"When we recognize that our suffering is based on images
instead of current reality, then living happily in the
present moment becomes possible right away."
Thich Nhat Hahn
It is no wonder we desperately seek peace outside of our lovely selves. We have our higher self attempting to guide us, our ego misdirecting us, and our inner child pitching a hissy fit! Chaos within leaves very little room for clarity. Our higher self adjusts to be silent, and our ego minimized, but the inner child ... we must take her hand and heal her.
It is not easy to discover this inner being as she has been buried beneath trauma, disillusionment, and endless repression. An invitation needs to be extended to her, informing her that it is not only safe, but imperative for her to come out and play. As we reintroduce ourselves, a childlike freedom escorts us forward.
Apologies need to be offered to this little one, and with heightened listening, we begin to understand her compounded dysfunction created by our own personal detachment. Welcoming this child fully into our lives, we experience a sense of completion with creative flair and unlimited energy. Hold her, hug her, and welcome her back.
