All posts in the ‘Inner Child’ category

Having just had some time looking after my grandchildren I am again humbled by how pure and innocent they are and how much they teach me if I stop to listen.

I have three grandchildren under 5 and have just had them to look after for the week.

They remind me to be present, not just be present but delight in the present of every moment of every day.

They teach me joy as I look into their delighted faces, delighted over the seemingly small things which are so important if we stop to look.

Children see magic in everything because they look for it.

The Inner Child is a concept used in popular psychology and spiritual healing to denote the childlike aspect of a person’s psyche.

It is often viewed as an independent entity – so that it may be viewed subjectively.

Exploring the concept of your Inner Child can be useful to address the remaining effects of childhood experiences on your adult life. Traumatic events, habits and misconceived ideas from your childhood all stay with you.

Your current behaviors can be drawn from emotional memory and even the experiences stored in the brain below conscious thought.
