Re-capturing our Child Within.

We've spent so much time trying to fit in, bending ourself out of shape in order to belong.... We've been like a chameleon for such a long time, changing to suit our environment....Now We are not sure who we are!.... Somewhere in all the pretending, role-playing and adjusting of our behaviour in order to be liked.. We've lost ourself.... When we sit quietly and peer into our inner world We don't always like what we see.... We have become something, someone else.... We've traded away our heart and our mind in the mistaken belief we would be accepted, loved and included.... In truth We've lost who we are.... What the world now sees is a mirage.... we have lost our clarity, our original innocence, virtue and even our purpose.... We have attached ourself to the lives of others, believing our own life not to be worthy....  for the first time, we can see that this is not true... we are indeed whole.... It's time to stop changing and adapting in order to fit in.... As we look more closely we can see the child that we once were... still resides deep in our constructed self, occupying a unique place in our mind.... It's the part of us that knows real strength lives in kindness and compassion.... It's the part of us that doesn't need to pretend.... The child we once were is untainted.... It's the part of us that isn't corruptible, that isn't afraid to be itself.... Why should we hide the kind, perfect nature of our child?.... Why should we hide that beautiful innocence, that wide-eyed wonder that the child within us brings into our life?.... We are tired of believing that being an adult means denying our nature and spirit and becoming something else the world finds more acceptable.... We now allow our lightheartedness, humour and the eternal curiosity of our mind not afraid to grow to come to the fore.... We step willingly into the mental pose of our child hidden within.... From this vantage point we see ourself and the world differently.... This is a kinder, softer place.... we can feel more patience and compassion when we connect with this part of us.... We enjoy the gentle strength of our intuitive voice.... It brings with it more reason and compassion.... We meditate to spend more time in this place.... Our child Within has so much to teach us and we have so much to learn.... We are ready and willing to grow....And we do.... Connecting with our child within enables us to become more balanced, recovered and whole.... Going forward we walk hand-in-hand with our child within ....We will no longer neglect our child within for we have learned to come home to ourselves....

Contacting the child within is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel

Contacting the child within is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel to the centre of your being.

One of the main reasons why we see so many people unhappy when we start studying with them

One of the main reasons why we see so many people unhappy when we start studying with them is because they are so focused on the reasons and causes of their problem, the pathology.



And while it’s all well and good to know where our problem came from, and very important to know where our problem came from, if you only stay focused on that (the pathology), we  will not recover.



To recover, in any way – medically, mentally, physically, emotionally – we’ve got to have an ideal outcome or scenario or destination that we are heading towards.



This isn’t to say that we should become SO fixed on an outcome that we are inflexible and rigid – on the contrary! we can believe in our life-flow. But, if all we do is spend time focusing on what the problem is, we leave no room open for the solution.



This isn’t as easy as “being positive”. We would not be so naive as to say that a positive attitude is enough to make you feel better or heal – especially from extreme illness. However, what I am saying is that without an enquiring positive and optimistic outlook, the possibility of healing and recovering is almost 0%.



When we focus only on the problem – we get MORE of the problem. And it becomes not only the story of our life, but also our IDENTITY. And when our identify – as in - who you are is now the problem, the likelihood of recovery reduces significantly.



If we wish to recover, if we wish to live an extraordinary life, if we wish for miracles and to be able to SEE solutions – we must go looking for them. This means that we become aware of the pathology, understand the pathology and then set our minds  on to an outcome of recovery, rather than on the pain of the problem.


This is not a prescription for a recovery bypass of our pain. We must feel our pain fully in order for it to be grieved. We cannot will our pain away or just wish for life to get better.

The body responds to what your mind feeds it. Healing is a medical process, an emotional process, a physical process. Our attempts at healing can only be started if we return to our source our child within.


Anyone who has come back from massive failure or had a recovery in his or her life operated this way.


Returning to our childhood.

Can you? I’m curious.
