Hello friends!
In this article, let's explore more tools and techniques for our inner child healing.
A veteran Buddhist Master Thich Nhat Hanh, suggests a breathing technique for healing our inner child, breathing in saying I go back to my inner child, breathing out saying I take care of my inner child. This will align us to the voice of our inner child and help us focus on what it needs.
This also helps us to release the pain that we have accumulated over years and detox our energy body. Writing a letter to our inner child is also one important technique where we address the letter to our baby self, filling it with our expressions of self-love, self-care, and words of encouragement to emotionally strengthen our child, asking for forgiveness, allowing it a space to express and heal.
Sometimes, while we grow up, our inner child's voice is suppressed in the adult world whereby it is not allowed space to express itself.
So, writing a letter to allow it to express its emotions and being an empathic parent and listening to it and responding to it with words of love to our wounded inner child. On this journey, we also need to identify our attachment styles. Is it co-dependent? Co-dependent attachment styles are also a prime reason for our suffering and we need to adapt to healthier attachment styles to relate to the world around us. Unhealthy attachment styles should be checked and changed.
When we attach our happiness to the external environment, we then start being unconsciously dependent on it and lose our independence of being the creator of our own happiness. We become victim-conscious instead of conscious creators of our experiences. This style of relating in relationships definitely needs to be transformed.
So, friends, we learned three techniques in the above article:
1. Breathing.
2. Writing a letter.
3. Checking and transforming our attachment styles to healthier ones.
Wishing we all heal and be wholesome beings!
Stay tuned for more!
