    Its so sad that so many people grew up in dysfunctional homes. Victims of all kinds of abuse. Our little selves didnt deserve it.
    I hope we all heal. Much love to everyone reading this.

      lack of love and attention creates fear because its the fear of death ..this traumatizes and create a feeling of clingly .to SURVIVE ,even though you dont need it ..its a natual reflex the kid crying for attention ,because they need to cry for help ,to get help..

      I agree, it is up to us to break this cycle... let's love our inner child but as well our children, hoping they will not have to deal with similar problem.

      I decided to stop this meditation in first 5 min due to the repetitive unloved...unaccepted...un...ect. This may serve a person who has just discovered that past/present abuse is affecting their whole life however, repetitive messages and imagery only bring past emotions into the present. So if this meditation does eventually get to healing, forgiveness and letting go, fast forwarding to that part would be more uplifting

    I didn't think I would cry during this meditation but envisioning myself as a small 5-7 year old child, in my green sweater and brown corduroy pants, happily dancing and laughing, it broke me. Knowing what that sweet little girl had to endure and what was coming to her. I started to cry when I took her into myself and told her that I was going to protect her no matter what. I told her the world had been cruel to her and that she didn't deserve any of it. I told her she's loveable and so so beautiful. I told her she was worthy and capable of a kind and gentle love and deserved nothing less than the world. I was such a sweet child and deep down I hope my sweetness never died. I hope that now that she's within me, I can protect her no matter what happens. I only hope that one day when I have a daughter, I treat her more gentleness, love, and care that my own parents couldn't give me due to their own emotional unavailability.

      Melanin Subliminals that’s awesome that you made that step. I recently wrote my inner wounded child a letter and told her all the stuff you did. Then I told her to fly away with her broken wings and just enjoy feeling free and not being scared. I have held own to her as a crutch for too long. I’m 51 now. Our childhood was filled with pain, neglect and abuse while I was still in my mothers womb. I let her go be a child now and I’m working continuously helping my wounded adult to live as a healthy adult. Many blessings to you. You will be a good mom because I made it my life intention to not let any neglect, abuse or generational curses go past me to my children. And I did it. I have two amazing and healthy grown sons ages 19 and 25.

      And for that reason you will be an awesome parent. I too was about five years old when I started feeling my families dysfunction. I am now 57 years old, a mother, a grandmother and this meditation helped me heal my inner child. I vowed to be a different kind of parent than mine were to me. My daughters are 29 and 31 now and they thank me for parenting them and loving them the way I did. They are strong independent women with a voice and opinion all their own. When my voice was taken from me I made sure my daughters had theirs . It is an awesome feeling to look at these two human beings that are healthy and know that I broke the cycle of dysfunction, you will do the same and your children will be as healthy and happy and lucky as mine are. Good luck to you ❤️

    WOW! So powerful! 🤯🙏🏻
    Yesterday I asked myself why..why do I feel empty inside so often? Why, when my life is truly amazing and I have so much to be grateful for. Why haven’t I ever felt comfortable in my skin. Why do I feel like I have to be loved by a man to feel complete. I did some research and came to the realization that I have been a codependent adult that struggles with self love. Then I came to you tube to find a video that may be able to help me change it.
    I had no idea the pain and struggle that was still buried deep within me. I thought I had gotten over a traumatic time in my childhood. I had decided years ago it was time to get over it. I thought I was over it. Through the use of this video I found out it was just tucked away.
    On this journey I went back to my 8 year old self. To the first time my ex stepdad inappropriately touched me. To this day I still remember the whole scene. From the night gown I was wearing, him standing behind me, then him reaching down the front of it and fondling my pubescent breasts. After that day I experienced fear until my mom left him when I was 14. My inner child was scared every single day, wondering when the next violation of her body would occur. She felt guilty for not telling anyone. Guilty for allowing it to carry on for so long. My inner child cried so hard. That part of my life happened over 30 years ago and the pain I felt today was so incredibly fresh. It was very therapeutic.
    Today I am able to make sense of this feeling I have carried around for so long.
    I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me heal. I WILL love myself. I AM ENOUGH! 🙌🏻❤️👏🏻 🥳

We were an unexpected addition to the family who got a grown-up, smart and perfect son. somehow we knew we weren't welcomed. about an year ago my brother- a 56 bolding man told me that our birth ruined his life. well, just like his parents' apparently..

    When I first heard of inner child work I thought it was a load of rubbish. How very wrong I was. I’ve now done this meditation countless times and the healing it has brought to my childhood traumas has been profound. We can’t change the past, but we can transform our response to it with work like this, and also transform our lives now. Thank you so much Michelle.
    ------
    For anyone else who is sceptical I’ve written a quote out from the meditation which for me is the most powerful truth of this work:
    “This beautiful child gets another chance, with the help and direction of you and your healthy adult self. The mind does not know if this is happening now or in the past, in your imagination, or in reality. It is all the same to the mind, for there is no ‘time’. This process reparents this wounded child and gives them a fresh start.”

    I don't know what came over me. I went back to a picture on the mantelpiece of me when I was just a baby. With a dummy in my mouth, I looked at the camera. There is fear, uncertainty, a type of despair. When we connected behind the door, I felt overwhelmed by grief and loss. I hugged him so deeply. He was never given a chance, so he carried on wilting without love's nourishment. But I am healing. We are looking out for each other. We will find love, out there as much as within. And we will help others make this transition of forgiveness.
    Thank you. This was incredible.

      Same with me, in a dark grey room, sitting alone on the floor,her back turned to me, didnt see the face, only responded to me with a hug,no communication. I was crying so hard,still am.
      What do you think that means?
      Funny that i dont have any "bad" memories about that time period, i i definately remember that room,the place.

    I just did this mediation , since i am pondering about what happened to me in childhood ,I have many memories. This was the first time I able myself to look into the eyes of me in childhood when i was six years of age, first time i took my little hands and hugged me and told me how much I love me and all the beauty i see in that child that is me. I cried the whole time. It was magical to go back in timeline and talk to me as a child. I felt as if she were alone there and waiting for me to come. Thank you soooooooooooooooo much ,I will try it again through thought since she is definitely with me now. She is going to see many great things happen for her.

    Seeing my inner child alone, quiet, disassociated,.. it broke my heart. Only 4 and already so emotionally and mentally exhausted. All she wanted was to be held, and talked to. It was so nice to just be present with her. But when it got to the merging with the inner child part.. she started crying and getting nervous. Even if what you know is scary, the unknown can feel a lot scarier. I understand. I think I’ll be doing this meditation a couple more times. My inner child needs gentle consistency and patience 💛

    The best inner child mediation I’ve ever done! I feel so cleansed. I cried the whole time. I envisioned the day my dad left.... I felt abandoned and unlovable since then. I opened the door to my inner child and before I could say who I was. She grabbed my hand and hugged me.. that’s ALL I needed as a child. Just one hug from my mom and dad letting me know that I was loved. They never could do that. 😢. It’s ok though. Bc I gave it to myself! Thank you for this.

    Cant explain with words how much this helped me release, I think im an empath and Ive had really rough years in my life. Bullied since elementary school, in highschool I started people pleasing, still I kept helping people because its in my nature, whereas Ive been used for my kindness. last summer i lost track of my own boundaries and have been dealing with emotional ptsd, I have spasms in my face, my head shakes at random times, It hurts when people laugh because Ive been so judged. Sorry for spreading negative energy anyways, this meditation helped me clear alot of things and it was the first time in about a year that I had a good cry keep up with the good work much love

    This was surprisingly negative for me. Instead of letting go and having compassion for my little self, I felt guilty during the meditation when you said that little innocent children should never have to emotionally look after their parent. It’s not their job. I agree and I felt so guilty because for about five years I’ve subjected my own kids to that to an extent since I have been so depressed. I’m out of that now and stronger now and my kids are balanced and happy but I felt a huge amount of guilt with this meditation. Where to go from here I don’t know.

    I have listened to dozens, if not 100+ different meditations on TH-cam, this is the first I ever felt I needed to comment on. Thank you so much for this meditation, it helped me more than any other by far. Normally I struggle to visualize what I'm told to, or I go in and out, but I saw so clearly not one but many of my younger selves, from toddler to teen, and felt all of their pain at not being loved, how lost and hopeless they felt while being abused and put through shelters, being alone, it had me sobbing for them the entire time. Not only that, but it gave me a whole new perspective on how my older selves feel about me. It felt so good to hug and comfort my younger selves, I just held them and they all cried too, having never felt love or affection before, having never been seen. I realized that no one can love them better than I. I realized why I hurt so much now, and that it was completely understandable, because I had never been truly loved or comforted either. I thought of my daughter and how affectionate I am with her, and how I never received even a fraction of that, but that I deserved it, my parents just weren't capable. So much healing just happened for me, it was unbelievable. I even felt my older selves with me, looking back on this moment and pretty much telling me "see? We're here with you too. We love you just as much. You've always been strong and good and worthy of love, you just didn't receive it and therefore didn't know, but we're here to support you too." I really can't believe how much this did for me, I can't even express how grateful I am for this meditation, it opened my eyes to things I couldn't have imagined before. I really needed this. I even sat with my "selves" for a while afterward and talked to them, telling them they wouldn't be lost forever, that they just hadn't met anyone yet that could love them properly. Just thank you so much, you have a gift, truly, thank you for sharing it. ❤❤❤

      That was the most profound inner healing I’ve ever heard from any one as of yet. I only hope that I can reach that place inside myself and reach that inner child and love them and understand that anything that may have happened in their past can be revealed and healed without any shame or fear. See I was born in an area where I was told that children should be seen and not heard and because of that I was never able to open up and reveal all the turmoil ,sham and pain that was going on in my young childhood life. I’m so grateful to those of you who are willing to share your stories of pain and sorrow. Just wanting to reach out to anyone and know that I’m not alone in the world and that I’m still worthy of being loved and of loving others. Thank you , you are a great inspiration to those of us who have still not connected with her or his inner child and how easy it is to reach out to oneself and give self healing. Thank you so much for sharing your story you are a beautiful soul and strong soul .God bless P.S. The Angels are with us all.

    The minute I met my inner child, I couldn't stop telling her I loved her. I could just see little me in my blue plaid school dress and I looked so confused. I gave little me a hug at first, and she didn't really reciprocate it, but I just kept telling her I loved her. I gave her room to play and be herself until she was finally ready to hug me back. Even when I zipped her inside of me, I couldn't stop hugging myself and telling her I love her. I really needed this. Thank you so much ❤️
    Edit: forgot to add that I was on the brink of tears the entire time. Honestly, I just want to close my eyes and say hi to her all over again, but I know she's inside of me and I will always look out for her.

    This was so powerful to me. I've been in therapy for too many years and after a change of professional considering how deep my emotions became after the quarantine we started looking at my inner child and how many "little things" that happened in my childhood have made me the way I've been until now (insecure, without confidence, with low self esteem and having relationships with attachment issues). My therapist gave me a list of emotions and I decided to go after the feeling I had when I was little and suddenly I came to this meditation. When I saw myself small I couldn't stop crying, she smiled when she saw me, I caressed her face and without hesitate she hugged me. I felt so light weighted when the meditation was over and the only thing that I was able to do was Hug and kiss my daughter and let know that no matter what could happen she is important, special and very very loved.

    Amazing! It's cool! I'm back to 11-12 yrs old of Amanda. This is my most traumatic period in childhood (though it was teenage) where my aunt kept pressured me to get the highest marks in school & she yelled at me if I didn't get the highesr marks despite everyone knows I'm smart. I met 11-12 yrs old Amanda wore Secondary School uniform with braided hair (my hairstyle when I was student). She said "Don't leave me". While writing this I remember to that incident (my aunt yelled at me) but I'm not sad anymore. Thanks a lot, Michelle.

I was severely codependent and didn’t realise what an effect this was having on my life. Today, after much work on myself, including regularly doing inner child healing work, I feel like a new person, which ironically is the ME that’s been there all along.

    Omg i always thought why people in the comments be like they were crying and sobbing their hearts out after these meditations and after listening to it for the first time i m literally crying and feeling so emotional and overwhelmed. Thank you for this❤️❤️
    Here is my experience on it:-
    Day 1:- i cried a lot feeling sorry for my the child realising how alone she was and how she felt at that time. About what she needs and she didnt get it because she believed she don't deserve it. I felt guilty and cry with her and promised her to never leave her and that i m with her. It feels like i lived my past again with my present one.❤️
    Day 2:- today i smiled a little seeing the hope in her. I talked to her, gave her some affection, hold her hand, kissed and hugged her and told her that i m here for her everyday. And she was amazed to listen all the things i told as if it was all new for her. Today i held her hand and travelled with her in the present and showed her where she belongs. I provide her peace and support that a child needs from her parents. I m her guardian.❤️
    Day 3:- Today i travelled to the past alone. I walked to the place where i lived as a child. I was at the door when i saw her drawing and painting. She was playing with water, brushes and colors mixing them together. It was the only thing she loved at that time without anyone expecting her anything about it. It was only her thing. So she was happy doing that everytime. She can do it all day. I saw her and i smiled seeing her innocence and her love for colors. I walked and asked if i can come closer to her. She was confused but anyway said hello to me. I told her who i am. And held both her hands and kissed them. I told her that i m here for her and no one can do anything bad to her. I told her what was all wrong but felt right to her because everyone was saying that to her continuously. I apologized to her and said that this will never happen again. I held her hand again and hugged her. She was uncomfortable so i gave her some comfort and support by giving my hand to her. I took her out of her house and told her about what life is. That life is much more than what she see in her surroundings. That life is much more than the tiny mistakes she has done but still felt big enough to hold herself back and felt sorry for herself. That she will someday understand all of this. And i will be with her in all of that moments. And that i love her no matter what. No grades, paintings, competitions and expectations can define my love for her. And it will not be less by any of these reasons.❤️❤️

    This is great, but I wish it was more general. I don't really love myself and I have low self-esteem but it's not really from my parents, they were stable and they loved me quite enough. I believe its from school. When I was in elementary school I had really bad friends and got pretty much bullied for most of it. I believe it's what caused me to think so badly about myself now. Not everyone's lack of self-love is because of their parents or caretakers and I wish this meditation addressed that.
    Also this video sorta made me realize that every time one of my bullies was mean or critical to me, or really every time anyone is mean to anyway, it's because of a lack of self-love. And I should never feel like I deserve people to be mean to me or abuse me or do anything negative to me.

    for some reason i either feel a numb kind of sadness, or a whole tsunami of emotions regarding my childhood. my mother hadn't healed her own childhood trauma and consistently made me feel like i was a bother or some kind of task that bothered her and didn't respect and fulfill my emotional needs. it is so crazy that some days ago i felt so vulnerable and like an abandoned child and after this meditation i feel empty about it, i guess i repressed a lot of emotions. though, this meditation is a beautiful way to be there for your younger self and fill up those holes from childhood neglect, i will definitely come back to it :)

    I've listened to many meditations on inner child healing and yours is truly beautiful. I could really imagine my little child standing in front of me. It made me cry. The part where the child climbs into the body is so powerful. It's like saving it from the environment it had to live in. Thank you for this❤

    I cried while doing this. Remembering how my mother never once in her life told me she loved me.I don’t blame her. It’s the way our culture is. My culture shows love by doing, I guess, but not verbally saying it. But I broke this pattern by telling my kids I love them every day. I can’t think of anyone that didn’t grow up in a dysfunctional home. I think we all did and is the reason our society is the way it is.

    I don't shed tears very often, mainly because I felt embarrassed showing upset in front of other people and learned that it wasn't a grown-up thing to do, which only resulted in higher levels of stress and frustration when things would inevitably go wrong. But imagining myself comforting and rescuing that innocent little boy from my childhood home was really liberating and allowed me to experience the emotional release that I had been seeking for quite a while.

    Thank you so much for this. Like many others, I cried when I visualized my child self. I honestly did not want to let go of her and just wanted to take everything that ever happened to me away from her. Lots and lots of healing. Also felt energy go up my spine (was kind of blocked near sacral chakra) Will be using this again.

    I can’t even begin to describe how this felt. I really feel like my inner child walked into my zipper and she’s in me now. I’m crying so much in relief. This meditation was anything but calming LOL but it was super effective. The visualization is astounding. I love my parents so dearly but I understood the dysfunction of codependency and how it was showing up so strongly in my relationships, especially my previous one to the point I was getting sick. I also got massive allergies all over my body. It’s been healing and during the meditation it showed up in my left hand (I’m a lefty) and I was incessantly scratching. I held my hand and told myself everything is safe here because I was taken back to childhood trauma memories. I feel a higher inner sense of power. I’ve been working on my solar plexus but this core wound has opened up my chest and my face feels elated and energized with warmth. What a gift this recording is 💕

    Yes, our parents' wounds raised us and they did not even know this. I did this meditation whilst at work and I got to a point, during the meditation and some tears, when I told myself "I don't care if anyone walks in". I love children and knowing that I am a mother responsible for my own child (my inner child) is amazing. Thank you Michelle

    So I'm fairly new to the whole meditation thing. I have never cried as hard as I have cried with this one. Actually visualizing me picking up little Brad and holding him to my chest and telling him its all going to be okay... my Lord my God... so healing. I may do this one everyday

    This was such an amazing experience for me and my inner child. I was unaware of how much my inner child trauma had affected my whole life. I told my inner child that I loved her and that she is good enough. I cried, we hugged and she was her beautiful joyful self. I vowed to protect her by putting her first and setting healthy boundaries. I'm still crying... This is so cathartic! I'm truly grateful and thankful for this awareness and the opportunity to cleanse and heal. We are beaming with love, light and joy ❤️🌻✨👑

    Thank you so much for sharing. I just got out of a relationship with a covert narcissist about a month ago, and definitely have quite a bit of work to do. But about 10 minutes in, I was crying...so this is definitely powerful work you’re sharing. I look forward to getting a beautiful night’s rest. Thank you.

    I cried the entire tie during this meditation and came out of it feel calmer. A part of little me feel reintegrated. Will definitely come back to this video. If you have any more similar inner child work for anxious attachment styles/coodependent adults, please could you or anyone add the link in the reply section. Thank you so much and much love to all you little inner children. Our higher selves will now take care and be an unconditionally loving and present parent from now on. Peace be with you

    So my inner child lead me into like a victimhood fantasy, as if something really awful had happened when I was a child, I am still not sure if I forgot things or what but I just held space because I wasn’t feeling triggered by it and I realized that my inner child was creating elaborate things to get attention because no one was really paying attention to her or connecting with her, she had no self because she had not been acknowledged and had space held for who she is. I held her and watched her and gave her a plant, she (I) love trees and nature and plants and I could feel her feeling a sense of self, knowing she loves something, she was (is) happy and she (and I) am grateful for the space and attention we cultivate together, the care in knowing what we love and what brings us joy❤️

    Girl as soon as we took that first breath I started sobbing.
    I went back to baby tori at 3/4. so so so sweet and innocent.. she reminded me of willow trees and azaleas, waterfalls and streams. I cannot stop crying even while typing this. you saying that she gets a second chance really helps me.. I feel like my entire childhood has been wasted emotionally neglected, alone, hating myself and absolutely rolling in pain over my family and their dysfunction and what it had on me. this was so healing.. I need to go back through to go through all my grade school ages.. I feel like they are all so broken..
    Thank you for posting this, this shit heals and helps the world!
