I've just been reading all the really important and deep realisations on the baord about our inner child and experiences at birth etc and i'm wondering what people think about moving through this pain.
I have been writing to my inner child for the past year, talking to her and reassuring her and letting her know she is loved and its been hard at times as i want to play the old tapes that i'm familiar with instead of being loving and nurturing to my inner child.
I'm wondering if its possible to work through our childhood pain from birth onwards by understanding what happened to us or whether its just as important to re-parent our inner child by talking to him/her and soothing that pain that we cannot change.
Love to know your thoughts on this...
Blessings,
Vee

I think it's great to comfort the child. I really love the work you're doing Vee, it's a pleasure to read about your relationship with her.
I practice deep regressive therapy, so I go back into body memories in order to heal them. That process works for me. It shifts my feelings a lot and frees me from blocks. It's different from just understanding what happened, it's that I am relieved of the experience. The memory doesn't hurt anymore. Which is very nice! P.

Hi Vee,
I too am trying to work on my inner child issues. Do you feel you actually connect with your inner child, like you have found her? I have yet to find mine fully although I see little bits and can feel her when I do things like color with my grandson. its crazy!
Prim, how does one do that sort of thing? Regression work? I want to get in touch with my feelings and cannot seem to do this. Why some days I feel like there is nothing inside of me I guess. I can feel depressed or sad but not a REAL feeling that feels alive. It always is a dull type of feeling. Wish there were easy ways to access them.

You can say that last bit again Rick! Have you got a photo of yourself as a boy at about age 3-5? This helped me have compassion for myself as a child as i could see how vulnerable and delightful i was as a child. I keep my picture as a book mark in my daily meditations book so i see it everytime i open the book and just spend a moment asking her if she's ok and tell her i love her very much. Here's to you getting yourself back!
