Non Dominant Handwriting
The body is about communication on a multitude of levels. The seemingly unrelated is far from that. The cells communicated with one another, with the organs, with the body systems, with the energy bodies, with the chakra centers, with the emotions, with the mind, and with the spirit….not to mention celestial and dimensional beings of all kinds…and the natural world. So, is it any surprise that the inner child has methods of communication as well.
In an attempt to make the connection with the conscious adult self, the child has at least three means to do this. The first two, the physical body sensations and the emotions, are limited mostly because most people have been taught to fear or ignore both of these elements, medicating out sensation and squashing emotionsal energies. It is easy to see how the inner child grows to be further separate and isolated because the adult just does not pay attention enough to respond.
It is not hopeless, however. As one becomes tuned to the higher frequencies and clears some of the old energetic residue the willingness to open to, listen to, and respond to these communications begins to happen.
It really wasn’t until author and therapist, Lucia Capacchione, discovered how the child can communicate with the adult via non-dominant handwriting, that the doorway to hearing, listening, and speaking to the inner child opened. This sort of automatic writing is a powerful process that gives voice to the child's woundings, needs, and desires….finally.
Essentially, it works by using the dominant hand as the conscious adult asking questions. The child responds with the non-dominant hand and the dialogue begins. In no time at all the legibility is not an issue. And when the door opens there is a whole lot that the child has to say. The more this happens then the safer and clearer the child feels. It is based on consistency and follow through. Building trust takes a conscious effort on the part of the adult self. Reinforcement, support, encouragement, kindness, questions, sharing…all contribute to the foundation upon which the adult child relationship grows and evolves.
The dialogue is organic as one responds to the other. The adult is all about be nurturing and supportive of the child building the trust that will encourage and convince the child to let go of the energetic debris and the false sense of responsibility she has taken on. It is, primarily a questioning process that invites the child to share. Affirmative, supporting words of active listening that acknowledges feelings is critical. Who, what, when, where, why, and how questions are typical starting points.
Who am I talking to? How are you? What would you like to share? Tell me more…How did that feel? What would you like from me? What do you have to say about that?…all useful and productive strategies. You will know.
Again, the key here is consistency and showing up to your agreements and commitments. Most likely the child has been abandoned so many times by broken promises that he is hesitant to step from from the barricades.
Additionally, this technique of communication can be applied towards dialoguing with a place of pain, an event in life, the body parts, emotional woundings, people in our past, lifetimes, future selves, guides, teachers, angelic helper, higher Self, past selves, other kingdoms…on and on.
Consider making it a regular part of your day. Over time it will seem like you know what is being shared just before it comes. It can even become a verbal dialogue as well. Recording that could be a useful tool. I find that the writing is particularly powerful, however, as it contains the visceral element and the energetic movement through the tissues to make it appear on paper. Bottom line is just use it!
