Our Inner Child Self still lives within us

Techniques to connect with your inner child and break limiting beliefs.

We come into this world programmed for success, programmed to believe that we can do anything, without fears, without limiting beliefs. We come strong, full of energy, courageous, with self-esteem and confidence recharged to 100%.

But that child is adding emotional experiences along his/her growth, knowing the limiting beliefs.But that child is adding up emotional experiences along his/her growth, knowing the limiting beliefs; fear, sadness, pain, anger, insecurity, negative thoughts, doubts? And that has done that it goes repressing his impulses and go enquistando the emotions, provoking this way physical and psychic ailments.

Reconnecting with our Child Self

Sometimes "The child of the ego", so called by the well-known psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, manifests itself with defense or protection reactions in the form of emotional overflow, coming out in the form of inadequate and childish actions and actions. This situation makes us totally uncontrolled our subconscious and therefore the management of our emotions. But... What can we do in this situation?

Fortunately there are several possibilities; our child self still lives within us. It is still in us. That energy, that strength and courage, are still there, but encrusted and full of beliefs. All we have to do is give it what it needs.

Speak to your child Self with love and affection, tell him/her how much he/she is worth; promise him/her protection and security and you will see that your state of mind magically and instantly changes.

There are several ways to connect with our Child Self, and repairing our limiting pastThat is to say, those situations that due to lack of age or resources or lack of support, could not be controlled and now, as adults, are the cause of so many limiting beliefs.

There are two very powerful tools that can contact your child self and at the same time reduce or even eliminate our limiting beliefs. One of them is visualization. With visualization we can engage in a dialogue with our child self and reduce or eliminate those beliefs from the past. And the other tool is therapeutic writing, which helps to heal and manage emotions. Here we will see how to use both.

How visualization is used

Visualization is widely used in therapies for reprogramming the mind. Find a calm and quiet place, without any possible interruptions. Sit relaxed without crossing your legs or arms. Close your eyes and with your mind blank, being aware of the here and now, take 3 deep breaths.Take 3 deep breaths.

Go, with your mind, to your home as a child, and in it, go to your bedroom, where you will find your 7 or 10 year old self sitting on the bed. Sit next to him/her and tell him/her how well you are doing, if you have a family, how confident and secure you are in your life; that you are about to accomplish your goals and objectives, and that your childhood fears are gone, that he/she doesn't have to worry about anything, because everything is under control and the only thing you need and miss from your child self is that energy, strength and courage that you know you still have. Give each other a big hug of energy and healing and say goodbye with a "see you soon".

You can do this visualization as many times as you want. It is very nice from time to time to visit your inner child self and tell him/her how you are doing or even ask for advice. Remember that he/she knows you best in the world.

Therapeutic writing for limiting beliefs

Therapeutic writing is one of the best forms of therapeutic intervention to manage our emotions, and it allows us to restructure our thoughts as well.

In this case, I propose to write a letter to your child self. You have to find a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit down and write.. If you want, you can put some relaxing music to create a magical atmosphere. You will need a piece of paper and a pen.

Make your mind blank, being aware of the here and now, and take three deep breaths. Make a regression of when you were a child and remember how you were, what you liked, your dreams... and if you can, try to remember how you were.... and if you can, try to remember a situation or moment, where a limitation could be generated.

Take paper, pen and write a very sincere and liberating letter; think that this exercise is just for you, no one will read it, so don't be shy and write freely whatever you feel like. Tell her how you are doing, funny things that have happened to you, if you have created a family, the dreams you are going to fulfill or have fulfilled? Everything that comes up, what you feel, the commitment that you are going to have with him/her of protection and affection, that your limitations are no longer, no longer affect you and that you are giving in life, your best version. And something very important: thank him/her for being by your side.

Keep it and read it from time to time, it will comfort you.
