“When our inner child is not nurtured and nourished, our minds gradually close to new ideas, unprofitable commitments and the surprises of the Spirit.”
Brennan Manning
Our inner child sits within us. She is deep within our sacral chakras, holding onto ancestors’ knowledge. Sometimes we feel her elsewhere, usually in the location of our deepest wounds of this lifetime. It is through our healing that we bring her back to the sacral and connect with the wisdom of our ancestors. We teach her that it is safe to play, safe to dance, safe to be. With patience and nurturing, she becomes visible again.
By healing your inner child, you pave the way to becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
Even when you cannot feel her, she is always there. She calls out when she feels threatened, rejected, dismissed, scared, hurt, angry, or sad. Sometimes she is abrasive and bratty, other times she is soft and inquisitive. You can choose to answer her if you want, or you can ignore her and wait for the call to get louder.
She asks to take up space in all of your relationships, especially in your relationship with yourself. She is a part of your inner critic, your inner worrier, your inner cheerleader, and so on. She is the foundation for all of the lessons you’ve learned and most often need to unlearn as you grow. She presents herself in varying degrees through your unhealthy behaviors, attachment style, coping skills, the way you stand up for yourself, and how you love. She can either drive the car or sit in the backseat and enjoy the ride. It is up to you to decide.
