Inner Child Remembrance:
Do you remember the many journeys you took as a child? The way you approached those journeys with wonder, excitement, and curiosity? Perhaps you were filled with a sense of adventure, eager to explore new places and experiences.
But as we grow older, we often forget about that inner child within us. The one who was brave and curious, the one who approached life with a sense of wonder and awe. We become caught up in the stresses and demands of daily life, and we lose touch with the childlike joy that once defined us.
Remembering our inner child means reconnecting with that sense of wonder and curiosity. It means embracing the joy of exploration and discovery, even in the face of fear or uncertainty. It means acknowledging the unique gifts and talents that we possessed as children and reclaiming them as our own.
Reconnecting with our inner child requires courage and vulnerability. It means allowing ourselves to be open and receptive to new experiences, even if they are outside our comfort zone. It means letting go of the fears and doubts that hold us back and embracing the joy and creativity that lie within us.
So take a moment to remember your inner child, the one who was brave and curious, the one who approached life with a sense of wonder and awe. Reconnect with that sense of joy and creativity, and let it guide you on your journey towards spiritual wholeness and fulfillment.

Reflection
Our inner child is a priceless aspect of who we are as individuals. Yet, as we navigate through life, we often forget about the child within us, leading us to feel spiritually lost and disconnected from our true selves. This is because we have been conditioned and programmed by the norms of society to prioritize productivity and success over our own emotional well-being.

Build it.
Furthermore, we may have experienced different types of trauma that have led us to become trauma-bonded, resulting in us disconnecting from our inner child. Our experiences, growth, beliefs, and values are unique to each of us, leading to a diverse range of perspectives and responses to life.
It is essential to reconnect with our inner child to achieve spiritual wholeness and fulfillment. This can be done by acknowledging and healing the trauma that may have caused us to disconnect in the first place. It also involves examining the conditioning and programming we have received from society and actively choosing to prioritize our emotional well-being and reconnecting with our true selves.

This is Not My Secret, It’s Yours
The inner child within us holds a profound wisdom that often goes unnoticed in the busyness of our adult lives. Dr. Gabor Maté, a renowned expert in the field of trauma and its effects on mental and physical health, has illuminated the importance of reconnecting with our inner child to heal the wounds that lie dormant within us.
In a world that often imposes rigid definitions of normality and abnormality, Dr.Maté invites us to question these constructs. He reminds us that what society deems "normal" may not align with our true essence and authentic selves. Each of us carries unique experiences, perspectives, and vulnerabilities, and it is through embracing and honouring our individuality that we can begin to redefine normalcy on our own terms.
Dr. Maté teaches us that trauma, whether it manifests as emotional, physical, or psychological wounds, is a universal human experience. It is not limited to specific events or circumstances but encompasses any experience that overwhelms our ability to cope and leaves a lasting impact on our well-being. By recognizing trauma as a wound, we shift from a judgmental perspective to one of compassion and understanding.
In our collective journey towards healing, it is crucial to find ways to support one another. Dr. Maté encourages us to cultivate a compassionate space where empathy, non-judgment, and connection can thrive. By embracing the wounded inner child within ourselves and others, we create an environment that fosters healing and growth. This may involve exploring therapeutic modalities, engaging in deep introspection, seeking support from trusted individuals, or joining communities that promote healing and self-discovery.
So, dear friend, let us embark on this transformative journey together. Let us honour our inner child and recognize the wounds that have shaped us. Through compassion, self-reflection, and a commitment to growth, we can begin to heal and reclaim our authentic selves. Together, we can redefine normalcy, rewrite our narratives, and create a world where every wounded soul finds solace and transformation.

In the murky depths, where shadows reside, A seed awakens, waiting to guide. With roots embedded, it seeks the light, Yearning to blossom, to reach new heights.
From the muddied waters, a stem ascends, Emerging gracefully, where beauty transcends. Petals unfurl, delicate and pure, A lotus emerges, resolute and sure.
In every fold, a story untold, Each petal whispers, secrets of old. A tapestry of hues, vibrant and bold, Reflecting the strength that lies untold.
For the lotus knows of struggle and strife, Yet it persists, with an unwavering life. In adversity's grasp, it finds resilience, Blooming with grace, defying all hindrance.
Its petals, a shield against life's storm, Embracing challenges, transforming the norm. Through murky waters, it rises above, A symbol of beauty, an emblem of love.
Oh, lotus of beauty, symbol divine, Your presence evokes a sense so sublime. With grace and strength, you teach us to see, That even in darkness, we can truly be free.
So let us embrace our own inner lotus, Harness our strength, for there's no need to fuss. With each petal unfurled, we'll rise and ascend, Radiating beauty until the very end
