The Child at Your Door

[woodsgnome]

Among the regular places I visit for inspiration, a favourite is called "A Loving Healing Space". Today's entry (Wednesday, October 2, 2019) I found to be a wonderful reflection on inner child to which I'm sure many of us can relate.

If you link within the next couple of days, this entry titled "A Temple of Refuge" will be at the top, but will change in the future as he adds to these regularly (not necessarily daily). So if you come across this in the future you'll need to go to the link and then make sure you look for the October 2, 2019 entry. The link is:

Your inner child(ren) will feel welcomed, and you'll have found yourself as a good friend you can treasure.

This is lovely, woodsgnome.  A great reminder to me, deep as I am in the process of learning how to talk to, listen to, nurture, and when necessary, set boundaries for my inner children, instead of criticising, denying and suppressing them as I've done for so many years.

What a beautiful offering...

Glad you found this entry relevant, Boatsetsailrose. The imagery he uses about the child's arrival hit me the moment I read it.

I actually used to resist inner child work; based I think on a fear of what I'd find, or that it didn't seem 'real' enough. This entry, though, cleared out that mind fog and it was easy to welcome an aspect of 'me' that desperately needed, and still needs, loving acceptance.

That's good that you found the entry woods gnome and it really spoke to you.
That place that needs loving acceptance is a place I am really starting to see is so desperate to be met.
It's time...
