This was the bomb video ever! All videos are fully loaded with knowledge no doubt. But this one... I thank you for your work and your existence. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@seagypsy_ I'm sorry you feel that way. I hated being touched by anyone, ok I still do. Love yourself and stop taking the blame for what happened to you in the past. This is what I'm working on myself (along with all my other issues lol). I love you and pray peace will be within soon 💜☮️☯️🌹
I realize the parents who raised me were also wounded children, they did the best they could. I look in the mirror, even now and accept the person looking back at me. I am loved, valued, parents, siblings are still bound. I am free to love and also set boundaries. I am loved and accepted by my creator, I accept where I've been and where I'm headed.
That happens with me most times. When I acknowledge my inner child, when think about how I may have felt when I was little, a well of sadness comes up when I see that whatever I DID feel, (in response to the plethora of various dysfunctional familial and other relationships), was often suppressed and left unexpressed. Or, didn’t know what to feel, besides confused. And what was bottled up that eventually came out with such a backlog of charge around it, was rarely met with acceptance. I get teary even when I quietly consider (wonder) what the simplest of my needs could be in any moment. We’ve sometimes had SO MANY incidences, events, traumas, upsets, unpleasant life experiences, and have had to survive them by ‘not feeling’, by going into dissociation. It’s more ‘normal’, or rather ‘familiar’ being fearful, untrusting or terrified of having a connection to self, or ‘knowing’ how you feel/felt, because that’s how it has been for soooo long. When we DARE to defy the imprinting, patterns, belief systems, other’s opinions, and simply look for ourselves in it all, it can feel reeeeally overwhelming and scary. Because suddenly the spotlight is on your inner child. So be gentle, and prepare your inner child for action! - mostly at their pace to start, for they have so so much to share. Now I want to have a go at giving my inner child a smile and a playful wink, and say, “...get used to it! I’ll be asking you for more information so we can make better loving decisions for a healthier life...”. ALLOW yourself the space and time to be teary, emotional, angry, wailing into a towel with a sudden unstoppable flow of snot, BECAUSE YOU CAN AND IT IS YOUR NATURAL RIGHT TO FEEL AND EXPRESS (without hurting another being). I wish you more than luck - knowing this doesn’t always make it easier to start true and deep healing. Perhaps have a ‘Pringles perspective’ (‘Once you pop, you can’t stop’) but without the toxic GMO chemical additive shitstorm!! Plant the potato, nurture it, grow it...life force.
@@samthoms4898 Just after waking up, I got to read the comment reply. I felt amazing and blessed, getting such kind and wise words from a stranger! Thank you for taking time to write this in this extreme busy world and reminding me 😇. It is like a little reminder from the universe. Wishing for you more peace and healing.
I kept getting the message to talk to my inner child, when I first made contact with her, I felt this warm, loving presence. She's so, so ready to heal. What a cool kid.
How to heal the inner child 1. Become aware of the inner child and begin a dialogue. She needs to feel seen, heard, and loved. Re-parent the inner child. 2. Do first chakra work. Inner child is very connected to the root chakra. (Grounding, pounding your feet, deep tissue massage, grounding meditations, root coming out of your first chakra and grounding into Mother Earth, assess your beliefs and programs, assess your family’s beliefs, let go of the ones that need letting go. 3. Mantra work. Be loving, caring and tender to your inner child. Let her be joyful and innocent. Example: you are safe, I love you, what do you need from me. 4. Inner child guided meditations 5. Integration exercises. Set the intention to integrate.
I wish I could find someone here in Maine to help guide me through inner child and shadow work. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could locate one? Or what I would search for on the internet? Thanks so much for all your help!!
I relate. I have some relationships but very few, and I keep almost everyone at arm's length, and a strong shell around my inner self. This video is guiding me back to deep trust issues from childhood. For me I can see that it's about my ego learning very early on that relationships aren't safe, that I won't be heard or understood or respected, and also that I am different and you defective and unloveable. So much of this message from Christina is resonating loudly with me, and came at just the right time. I'm so thankful for her, and for everyone here.
yappysgirl yea I’m literally here now as well my inner child is so afraid of making a mistake or being rejected or worse abused that she decided it’ll be best to not get too close to people. It’s so bad that when I’m around new people even people I’ve known for years I just feel so ungrounded I’m all awkward and tense it’s like she literally runs away when I’m contacted with people and I’m left there like a empty shell with no soul. Thank you for you and even bringing this to my attention hopefully I can fix this fleeting she does once and for all .
Wow Christina x🤗x I am 70 years old and this is the first time I have heard the definition of the wounded child in a such a spiritual way . Thank you for your wise , articulate and caring guidance . I'm so very grateful I have found you x😘x You remind me so much of Sandra Bulloch x 😍x🦋x
Yeah, for me as well, in a factual connection, and it makes so much sense. I had this knowing and so close to really getting it, but so thankful to find this, revealing finally the intertwined dynamic!
Thank you so much for this! I'm 47 and just realized that I was raised immersed in a narcissistic/codependent family dynamic. I'm finally realizing where all my rage came from, and why I've never felt comfortable in my body. My root chakra needs a lot of attention ❤
I was literally asking myself, how do I know what my inner child has been wounded by? Then out of nowhere, after one of your examples, I immediately felt the emotion come up! The pain and sadness was uncontrollably bubbling out of my body. Thank you for your work and freely sharing for those of us that cannot afford to seek out help! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I'm not an expert but I saw another video from a different creator talking about triggers what sets you off what small thing gives you big feelings. Then ask your inner child why you feel like this. Then when this happens step back and try to not not be set off and make your inner child feel seen loved and happy. So maybe do what you need to do then do something that makes you feel happier.
I am aware of trauma to my inner child before birth & during my entire childhood. I’m going to start my journey at 66 to heal & incorporate my inner child. Thanks, Christina.
Iam proud for my inner child for facing the trauma, and keeping it inside for so long with a smile. I now as 25yrs old, say to my inner child that i love her, she is brave to face, and to become a child again. Grow as per she like. ☺
I was born in the 70s and raised in the 80s and every since I’ve been feeling my inner child I’ve become OBSESSED with the 80s music I grew up with . It’s like my inner child can’t get enough of it .🌹
I was abused as a child by my mother and I have never met my father. I have also always been very sensitive. When I was a child I told myself: "You must not be weak like your mother!" I have had emotional issues my entire life. At some point I became very sick with multiple illnesses... I was falling apart. I was always working really hard with any job I had, I have an extremely loving partner, I have loving friends that I love but I am still a mess. I was always aware that the reason was my childhood but I didn't want to go on blaming my mother so I supressed my emotions thinking I have forgiven her. And then as I was searching more ways to approach my extreme anxiety I came across this concept of an inner child. The first meditation I did I was crying indescribably, I felt so much pain all over my body. The child was wounded in ways my conscious mind could not completely understand. I am trying to understand how to love that poor thing. Thank you for this explanation, very well rounded 😊❤🙏
I hope ur inner baby is feeling safer and better 🍫🌟 Don't worry, now that's she's got ur attention, u can care for her and give her the love she deserves... Ur so strong that u survived the environment and u have got courage to try to heal. I admire u.💫⚡
1.Become aware of your inner child and have conversations with them.They need to be seen ,heard and loved by you. 2.Heal your 1st Chakra.(Grounding,Massage)Assessment of beliefs and values. 3.Mantra Work. 4.Guided meditations. 5.Integration exercises.
My inner child is wounded. I grew up in a messed up family. My father was a drug addict and my mother was an alcoholic. When I was 19, they basically gave me my sister who was ten at the time. Most of my relationships were abusive. My ex husband abused myself and my son so much we were put on disability. Ever since then my body has turned on me. I have fibromyalgia,major depression, arthritis,stomach issues...I can go on. I've been to counseling,but there was only so much that could do,and I didn't know why until now! I've just started my spiritual journey, I would love some guidance from you!
I have become aware of my traumatized inner child - more so in the 80's and did some workshops with Joh Bradshaw and crowds of people, which I suspect you know his work. In fact, he has written a book called: Homecoming: reclaiming and healing your inner child. That work talked to me deeply and I have spread the work in my own way at the time but somehow people seem to have left that behind. Now there is new work by Richard Schwartz Inner Family Systems and Gabor's Trauma Healing and compassion - all good and needed. I liked very much the idea of the root chakra... makes a lot of sense to me and many of the symptoms I've had. In fact, I feel like an outsider but these days not in a bad way. I have been studying Buddhist Dharma and the principles there help in providing a wider perspective re this reality was a whole. Thank you for speaking out so passionately and clearly about this subject! The work on inner child needs to be continuous. Thanks you and Namaste! 🙏💖
This is why I always have a block in my first chakra, and I feel anxiety. It is lways rooted in first chakra. And I had so many traumas in my childhood, but I didnt realize it untill I had a triggerd abandonment trauma
Same for me. I'm usually triggered after a breakup, which brought me to this channel a few months ago. I'm much better then I was but I still have a way to go.
I’m sending prayers for you, I’m so full of gratitude. I realised that I’m struggling a lot with the first chakra when I’m overstimulated as the empath in certain situations. Now I realised they were all deeply connected with my inner child wounded and that’s why they were coming back and forth stopping me from fulfilling my purpose on the earth. Now I was trying to dig in in to it in a more profound way because as I’m during the spiritual awakening process my inner voice tells me strongly that this is the time to heal my little baby. Omg you can’t believe , the river of tears has come up the moment I only started to imagine myself as a little girl. I had a lot of traumas, and during my childhood I realised that I’m more accepted while being smiley, so that no one could tell what I feel inside, always smiling. But so lonely. As I remember I felt I didn’t belong to any kind of society, felt always like an outsider not being able to fully emotionally commit. Now it starts to be clear. I’m terrified but excited if this journey will mean , new me, fully aware of my power, no more victimising but feeling joy and transmitting love. That’s my biggest dream. Thank you with all my heart for lightening our souls up and I hope you’ll get all love that is in the universe to support you and give you what you deserve. You’re an angel. Thank you.
I intend to bring my inner child and all of her painful wounds and experiences back into union. I intend to integrate all these parts now. I am so loved. I am so honored. It is done. :)
Dear Christina, thank you for coming into my life when I needed it. I have had a rough spiritual awakening in one week, thought I was losing my mind and found one of your videos. Now I know it is the effort of a lifetime. I am 38 and am now beginning the healing process.
Thank you so much!! I need lot’s of inner child work, my soul picked a hell of a life path!!😆 You’re pretty much my guide/Professor, It was such a relief to learn from you that I was an Empath and not just crazy!!
I hear you for sure! Life has had its challenges, child of the 60’s and wow things were so different from now. So many things were just part of life for everyone, We can only hope to learn how we are all connected soul to soul, it’s time we all recognize that fact. Much love for your journey to heal your inner child!
aaaaand I'm crying now- listening to you explaining how to spot an inner child and suddenly I'm crying and holding myself, rocking back and forth. the minute you said about how the inner child tends to show itself, feeling younger all I could think of is little space- Age Regression, Allowing yourself to go into a younger mindset commonly used in therapy and it sorta- clicked, I age regress a lot, it isn't as noticeable as it was, say two years ago, mainly bc I try to make myself stop that bc my mother is already annoyed that I run around the house constantly though I have no control over it. but you bet my family will get annoyed if I start acting like a three year or something, but listening to this makes me believe it's just my inner child trying to reach out and be noticed
Belonging has definitely a thing for me, I never felt like I belonged anywhere, even on this earth plane. No control issues, but abandonment issues, a couple of others also. Thank for this, it opened my eyes to what I didn't know about healing my inner child. Extremely grateful Christina!
Your videos blow me away, and all of this for free on TH-cam! I'm so fortunate to have found you. Yes, my inner child was quite wounded to the point of a dissociative disorder and seriously dysfunctional romantic relationships. I have spent the past year working on healing her, and I have made huge progress. I'm especially grateful for the intention/integration step at the end. That is something I have not tried, and I think it is missing piece for me. Thank you!!!
I definitely have inner child issues and this video confirmed it for me. I had all 3 signa and its also been confirmed that I am with my twin flame. It is the hardest thing I have ever experienced and I don't know how to handle it. I am trying to heal everyday and he thinks that I am looking to outside sources to find me. I am doing so good and working so hard and I wish he could join me and I'm allowing myself to feel so much sadness, disappointment, and hurt by him wanting to start a fight every day. It's exhausting and I hope I feel the guidance and healing I need soon. Thank you so much for what you do! 🙏

Thank you so much teacher for the video, it helps me alot to understand.. I come here because i need more information to heal my inner child. Because i already found out that my inner child is wound while i'm doing shadow work. Before i watched this video, I havent meditation yet. But i already talk to my inner child "dear my inner child, please knowing that you are loved, know that you are so valuable, know that you are good just the way you are. Please let go of the pain in the past. Please forgive them who hurt you unconciously. Please let go.. and forgive them." And then after that, while my eyes still open, i visualize my child-self standing in front of me. Her innocent face and eyes looking at me straight at my face, and im crying. This is an undescribable experience. The tears wont stop, it keeps flowing.
Thank you for this. I doubt that I've ever met any human being who doesn't suffer some inner child wounding; it is so easy to cause that; and if it is repetitious, it can cause intense trauma. Mine was from Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN), and it caused me to marry/couple for all the wrong reasons and to completely fall apart when my husband left me abruptly and unexpectedly after 17 seemingly-happy years of marriage. Just like you said, I couldn't heal mine until I did BOTH psychotherapy AND Reiki healing on my chakras. Also, my psychotherapist is a shaman, and Soul Retrieval and Power Retrieval ceremonies really helped a lot! I learned about that from YOU - so THANKS!!! The shamanic practices took me MUCH farther than conventional therapy. I am healed enough now that I can be single and live alone at this time of social distancing and isolation and feel at peace and happy with my own company. I was feeling the reverse and felt incredibly traumatized by inner child wounding a year ago when I first found you! I know I am not completely healed, because I am sometimes quick to feel left out and to be blind to the love and respect that others feel for me. So I have a ways to go. But I feel SO much more peaceful and grounded now. Honestly, your videos have helped me more than anyone else's to understand all of this and what I needed to do about it!
I am on my journey of healing 🙏 I realized my inner child wounds but don't know how to heal. Also got many wounds from marriage with a narcissistic person which ended in divorce after 6 months of domestic violence . This domestic violence was a repetition of what happened in my childhood. Got same emotional climate of my childhood when I was staying with this person . Now I am single and on my journey of healing . Living with toxic controlling parents again now. How to deal with my inner child and heal wounds living in this present situation 🤔 Can anybody help me please 😢
So totally blown away. You have lead me to the first path of my first chakra healing journey. So grateful I found you. My hearts racing right now. Wow!
I want to sob tears of joy and relief that I've found your TH-cam channel (I did cry a little bit during this video). I've been on my spiritual awakening journey for a couple of years now (began right before the pandemic happened), but it's been VERY rocky and devastating and confusing. I'm a parent to two young children and they're the things I care about most in this whole world. I realize that in order for me to be the parent they need and deserve, I need to heal myself -- re-parent my own self. Being able to provide my children with a proper upbringing is my motivation for healing myself. I don't know whether that's an acceptable reason, but it's working for me. The goal is that I'll evolve to the point where my motivation for healing is simply to heal myself because I care more about myself. That said, do you have any advice on how to heal traumas I've inflicted on my own children? From mistakes I've made as a parent. How do I help them through what I've done, to reprogram them to have a healthy inner child and strong 1st Chakra in the midst of my mistakes? They're ages 6 and 3.
Thank-you Christina for helping me to start my journey with my first chakra and my inner child it needs a whole lot of healing, my inner child thanks you.
I started gaining a clearer picture and perspective when I first time felt detachment from my family. Maybe it sounds like a paradox, but I could only see my connections with the family and my wounds when I moved away from it, and didn't depend so much on it anymore. And from this video, I realized I healed a lot of it already. Now I feel like I am on the island, alone, clearing my mind just a bit more before jumping to the sea and swimming off to a new adventure… I am feeling called to dig through ancestral energy for some time now. That is my next step in healing and it really makes me happy. Thank you for your insights
Thank you so much for your hard work. I became aware of my inner child a year ago and i’ve been trying to heal his wounds but didn’t have the right structures or tools to do so. Now you made it very clear to the point where after i’m done watching your video I felt some sort of relief that came from my inner child. Felt like he’s telling me, now I feel heard, seen and loved ❤
Christina, so many blessings for this work you're doing and sharing. I wanted to share my experience I recently had. I was triggered by my partner and I sat with that extremely uncomfortable emotional state in my energy and physical body. I could feel my inner child was terrified. I told her I was with her and that she is safe and asked if there was anything she wanted me to know. I couldn't believe what I energetically saw in front of me. It was me, 5 or 6 years old, standing in front of me looking up at me tears streaming down her face and looking at me with sheer terror in her eyes and I felt her saying to me "why, why do you keep doing this to us?? Why do you keep putting us in situations that aren't safe??" I knew what she meant. I've spent my life controlling e-ver-y-thing to keep me safe. Always lived alone, wouldn't allow anyone to do anything for me; a nice big fat ego trip of independence. I made a nice perfect little tiny box around me energetically. I was living in total panic and fear since childhood. I'm 47 years old now. A couple of years ago I sold my house, left my job, moved in with my partner and my inner child has been FREAKED OUT ever since. Understandably so. I literally gave up everything I put in place to feel safe and ensure I couldn't be abandoned. So I imagined picking her up and rocking her on my lap to comfort her. I was balling, understanding her pain. Very powerful moment. This stuff is real. Blessings to all doing this work. xoxo
Please stop describing me 🙄🙂 I did not know that I am so hurt and it all belongs together. I have nearly all symptoms of a hurt inner child. Body issues (can't show myself doing things), bone problems (scoliosis) and I can't eat gluten. But on the other hand I already used the mantra 'I am save', love to walk barefoot, sit on the ground,.. I already have done lot right and already began to heal my inner child, just by listening to my intuition - without even knowing this. I'm so hooked on your whole channel, thank you so so much!
I have grounded my inner child for 2 weeks to get some much-needed data from the best teacher that I have ever seen it is you Christina Lopes I thank you so much for your expertise and your professionalism
While I know that my childhood was meant to be loving and nurturing there were moments when I was told I was adopted, not pretty enough, too chubby and that made me feel like I never fit in. I felt so much pressure from my parents to be a certain way that I felt I wasn’t ever good enough. I have been working on this for a while. But I can see that there is still work to do. While I am now in the best relationship I have ever been in. I also am aware that I still have insecurities and inadequacies that I need to heal. Plus. I want to feel strong grounded and secure in all of my own beauty, essence and power!!! I began this journey by wanting to live myself more and here we are visiting this again!!! Shadow work is never done. But this time I will be clearing the ancestral and familial codes that do not serve me. Thank you for this video it’s was very insightful and easy to follow .
We literally have the same childhood experience.. I was told I was adopted and got picked on about my weight constantly and the pressure was so intense I could never make them happy
Thank you so much Christiana. I didnt know how so much wounded my inner child was till i watched your video. I suffered rejection, isolation and abandonment as a child. My stepmother hated me and barely tolerated my presence. I had to hide in my room. Now I know what to do to heal myself of self limiting behaviour, fear of abandonment, fear of uncertainty and fear of romantic commitment. I have a loving partner and I'm really ashamed about the hell I've put him through. I love who i am and my inner child is loved and accepted.
Wow, you hit the nail right on the head for me. I resonate with everything you said. I am that wounded child. I have been on a path towards being more enlightened and have gotten better is so many ways but have always felt a part of me was unreachable because I have this weight issue that no matter how many times I would lose weight I would sabotage myself because no matter how much I hated being overweight it was comforting on other levels to go back and stay that way. But now after all these years my joints have gradually become worse in my hips and knees and I feel all that you’ve said, that now my inner child needs to be reached and heard and loved so I can stop this self abuse that I do with food. Thank you, this was so powerful to me and now I know where to start, I have a new path. In am so grateful for you and your channel. ❤️
WOW! It's amazing how no matter how old we get, we are still in the process of learning. I just want to thank you for such beautiful work and I definitely want to keep learning from you. Namaste 🙏
I'm gonna be recommending my friends your AMAZING work🌟 Your throat chakra is so open you speak articulately, and beautifully 😁 your the professional my family will understand ❤ thank you Christina!
I feel like the inner child has started taking over the past year and a half. In EMDR last summer we hit a brick wall when we tried to go back to a traumatic issue for me (white bathrooms) I simply stopped responding. The therapist said my mind resisted. I also felt a spiral from there with a lot of disassociation and numbing out. I was improving a little on my own until this Covid 19. The childhood fear I had at 3 of my mother and sister dying and that feeling of not being safe are very much there. I feel fearful and out of control. The one time my child came out in EMDR she didn’t trust me to come to me. When she did come she looked around first to see who was watching. Everything you said in this video resonates with me . Thank you so much for sharing this xx❤️🙏
I been try to do inner work for for less than two years never saw your channel till today and I love what I hear and I'm putting your advice into practice as we know this type of healing work is very important and there's always something new to learn thank you for your support and information we really need this
yeah my inner child is wounded this is the first time that I understood why I'm not in control of my life and can't achieve my goals so thanks for this video .now I'm gonna do what you said to heal my inner child
I just Cannot THANK YOU enough, youll never know how much this video means to me and im sure so many out there, you are an angel for being so giving of your knowledge i am so anxious to get started on this and heal my inner child FINALLY, because of you ill be a new and improved me im sending you as much love gratitude and blessings as possible Namaste!! XO
Yup, if you don't take care of your innerchild. He will litterally take charge of your life and will make hell out of it. I've experienced this several times. Thank you maa'm for the video and suggestion to take care of loving child longing to be seen heard and loved. ❣️
I have been binge watching your videos, everything you say touches a fibre of my being. I have tremendous work on the base chakra, healing my childhood trauma and integrating my shadow. I am truly grateful for your videos and energetic vibration! 🖤✌🏾
Wow You are an Angel I knew I was wounded I prayed for guidance And today I stumbled into this video God bless you more For being such a blessing to the universe Sending you so much love from Nigeria
Thank you so much Christina❤️ You have changed my life so much. I could not do It alone❤️ All the hurt and feelings of worthlessness all gone because of you❤️ I appreciate you so much❤️ I can truly be happy again and enjoy life and express myself ❤️❤️ My inner child thanks you as well❤️ He is loved as am I❤️
I am in the process of healing my inner child, and when I ask her what she needs, I get flashbacks of my childhood where I felt blissful, often times, they were moments when I was surrounded by my friends doing an activity, moments alone where I would do arts and craft or write poetry. Needless to say I headed straight to Michaels and bought stuff to paint and make jewelry. When I create I feel so happy, and it's like I can feel her having fun and smiling. Side note: to anyone reading this, I hope your inner child doesn't make you spend 350$ (that you don't have) at Michaels....
Wow, I went through a divinely guided healing ritual yesterday. I prayed and asked The Most High for how to address these issues that wrote down concerning the 1st chakra & well here it is extended to me through you.
My inner child trauma, is not about my mom treats me because she loves me. But the comments I am hearing from relatives and other people. I am adopted so I always hear my Mom and my aunts and uncle talked about it. I would hear them say that I am not pretty, Im not cute or what. And when they would give out candies or gift, they will not give me one. Or they will give me the ugliest or smallest one. This has affected me, alongside with getting bullied, rejected and laughed when I reach elementary and hs. Now, my concept of beauty is twisted and I dont value myself enough. I am in the stage of healing and I hope this can help on my healing
I love you and I value you. You are so strong for not giving up and picking yourself up. I totally understand you when it comes to being bullied, rejected, criticised, treated badly by your family. You are not alone and you got this!
whoah! this was incredibly liberating! Finally! a pathway forward from this pain that I've been dragging around for 51 years that I couldn't understand. This session was incredibly powerful, thank you. I'm looking forward to really getting stuck into using this healing advice because I AM DONE with this bruise on my soul.
I am so grateful to have been guided to you ❤️. Thank you for your work and for sharing. I look forward to healing my inner child and first Chakra. At 55, I look forward to a more freeing second half of life. ❤️
I intend to heal my inner child and set her free into the universe to love freely, play freely and build strong relationships without fear . I am healed
You have explained so well!! Thank you for sharing all the tips for healing as well. I honestly think that the problems with inner child abandonment are the root causes of all our problems as adults. We chaise happiness while our inner child (core part of us) is hurt.. Bless you and your work.💗
Hey Christina. Thank you for this video. Yes, my inner child has wounds. When a partner rejects me, I go into depression for a long time. Even knowing I will pass over it, I keep falling emotionaly and it affects my life in different aspects. I tend to have the necessity of approval from others. This cames from my relationship with my father when I was young. First step is done: being counscious about it. Now, I want to heal and overcome this so it does not repeats over and over again. 🙌
Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly what I’m going thru right this moment and I’m so grateful for this video and I wish you well on your progress
This was very interesting and informative. I never thought to work on my 1st Chakra, but it is clear I need to. Did a regression once where I was to visit my 6-7 year old self, and when I did, I felt such overwhelming loneliness. I felt so sad for my younger self to the point I was crying. While my upbringing was relatively decent on paper, (middle class in suburban America, had a roof, food, and clothes, sometimes went on vacations, not sexually or physically abused), my parents were not very supportive, kind, or warm people- their mantra seemed to be "children were to be seen and not heard". They were quite strict and hyper critical of us kids but never really offered solutions or guidance. I have very, very few memories of my childhood and zero of anyone ever really playing with or reading to me, etc. We were raised to be independent, which in a way has helped me as an adult, but at the same time, my family is not really a family. We hardly talk to each other, rarely see or visit each other, and it's always so awkward when we do. It's like I'm related to these people, but none of us have anything in common with each other. Even our extended family is not close and we are basically ignored by them too. It's just really bizarre. So, yeah. Root Chakra is getting some much needed love. Great video, I'm now a subscriber ❤
Definitely having issues with inner child and shadow and so glad I stumbled on this today. I am going to do the exercises from the shadow work video, can't wait
When covid started increasing again, I knew I needed and wanted to stop being so afraid and I got tired of trying to control my environment. I placed a red bracelet on each of my family members and myself and chose to release that fear and trust. Well a few minutes after that we got a call from landlord he wants us to surrender house in 2 months... I have been feeling all sorts of feelings that came back to inner child. After seeing your video I now understand what I intended that day. I want to heal her. I think she wants to heal and be free... Thank you from both of us.
Perfect timing! During my recent psychotherapy session this week, we discussed about the inner child. I was wondering about the healing process, and, BAM, this video came up! Thanks so much!
I was bought up in a safe and secured household.. But I was always made to feel inadequate.. To an extent where I started doubting myself. I was laughed at, told off, reprimanded. Even if it was somebody else's fault, I would be lectured and made to feel I was the wrong one. I was a normal child with lot of energy, but as time passed, much into adolescence and adult life and even now, I have grown timid and shy. When alone and with close ones I am my true self.. with others I retreat into my shell. As I said this I had tears in my eyes..
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I wish I had found YOU when I began inner child healing last year. It would have saved me so much time and dare I say...money (programs, not therapy). I need to rewatch your empath segment on how to know if I'm one, but aren't empaths set apart where they are ok with not belonging? Can someone point me in the right direction on this? I'm a non-trusting controller of myself and others due to childhood trauma, but I be damned if I'm going to leave this earth the same way. Thanks again!!!!
I believe I definitely had a wounded inner child and I still need to do work on this to heal it completely. I am so grateful for your assistance in all matters of my healing and hope you realise how wonderful and needed you are on this planet. I just wish more people knew these issues existed and how to go about healing them. ❤
Omg the part about romantic relationships and how your inner child would come out and shut down and pout gave me such a ding ding moment. So me! Wow this video is so eye opening for me. Thank you.
Most of the issues bubbling up for me this year, I now realize, have to do with the first chakra. I like the thought that I may be able to address all of them at once.
Well today I was reminded of the inner child work.. but as I leassoned to the video half the work is acknowledgement and understanding of the wounded inner child and how to identify it . Well then yes most definitely I've done the work. Soothing my inner child, validating my inner child, and most importantly for me was /is letting myself know I got this 👍🏼your safe now ...were bigger, smarter, stronger and we do exist! Catching my child like behavior when triggered, letting things go that are out of my control. And thanks for answering the question i did have witch was how does one know the work is done if the inner work is never finished? But you addressed it by saying check if your Root Chakra off balance. Thanks for clarifying a few things. Much luv and respect ❤💯
You can consider writing a mantra and stating it to yourself. Something like: "I now choose to live in my full expression and truth. I am free. I am free. I am free. And so it is." You deserve to be free and authentic, it is safe. Much love ❤️
@@grifeane it’s okay to not be okay , how are you feeling? (it’s okay to not be able to explain how you’re feeling or if you’re feeling multiple emotions that’s okay too!💕) and how can i help you in a way that’s most comfortable for you?:) i understand what you’re going through and i promise you it’s going to get better. i recommend starting shadow work and starting small with this , start with shadow work prompts that you know won’t bring up too much pain for you at first and then work into bigger issues when you feel you are ready, do things for yourself that make you feel happy or that you enjoy(of course things that are healthy!!) and most importantly , learn to be kind to yourself and to love yourself. all of these things are definitely easier said than done but it is most definitely possible and you are completely capable in doing so. actually there’s a lot more that i recommend , (my brain feels like it’s on the floor right now so i think the way i’m wording my words?? could be confusing LAMKDKF) starting with: shadow work , journaling , meditation specifically for what you are going through or need to work on:) , learning to love yourself (may be difficult at first which is completely okay if it is! but if you aren’t sure on how to do this , research into it), also when you are researching i know it can be easy to take things as factual especially if you are just beginning your journey or don’t know what to do , but trust your intuition with what information feels right for you. i hope this helps
I can REALLY feel u! I realized that all my life I suppressed my emotions because of my family issues. I realized that this made me fake, cause I never expressed the real me and what bothered me
Your teaching is prescious. I never could heal my inner child fundamentally coz no one ever told me, not even anyone in spiritual community that Inner Child is all about root chakra. I somehow saw them as seprate. Just watching this video shifted a lot of things inside me.
I have a wounded child inside me. I am also trying to heal her for years. I didn't have any info about doing it systematically before watching this video. I used to talk to my childhood photograph. It helped me alot. But yr technics are awesome. Thank you so much ❤️
it amazes me how your advice is free. i found your videos only a few days ago and i already feel like i’m in a better place mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. it’s free therapy that makes far better sense to me then the therapy i’ve paid for. i’m just so grateful to have stumbled across your channel! your videos are so healing and you are such a beautiful person! i keep sending your videos to help heal my friends and family as well so thank you!!! ☺️❤️
I'm crying. I had 3 consecutive dreams about a child that I was taking care of. I searched what it meant and I came across "inner child". Now that I'm watching this, we're definitely gonna heal my love. Wait for me, I will nurture you till death ❤️ also I'm always thankful of you Christina
Carlie Meign Salundaguit Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of physical and spiritual healing and self-improvement. If you Google it there is a lot of information on the Internet about Reiki.. I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and many of my clients work through inner child wounds with the assistance of Reiki’s pure Love energy..🙏🏼 Blessings
This makes so much sense. I come across so many clients who have inner child issues and have so much difficulty grounding and connecting with their body as well. I have done a lot of inner child work in my life and now I understand why my first chakra is so stable. Grateful 🙏
Really great segment. I didn't know I was dissociated from my body until I tried doing hypnotherapy. I wasn't in my body, just observing myself. This was at age 49! I couldn't figure out how to heal this until I tried psychedelic therapy at age 55. I learned I had dissociated twice. Once as an infant and once as a child. I reclaimed these parts in my ceremonies and am still integrating by learning to be present and grounded in my body.
I had a friend whose mom would hit him, unless sick where she would become calm and loving, as growing up he found himself in the hospital a lot. We talked about it, he realized his body was creating it as a survival mechanism and only way to get love

@@iamAnhchau Anyone can change.
@@iamAnhchau I need help with a stubborn,hard-headed child set in her ways for Decaded
@@seagypsy_ I'm sorry you feel that way. I hated being touched by anyone, ok I still do. Love yourself and stop taking the blame for what happened to you in the past. This is what I'm working on myself (along with all my other issues lol). I love you and pray peace will be within soon 💜☮️☯️🌹
I realize the parents who raised me were also wounded children, they did the best they could.
I look in the mirror, even now and accept the person looking back at me. I am loved, valued, parents, siblings are still bound. I am free to love and also set boundaries.
I am loved and accepted by my creator, I accept where I've been and where I'm headed.
I'm working on this sentiment exactly!! Good healing for you!
Wow you are bang on with how I feel about my parents.
That's such a beautiful place to be in. 📿❤️
I wish I could feel that too

I'm proud of my inner child for enduring tough times. I'm proud of her to trying to hold on to her freedom.
YES!!!!!
She is also proud of you!
Love for her keep it up
you`re not alone, darling :)
WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY, CHRISTINA WILL APPEAR ,
So true, really just found her. Learning so much.
YES!
You're so right!! I've been needing to deal w my "inner child" not knowing how to proceed. Ms. Lopes is awesome and so on time!!🌞
YES!
Veronica Bosman same I found her at really good timing. The Universe truly does work in mysterious ways
The moment I started affirmation " You are okay", to my inner child, All of a sudden, I got teary and emotional.
That happens with me most times. When I acknowledge my inner child, when think about how I may have felt when I was little, a well of sadness comes up when I see that whatever I DID feel, (in response to the plethora of various dysfunctional familial and other relationships), was often suppressed and left unexpressed. Or, didn’t know what to feel, besides confused.
And what was bottled up that eventually came out with such a backlog of charge around it, was rarely met with acceptance.
I get teary even when I quietly consider (wonder) what the simplest of my needs could be in any moment.
We’ve sometimes had SO MANY incidences, events, traumas, upsets, unpleasant life experiences, and have had to survive them by ‘not feeling’, by going into dissociation.
It’s more ‘normal’, or rather ‘familiar’ being fearful, untrusting or terrified of having a connection to self, or ‘knowing’ how you feel/felt, because that’s how it has been for soooo long.
When we DARE to defy the imprinting, patterns, belief systems, other’s opinions, and simply look for ourselves in it all, it can feel reeeeally overwhelming and scary. Because suddenly the spotlight is on your inner child. So be gentle, and prepare your inner child for action! - mostly at their pace to start, for they have so so much to share.
Now I want to have a go at giving my inner child a smile and a playful wink, and say, “...get used to it! I’ll be asking you for more information so we can make better loving decisions for a healthier life...”.
ALLOW yourself the space and time to be teary, emotional, angry, wailing into a towel with a sudden unstoppable flow of snot, BECAUSE YOU CAN AND IT IS YOUR NATURAL RIGHT TO FEEL AND EXPRESS (without hurting another being).
I wish you more than luck - knowing this doesn’t always make it easier to start true and deep healing. Perhaps have a ‘Pringles perspective’ (‘Once you pop, you can’t stop’) but without the toxic GMO chemical additive shitstorm!!
Plant the potato, nurture it, grow it...life force.
@@samthoms4898 Just after waking up, I got to read the comment reply. I felt amazing and blessed, getting such kind and wise words from a stranger!
Thank you for taking time to write this in this extreme busy world and reminding me 😇.
It is like a little reminder from the universe.
Wishing for you more peace and healing.
me too! Exactly same
I kept getting the message to talk to my inner child, when I first made contact with her, I felt this warm, loving presence. She's so, so ready to heal. What a cool kid.
Blessings 🙏

How did u meet her??
This started for me a few days a go x
How did you do it? Victoria h
How to heal the inner child
1. Become aware of the inner child and begin a dialogue. She needs to feel seen, heard, and loved. Re-parent the inner child.
2. Do first chakra work. Inner child is very connected to the root chakra. (Grounding, pounding your feet, deep tissue massage, grounding meditations, root coming out of your first chakra and grounding into Mother Earth, assess your beliefs and programs, assess your family’s beliefs, let go of the ones that need letting go.
3. Mantra work. Be loving, caring and tender to your inner child. Let her be joyful and innocent. Example: you are safe, I love you, what do you need from me.
4. Inner child guided meditations
5. Integration exercises. Set the intention to integrate.
Thank you for taking notes and typing them here!
What would your inner child need from you? Good question! What would that sound like?
@@mslizzardroscoe9051 I think love would be the biggest thing.
I wish I could find someone here in Maine to help guide me through inner child and shadow work. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could locate one? Or what I would search for on the internet? Thanks so much for all your help!!
Thank you! :-)
I am grateful to my inner child for staying strong. I am grateful to you for guiding her back ❤️
This comment is beautiful! I resonate with this 💕🙏🏻
❤
my inner child is wounded.
Amazing comment! I second this affirmation 💖🙏🏽
Wow, cute comment✨ blessing to all the inner children that stayed strong while their world was instable. Let's hug them, listen to them and heal them
I wish I had watched this 50 years ago when I was 15.
@Ilinca Sîrbu 🤎💜🤎
I'm with you there Laurie ... Would of been helpful to learn more about body health etc at school ☺️
there is nothing called late or early,,,when you have started being aware is the begin of your life...let the past be gone,,nd live in the present
@Ilinca Sîrbu 17❤️
Univers is kind and loving💖 We get into healing when we ready 👌 I start when I was late 30😋
It's truly amazing how we all want to heal the inner child part of us and are supportive of each other without knowing each other. Thank you 💜

Christina : How are your relationships ?
Me: What relationships ?
Same 🤷🏻♀️
Same.
I relate. I have some relationships but very few, and I keep almost everyone at arm's length, and a strong shell around my inner self. This video is guiding me back to deep trust issues from childhood. For me I can see that it's about my ego learning very early on that relationships aren't safe, that I won't be heard or understood or respected, and also that I am different and you defective and unloveable. So much of this message from Christina is resonating loudly with me, and came at just the right time. I'm so thankful for her, and for everyone here.
yappysgirl yea I’m literally here now as well my inner child is so afraid of making a mistake or being rejected or worse abused that she decided it’ll be best to not get too close to people. It’s so bad that when I’m around new people even people I’ve known for years I just feel so ungrounded I’m all awkward and tense it’s like she literally runs away when I’m contacted with people and I’m left there like a empty shell with no soul. Thank you for you and even bringing this to my attention hopefully I can fix this fleeting she does once and for all .
Exactly!! Absolutely NO relationships do I feel safe/grounded in. Spending MOST if my time in my room... alone. 😢
Wow Christina x🤗x I am 70 years old and this is the first time I have heard the definition of the wounded child in a such a spiritual way . Thank you for your wise , articulate and caring guidance . I'm so very grateful I have found you x😘x You remind me so much of Sandra Bulloch x 😍x🦋x
Yeah, for me as well, in a factual connection, and it makes so much sense. I had this knowing and so close to really getting it, but so thankful to find this, revealing finally the intertwined dynamic!
Thank you so much for this! I'm 47 and just realized that I was raised immersed in a narcissistic/codependent family dynamic. I'm finally realizing where all my rage came from, and why I've never felt comfortable in my body. My root chakra needs a lot of attention ❤
Same here
My inner child is wounded. I’m 32 and I’ve recently started realizing how this has effected my experiences in adulthood. It’s time to heal.
NEVER KNEW how 1,000% broken i am till this. thank you for the glimpse into a new life
I was literally asking myself, how do I know what my inner child has been wounded by? Then out of nowhere, after one of your examples, I immediately felt the emotion come up! The pain and sadness was uncontrollably bubbling out of my body. Thank you for your work and freely sharing for those of us that cannot afford to seek out help! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I'm not an expert but I saw another video from a different creator talking about triggers what sets you off what small thing gives you big feelings. Then ask your inner child why you feel like this. Then when this happens step back and try to not not be set off and make your inner child feel seen loved and happy. So maybe do what you need to do then do something that makes you feel happier.
I am aware of trauma to my inner child before birth & during my entire childhood. I’m going to start my journey at 66 to heal & incorporate my inner child. Thanks, Christina.
When I look at baby pictures I feel sad for her and just want to hold her and love her and tell her how special she is.
Iam proud for my inner child for facing the trauma, and keeping it inside for so long with a smile. I now as 25yrs old, say to my inner child that i love her, she is brave to face, and to become a child again. Grow as per she like. ☺
Well if this video didn’t shake up my whole damn soul in the most humbling way. This blessed me in such a deep way. Tears tears 🙏🏾
Same girl...same😞
Her videos always make me cry, you’re not alone....
Sending you Love 💕

Me and my inner child are healing now she been threw so .much I am grateful I getting the opportunity to heal my inner child
I was born in the 70s and raised in the 80s and every since I’ve been feeling my inner child I’ve become OBSESSED with the 80s music I grew up with . It’s like my inner child can’t get enough of it .🌹
Men are here too. Cant thank you enough🙏❤️ Christina 😇
I was abused as a child by my mother and I have never met my father. I have also always been very sensitive. When I was a child I told myself: "You must not be weak like your mother!" I have had emotional issues my entire life. At some point I became very sick with multiple illnesses... I was falling apart. I was always working really hard with any job I had, I have an extremely loving partner, I have loving friends that I love but I am still a mess. I was always aware that the reason was my childhood but I didn't want to go on blaming my mother so I supressed my emotions thinking I have forgiven her. And then as I was searching more ways to approach my extreme anxiety I came across this concept of an inner child. The first meditation I did I was crying indescribably, I felt so much pain all over my body. The child was wounded in ways my conscious mind could not completely understand. I am trying to understand how to love that poor thing. Thank you for this explanation, very well rounded 😊❤🙏
sending you love xx
💚
Much love to you, your story struck a nerve for me. Much to feel about. 💕
I have feeling you don't forgive her for what your mother has done to you.
I hope ur inner baby is feeling safer and better 🍫🌟
Don't worry, now that's she's got ur attention, u can care for her and give her the love she deserves...
Ur so strong that u survived the environment and u have got courage to try to heal. I admire u.💫⚡
1.Become aware of your inner child and have conversations with them.They need to be seen ,heard and loved by you.
2.Heal your 1st Chakra.(Grounding,Massage)Assessment of beliefs and values.
3.Mantra Work.
4.Guided meditations.
5.Integration exercises.
My inner child is wounded. I grew up in a messed up family. My father was a drug addict and my mother was an alcoholic. When I was 19, they basically gave me my sister who was ten at the time. Most of my relationships were abusive. My ex husband abused myself and my son so much we were put on disability. Ever since then my body has turned on me. I have fibromyalgia,major depression, arthritis,stomach issues...I can go on. I've been to counseling,but there was only so much that could do,and I didn't know why until now! I've just started my spiritual journey, I would love some guidance from you!
🤍
I fully relate Kimberly! I started raising my siblings when I was 11. Someone had to.
I hope you are doing well Kimberly, just know that you are truly powerful and deserving of peace and love. Sending you love ❤️
🙏🏽🙏🏽🗣
I have become aware of my traumatized inner child - more so in the 80's and did some workshops with Joh Bradshaw and crowds of people, which I suspect you know his work. In fact, he has written a book called: Homecoming: reclaiming and healing your inner child. That work talked to me deeply and I have spread the work in my own way at the time but somehow people seem to have left that behind. Now there is new work by Richard Schwartz Inner Family Systems and Gabor's Trauma Healing and compassion - all good and needed. I liked very much the idea of the root chakra... makes a lot of sense to me and many of the symptoms I've had. In fact, I feel like an outsider but these days not in a bad way. I have been studying Buddhist Dharma and the principles there help in providing a wider perspective re this reality was a whole. Thank you for speaking out so passionately and clearly about this subject! The work on inner child needs to be continuous. Thanks you and Namaste! 🙏💖
This is why I always have a block in my first chakra, and I feel anxiety. It is lways rooted in first chakra. And I had so many traumas in my childhood, but I didnt realize it untill I had a triggerd abandonment trauma
❤️🤗
I feel exactly the same🌸
Same here.
Same for me. I'm usually triggered after a breakup, which brought me to this channel a few months ago. I'm much better then I was but I still have a way to go.
Same.
I’m sending prayers for you, I’m so full of gratitude. I realised that I’m struggling a lot with the first chakra when I’m overstimulated as the empath in certain situations. Now I realised they were all deeply connected with my inner child wounded and that’s why they were coming back and forth stopping me from fulfilling my purpose on the earth. Now I was trying to dig in in to it in a more profound way because as I’m during the spiritual awakening process my inner voice tells me strongly that this is the time to heal my little baby. Omg you can’t believe , the river of tears has come up the moment I only started to imagine myself as a little girl. I had a lot of traumas, and during my childhood I realised that I’m more accepted while being smiley, so that no one could tell what I feel inside, always smiling. But so lonely. As I remember I felt I didn’t belong to any kind of society, felt always like an outsider not being able to fully emotionally commit. Now it starts to be clear. I’m terrified but excited if this journey will mean , new me, fully aware of my power, no more victimising but feeling joy and transmitting love. That’s my biggest dream. Thank you with all my heart for lightening our souls up and I hope you’ll get all love that is in the universe to support you and give you what you deserve. You’re an angel. Thank you.
I intend to bring my inner child and all of her painful wounds and experiences back into union. I intend to integrate all these parts now. I am so loved. I am so honored. It is done. :)
Dear Christina, thank you for coming into my life when I needed it. I have had a rough spiritual awakening in one week, thought I was losing my mind and found one of your videos. Now I know it is the effort of a lifetime. I am 38 and am now beginning the healing process.
Thank you so much!! I need lot’s of inner child work, my soul picked a hell of a life path!!😆 You’re pretty much my guide/Professor, It was such a relief to learn from you that I was an Empath and not just crazy!!
Life as as empathy is tough. I am in that club as well.
I hear you for sure! Life has had its challenges, child of the 60’s and wow things were so different from now. So many things were just part of life for everyone, We can only hope to learn how we are all connected soul to soul, it’s time we all recognize that fact. Much love for your journey to heal your inner child!
Same here, friend!
aaaaand I'm crying now- listening to you explaining how to spot an inner child and suddenly I'm crying and holding myself, rocking back and forth. the minute you said about how the inner child tends to show itself, feeling younger all I could think of is little space- Age Regression, Allowing yourself to go into a younger mindset commonly used in therapy and it sorta- clicked, I age regress a lot, it isn't as noticeable as it was, say two years ago, mainly bc I try to make myself stop that bc my mother is already annoyed that I run around the house constantly though I have no control over it. but you bet my family will get annoyed if I start acting like a three year or something, but listening to this makes me believe it's just my inner child trying to reach out and be noticed
Couldn't help but cry throughout this whole video. Thank you for making this Christina. You're helping a lot of souls heal. x
Belonging has definitely a thing for me, I never felt like I belonged anywhere, even on this earth plane. No control issues, but abandonment issues, a couple of others also. Thank for this, it opened my eyes to what I didn't know about healing my inner child. Extremely grateful Christina!
Same bro, how do you feel now? Have a good day/night
Your videos blow me away, and all of this for free on TH-cam! I'm so fortunate to have found you. Yes, my inner child was quite wounded to the point of a dissociative disorder and seriously dysfunctional romantic relationships. I have spent the past year working on healing her, and I have made huge progress. I'm especially grateful for the intention/integration step at the end. That is something I have not tried, and I think it is missing piece for me. Thank you!!!
I definitely have inner child issues and this video confirmed it for me. I had all 3 signa and its also been confirmed that I am with my twin flame. It is the hardest thing I have ever experienced and I don't know how to handle it. I am trying to heal everyday and he thinks that I am looking to outside sources to find me. I am doing so good and working so hard and I wish he could join me and I'm allowing myself to feel so much sadness, disappointment, and hurt by him wanting to start a fight every day. It's exhausting and I hope I feel the guidance and healing I need soon. Thank you so much for what you do! 🙏

Thankyou❤
Thank you so much teacher for the video, it helps me alot to understand..
I come here because i need more information to heal my inner child. Because i already found out that my inner child is wound while i'm doing shadow work.
Before i watched this video, I havent meditation yet. But i already talk to my inner child "dear my inner child, please knowing that you are loved, know that you are so valuable, know that you are good just the way you are. Please let go of the pain in the past. Please forgive them who hurt you unconciously. Please let go.. and forgive them."
And then after that, while my eyes still open, i visualize my child-self standing in front of me. Her innocent face and eyes looking at me straight at my face, and im crying.
This is an undescribable experience. The tears wont stop, it keeps flowing.
I've a wounded inner child and I intend to healing her ❤️
POWERFUL! WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY THE TEACHER WILL APPEAR! I NEEDED TO SEE THIS!
Thank you for this. I doubt that I've ever met any human being who doesn't suffer some inner child wounding; it is so easy to cause that; and if it is repetitious, it can cause intense trauma. Mine was from Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN), and it caused me to marry/couple for all the wrong reasons and to completely fall apart when my husband left me abruptly and unexpectedly after 17 seemingly-happy years of marriage. Just like you said, I couldn't heal mine until I did BOTH psychotherapy AND Reiki healing on my chakras. Also, my psychotherapist is a shaman, and Soul Retrieval and Power Retrieval ceremonies really helped a lot! I learned about that from YOU - so THANKS!!! The shamanic practices took me MUCH farther than conventional therapy. I am healed enough now that I can be single and live alone at this time of social distancing and isolation and feel at peace and happy with my own company. I was feeling the reverse and felt incredibly traumatized by inner child wounding a year ago when I first found you! I know I am not completely healed, because I am sometimes quick to feel left out and to be blind to the love and respect that others feel for me. So I have a ways to go. But I feel SO much more peaceful and grounded now. Honestly, your videos have helped me more than anyone else's to understand all of this and what I needed to do about it!
can u share what psycho therapy did? N if it helped you more than reiki?
Well said. I'm so grateful that you've shared your experience. It really helps to hear how you've begun to heal. All the best to you 💕
I am on my journey of healing 🙏 I realized my inner child wounds but don't know how to heal. Also got many wounds from marriage with a narcissistic person which ended in divorce after 6 months of domestic violence . This domestic violence was a repetition of what happened in my childhood. Got same emotional climate of my childhood when I was staying with this person . Now I am single and on my journey of healing . Living with toxic controlling parents again now. How to deal with my inner child and heal wounds living in this present situation 🤔 Can anybody help me please 😢
Anu how are you now?
So totally blown away. You have lead me to the first path of my first chakra healing journey. So grateful I found you. My hearts racing right now. Wow!
I want to sob tears of joy and relief that I've found your TH-cam channel (I did cry a little bit during this video). I've been on my spiritual awakening journey for a couple of years now (began right before the pandemic happened), but it's been VERY rocky and devastating and confusing. I'm a parent to two young children and they're the things I care about most in this whole world. I realize that in order for me to be the parent they need and deserve, I need to heal myself -- re-parent my own self. Being able to provide my children with a proper upbringing is my motivation for healing myself. I don't know whether that's an acceptable reason, but it's working for me. The goal is that I'll evolve to the point where my motivation for healing is simply to heal myself because I care more about myself.
That said, do you have any advice on how to heal traumas I've inflicted on my own children? From mistakes I've made as a parent. How do I help them through what I've done, to reprogram them to have a healthy inner child and strong 1st Chakra in the midst of my mistakes? They're ages 6 and 3.
I like what you are doing
Thank-you Christina for helping me to start my journey with my first chakra and my inner child it needs a whole lot of healing, my inner child thanks you.
I started gaining a clearer picture and perspective when I first time felt detachment from my family. Maybe it sounds like a paradox, but I could only see my connections with the family and my wounds when I moved away from it, and didn't depend so much on it anymore. And from this video, I realized I healed a lot of it already. Now I feel like I am on the island, alone, clearing my mind just a bit more before jumping to the sea and swimming off to a new adventure… I am feeling called to dig through ancestral energy for some time now. That is my next step in healing and it really makes me happy. Thank you for your insights
Same!!!!!
Thank you so much for your hard work. I became aware of my inner child a year ago and i’ve been trying to heal his wounds but didn’t have the right structures or tools to do so. Now you made it very clear to the point where after i’m done watching your video I felt some sort of relief that came from my inner child. Felt like he’s telling me, now I feel heard, seen and loved ❤
Christina, so many blessings for this work you're doing and sharing. I wanted to share my experience I recently had. I was triggered by my partner and I sat with that extremely uncomfortable emotional state in my energy and physical body. I could feel my inner child was terrified. I told her I was with her and that she is safe and asked if there was anything she wanted me to know. I couldn't believe what I energetically saw in front of me. It was me, 5 or 6 years old, standing in front of me looking up at me tears streaming down her face and looking at me with sheer terror in her eyes and I felt her saying to me "why, why do you keep doing this to us?? Why do you keep putting us in situations that aren't safe??" I knew what she meant. I've spent my life controlling e-ver-y-thing to keep me safe. Always lived alone, wouldn't allow anyone to do anything for me; a nice big fat ego trip of independence. I made a nice perfect little tiny box around me energetically. I was living in total panic and fear since childhood. I'm 47 years old now. A couple of years ago I sold my house, left my job, moved in with my partner and my inner child has been FREAKED OUT ever since. Understandably so. I literally gave up everything I put in place to feel safe and ensure I couldn't be abandoned. So I imagined picking her up and rocking her on my lap to comfort her. I was balling, understanding her pain. Very powerful moment. This stuff is real. Blessings to all doing this work. xoxo
Please stop describing me 🙄🙂 I did not know that I am so hurt and it all belongs together. I have nearly all symptoms of a hurt inner child. Body issues (can't show myself doing things), bone problems (scoliosis) and I can't eat gluten.
But on the other hand I already used the mantra 'I am save', love to walk barefoot, sit on the ground,..
I already have done lot right and already began to heal my inner child, just by listening to my intuition - without even knowing this. I'm so hooked on your whole channel, thank you so so much!
I have grounded my inner child for 2 weeks to get some much-needed data from the best teacher that I have ever seen it is you Christina Lopes I thank you so much for your expertise and your professionalism
New follower. Feels good to find authentic TH-cam channels. People who walk the talk . Love to you
While I know that my childhood was meant to be loving and nurturing there were moments when I was told I was adopted, not pretty enough, too chubby and that made me feel like I never fit in. I felt so much pressure from my parents to be a certain way that I felt I wasn’t ever good enough. I have been working on this for a while. But I can see that there is still work to do. While I am now in the best relationship I have ever been in. I also am aware that I still have insecurities and inadequacies that I need to heal. Plus. I want to feel strong grounded and secure in all of my own beauty, essence and power!!! I began this journey by wanting to live myself more and here we are visiting this again!!! Shadow work is never done. But this time I will be clearing the ancestral and familial codes that do not serve me. Thank you for this video it’s was very insightful and easy to follow .
We literally have the same childhood experience.. I was told I was adopted and got picked on about my weight constantly and the pressure was so intense I could never make them happy
Thank you so much Christiana. I didnt know how so much wounded my inner child was till i watched your video. I suffered rejection, isolation and abandonment as a child. My stepmother hated me and barely tolerated my presence. I had to hide in my room. Now I know what to do to heal myself of self limiting behaviour, fear of abandonment, fear of uncertainty and fear of romantic commitment. I have a loving partner and I'm really ashamed about the hell I've put him through. I love who i am and my inner child is loved and accepted.
Wow, you hit the nail right on the head for me. I resonate with everything you said. I am that wounded child. I have been on a path towards being more enlightened and have gotten better is so many ways but have always felt a part of me was unreachable because I have this weight issue that no matter how many times I would lose weight I would sabotage myself because no matter how much I hated being overweight it was comforting on other levels to go back and stay that way. But now after all these years my joints have gradually become worse in my hips and knees and I feel all that you’ve said, that now my inner child needs to be reached and heard and loved so I can stop this self abuse that I do with food. Thank you, this was so powerful to me and now I know where to start, I have a new path. In am so grateful for you and your channel. ❤️
WOW! It's amazing how no matter how old we get, we are still in the process of learning. I just want to thank you for such beautiful work and I definitely want to keep learning from you. Namaste 🙏
I'm gonna be recommending my friends your AMAZING work🌟
Your throat chakra is so open you speak articulately, and beautifully 😁 your the professional my family will understand ❤ thank you Christina!
Wow, I didn't know I had an inner child problem. But I have all the signs. I will start working on it. Thank you Cristina.
I feel like the inner child has started taking over the past year and a half. In EMDR last summer we hit a brick wall when we tried to go back to a traumatic issue for me (white bathrooms) I simply stopped responding. The therapist said my mind resisted. I also felt a spiral from there with a lot of disassociation and numbing out. I was improving a little on my own until this Covid 19. The childhood fear I had at 3 of my mother and sister dying and that feeling of not being safe are very much there. I feel fearful and out of control. The one time my child came out in EMDR she didn’t trust me to come to me. When she did come she looked around first to see who was watching. Everything you said in this video resonates with me . Thank you so much for sharing this xx❤️🙏
I want to know more about Emdr if youre ok with that
I been try to do inner work for for less than two years never saw your channel till today and I love what I hear and I'm putting your advice into practice as we know this type of healing work is very important and there's always something new to learn thank you for your support and information we really need this
I’m so glad you exist and make these videos! ☺️🙏🏼❤️
yeah my inner child is wounded this is the first time that I understood why I'm not in control of my life and can't achieve my goals so thanks for this video .now I'm gonna do what you said to heal my inner child
I just Cannot THANK YOU enough, youll never know how much this video means to me and im sure so many out there, you are an angel for being so giving of your knowledge i am so anxious to get started on this and heal my inner child FINALLY, because of you ill be a new and improved me im sending you as much love gratitude and blessings as possible Namaste!! XO
Yup, if you don't take care of your innerchild. He will litterally take charge of your life and will make hell out of it. I've experienced this several times.
Thank you maa'm for the video and suggestion to take care of loving child longing to be seen heard and loved. ❣️
I have been binge watching your videos, everything you say touches a fibre of my being. I have tremendous work on the base chakra, healing my childhood trauma and integrating my shadow. I am truly grateful for your videos and energetic vibration! 🖤✌🏾
Wow
You are an Angel
I knew I was wounded
I prayed for guidance
And today I stumbled into this video
God bless you more
For being such a blessing to the universe
Sending you so much love from Nigeria
Thank you so much Christina❤️ You have changed my life so much. I could not do It alone❤️ All the hurt and feelings of worthlessness all gone because of you❤️ I appreciate you so much❤️ I can truly be happy again and enjoy life and express myself ❤️❤️ My inner child thanks you as well❤️ He is loved as am I❤️
I am in the process of healing my inner child, and when I ask her what she needs, I get flashbacks of my childhood where I felt blissful, often times, they were moments when I was surrounded by my friends doing an activity, moments alone where I would do arts and craft or write poetry. Needless to say I headed straight to Michaels and bought stuff to paint and make jewelry. When I create I feel so happy, and it's like I can feel her having fun and smiling. Side note: to anyone reading this, I hope your inner child doesn't make you spend 350$ (that you don't have) at Michaels....
Wow, I went through a divinely guided healing ritual yesterday. I prayed and asked The Most High for how to address these issues that wrote down concerning the 1st chakra & well here it is extended to me through you.
It's good to hear from another man. Could you explain to me what the ritual was and how I'd be able to access it myself. It would be much appreciated.
God Bless you. I really need you in my life at the present time and probably forever.
My inner child trauma, is not about my mom treats me because she loves me. But the comments I am hearing from relatives and other people. I am adopted so I always hear my Mom and my aunts and uncle talked about it. I would hear them say that I am not pretty, Im not cute or what. And when they would give out candies or gift, they will not give me one. Or they will give me the ugliest or smallest one. This has affected me, alongside with getting bullied, rejected and laughed when I reach elementary and hs. Now, my concept of beauty is twisted and I dont value myself enough. I am in the stage of healing and I hope this can help on my healing
I love you and I value you. You are so strong for not giving up and picking yourself up. I totally understand you when it comes to being bullied, rejected, criticised, treated badly by your family. You are not alone and you got this!
whoah! this was incredibly liberating! Finally! a pathway forward from this pain that I've been dragging around for 51 years that I couldn't understand. This session was incredibly powerful, thank you. I'm looking forward to really getting stuck into using this healing advice because I AM DONE with this bruise on my soul.
I am so grateful to have been guided to you ❤️. Thank you for your work and for sharing. I look forward to healing my inner child and first Chakra. At 55, I look forward to a more freeing second half of life. ❤️
Yes
I intend to heal my inner child and set her free into the universe to love freely, play freely and build strong relationships without fear . I am healed
You have explained so well!! Thank you for sharing all the tips for healing as well. I honestly think that the problems with inner child abandonment are the root causes of all our problems as adults. We chaise happiness while our inner child (core part of us) is hurt.. Bless you and your work.💗
So wonderful
We all need your wisdom
Thank you
So grateful
May you be blessed with health, healing and abundant joy.
Hey Christina. Thank you for this video.
Yes, my inner child has wounds.
When a partner rejects me, I go into depression for a long time. Even knowing I will pass over it, I keep falling emotionaly and it affects my life in different aspects.
I tend to have the necessity of approval from others.
This cames from my relationship with my father when I was young.
First step is done: being counscious about it. Now, I want to heal and overcome this so it does not repeats over and over again. 🙌
Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly what I’m going thru right this moment and I’m so grateful for this video and I wish you well on your progress
A scapegoat in the family dynamics. My inner child needs attention. Thanks so much.
I just finished to listen....oh boy! A lot of work awaits for me! Thank you Christina!
This was very interesting and informative. I never thought to work on my 1st Chakra, but it is clear I need to. Did a regression once where I was to visit my 6-7 year old self, and when I did, I felt such overwhelming loneliness. I felt so sad for my younger self to the point I was crying. While my upbringing was relatively decent on paper, (middle class in suburban America, had a roof, food, and clothes, sometimes went on vacations, not sexually or physically abused), my parents were not very supportive, kind, or warm people- their mantra seemed to be "children were to be seen and not heard". They were quite strict and hyper critical of us kids but never really offered solutions or guidance. I have very, very few memories of my childhood and zero of anyone ever really playing with or reading to me, etc. We were raised to be independent, which in a way has helped me as an adult, but at the same time, my family is not really a family. We hardly talk to each other, rarely see or visit each other, and it's always so awkward when we do. It's like I'm related to these people, but none of us have anything in common with each other. Even our extended family is not close and we are basically ignored by them too. It's just really bizarre. So, yeah. Root Chakra is getting some much needed love. Great video, I'm now a subscriber ❤
We have similar backgrounds. I keep asking , how did I end up with these people (my family)
Definitely having issues with inner child and shadow and so glad I stumbled on this today. I am going to do the exercises from the shadow work video, can't wait
When covid started increasing again, I knew I needed and wanted to stop being so afraid and I got tired of trying to control my environment. I placed a red bracelet on each of my family members and myself and chose to release that fear and trust. Well a few minutes after that we got a call from landlord he wants us to surrender house in 2 months... I have been feeling all sorts of feelings that came back to inner child. After seeing your video I now understand what I intended that day. I want to heal her. I think she wants to heal and be free... Thank you from both of us.
Perfect timing! During my recent psychotherapy session this week, we discussed about the inner child. I was wondering about the healing process, and, BAM, this video came up! Thanks so much!
I was bought up in a safe and secured household.. But I was always made to feel inadequate.. To an extent where I started doubting myself. I was laughed at, told off, reprimanded. Even if it was somebody else's fault, I would be lectured and made to feel I was the wrong one. I was a normal child with lot of energy, but as time passed, much into adolescence and adult life and even now, I have grown timid and shy. When alone and with close ones I am my true self.. with others I retreat into my shell. As I said this I had tears in my eyes..
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I wish I had found YOU when I began inner child healing last year. It would have saved me so much time and dare I say...money (programs, not therapy).
I need to rewatch your empath segment on how to know if I'm one, but aren't empaths set apart where they are ok with not belonging? Can someone point me in the right direction on this? I'm a non-trusting controller of myself and others due to childhood trauma, but I be damned if I'm going to leave this earth the same way. Thanks again!!!!
Wow this sounds exactly like me... God Speed 🤍🙏🏻
How do you have so much wisdom? So much energy. Truly your gifted,thank you for sharing.
This has been the most informative video I have found on this subject. Thank you ❤️
I believe I definitely had a wounded inner child and I still need to do work on this to heal it completely. I am so grateful for your assistance in all matters of my healing and hope you realise how wonderful and needed you are on this planet. I just wish more people knew these issues existed and how to go about healing them. ❤
Omg the part about romantic relationships and how your inner child would come out and shut down and pout gave me such a ding ding moment. So me! Wow this video is so eye opening for me. Thank you.
❤️🤗
same, it's insane.
the 10 year old me was so confused and the 15 year old me was hurt and lost. love this video, definitely took some notes :)
Most of the issues bubbling up for me this year, I now realize, have to do with the first chakra. I like the thought that I may be able to address all of them at once.
Well today I was reminded of the inner child work.. but as I leassoned to the video half the work is acknowledgement and understanding of the wounded inner child and how to identify it . Well then yes most definitely I've done the work. Soothing my inner child, validating my inner child, and most importantly for me was /is letting myself know I got this 👍🏼your safe now ...were bigger, smarter, stronger and we do exist!
Catching my child like behavior when triggered, letting things go that are out of my control.
And thanks for answering the question i did have witch was how does one know the work is done if the inner work is never finished?
But you addressed it by saying check if your Root Chakra off balance.
Thanks for clarifying a few things. Much luv and respect ❤💯
I suppressed the real me. It really hurts. And I don't know how to bring him out
hey, are you doing okay now? if not, what’s wrong? i hope that you’re doing better now and if you aren’t that’s okay too:)
@@themoonisbeautifulisntit2860 no im not. I need real hep 4 this issue
You can consider writing a mantra and stating it to yourself. Something like: "I now choose to live in my full expression and truth. I am free. I am free. I am free. And so it is." You deserve to be free and authentic, it is safe. Much love ❤️
@@grifeane it’s okay to not be okay , how are you feeling? (it’s okay to not be able to explain how you’re feeling or if you’re feeling multiple emotions that’s okay too!💕) and how can i help you in a way that’s most comfortable for you?:) i understand what you’re going through and i promise you it’s going to get better. i recommend starting shadow work and starting small with this , start with shadow work prompts that you know won’t bring up too much pain for you at first and then work into bigger issues when you feel you are ready, do things for yourself that make you feel happy or that you enjoy(of course things that are healthy!!) and most importantly , learn to be kind to yourself and to love yourself. all of these things are definitely easier said than done but it is most definitely possible and you are completely capable in doing so. actually there’s a lot more that i recommend , (my brain feels like it’s on the floor right now so i think the way i’m wording my words?? could be confusing LAMKDKF) starting with: shadow work , journaling , meditation specifically for what you are going through or need to work on:) , learning to love yourself (may be difficult at first which is completely okay if it is! but if you aren’t sure on how to do this , research into it), also when you are researching i know it can be easy to take things as factual especially if you are just beginning your journey or don’t know what to do , but trust your intuition with what information feels right for you. i hope this helps
I can REALLY feel u! I realized that all my life I suppressed my emotions because of my family issues. I realized that this made me fake, cause I never expressed the real me and what bothered me
Your teaching is prescious. I never could heal my inner child fundamentally coz no one ever told me, not even anyone in spiritual community that Inner Child is all about root chakra. I somehow saw them as seprate. Just watching this video shifted a lot of things inside me.
I have a wounded child inside me. I am also trying to heal her for years. I didn't have any info about doing it systematically before watching this video. I used to talk to my childhood photograph. It helped me alot. But yr technics are awesome. Thank you so much ❤️
Going to find a picture of my younger self! Ty for this idea
Omg! Me too, I also speak with my childhood photo 💞😮
Great Idea of photo!
it amazes me how your advice is free. i found your videos only a few days ago and i already feel like i’m in a better place mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. it’s free therapy that makes far better sense to me then the therapy i’ve paid for. i’m just so grateful to have stumbled across your channel! your videos are so healing and you are such a beautiful person! i keep sending your videos to help heal my friends and family as well so thank you!!! ☺️❤️
I'm crying. I had 3 consecutive dreams about a child that I was taking care of. I searched what it meant and I came across "inner child". Now that I'm watching this, we're definitely gonna heal my love. Wait for me, I will nurture you till death ❤️ also I'm always thankful of you Christina
I think I would try Reiki
@@alicemorrison3859 i dont know what Reiki is but I am familiar with the word
Carlie Meign Salundaguit
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of physical and spiritual healing and self-improvement. If you Google it there is a lot of information on the Internet about Reiki.. I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and many of my clients work through inner child wounds with the assistance of Reiki’s pure Love energy..🙏🏼 Blessings
I see @Alice. I'm gonna look into it.
Omg I had the same dream too last night
This makes so much sense. I come across so many clients who have inner child issues and have so much difficulty grounding and connecting with their body as well.
I have done a lot of inner child work in my life and now I understand why my first chakra is so stable. Grateful 🙏
This explains A LOT - a revelation. Thank you❤️
Really great segment. I didn't know I was dissociated from my body until I tried doing hypnotherapy. I wasn't in my body, just observing myself. This was at age 49! I couldn't figure out how to heal this until I tried psychedelic therapy at age 55. I learned I had dissociated twice. Once as an infant and once as a child. I reclaimed these parts in my ceremonies and am still integrating by learning to be present and grounded in my body.
Am I the only one who liked being sick as a kid because you liked being taken care of?

@@rzeznik2529 be careful with that mirror

I had a friend whose mom would hit him, unless sick where she would become calm and loving, as growing up he found himself in the hospital a lot. We talked about it, he realized his body was creating it as a survival mechanism and only way to get love
