(NOTE: I AM NOT A PSYCHOLOGIST NOR A THERAPIST, NOR DO I CLAIM TO BE ONE.
I HAVE USED THIS TECHNIQUE WITH MANY PEOPLE AND FROM THOSE EXPERIENCES AND
WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD DURING EACH SESSION, I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE THINGS I
AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU WORK. IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.)
This is a technique for finding and releasing your Inner Child. First let
me begin by describing what an inner child is. This is the person we once
were as children, our innocence, us before any type of abuse, hardship, etc
came into our lives. Many refuse to acknowledge the existence of their
inner child, having locked it away in a closet in their mind. The child
begs to be released, thus creating at times at times a catacalismic
emotional rollercoaster affect on us. Have you ever been upset for no
reason, not being able to find the solution to that upset? Have you ever
had days when all you can do is dwell on past endeavors and wonder what you
did wrong and why? Well these are linked to our inner child. Our inner
child holds all our fears, dissapointments, etc....and when we ignore that
child, it will find ways to let us know it exists....by releasing upon us
those fears and disappointments.
So what does this inner child really want? It wants to run free, to allow
innocence back into our lives, to give us joy and happiness that only a
child can trully experience. But it cannot do these things if it is locked
in a closet. YOU MUST RELEASE THE CHILD.
Here is the technique:
First, if you are afraid to do this technique, i suggest you follow the
instructions posted earlier on RELEASING, and release your fear of your
inner child.
Next, this technique requires the ability to meditate and VISUALIZE. If
you have never tried visualization, or have no idea what it is, then
contact me and i will give you simple visualization exercises to use to
perfect this.
Again, you will want to find a sacred place. It is VERY important that you
NOT be disturbed while doing this technique...complete privacy and
uninterruptions is essential. Settle into a relaxed state, preferably
laying on your back, with a pillow under your head and a blanket over your
body. Even in the hottest of a summer day, many of whom i have worked with
have become extremely chilled during this exercise. Next, close your eyes
and begin meditating, breathing slowly, in and out, clearing one's mind
totally. Feel your body relaxing. If need be, use a coach who has studied
this technique to guide you if you cannot do this on your own.
Once you are completely relaxed, begin visualizing a doorway. It is a
normal doorway with a small room within. It is a child's bedroom,
decorated in children's themes, and tons of toys everywhere. you walk in
the room. Within the room there is another door. This one is locked tho
and you can see a key in the keyhole. Listen closely, you may hear the
whimpering of a child. Can you hear it? Go to the door now. Reach down
and slowly turn the key. (If you feel any fear at this point, stop the
technique and do a releasing technique immediately...the last thing you
want this child to feel from you is fear!!!!!) Once you have unlocked the
door, gently open it, slowly, standing in front of the doorway to block any
unnecessary light. Can you see a small child cowering in the corner of the
closet? Coax the child in a soothing, cooing, motherly manner. Hold out
your hands and allow the child to come to you...as slowly as the child
wishes. Do not get upset if the child will not come to you right away. It
is afraid after all. Once the child has come to you, wrap your arms around
it and express your love for it. Tell it how much it means to you, that
you will never again allow it to be locked in that closet. Instead, point
out to it all the lovely things to do and play with in that bedroom, take
it to the window, show it the outside world...that too is for the child
now. Once you have showned the child these things, turn and face the
closet door. Visualize the door closing (and you are still holding the
child). watch as the key locks the door again on its own, and then the key
simply disappearing. This way you can never lock the child up again.
If you cannot do this technique on the first try, do not be alarmed. I
have worked with a few people who could not get their inner child to come
to them til a fourth session. The main thing to remember is to not show
fear, hurt, disappointment while dealing with your inner child. If for any
reason you begin to experience any of these emotions, immediately stop and
do a releasing technique. It is extremely important that your inner child
only feel love and acceptance from you.
Once you have visualized the key dissolving, spend as much time with your
inner child as you want. Remember, when you leave the child, there should
be no constrictions against the child's freedom. No closed windows, doors,
etc. It should be allowed to roam freely.
