Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow. – Kurt Vonnegut
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row
And pretty maids all in a row
What grows in your garden?
Do you have a rich inner life, well watered and fertilized with all of the things that make your inner child happy?
Your happy, fulfilled inner child is the key to experiencing joy no matter your current age.
But for most of us, the better question might be: How often do you take a few moments to tune in to the precious, starry-eyed little boy or girl living inside of you?
It can be only too easy to lose track of those other parts of ourselves in the business and busy-ness of every day adult life.
But even if you feel like your younger selves are lost to the deepest reaches of your inner being, I can promise you they are still there, waiting to be acknowledged. Waiting to come out and play.
Waiting to create a deeper sense of joy and presence in the everyday business and busyness of life.
Meeting that child (even if it’s for the first time) can be as easy as sitting quietly for a bit and asking that little one to come out and talk to you.
Can you feel the sense of that younger you peeping around the curtains of the stage of your subconscious mind and deeper realms of the body? If so, can you let them take center stage for a bit?
What does she/he look like? What are they wearing? What would they like to do as they stand in the center of your mind-stage?
Would they create a masterpiece from clay or paint? Or maybe fingerpaint the walls? Would they spend time in the woods or on the beach? Would they dance? What kind of dance? What colors make them happy?
My inner child is especially fond of hip-hop, Latin dancing, singing, dancing and skipping on nature walks and spicy foods. She loves painting, animals, seeing new places and talking to random strangers.🤷♀️. She’s also goofy, temperamental and a little emotional.
Adult me isn’t quite so outgoing, leans towards logic and isn’t always comfortable with strong emotions. Adult me holds pain and past trauma a little closer to the heart.😣.
So allowing her to stay integrated also keeps those opposing parts of my personality balanced.
A big part of this integration is finding time each week to tune in to how she’s doing, and find activities that will make her happy. I also try to tune in to those younger aspects of myself when I’m making a major decision – our inner children tend to be closer to our intuition and that which connects us to Source/God/All That Is.
Connecting to our intuition and Source also allows us to manifest our dreams and wishes and bring the desires of our hearts to us quicker and easier than we may have believed possible. ✨💫🪄
Win/win, right?😁
What are the tools that you use to connect to your beautiful inner child?
Much love and big hugs;
