expressions and emotions in your character also indicate that your "inner child" is depressed.

In some individuals, inappropriate behavior is expressed in the fact that they, as adults, cannot understand this in any way. Such people are infantile, do not work and do not study, they try to live at the expense of others. Therefore, they need to start working on themselves. Otherwise, they will undergo final degradation.

To do this, you need to find out exactly how your "inner child" manifests itself. If he is not completely healthy emotionally, then you will be uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable, then you need to do a healing meditation and bring your general state of mind to balance.

Meditation will help you make contact with the “child” inside you. This technique will push you into an emotional storm. Do not be surprised that during the practice you will experience sadness, joy, guilt, nostalgia, and other feelings.

Do not be afraid of the surging emotional storm and let it happen. If you feel like crying, then cry. If you feel like laughing, then laugh.Meditation is done to revive your senses.

Now let's get down to the main action.

• Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

• Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Repeat these manipulations several times.

• Your body should gradually relax from the crown of your head to your toes and hands. Imagine that this relaxation touched the very tips of the fingers and returned again to the top of the head.

• After that, you should feel your body and be aware of your current age, as well as the momentary state of your mind. Think if you saw everything.

• Next, imagine that a child appears in front of you. It can be a boy or a girl (everything should depend on your gender).

• The child is you. You are about five years old. Imagine what it looks like. Remember yourself little, in what you are dressed and shod. Watch your child.

• Then mentally stand up, walk up to the child and extend your hand to him. Take the child's hand in your palm. She is very small. Sit down next to him and feel the growth of the baby. Look into his eyes. If you really want to kiss a child, then kiss him on the cheek, palm. Be sure to pay attention to the baby's reaction.

• A child's eyes should tell you a lot. Look if they are sad or with a hitch, what color they have: brown or blue. Remember this moment. You've now gotten to falling in love with yourself. Your hopes are in the eyes of this kid. Take your baby in your arms. Let him press against you. Feel its warmth and let your heart respond to this gesture.

• Think about whether you can now protect this child from someone else's influence, whether you will make him upset all the time. Ask him to tell you what he expects you to do. Promise the baby (ke) that you will now take care of him (her), protect and please.

• Think about the fact that you and only you can protect this child. From this he will feel cared for and will cease to be afraid. The kid will no longer worry about not living up to your expectations.

• Hug your "I", that is, the child, and promise to always protect him. Know that this is the most precious thing you have. The baby is your inner feeling.

• The child must understand that he is heard and that you always remember about him.

• At the end of the session, place your baby on the floor and slowly release your hands. Take a look at his face. It shone. His appearance has changed, and it became clear that he glows with happiness.

• Take a few breaths in and out again and open your eyes.

These guidelines will make your practice more effective.

• For yourself, you need to indicate the reason why you have a desire to engage in meditation. Good reasons will stimulate diligent practice.

• Don't start activities that seem too boring to you. Better to start small.

• Plan ahead for the time you can set aside for meditation. If you like to sleep in the morning, then it is better to do the technique at lunchtime or in the evening. Do your meditations at regular hours.

• It is better to practice in a certain place that will be quiet (without the presence of children and animals). If you are unable to perform a pose, such as the Lotus position, then use a chair to practice. Sit on it with a pillow under your back.

• Track all the changes that occur with your body and mental activity. For convenience, keep a diary and write down in it all the processes that seem important and progressive to you.
