Inner child work for a more emotionally matured you & child healings
I grew up in a family that didn’t care who’s kids were around, If there were kids present, it meant we all looked out for them.
I started babysitting before I was the age of 10, (this was a long time ago) I had a big family.
I also lived through a lot of trauma. As a child I dealt with that trauma by doing art, dancing, singing, spending time in nature and around animals, we had many.
I remember the first time I ‘ran away’ from home at the age of 7, I packed my pink backpack, art supplies, a couple support stuffed animals and some snacks. I made it only a little ways before my mother yelled me home.
I had a near death experience at that age, 7 years old, I lost consciousness as I was being strangled,& as an adult, doing inner child work has helped me a lot. It has helped me to overcome the things I experienced in my youth and later in life. I’ve been alone for four years now and my last relationship is why I’m crippled, so obviously in my later years I didn’t attract the right people around me. For someone with such good instincts, you would think I would have been better at choosing a Lover.
Doing inner child work for me has looked like, as an adult incorporating things I loved as a kid, back into my life. That meant in my late teens, beginning to sketch again and eventually practicing watercolors and oil paints. I will never forget the first oil painting I ever did, freshman year, at Medomak Valley, in Ms Eastman’s class. I painted a faery, effortlessly, and it was beautiful. She asked me to paint them around the class after that and I didn’t know my autistic self well enough yet to ask her, if when I felt inspired, I could accomplish the task. Instead it turned into me doing a less than half applied project that I couldn’t focus on. I later began painting with oils again and found my style and much later attempted acrylics. I prefer mixed media and I have to say that as a woman who previously sort of shunned acrylic paint, it has become a saving grace to my painting, because it is so quick to dry! The fact I can complete a painting in a short time, is a dream!
I also once more returned to dance.
I began hiking regularly. I started to sing in public.
The first few open mic nights I was so nervous and then I found my improv flow and it gave me confidence to keep singing.
Something that I did internally, was astrally traveling to my child self or teen self and being there when I went through traumatic events. You sit in meditation and travel back to the moment or for me, moments that occurred that were traumatizing. I still haven’t made it back to each of them.
I was fortunate to be working with an excellent talk therapist at the time too. She liked focusing on inner child work and commented that she had never worked with a person before who had so many ‘inner children’ variants of themselves. Meaning, typically, a trauma takes place and an individual will use that image as the representation for their child self when doing this inner working.
I had an inner child, teen, & young adult for each traumatic event.
I was able to see myself at almost every age and allow myself to commune with each age at appropriate times.
My 7 year old self was one that was with me on a regular basis in meditation. I actually asked once, when I was meeting with GOD if I could leave my child self there, so she/I could be kept safe, the answer was, no. She had to live through what was to become me. The person I am today.
An inner child regression meditation would look like,
Sitting in a meditative position, closing your eyes, playing a steady soundtrack (drums or soothing music/or whatever your into) if it is helpful for you, or to breathe as you count down 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, or just breathe yourself into the time period your envisioning.
You are there as an observer and as a force that lets your child or younger self know that you made it, you survived this and you will be ok. You can give yourself a hug, hold your hands, really there is no goal of what is needed, your going back and asking that you see what you need.
I am very psychic and very visual, I am blessed in bloodline and spirit, it is not lost on me how lucky I am for that.
If the first time you attempt this, it doesn’t really go the way you wanted or needed, you can repeat it as needed. In just five minutes you would be amazed at what can be accomplished.
Of course I would recommend a little more time, at least 15. This is what I would call a vision working. Different from a psychic dream. In a vision working you are guiding yourself, a dream is something that flows through spirit, arguably a vision working does as well, it’s just a bit different.
Child healings I have as an offering on my site, along with child astrology readings. It is my belief that one of the reasons our youth struggle with depression and addiction is lack of spiritual connection. When you remind a young person of how powerful they are, they can start to transform themselves. I saw this with a young person I worked with regularly for four years. We were very close in that time. I & many others saw a huge transformation occur. I worked with her one on one with art, yoga, dance, breathwork and some guided meditations.
This looks like shamanic techniques combined with reiki.
An example I can give is that she was having trouble feeling like her family could get along, because it was a challenge, and so I led her in a meditation. She had her eyes closed and I told her she was a bird. I asked her what kind of bird she wanted to be?
Then I told her each of her family members were birds too, listing them off one by one and asking her to assign a bird to each of them (her and I were bird watching together often) I told her that even though, everyone was a different bird, they were all flying with her, there to support her on her journey through life. That even though it was challenging sometimes in life, to remember this image, so she could feel safe and supported by her family. Each member of it. Giving her the confidence to ‘fly.’
I also guided her to meet two animal guides, one to make her feel calm when she was upset or angry. Another for her to feel energized when she felt down or depressed. These were guided vision workings, where she closed her eyes and I guided her through a space that allowed her to pick an animal/insect/magickal being, to connect with. After these meditations I told her to call on them spiritually whenever she needed the help and guidance.
My therapist was a huge help in the earlier days, when she was really acting out. I would let her know that if she needed a hug, I was there, but that until then, I was sending her rainbow light that would bring her what she needed, when she needed it.
I regularly told her stories and she eventually liked when I would do puppet shows for her too.
Also having access to a child’s birth chart can be incredibly helpful with communication, looking at mercury, moon, sun, mars and aspects to Saturn. These are a good combination to gaze at quickly to give you insight to their communication style and preferences of an individual, of course naturally as a child ages, these can shift and change. So too do the discussions.
It would seem in my life that I tend to be in a child’s life in their early years. Whether friend’s kids, relatives, kids I nannied for, ex partners children or the daycare I worked at during the pandemic. Some of these children may not even remember me well, but there must be a reason that spirit brought them to me, when they did.
When I have a permanent location, I will be able to offer in person & online, for everything. Probably for women and children only in person, if I live alone, allowing for online astrology or other offerings for men.
For now, I had to give away my massage table, for the Ayurvedic massage and reiki/shamanic healings, not to mention the fact that I need a space for all this. I had everything I needed for my life, before spinal cord injury. Now, it’s going to be more of a challenge, but I’m certain that if there is an interest in these healings, I will be able to figure out a way to help online. I am happy to answer any questions via my ‘contact’ page.
I have seen how these types of practices can help first hand. It helps bring in an element of magick, protection, confidence and power. Whether for a child or for you as an adult. There is no best time to connect spiritually.
When I have my own space and am able to redesign my life with this injury, I will probably offer a combined dance/movement/Shamanic session as therapy for both adults and children.
We have a gift as human beings to be the walkers between the worlds and the average human being uses only 8-15% of their brain, I attribute the connectedness to spirit to me having unlocked more of my brain and therefor being more connected to universal consciousness.
I have seen real world change occur based off visionary working & meditations. I have had many premonition dreams come true, the only time to be casual about them is when they involve my personal life, then there is ‘free will’ to consider, because you can’t go around saying ‘hey future husband and father to my child’ can you?
This means that you learn to accept that life changes and someone taking a different path can also change outcomes, not just in your own life, but in the World.
For these reasons it is a delicate matter when speaking about psychic abilities with the ‘real World.’
An example being, I sense a war coming and want to prevent it by pointing out what is happening and the steps required to change the outcome; (MEDIATING)if I tell the World, then because of my warnings, change the outcome, they will automatically be smug and think…..well, nothing happened, she must be wrong….etc.
but really, the warnings, saved them and the earth.
It’s why it’s best to use judgement as to which people to speak to, or not, regarding all things magickal.
I will assume if people are visiting my site, they are at the very least intrigued or interested in my gifts, which happen to be a little magick.
Again, let’s not waste anyones time. Mine nor yours, life is short.
For more information on what I have written about today, visit the healings section of the site, there is a summary about what is offered and if you have any questions, ask.
If you can’t afford, I do take donations and am more than happy to help teach you more, so you can help guide yourself or your child/spouse/family member/friend. It’s really about each persons comfort and inner journey.
