Episode #141: 3 Ways How to Nurture a Relationship with Your Inner Child

Nurturing a relationship with your inner child is a powerful practice of healing and loving yourself.

You come into this world as a super cute, adorable, perfect, playful, lovable, and carefree baby. Your soul is pure and your heart wide open.

But then… Life happens. Suddenly you find yourself in your adulthood, considering whether you should get a therapist, move to California, go to one of the anonymous meetings or lie to yourself and pretend that everything is fine.

Since you are here, I assume you want to change your life and how you feel. If that is the case, I encourage you, with all my heart, to start working and nurturing a relationship with your inner child.

Inner child’s work often brings up the feelings that heal us the most; feelings of love, compassion, and empathy. It also allows us to reconnect with disowned parts of ourselves, process stored emotions from the past, exercise self-compassion, and forgive ourselves for any self-betrayal or self-harm we caused to ourselves.

Nurturing this relationship a powerful practice of healing and loving yourself. Therefore, if you are on your healing journey or ready to start, I encourage you to include the inner child’s work in your practice.

Last week, I shared a 10-minute guided self-love meditation for healing your inner child. I invite you to try it out and give it a listen.
