Meditation "Healing the Inner Child"

Many of us know that all human fears and anxieties are laid in childhood. The character of each of us also begins to take shape during this period. Therefore, we can safely say that our childhood remains with us for life. An adult man realizes that now he has become different, therefore he perceives himself as a small one, as it were, separately. At the same time, the little creature lives all the time inside our consciousness. If in childhood he was often offended or not given due attention, then it will always remind him of this.

Louise Hay developed the “Healing the Inner Child” meditation for those who feel that they are a lonely and defenseless person. This meditation is designed to rid oneself of fears and self-doubt.

The creator of the technique was born in a poor family. From childhood I knew what hunger and cold are. When she grew up, one of the beautiful days decided to get carried away by alternative methods of treatment. Then she became a pastor and began to write books on psychology.

When Louise became very ill, she decided to cure herself with the help of her consciousness. In this she was helped by meditation. To date, she has been able to help other people out of a difficult situation.

The above meditation makes it possible to immerse oneself in childhood and with the help of this immersion try to change the present. Therefore, this technique is needed for those who sincerely want to get rid of children's experiences, which, in turn, greatly affect the present.

There are a lot of examples when problems coming from childhood prevent a person from realizing himself. For example, if at school age a child was offended by peers and he felt worthless, then in adult life he will not be able to find a companion, he will be closed, unable to realize his abilities.

To fully come to the perception of such a concept, you need to realize that the term "inner child" is the personification of one of the most important parts of the inner world of man. This part contains various memories, both negative and positive, as well as fears, skills, early experience, etc.

It is this part of the human soul that is responsible for the joyful perception of any events. Each of us remembers the taste of ice cream that we all ate in childhood. It was incredibly sweet and enjoyable. We remembered this moment, and now, as adults, to please ourselves, we also eat ice cream.

At an early age, every child tries to draw or blind something. If he is praised, then he tries even more and creates. As a result, a talented artist or sculptor can grow out of such a person. AND in this great experience will play children's experience, namely the "inner child".

When no one pays attention to the creative vein of the little artist, he begins to slowly shut himself down, and his abilities fade away. If such a person, as an adult, wants to revive the craving for drawing, then meditation classes called “Healing the Inner Child” will help.

The conclusion is that the “inner child” is a certain period of time that has remained in the distant past. However, this time period can adversely affect the present and future life of an adult.

This technique is designed for people who have become adults. It doesn't matter how old you are. It must be performed in order for pure and fresh emotions to awaken in your soul. And they will certainly create new ideas in the mind that will help you move on through life.

Please note that your “inner child” may be in such a state - to be depressed and frightened, etc. If you observe intransigence in your behavior, inability to ask and the like, then you need to learn how to deal with it. In addition, the negative manifestations and emotions in your character also indicate that your “inner child” is depressed.

For some people, inappropriate behavior is expressed in the fact that they, as adults, can not understand this in any way. Such people are infantile, do not work and do not study, try to live at the expense of others. Therefore, they need to start working on themselves. Otherwise, they will undergo final degradation.

To do this, you need to find out exactly how your “inner child” is manifested. If he is not completely healthy emotionally, then you will be uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable, then you need to conduct a healing meditation and balance your general state of mind.

Meditation will help to establish contact with the "child" sitting inside you. This technique will push you to an emotional storm. Do not be surprised that during the practice you will experience sadness, joy, guilt, nostalgia, and other feelings.

Do not be afraid of the surging emotional storm, and let it happen. If you want to cry, then cry. If you want to laugh, then laugh. Meditation is carried out in order to revitalize your feelings.

Now let's get down to the main action.

• Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

• Take a deep breath through your nose, and exhale air through your mouth. Repeat such manipulations several times.

• Your body should gradually relax from the top of the head to the toes and hands. Imagine that this relaxation touched the very tips of the fingers and returned again to the top of the head.

• After that, you should feel your body and be aware of your current age, as well as the momentary state of your mind. Think about whether you saw everything.

• Next, imagine that a child appeared in front of you. It can be a boy or a girl (everything should depend on your gender here).

• The child is you. You are about five years old. Imagine what it looks like. Recollect yourself small, in what you are dressed and shod. Watch the baby.

• Then mentally stand up, go to the child and give him your hand. Take the baby’s hand in your palm. She is very small. Sit down and feel the baby’s growth. Look into his eyes. If you really want to kiss the child, then kiss him on the cheek, palm. Be sure to pay attention to the reaction of the baby.

• The eyes of a child should tell you a lot. Look, they are sad or with a hitch, what color they have: brown or blue. Remember this moment. You are now in love with yourself. In the eyes of this baby - your hopes. Take the baby in your arms. Let him snuggle up to you. Feel its warmth, and let your heart respond to this gesture.

• Think about whether you can protect this child from someone else’s influence now, whether you will make him upset all the time. Ask him to tell what actions he expects from you. Promise the baby (ke) that you will now take care of him (her), protect and delight.

• Think about the fact that you and only you can protect this child. From this he will feel caring and will no longer be afraid. The kid will no longer worry about the fact that he did not live up to your expectations.

• Embrace your "I", that is, the child, and promise to always protect it. Know this is the most precious thing you have. Baby is your inner feeling.

• The child must understand that he is heard and that you always remember about him.

• At the end of the session, place the baby on the floor and slowly release your hands. Take a look at his face. It shone. His appearance changed, and it became clear that he was glowing with happiness.

• Take a few breaths again and open your eyes.

Thanks to these recommendations, your practice will become more effective.

• For yourself, you need to indicate the reason why you had a desire to do meditation. Good reasons will give impetus to a diligent attitude to practices.

• Do not start those activities that seem too tedious to you. Better to start small.

• Plan ahead the time you can set aside for meditation. If you like to sleep in the morning, then it is better to do the technique in the afternoon or in the evening. Perform meditations in the allotted hours.

• Practicing is better in a certain place that will be quiet (without the presence of children and animals). If you cannot perform any pose, such as the Lotus pose, then use a chair to practice. Sit on it and place a pillow under your back.

• Keep track of all the changes that occur with your body and mental activity. For convenience, keep a diary and write in it all the processes that seem important and progressive to you.
