The child that once we were holds our feelings throughout our lives.
Every emotion that we experience is often felt from the child state. We may be having fun and feeling playful or shedding tears and feeling sad or acting as if we were having a tantrum. There are times when we all equate with these states.
I am sure you have said to someone "act your age" or "grow up" and conversely someone may have said those words to you?
We all retain our "child within" and this is generally the creative spirit that keeps us motivated and open to new experiences.
When the "Inner Child" is happy, contented and nurtured our lives are stable and balanced. Often, however, we carry negative childhood memories within and these can often cause us difficulties throughout our adult lives.
If it is agreeable to Rusty and yourselves, I would be willing to offer an online workshop within POW. This would consist of a few discussion threads, a couple of self hypnosis and visual imagery sound files (to be mailed to everybody) which would be listened to and (for emotional safety) followed immediately with discussion in the chat room.
The purpose of "Inner Child" work is to relieve the small part of us from isolation, fear and limitation. We provide new life to the part of us that took on board the realities of early life and coped as best we could during the years of human social conditioning. When we engage with the "Inner Child" we are actively giving life to a part of ourselves that has been left in the dark, too afraid, too rejected, or even too damaged to come into the light.

"When you hae a sense of your own identity and a vision of where you want to go in life, then you hae the basis for reaching out to the world and going after your dreams for a better life" ... Stedman Graham
