To have dialogue with the Inner Child opens the doors to trust and healing. Stepping out of the traditional tools of child/adult communication, the body sensations and the emotions changes everything as it finally gives the child a voice and someone to share with. Traditionally it is done with the non dominant hand speaking as the child with the dominant hand functioning as the adult. Each week there will be a new focus question that can be generic or based on the revelations of the sessions thus far. This journal, in particular, is by no means limited to working with that one question. Ideally you are encouraged to write together a lot, at least daily. The doors this opens and the trust this builds are foundational to the child’s willingness to step out from behind the fortress. Enjoy yourselves…it can be quite the adventure!
- Please ask your little one how she feels about this journey so far. Is he ready to move a little bit deeper into a greater understanding and a lighter life? How is her level of trust? Is there anything he needs from you to feel ready for a new journey?
- Remember when you were just getting ready to incarnate? That was a powerful and profound time filled with a whole lot of anticipation, excitement, wonder, and oh, so much more! Did you know that you can remember a lot of what you were intending then? I invite you to take some time and write down seven things that you had as an intention for this current journey. Take the first thing that comes in and put it on the paper.
- What are the most important things that you remember about being born? What was it like leaving your Mother? What was it like coming into the world? When you came in was it like you had intended? Talk about that.
- From 0-21 list the 10 most important experiences that directed your life, where you made decisions about how you were going to be in the world. You can write as much about each as you want
- Look at how many opportunities you have to clear out some of the hurts, memories, and beliefs you have from the early years. What an amazing design. Take some moments and list any issues or experience you can up to your current adult age that may not be listed by your adult already. Explore each and see what is in there as far as information.
- Anger is an emotion that feels intense and moves quickly through the body. Many times we are taught that it is not OK to express anger. And yet, we see anger all over the place. Sometimes people make fun or say hurtful things and then say “just kidding”. And there is so much violence around. It is confusing what to do. How have you dealt with anger in the past? Do you feel angry? Are there things that you still feel angry about even though they happened along time ago? If so, write them down and say what you want to say. Do it with your words. Notice how it feels to do this…any one else?
- The world has become a fearful place. We feel it almost everywhere we go. There is so much energy out there about being safe. Do you feel fear? Write about it. How do you know it is fear. What does it feel like in the body/ What do you do with it? Do you feel fear in your body? Where? Talk about it because fears fades when you look at and into it to see what it is really made of.
- Is it OK for you to cry? Talk about that. Have you ever had any losses of friends or family or pets or ? Talk about this. How did it feel? What did you do with the feelings. Make a list of your losses and reflect on each. Is there anything you want to do about them? Say about them?
