The Whole Inner Child is actually the infinite Soul that transcends forms and lifetimes. This template self carries a particular I Am frequency that permeates the current lifetime with the specific wisdom of your unique expression of the Christ Essence. This is in alignment with the energetic overseer, the Higher Self, who regulates and orchestrates the moments of living to provide us with the greatest opportunity to reawaken. This Whole child can be further characterized by specific companion frequencies, the Vulnerable Child, the Magical Child, the Playful Child, and, for now, the Angry child.
- The intent of creating relationship is to use our Adult Self who has all the information and the experience to handle everything that is not the child’s work and the Nurturing Parent who has the capacity to consistently tend to the basic needs of the child self to provide all the support necessary to allow the child to be the child.
- The Wounded child is the part of us that has experienced difficulties in life: abuses, woundings, shut downs, ignoring, put downs, etc. She carries a reservoir of unprocessed fear, unexpressed words, limiting beliefs, feelings of hopelessness and depression, grief, sadness, as well as inner judgments and criticisms. These energies and memories usually gather at the level of the second chakra. The intention is to liberate the child to free up creativity, joy, imagination, and wonder…elements that have been diminished by the smokescreen of misinformation, manipulation, control, and lack of care.
- A companion to the Wounded Child is the Vulnerable Child. It is this part of us that can take the woundings and find an outlet by being honest and clear about the issues. This part expresses through feeling, sound, words, actions and is about being ultra true to self. Vulnerability is powerful because it clears the air of confusion and realigns inner resources. It may be difficult for those around but it is always the best thing to come from integrity. The Vulnerable Child will help the Whole Child in clearing the energy underneath the wounds. The adult may want to dialogue with both in very specific exercises.
- The Magical Child is the creative, joyful one. She has access to the multi-dimensional experience of living here on Earth. He knows and interacts with the many kingdoms and has deep connection to the Earth Mother, Gaia. She is joyful, imaginative, unfettered and filled with the ever serving sense of wonder. The intention here is to use the nurturing parent to meet her needs to keep him thriving in the juicy, fun life. However, the Magical Child can also be the one who uses the magic to whitewash painful experiences, separating from the woundings by spinning happy tails that deny the deeper events. It is akin to someone being spiritual so they don’t have to feel…or New Agey and making everything positive so they do not have to deal with the negative, painful wounds. This can never be anything but a temporary diversion.
- The Angry Child carries the dense energy of the pent up, controlled, “inappropriate” rage. The personal injustices and lack of support in those who were supposed to be there feed the reservoir of lower frequency anger, self-criticism, personal judgment of others, bitterness, hatred, immobility, lack of decisiveness and action, feeling powerless, or overpowering through bullying, controlling, or filibustering the moment. This energy is visceral and quick to express and explode. The intention is to diminish the reservoir through release of energy, information, and strategies to limit the tendency to hold on to the feelings.
- The Playful Child is just that, playful and happy. The moments of living are adventurous, filled with delight, inviting, spontaneous, frivolous, satisfying, and expansive. A child must play, whether in the flesh or not. Bringing back the unabashed fun in life is the goal behind tending this child part of us. Herein lies the happy childhood that too many yearn for.
- It is time to introduce a new element of the Whole Child because there is always an undercurrent, a deep knowing, that the Child is in the Perfect State, regardless of the current forms of life around her. This can be called the Balanced Child. This really is the reawakening and expanding part of the child who lives in the Now and claims a state of alignment with the Christ Essence. This part is increasing in awareness, relevance, and expression. It is the result of the energetic releases and healing that is occurring, returning the accessibility of the true Design to the Now Moment.
- It is our opportunity to heal the wounds of our child selves, which will free us from the destructive, limiting patterns that have ruled our lives. The child self is very adept at taking a stand, building the walls, and protecting the decision to survive. Re-education through developing trust and consistent attention are some of the primary ways to invite the child self to surrender control and accept loving care..
