A precious yet simple gift that we can give to our inner child is our presence. Our childhood wounds are still there because they never had an outlet. However, through this practice, you will allow your inner child to express their hurt to you. You, too, will have the opportunity to express your love for them. Join Saqib in this profoundly healing session to love your inner child. If you like this practice, check out Saqib's course here on Insight Timer: "Shadow Work For Healing & Authenticity."

So,

Let's get started and now I would request you to gradually close your eyes.

Let's start with relaxing the body.

Bring your awareness to your head and relax your head,

Your face muscles,

Your neck and your shoulders.

Relax your arms and your hands.

Relax your chest and your belly,

Upper back and lower back.

Relax your pelvis and your hips,

Thighs and knees and then your calves and your feet.

Now bring your awareness to your breath and just for a while,

Be fully present with your breath.

Observe the inflow and the outflow of the breath and now in your mind's eye,

Visualize that you are standing in front of a tunnel.

This is a time-traveling tunnel that will take you back to your childhood.

So you enter the tunnel and you are walking through this tunnel.

You see light at the end of the tunnel and then you exit it.

And now you have arrived in your childhood home.

In that situation when your childhood version was feeling hurt,

When you felt hurt as a child,

Maybe when you felt abandoned,

Neglected,

Hurt,

Sad.

Look at this childhood home of yours.

Visualize each and every detail as if you are there right now.

The structure of the house,

The color of the walls,

The objects,

The windows,

The neighborhood.

Also look at who is there in the house and locate your childhood version,

Your child self.

So as you find your child self,

You can see your child self now sitting right across you,

In front of you.

Observe this child self of yours.

Notice the clothes of this child.

Notice the facial expressions.

Notice the body language of this child.

And now it's time to introduce yourself to this child.

Tell this child that you are here,

That you are the future self of this child and that you are here to love and listen to this child.

Tell them that you are here to listen.

If you feel like it and the child is okay with it,

Give a warm loving embrace to this child,

Give a warm hug.

Take this child in your arms only if the child is comfortable doing that.

And now it's time for your child self to express.

Your child self will tell you what they are feeling.

Your child self will express its emotions to you.

Take your time to listen to what your child self has to say to you.

And now it's time for you to express to your child self.

Take your time to express.

Maybe you can tell them how much you love them.

You can tell your child self that how beautiful they are.

Whatever you feel like expressing intuitively,

Take your time to express.

And now it's time to embrace your child self.

It's time to merge with your child self.

As you are hugging your child self,

It is merging with you,

Merging with your body,

Becoming one with you,

Integrating with you.

Feel that acceptance of your inner child.

Feel that integration with your inner child.

Feel that harmony with your inner child.

And then it's now time to come back to the present.

So once again,

You see that tunnel in front of you and you enter the tunnel.

You are walking through the tunnel and then you exit it.

And now you are back in the present.

Become aware of your body.

You can move your hands,

Your feet and then gradually,

In your own time,

You can come out of the practice and open your eyes.

Thank you, Saqib, for guiding me on this spiritual journey to meet my inner child. 🙏 As I followed your voice, I felt her radiant love, courage, and forgiveness. She felt my love for her too, as I could not stop crying and was unable to speak.❤️🥲⚡️ Through my tears, I heard her whisper: “You are brave, authentic, and more than enough. We are ONE—blessed, worthy, and deeply loved.”💚🌻❤️ We embraced, and I stepped forward feeling peaceful, grounded, and renewed—reminded that healing is the light within me. 🕊️❤️

My inner child’s body language is mostly frightened & unsure rather than expansive postures or gestures. It was battling its eyelids while being in front of me but was comfortable enough to come to me this time around and trusted me after a few pauses. I took it in my arms and cradled it just the way I loved being cradled as a kid and still feel like it when sitting on a suspension swing. It drank and nourished from my breast and I was happy to nurture and nourish it. I later had a vision of in turn being cradled and fed by the breast of the universe or a goddess..It felt like it was Goddess Kali as I fed my inner child while being nourished by her. We all merged as one by the end of the meditation and walked back towards the light together. Thankyou for the beautiful healing. This meditation was a very intimate experience & I wasn’t sure about sharing this but just wanted you to know that your healing is helping the world heal in very big ways that seem small to most. Thankyou again 🙏🏼🌸✨May you be blessed by the healing that you offer 😇🌌✨

I thought I had put the terror away decades ago, but there she was. A pretty shut-down but fiercly independent 5 year old. At least she will look at me now but she was pretty defiant at the 2 times the man's voice said to hug. Not doing that thanks. Holding hands is more honest. Being able to look into each other's eyes to check if they hold deceit or truth is mandatory. If she can't see my eyes, she will have nothing to do with me. If I can't see her eyes, I will have no way to let her know that she can trust me. Hugs are a trap you can't always get out of. Eye to eye we can trust each other. Nope. No hugs.
