I am referring to them, because I came to find out that the child has different parts as well.
It’s been 3 years now that I made the commitment to my inner child( ren) to connect, listen and take care of them.
As I woke up from a dream last night which had an unsettling undertone of loneliness and jealousy, I still have the tendency to want to get rid of these shadow feelings. iI even gets me mad.
As i was asking myself why i got mad ,I noticed that is was impatience.
Am I still not healed from the past?
As i decided to go on a walk to the sea i saw that these parts are mostly the wounded inner child, sometimes even the adolescent.
By feeling, acknowledging and letting it pass by, space reveals itself.
Part of cultivating our own inner parents is to say to ourselves what we needed to hear as a child.
All the characteristics we would have loved in our external parents are the ones we can cultivate inside ourselves.
This way the healing journey evolves.
Just.. There is no exact time frame in which this happens.
So we need to be patient, kind , loving and proud of ourselves for how far we have already come.
And most important, get in touch with your playfulness.
What did you love to do as a child.?
