Is rejecting your inner child actually blocking you from receiving what would be nourishing in your life right now? Rejection can take many forms: self judgment, resistance or denial of our feelings, or it can be hidden in a spiritualized ideal of transcendence. This idea that feelings of anger, shame, grief, etc don’t have a place in the awake, conscious being. So this can actually perpetuate an internal fragmentation and polarization that actually originated in a time of a painful experience where we didn’t have support, or the love, and care, and holding for our emotions, and so in some way part of our experience got fragmented, disconnected from, dissociated from. And if we’re able to, in the current time, meet the feelings that arise that are actually from the inner child, and call them in, bring them in to the light of our higher Consciousness, within the midline, within the embrace of the heart field, we can then bring that fragmented Child part into the current time through compassionate presence, understanding for the needs that were not met at the time, and tending to the tender feeling states that may be stimulated by a current situation in our life. So when we’re able to accept and meet these places within with sweet loving care we give to ourselves that which we did not receive and we start to build the pathway of actually being able to receive the nourishment and love from relationships in our life, and be able to discern where we put our energy in relationships, so that there actually is a pathway of clear receiving that which would be supportive and nourishing to our being. So I invite you to look into if there’s any ways in which you are criticizing, judging, resisting certain emotional states that are being brought to the surface that are actually the child calling for the loving attention, care, support, understanding that she didn’t get at one point in time. And so we can bring that to her now and start to bring her into an integrated coherence in the present time so that our energy is then available to be choosing consciously relationships and experiences where there is that reflection of the inner acceptance, love, and care.
