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....
