Inner Child Meditation<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Treasures From Our Past<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Deep within each of us lives the child
\nwe once were. For most of us, our inner child lies
\nhidden beneath the layers that we\u2019ve put on in order
\nto become adults. In our rush to put on grown-up
\nclothing and live adult lives, we may have forgotten
\nthe wisdom and innocence that we possessed when
\nwe were children. In meditation, we can connect with
\nour inner child and reclaim what we have forgotten.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

You can start by finding a photo of yourself as a child
\nthat you can look at for a few moments. School photos
\noften work well to help you connect with this part of you.
\nSit in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and start taking
\ndeep breaths. Set the intention that you are going to connect
\nwith your inner child. Wait for an image of yourself as a child
\nto appear in your mind\u2019s eye. See your grown-up self hugging
\nyour inner child. Listen to what your inner child has to say.
\nPerhaps your inner child wants to give you the answer to
\na question that you\u2019ve been mulling over. After all, you never
\nneeded to look outside yourself when you were a child to
\nknow how you felt or what was true for you. You always knew
\nthe answers. There also may be an ache from a childhood
\nwound that you can now heal by talking to your inner child
\nand offering them the wisdom and perspective that comes
\nwith maturity. Or maybe you\u2019ve merely forgotten how to see
\nthe world with childlike wonder and hope, and your inner child
\nwould like you to remember how. Tell your inner child that you
\nlove them and will keep them safe. Embrace your inner child
\nand tell them that you are always there for them.
\nAllow your inner child to always be there for you.<\/font><\/p>\n

Connecting to your inner child in with meditation is a
\nvery useful tool, but you can also connect with your
\ninner child even when you aren\u2019t in meditation.
\nTreat yourself to a play date, ice cream, or a walk in the park.
\nLet yourself laugh and play more. Give yourself permission
\nto be as wise as your inner child so you can stop focusing on
\nwhat isn\u2019t important and start living as if every moment is precious.
\nYour life will be filled with more laughter and fun.<\/p>\n
