To mentor the Inner Child is to give the tools, awareness, and support to let go of the energetic burden of misinformation, decisions, strategies, patterns, and beliefs that were experienced and adopted in the early years. Much of what I just said is not even in the awareness of that part of ourselves. She just does what she does because she’s done it many times before. And with no new information to draw upon, it all feels familiar and, thus, safe. This is where the adult comes in, for it is his responsibility to provide the re-education, the consistent communication and presence, and the nurturance to facilitate the child trusting enough to just let go of all that has not served her greater being.
Is this doable? Absolutely. What does it take? Conscious and consistent effort. The process clears the energetic debris and emotional baggage held in the tissues and cells as energy, energy that interferes with the flow and recycles the old ways because there appears to be no alternative. Inner child mentoring builds a bridge between the world of the protected and wounded child and the return of the happy childhood. The adult is the facilitator of the process and it is done in the trenches together. There is no other known way to bring about this profound reunion that dissipates the cloak of believed limitations. This an organic process that moves and oscillates from and with the responses to the activities. There is specific information but it is mostly to provide a framework for the pencil and paper and voice actions that infiltrate the journey.
The more you give the more you get. This pertains to both the child and the adult. Trust has to be built. Blockages must be brought to the energetic light to allow new information to rise from the original design. Even in this precious little one there is everything necessary to have the happy childhood.
There are 10 sessions including this orientation one. Each will feed the information in a useful sequence that will spiral you towards a higher and clearer place to experience life with new senses and new results. There will be exercises offered and supported that provide specific tools to create change. Along with the exercises there is an ongoing invitation to immerse, as much as possible, in the journaling process. I have provided 15 specific topics that address key elements of opening up, releasing, and moving on. Each topic has a stimulus question or narrative to steer you in entering the depth of the topic. All told, there will be 10 questions through which you can move to reclaim the centered self in harmonious relationship with the child.
Things will happen. Triggers will be pushed, memories will rise, energies will move, skills will be learned, results will take place…life will be different and expansive in ways long forgotten. The process actually brings you into what many have called the Soul Mate place. For too long the whole idea pushed us around looking for the perfect mirror to bring ultimate happiness and completion. Truth is, however, that the reunion of the adult and child in an unconditionally loving , nurturing, supportive, evolving, vital, and fulfilling relationship is the answer to the mystery of the long lost, must be found, soul mate issue. And if you are willing to immerse yourself as much as possible over the course of this ten weeks, you will likely meet yourself face to face and stand hand in hand with the two most profound elements of your I Am That I Am Expressing As You, and be whole, once again.
Our time together is a combination of the information shared and the personal results of the work you have done in the week prior to the session. They weave in an unpredictable dance through the energetic past to reveal the new vision. The organic and spontaneous flow is what will bring the results. And, as always, your personal awareness and willingness to act upon the new ideas with the play box of tools will be the main propellant to your reaching that whole state.
You are asked to write a lot because the writing involves the tissues and is multi-modality based, engaging more parts of you at the same time. So please make sure you have all the pencils and pens and notebooks and journals necessary to support the flow that will be sparked by the work. I suggest that you set aside a private nurturing, well lit space where you can do the journaling, communicating, and connecting to build the relationship that is budding. Have color and live plants and a sacred space where you can put pictures and child memorabilia…an altar of sorts. Do what you need to make it the space that delivers. Include your child self in the creation of the shared space. This is important.
