Your inner child looking at you through all the surface distractions of your life. How do they feel about what you have wrought in your adult life? <\/p>\n
The occurrence of this card indicates a need to locate your inner child<\/a>. It’s become a bit of a New Age clich\u00e9 to talk about your “inner child.” But this aspect of the psyche is as real as any bodily organ. A few years ago I had an experience of an unhappy inner child breaking through and it was shocking, devastating, but ultimately healing and my inner communication since then has been much more open.<\/p>\n Like a tree that has rings within it that remain from its earlier seasons, the adult psyche seems to be a superimposition of new layers on top of earlier personalities which continue to exist within. The inner child often embodies our emotional self, a self that is less conditioned, closer to our essence, and that is more independent of all the compromises and adaptations we have made to function as adults in the world. While your adult ego may be busy thinking and laboriously trying to navigate through all the practical problems of the adult world, your inner child lives closer to feelings, and is more concerned with love, nurture and imaginative play. It may want to rebel from the stern disciplines, suppression of feeling, and dutiful busyness of many adult lives. <\/p>\n Of course we should not be ruled by our inner child or any other subpersonality, but it is good to remain empathically in touch, especially during difficult times when your inner child is likely to be lonely and unhappy. Sympathetic consolation may do much to gain its cooperation.<\/p>\n Peel back the layers and find out what this core aspect of yourself has to say and how it views your present existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":978,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":{"card_id":"474","title":"Inner Child Looking at You","caption":" Your inner child looking at you through all the surface distractions of your life.
