Healing your Inner Child
Irrespective of your current age, there is an inner child lies buried deep within you who
need love, compassion and acceptance. Many children grow up with a guilt feeling by

mentality may occur into self-rejection.

Love has the greatest healing power ever which has the ability to heal almost any

Loving and accepting your inner child will open all the blocked pathways. To bring out
the wounded inner child, make him/her trust you. Give love and attention so that he/she

thought was best for their child.
The children who actually had traumatized childhood needs lots of tender loving care.
They are afraid to love and trust again. The inner child needs to be assured that those
traumatized days are gone and gone forever. Make your inner child realize that it is ok to
get angry. I don’t mean its right to start screaming and be abusive, but yes, it is ok to vent
out, let those tears run down your cheeks. There is nothing wrong in crying out.

he/she had been emotionally hurt. Fairies, Angels, Mermaids, Unicorns belongs to higher
realms and are known to heal children.
Talk to your inner child. Don’t expect magical reply in a day but within a given time, you
may start getting response. Ask your inner child about his/her sadness, assure him/her
that everything is alright now and give him/her enough love. If you are a woman, however
