How to contact and nurture your inner child

Your inner child will help you heal!

Do you feel as if you were negected as a child?  Are you angry or hurt by the way you were treated?  Do you want to inspire more fun in your life?

I have discovered many adults carried feelings of neglect and worse from childhood.  These events may have happened many years ago, but the feelings continued to linger and the burdens weighed them down heavily.  If you feel this way, it’s time to forgive the past and care for yourself, in the way you craved as a child.  Your inner child will help you.

Everyone benefits from calling upon their inner child!  You will be inspired to have fun!

This article will show you how.

My experience  

I am infinitely grateful I had a wonderful childhood.  I was surrounded by love and lived on a farm.  I had everything a child could ask for.  I call upon my 5 year old me on a regular basis (almost daily) and ask her “what would you love to do?”

My inner child inspires me to walk to the beach, spread my toes in the sand and jump up and down the waves.  She inspires me to go out in nature, see the pictures in the clouds and shows me how beautiful trees are.  She loves stepping on rocks, breathing fresh air and in the middle of the night, it is she who makes me go outside to look at the stars.

Your inner child will thank you! 

The very first time I discovered the importance of nurturing your inner child, I was living in a very small beachside settlement called Coral Bay in north Western Australia.   Tourists from all over the world visit Coral Bay to experience amazing beaches and the glorious underwater adventures of the Ningaloo Reef.  Most of the year the weather is gorgeous and I met the most wonderful people lounging around on the beach.  I worked at the little grocery store/petrol station at the time and this particular day, had finished my shift early enough to head for the beach.

Client Case Study – Greta

I found a couple of lovely ladies from Europe sitting under one of the shades on the beach and asked to join them.  We started chatting and the subject of icecream came up (probably by me).  In response I heard about how one of the ladies, Greta was never allowed icecream as a child, among many other things, and how she had felt so neglected.  

I shared with her my favorite icecream was Hokey Pokey and asked if she had a favourite flavour.  Her response made me realise that she felt she didn’t deserve icecream!  So I encouraged her and her inner child to come with me to the shop and I bought her double scoops, the biggest you can imagine, Hokey Pokey icecream.   I bought one for my inner child as well.

After a conversation about forgiveness (more about forgiveness later), I explained to her that she is now responsible to nurture her inner child and fill herself up with the love and nurturing she deserved.  It is not her parents responsibility any more – it is hers!  Her beautiful face beamed and licking her icescream said “My inner child thanks you very much!”  

The next day, Greta came in to the little grocery store where I worked, to give me a gift.  The gift was her voice.  She is an opera singer!  She sang to me with the most incredible, powerful voice, her favorite song, in the middle of the little store.  Wow! It was amazing.

I will always remember that special gift but especially seeing Greta’s face beaming with that big beautiful smile… because she understood.  She knows it’s her responsibility now – and she is going for it!  Awesome! 

Your inner child will thank you too!

Reflection Point: 

Think of something easy to tackle at first.  What small thing did you feel you missed out on in the past – and shower yourself with an equivelant to whatever that thing is. Keep nurturing yourself and explore the different ways you can nurture the inner child within you.

How to all upon your Inner Child

To call upon your inner child you use your imagination.  Just pause for a moment as you read this, and ask your inner child a question.  What would you love today?

Reflect on the answer. 

As I wrote this, I asked my inner child what she would love and she responded with “cuddles”, so I imagined cuddling her.  She responded with a big smile.  I remember as a child I would always ask my mum for cuddles and whilst hugging me she would say “I don’t want to rub you out!”  I imagine I gave her that same smile.

What does your Inner Child want?

To feel safe?  To feel loved?  To have fun?  To go play?  Use your imagination to help your inner child feel safe and loved.  And have fun and go play!

Set your intention to act on it!

Put it in your plan to prioritise your inner child’s request.  It may be as simple as a hug, or it could be to go for a walk, or hug a tree.  It is important to your health and well being.

Create forgiveness! 

For some of you reading this, the pain of the past is so great, it’s difficult to enjoy now.  The only way you can ease that burden, to feel harmony inside is to forgive.

Forgiveness I know, can be a little challenging at first, but I know you can do it!  I have watched incredible transformations in people after having forgiven those responsible for the most painful trauma of the past.

Forgive, because you deserve peace.
