inner child – Today's Life Lessons

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: reveals a very challenging side of ourselves that makes up the sum and total of our human experience in a profound way. We are ever the child within, and many of our chosen life lessons come from our inner child’s reactions to what is taking place in our day. Even though we can chronologically grow older, our inner sanctum is forever young. That is why so many older generations will say I do not feel this old . . . even though I know many years have passed.

Our inner child emotional level never exceeds the age of 3. By this time we have been able to access our world and set our value system going forward. If we are raised in a loving, caring and safe environment, then our life tends to be generous, kind and productive. If on the other hand our beginning experiences are fearful, judgmental and harsh, we set our intentions and directions on survival and security at all costs.

The perfect balance is achieved by allowing the natural flow of life challenges to come and go in the daily river of life and become the observer of our circumstances so we can learn without reacting or shutting down our growth. When we are not in action, we are in reaction. One or the other will lead us on the roller coaster ride of life. If we don’t like what is happening . . . changing how we react to it is the first step to successfully conquering the lesson which then becomes the blessing.

CHILDLIKE= the part of us that is vulnerable or needy yet innocent
CHILDISH= that part of us that is judgmental, fearful or critical
CHILDHOOD= that part of us that we keep hidden beneath the ‘hood’ where our personal identity is protected or defended.

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: suggests we would all benefit from a little chat time with our inner child. They are the source of our joy, happiness and innocence. When they are feeling sad or neglected, it is reflected in our daily lives as loneliness. That deep inner feeling that seems to allude even the most dedicated seeker when we are not connected to our innocence. That soft and gentle part of us is in charge of allowing us to be genuine and authentic.

It may take a few attempts to contact your inner child if you have not been paying attention to it for a long period of time. This tiny voice can be so faint it sounds like it is in the ethers and not even part of your soul self. Keep listening until you can hear what that voice is trying to say to you. It can be very frustrating to only hear parts of it, or sounds instead of words, but it is truly worth paying attention to.

When you have made a clear connection, the comments coming from your inner child will be very precise in what is being shared. They don’t mince words, or beat around the bush. They like to tell it like it is and you better be ready to listen. Don’t question what is being said – just accept it as an important key to your overall state of wellbeing and happiness.

SILENCE= not feeling heard or listened to
WHISPER= feeling unsure and insecure about being heard
SOUNDS= sending something so you feel encouraged to continue
SENTENCES= offering pure wisdom and truth you need to hear
