Subconscious mind example

Our subconscious mind is in control of 95% of our lives. Since we were born, the subconscious mind has been fed different information in the form of feelings. The inner child is part of the subconscious. It’s a scary notion to realize our lives are pretty much dictated by our past fears, angers, traumas, and experiences. The way to clear some of this out of our subconscious and replace it with positive feelings is through meditation. Meditation is a way to resonate with feelings that will get penetrated by the subconscious, thus helping us change the course of our lives!

John Bradshaw was a pioneer in the inner-child world. He wrote an inner child book called Homecoming that was very successful in the 1990s. He boldly suggests we peer into our childhood home and connect with that inner child.

In my book, Discover the Power of the Secret Within: Healing Your Inner Child to Manifest Your Dreams, I guide you into a meditation for healing the inner child since this is one surefire way to heal the inner child.

My inner child book excerpt: Inner child healing meditation

So, let’s start the process of going back to our childhood. We are going to do this in a more defined way. At this point, I ask you to please keep an open mind. You see, the problem is in the mind; therefore, the solution is also in the mind, and we will be tapping into the subconscious mind, which is where the imprint of your personality has been created.

We are going to imagine going back to our childhood home and seeing our child. Once you determine the feelings of pain, hurt, fear, or perhaps all of these, it is time to go back to that time in your life. Sit with your eyes closed and remember that time in your life when something happened and you needed support. Try to remember a time in your life that you felt particularity alone, hurt, or unloved, perhaps shamed, ridiculed, or a feeling of alienation or abuse. It’s okay if you don’t remember a negative time in your life as a child. You can just go back to a calm time too. Go back to that time and see everything you can. Can you remember the smells or sensations of cold or hot? Look at the colors, and try to put yourself in that space and time. Look at the furniture in the room and the light peering in from the window. Perhaps you are in your backyard and see flowers and swings. Try to remember everything about your childhood home. See your inner child and imagine what he or she is wearing. What does your child look like? See every aspect of your inner child. Take your time with this.

I suggest you close your eyes and imagine yourself as an adult approaching your little child and comforting him or her as a parent would. Tell your child all the things you need to hear to feel comforted and loved. Imagine yourself as an adult sitting with your child and actually parenting the child with love and feelings of safety and concern. Hug your child if you like. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Do it in a way that is comfortable for you and, at the same time, comforting and loving for the child. Really concentrate on the feelings of love.

When you have made that connection with your child and nurture and love your inner child, something will change in your subconscious mind to a positive feeling. If you were fearful at the time as a child, that fear will be offset by love, which is a stronger emotion. Or if the feeling was one of shame, that will also decrease in your subconscious mind as an adult. If it is a feeling of not being loved, loving your child will make you feel more loved as an adult and enable you to not be so needy when it comes to relationships. It could also help one curb their addiction because you are filling the hole in the soul or that void from not getting your childhood needs met with your own self-love.

End of the excerpt.

The key in this meditation is to resonate with the feelings and try to overcome negative feelings with positive feelings of love, comfort, security, courage, self-esteem, etc.

Our inner child is yearning for love, comfort, and support. Recognizing this aspect of yourself and nurturing your inner child with daily words of affirmation, meditations, and visuals, you will begin healing the inner child. The more the inner child heals, the more healing our adult selves will feel, and our relationships with family, friends, and work will improve.
