Healing Your Inner Child Meditation

A 7-minute inner child meditation. Healing your inner child means envisioning yourself as an adult going back to fulfill any needs that were not met for you as a younger child. Many of us are carrying inner child wounds that we may not be aware of and these can cause us to react in unhealthy ways when we feel triggered. Healing your inner child is key to stepping into your power and becoming your best self.

Settle into a calm and quiet place.

You can sit or lie down,

Whatever feels most comfortable for you.

This is a place without judgment or criticism.

You are allowed to feel whatever emotions that may come up for you.

You are safe.

Now take three deep breaths in through your nose,

Out through your mouth.

Now bring your breathing back to a normal pace and ask your mind to bring up a memory from your younger self.

Let whatever comes to your mind flow freely.

Trust your intuition.
