The inner child
Little us
Often as adults we lose contact with him (her), partly to protect ourselves (the famous survival instinct), partly because the concept of being adults often does not coincide with the inclusion of a childish part within us.
But he or she is always with us, from the first to the last day of life.
Sometimes we call it intuition, sometimes soul, it is however the most authentic part of ourselves that is worth getting back in touch with.
With every part of it, the joy and enthusiasm, which are the engine that drives the action forward of all successful people, but also with the wounds and blocks which guide our life through repetitive and painful patterns until we face them and give those memories a closure.
A hint to reconnect with our inner child
For me, for example, was drawing and creating imaginary worlds in my mind. I also loved wandering in nature and collecting sticks, leaves, little rocks, shells but also bottle caps and whatever was interesting for me to create something new I could play with.
Today drawing is still something that gives me joy, as many other creative activities like writing, photography, ceramics, walking and noticing details in nature or things around me. I still love to build something new, for example starting a new project, working for a start up.
And this is a way to go back to ourselves when we feel disconnected, maybe lost doing the things we believe for some reasons... culture, education, society, religion... we have to do in our life but don't make us happy.
Let's go back to when we were little, still pure, still in touch with our soul and purpose for this life and ask: 'what was something I really loved to do or dream about?'
My book
It is a combination of Inner Child and Human Design, a light exploration of these tools to use as a roadmap for aligning our life's journey to the authenticity of the soul.
It is also my first attempt of being an author so it means for me the realization of what I try to explain in the book, that is trying to follow something you (I in this case) really love and want to do (write and draw).
Here the link to where I share parts of the healing journey of my wounded inner child, moments of awareness of repeated and conditioned patterns, lessons of reparenting myself and more, all while enjoying writing and drawing about it.
A personalised inner child portrait
It's a symbolic reminder to do what makes them feel joyful.
J was born and lives in Australia.
When she was little she asked a lot of questions about Aboriginal people, but no one was interested. She has always felt attracted to light and spiritual things, she loves nature. She had a dream: to create a space where people can connect with the Aborigines, have a chat, enjoy their art and culture. At the time of the portrait she was really working to manifest her dream and today she has created that space, called Magpie place, in Brisbane, Australia.
