Inner Child Angel or Brat?

Every person born on earth was a child at one time. We share this common aspect and there is a bond and sometimes bondage in the commonality of life experiences. Even within the same family people can have night and day experiences and be conditioned differently which is why birth order began to be studied. Most first born's are quite different from the second born children in temperament and traits. Middle children absorb everyone’s feelings it seems and the baby of the family is often given an experience of a more skilled parent and it’s typical for their world to be different than older siblings. In very dysfunctional families it may not be much of an improvement. The point is we all get something different. Your perceptions are your own of the experiences you had.

Childhood is a time of great conditioning and beliefs are formed. We also are born with dispositions as studies have shown that some people for example are just born more optimistic. Being a mix of nature and nurture we then overlay our interpretation of events and that formulates our beliefs which in turn create a blueprint for our life and can cast a stage for which each person plays out roles until there is a wakeup call and a lifetime of pain and beliefs are finally addressed.

Inner child work is one of my most powerful tools to teach and to help others to create a pathway forward. There are usually identifiable issues that currently present as problems and seem to be patterns in life that bind people and they are unable to move forward. With inner child work we can go into those beliefs and hurts and find the root cause for areas where a person is arrested in their development and not fully stable in their experiences.

If your inner child is an angel and you are a people pleaser and a giver then you have a place to start. Once you make contact with your inner child you can tell that little one inside the truth and encourage that part of yourself that suffers with perfectionism or self criticism to break a few rules. Question things and give that little angel permission to not do everything right or to always please others. Write a new script for the inner child and though the halo can stay let’s put a little rebellion in the mix.

If your inner child is a brat and you find that you are angry and impatient with yourself and others then your inner child may not feel that personal needs, space, wants or their voice has been addressed. Let your inner brat tell you their list of complaints and frustrations. Create a few boundaries to protect that little brat and write a new script giving the inner child permission to get needs met in healthy ways that bring you to peace and a stable center so their little devils tail won’t need to strike out at others. No biting please!

I send love to every inner child and like a Fairy Godmother encourage you to know that you are loved and the story does end happily ever after there’s just a little bit of clean up to get you there.

Blessings,

Rainbow
