I had the privilege of leading a salon group this past Sunday and as usual I was blessed with the exceptional people that attended. There were a small number of participants, but not a small amount of compassion and caring. One must be brave, and open minded to come to a salon group because you are asking very personal questions in a very open space. There is no privacy. 

Not only is my spirit always uplifted after one of my groups, but I also learn an exorbitant amount about the human psyche from those that are brave enough to show.  

Before each group starts I tell everyone to please listen closely to the questions others ask and the answer spirit gives them. Humans have a tendency to think they are alone in their pain and suffering. They believe no one else can possibly understand their anguish and hurt. They believe their circumstances are unique and different than others. In the groups, they find out very quickly that they are not alone in either their pain or their circumstances. 

The scenarios of suffering are different but the pain is the same. Heartache is heartache, no matter the scenario that creates it. 

This group was such a lesson in the wounds of the inner child. So many members of the group are now experiencing inner child pain. The inner child is the part of us that stopped growing in our childhood when we experienced abuse, whether it was mental, emotional or physical. That aspect of our soul simply stayed in that moment of pain and continues to manifest painful scenarios in our adult life in order to hopefully finally feel love from those that hurt us. 

The inner child just wants to be loved, which isn’t too much to ask. It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you have not taken the time to heal your inner child’s wounds you will continue to manifest pain for the opportunity to heal. You are not just a glutton for punishment when you seem to constantly create painful events and people into your life, you are simply trying to heal the original wound. 

I experienced an exorbitant amount of suffering as a child, from my father physically, mentally, emotionally abusing me, to being sexually molested. Plus, my grandmother was mentally cruel. It took me forever to heal my inner child. Those years and years it took for me to heal, helps me to understand and have compassion for those that are still suffering. It took me forever to understand how brave and strong I must have been in order to finally heal from my unresolved emotions. It took me what seemed like forever to forgive my abusers but more importantly to forgive myself. 

Forgiving myself was definitely a challenge. My actions at different times during my life felt like they could never be forgiven. I couldn’t understand why I did stupid, self-sabotaging stuff. At times, I couldn’t seem to stop myself from choosing the wrong actions. Once I discovered the wounds of inner child were what was causing me to hurt myself and others, I was able to start to heal the unresolved emotions. 

Once I had the realization that I was still suffering inside, I was able to start to heal, and the healing helped me stop sabotaging. Don’t think for a  moment that this was an easy process, it wasn’t. It took what seemed forever. What I realized was that as I was releasing, I was stirring the wounded pot of my inner child’s wounds. So, little by little all the pain surfaced.

Healing the inner child in the third dimension was incredibly difficult. You had to constantly look at every negative situation and then try to understand the source of the pain. Whether it was from this lifetime or another one, I always analyzed every negative  moment to see what I could discover about my pain. I wanted to get to the source of the pain by looking for my karma, and why the negative event or person was hurting me. I passionately wanted to learn about what made me mentally, physically and emotionally tick. So, I was always analyzing and discovering with past life regressions and Akashic records journey’s. It was incredibly healing. 

In the fifth dimension, I discovered that that kind of cerebral processing is no longer necessary. 

Now, all you have to do to heal, is LOVE. Take the time everyday to feel whatever is in your heart, then replace it with love. You don’t have to analyze anything that happen you just have to rise above it. Love yourself out of it! Focus on what makes you feel loved, and allow that love to surface. The love will heal the wounds.  You no longer need to dig deep into the inner child to uncover the pain, just feel it and love it. 

Now I realize that this is a very difficult request to make to love oneself but its easier than self loathing. It is no longer necessary to discover and relive the pain, instead just embrace the joy and love that you already have inside you and love, love, love yourself. 

Learning and allowing love for yourself isn’t easy but I found a way to understanding is through journey’s into the Akashic records. 

My personal trips into the Akashic records have given me a deeper understanding of not only why I am the way I am now but why I was the way I was. It has fast tracked me to healing my old wounds. In the Akashe you can not only find the source of your pain in all your lifetimes, but you can also speak to your spirit guides and look directly into the mental, emotional, physical truth of this moment too. It was a phenomenal source of learning to love myself by deeply understanding who I have always been. Akashic records journey are truly a wonderful way to help  heal. 

After years and years of unresolved emotions within my inner child, and finally healing those wounds, (I’m going to steal something my friend Martha said) “my inner child is now a grown up.”
