Lesson 5: The Inner Child Meditation

Here's the Inner Child Meditation:

The Inner Child Meditation was given to me by Dr. Peebles, through the trance channel, Natalie Giannelli. The practice is to be done every day, without fail. Like every other child, all the Inner Child really requires is that you consistently show up for them. 

Every morning, after you open your eyes, close them again. One of the best parts of this meditation is that you have a great excuse for staying in bed for another 1-3 minutes. 

Next, call to your inner child. Imagine them. When they come, notice what they’re wearing, how old they are, anything else there is to notice. Perhaps they’re holding a basket ball. Perhaps they’re heading off to the Princess Party. Perhaps they’re not coming anywhere near you. That was my inner child for the first year that I did this meditation. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you can’t picture her, or you think you’re doing it wrong in some other way. Just put that out of your mind and keep showing up for her.

Once you call to your Inner Child, ask her how she is doing, what she might need. Have a little conversation with her and let her speak. Let her say whatever she needs to say without criticism, or bargaining, or pointing out how she’s wrong. Just listen. And when she is done speaking, say, “Yes, yes, there there, dear child. It’s all right now. I’m an adult and I’m going to take care of everything.”

And that is it. Do this for 1-3 minutes every morning. For me, this was easily the most transformative thing I’ve ever done. And it continues to be crucial to my well being. Consider using Resonant Attention as a method for healing yourself as secondary to this meditation—that’s how important it is. 

Now, if you're trying to get processing going and you notice a lot of negative self talk coming up, you can keep holding that area, but switching to imagining the Inner Child as you try to Allow. Hopefully you'll begin to process not only the Inner Child, but also the area that needs healing.
