Healing the Inner Child by Thich Nhat Hanh 

Thanks!

I remind the little boy inside of me of how strong, courageous, and resilient he is despite all that he experienced while growing up.

I love the little girl in me!!! She is my true love, she is strong, she stands up with me through thick and thin through the storms of life. United we stand till all eternity!

When you heal yourself you also heal others. Trauma is contagious. I realize my dad must have been hurting himself to be the way he was throughout my childhood. Breaking the cycle is so important ❤

So many of us are hurt and wounded by our parents or caretakers growing up and then grow up with wounds that we may not notice because of how normal it becomes to us. Like the video says, this gets passed down from parents to kids and the cycle continues. Healing is so important ! We must be forgiving because hurt people hurt people even if they don’t want to. You may love someone with all your heart but if you were never taught or exampled a healthy way of loving, that relationship will fail. Whether it’s with your partner, kids, or even friends. When you are not raised in a healthy environment you learn these unhealthy ways of dealing with emotions, communication, and this will 100% affect your life and the way you connect with people and relationships. The video is right, as a child, the smallest things can wound our hearts and then as we get older we take the effects of these wounds with us and it steals our peace and happiness. If you didn’t feel truly loved and supported as a child/teenager growing up then as an adult you must learn to have that love and compassion for yourself and support yourself. This is how you break down the unhealthy hard wall that was built to protect yourself from more hurt and pain. When you have a wall built up, you push away good things, good people and opportunities away without realizing it. Unfortunately for many, we grow up in these toxic homes with a lot of stress and chaos that it’s how we learn to deal with the things and people in our life and it’s sad because we are a result of a toxic environment. Until you become self aware and choose to heal and love yourself and the people that are important to you and you learn to communicate healthier and deal with stress better and be better in general, you will always keep reliving your childhood experiences because it’s what’s normal to you. 🧡 I pray that anyone who watches this video takes the time to heal and take care of their inner child with love and compassion ❤️For me, I’m done… im going to unlearn all the toxic I learned growing up and do whatever it takes to make sure my future partner and kids never experience being in a toxic household like I did. I promise to talk to my kids and partner with love, understanding, compassion and respect. I will get my happy ending and dream of being the best mom and wife I possibly can 🥰

I had a dream a week ago. I saw my younger self. She was about 8. And I came and gave her a hug. Told her I was there for her and wanted to protect her. If this isn’t the greatest form of love I don’t know what is.

“ …we can begin to heal. We have to reassure the child that even though that fear is real it no longer has any basis we have become an adult we can protect and defend ourselves” Wow. This is so helpful, I was recently told I needed to heal my inner child and this is so helpful to start the process. To acknowledge all the pain and say I understand, I’m sorry and its ok.

"If we don't have a problem in the present moment, it means that we don't have a problem"- Simply beautiful.

I tried this exercise and role play with my inner child and oh I felt the emotions as if I was a child again. Definitely cleansing to my spirit. Thank you

Nice one to remember to repeat...to your inner child...I love you..I am sorry ..please forgive me...thank you !!...now start behaving like the awesome child of God you are....the bogey man and all fears are replaced with love and light!

Every experience good or bad leads us to who we are at this very moment.

My mother is a War Baby. The devestation and carnage she witnessed is unfathomable to me! She's the biggest Badass I know, and both my parents did the absolute best they knew how.

Listening to this has made me for the first time, Deal with my inner child, Allowing myself to go back to the most painful memories, And actually letting go, Understanding that my dad was once a child, Not always a monster, Coming to terms with the fact that my mom to had hope's and dreams, That she to went through a traumatic time, Which took the bond of mother and child away, But I can live in the past or embrace the inner child and for once just be okay and even though I'm in a unhappy situation, For the first time I can now take it as lessons learnt and get up and know I as a adult can stop what I've allowed & become a happier and better woman. This was truly a Blessing hearing this

I felt so touched with my old inner child. My eyes were filled with tears and joy. I was imagining that i was walking, talking, laughing with my inner child image. A way to come out of from one's bad childhood and remove all the negativity. Thank u

All I can say is that I have been practicing meditation for more than a year and at the very beginning meditation is concentrated only on the upright spine, on the cycle of inhalation and exhalation that go the way of the diaphragm and partly the lungs that I stop for 3-4 seconds, totally without breathing. The second part of meditation is the loud expulsion of sound through a wide-open mouth that sounds like: Aaaaaaa a total of 7 times where each refers to a particular chakra. After that, my mouth closes and I enter into total silence. In this silence, I see myself as A child of only a few years, I see my old house, I see how I walk in a dewy meadow with tiny feet, and I see a smile on the face of my grandmother who raised me. I am completely filled with happiness and love and I thank the Creator for His mercy. This is followed by a singing that speaks of LIBERATION from material world!! So, how I came to the realization of myself that I was going back as a child, I don't know, but it really helps. With regard, ROMANA from Croatia!! 🌬️🌀🌌🙏🏻

thinking about my parents as 5 year old babies, really puts things into perspective 💔

30 PLUS YEARS OF Therapy, Psychiatry, etc....... ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ THIS IS ALL I NEEDED😘🙏 THANK YOU FOR THIS

I have a loving outstanding mother.. Yet, by other family members I was deeply wounded, I was bullied, called names, called the least pretty of my sisters, I was outcasted in school, I got beaten, and most of the times I didn't feel loved by some of my own family.. I want to heal, this wounded little girl is still hurting no matter how many times I've concealed it

I couldn't get myself to watch it, a few minutes in and i couldn't stop crying. I don't think I'm ready yet.

The Speaker's Voice alone is so healing and comforting. I will listen to this daily for 21days! My mom threw me away as a newborn baby. I now understand she wasn't the problem. I have loved her though through the years unable to hate her for all the abuse she put me through. Thank you!

Wow this was what I needed tonight. It’s exactly where I am on my healing journey

I feel like I’m wounded by my mom. All these feelings of total intolerance for her came after suffering a loss of a family member. The pain was immense. I read that it’s called the dark night of the soul. Something has happened to me since that. Vivid dreams of people hugging me. Watching me, telling me they love me. Also, I can’t tolerate keeping up with certain people anymore. I can’t control it. It’s just happening. And one of those people that I just can’t stand anymore is my mom. All the things she’s done in the past to me are flooding my thoughts. I don’t want to dislike her so much but I do and it doesn’t go away. Im going to try this meditation and see what happens.

Before skool life was perfect then the system wants to produce slaves . The Akashic Records are everything simultaneously . Peace to Earth .

Meditation is very healing and yes empathy is a must I understand what he is saying ..peace love compassion 💜💙🧡

God bless my mother always

My mother had a harder childhood than I did and it why she tried hard to teach me the tools I would need to learn and grow and she by her actions taught me to want better our children if we always dwell on what we didn’t get then we don’t grow and I am not an expert on anything but I jus know we gotta grow and we gotta love our self. Namaste love and light and Know your worth and if anyone treated my loved one less than they deserved I would prob freak out lol I love my family.

Thank you so much for sharing wisdom. Because I'm a spiritual being I listen to all forms of philosophy I wrote a letter to the little girl within. I told her I'm sorry for allowing that pain to hurt her, Thanks again for sharing. There are so many people that are hurting and they hide behind mask. It is important to acknowledge the little child within. Peace and Happiness follow all of you beautiful beings, Shalom...

This is so healing to my wounded inner child. Thank you. This means so much.

Thank u 🙏

This is truly a masterpiece. I love this video every sentence makes so much sense to me .

This guy is a genius. A wonderful human being. I'm glad for his teachings.

My childhood was wonderful And happy . Maybe we could heal the adult that can be seen. All the same I really love the teachings of Thay .

If you didn’t experienced the bad in this life you would not know what the good is. Words of wisdom from my mama ( she experienced a harder life than I did as a child ..we gotta grow. We gotta love ourself and know our worth prayer s for wounded children that didn’t grow. 💜💜💜

Amazing technique! I believe this can also be applied to other ages as well. To my past self, there is nothing to fear, the experiences you had helped you grow into the person I am today where life only exists in the here and now. The only moment in which you can truly feel free

I heard something the other day. " the you you are now is the one who would protect your child self

Thank you 🙏..I can relate , I just didn’t know how to cure my inner pain .. I just wanted to be loved ( difficult with two emotionally unavailable parents ) ..I still do .I’m over 60 years old now , with one adult beautiful son who I’m forever proud of . I know I ‘bled’ all over him , probably all his life , and that effects me mentally, the shame . He’s a wonderful grounded young man ..so I guess I did something right . I have EVERYTHING I need in my life , but love ..so the emptiness continues. I will practice this technique..I thank you 😊 x

Divine Blessings of Love and Light to all ❤️☮️🕉 OM Namo Bhagavate Buddha Devaya 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Thank you I wish I had this audio as I was growing up and continue as an adult...yet today is a perfect day to listen to learn...I refuse to let the past guide my life...The healing I welcome you, my inner child.

"inner child".... extremely great video. post more video about this inner child

Thank you :)

I tried this before I knew about this years ago and now aswell. It has led me to have more compassion for my father. But not enough I don’t think. Not just yet. I do think we will get there. I feel I should heal myself in certain ways first before trying to forgive fully. If he is not ready to forgive himself and to be forgiven then maybe I should heal enough in ways that I don’t need a verbal apology. To a point where I just inner stand that I broke the vicious cycle. And it’s all for my children.

Thay influenced my healing ❤️‍🩹 of my head 🧠 & heart ❤️😎👍🙏🏻

Thank you for this audio ✨️

Powerful!

This is a great way for myself and I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH MYSELF AS PARENT AND FAMILY ❤🙏🙏😊

Thank You

Thanks 🙏🏼

This is beautiful 😍 ❤ you always come across strong lessons when your ready for Awakening. Healing the inner child is liberating!

Thank you🙏Please assist me in getting back to that vulnerable,wounded 5year old,I always say I won't be a victim maybe that's why it's challenging. I started meditating and I'm not constant and I'm working through it, it's a lot of unlearning hahaha it's mind blowing when we realize we don't know much as we thought about the fundamentals of our existence. But I'd like to get my 5year old self involved in the present. I'd like to grow that relationship and ofcourse improve my relationships with others as well. I hope this finds you well

Thank you for this video! When we are little we experience so much without even realizing. Im glad I have decided to let old traumas and experiences go.

This is beautiful

Corporal punishment, shaming blaming comparing, ridiculing, belittling emotions, ridicule, sarcasm, sexual motional physical abuse, denied, a child grows up unloved. Behaviour is abusive if it instills fear, causes physical or emotional pain, if it serves to control. Unconditional love and acceptance

Que liberación! Gracias, me hizo llorar mucho y yo sé que las heridas del alma se están sanando

Gratitude 💕✨

Healing words🙌♥️

Thank you so much..

Thank you❤️

Love and peace ✌️

Wonderful practice ❤

This is life changing

I miss that little boy used to be so joyful full of curiosity charisma a desire for adventure now it’s all gone ..

This is so deep

Thank u so much for this ....brought so much tears but i am grateful for this healing technique...I really needed this at this time ..✨💗🙏

I still cannot forgive them. I’m past this point. I’m past the point of seeing the inner children of people. Now there’s another responsibility, because they still have a choice. Not to repeat their fucking mistakes. I still resent them. Cause they’re still doing the same things. Nobody tell me they didn’t know. I had to learn and do everything on my own. I had to create the power i didn’t have within my own. I had to be FULLYY responsible of myself and my actions. Them not being able to this is not forgivable. It’s not okay. I have suffered So fucking much because of them. And because of all their ancestors.

Will work on my inner child very much enjoyed ☺️

This is absolutely gold dust...brilliant...

Love your advices...!!!

I might not have to heal from traumas but inner child meditations are helping me a lot with embracing my authenticity that I’ve for so many years hidden from society for fear of judgment. Neglecting my inner child has forced me to become more hard on myself and as a result I became very insecure and negative. I’ve been going through healing process since 2021 however it isn’t quite long since I started to work on healing my inner child. Every morning after I wake up and brush my teeth, I start my mediation practice. This is a moment where I focus only on myself, and no one else and nothing else matters. While I meditate I take some time to speak to God and I speak to my inner child and feel it coming out. Ever since I started with this practice I’ve been feeling more carefree and started to do the activities I enjoyed as a kid such as painting, enjoying moments in nature, being adventurous and curious about the world, appreciating cartoons I used to watch as a kid, being smiley and happy, and appreciating people without judging. Healing is not only about traumas but also about getting back what we’ve lost as we grew up. I feel so much happy, at peace and full of love now and I wish everyone to find their happiness, peace and embrace themselves 💗 stay blessed everyone 🥰

I've a shit-loads of inner child's, n parts, as an MKULTRA survivor, just speaking out and waking the next day discovering I've not been murdered is either a blessing or a curse whichever one and or both could or might be optional. What finally impressed me about this man was when a young girl asked what she could do about her anger in regards to.......he mulled her question, he didn't attempt to rescue her, he treated her & her question with equal respect I've seen him give and deliver adults, as I've seen him give those of us who may only be able to listen...but hero worship may only temporarily change my world view, but? Real, mutual respect for now feels ok & ok's not bad.... And it will do for now.

Thanks so much I had never realized that you have to bring the child to now, was spending a hell a lot of time in pain trying to be by her side and then cuddling her if she appeared in here now and I felt lost again. I did notice it didn't quite work, I was being so respectful of her pain, I wasn't helping us move beyond... this sounds like a fairy tale I would have loved as a kid. It has been such a helpful vision, even of my father who must been afraid so afraid so little. Thank you. 🙏

🙏

Love en licht7777❤⚘✋✊

Thank you so much for this message a sensation of love came from me and I passed it on to my family🇬🇧❤❤🙏🙏

The little girl in me yearning to be held by her mother, doing everything to please her but only to hear the searing words of hate. I hold her as she cries and waits for God's arms around her. He sends her the forest animals to heal her and take those awful memories away. I'm grateful to God and his gift to us, his own son and his spirit to live in us.

There is a little girl who still craves attention from her dad

Telling my child She is 29. Tender 5 yr climbing down two story TV antenna to be safe. That's how brave, scared I was. Still quite scared at times. I have a pup now. That helps

Inner child work is where I am during my continual healing journey. This is really insightful! Thank you for sharing. I plan to implement these techniques ❤

I remember feeling the pain my mother felt as a 5-year-old child when I was not much older myself. The thing is, I don't think my mother was able to see the small child in me. I believe she saw her own parents in me. So she didn't get the childhood she deserved and neither did I.
