You can start by finding a photo of yourself as a child that you can look at for a few moments. School photos often work well to help you connect with this part of you. Sit in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and start taking deep breaths. Set the intention that you are going to connect with your child within. Wait for an image of yourself as a child to appear in your mind’s eye. See your grown-up self hugging your child within. Listen to what your child has to say. Perhaps your child wants to give you the answer to a question that you've been mulling over. After all, you never needed to look outside yourself when you were a child to know how you felt or what was true for you. You always knew the answers. There also may be an ache from a childhood wound that you can now heal by talking to your child and offering them the wisdom and perspective that comes with maturity. Or maybe you've merely forgotten how to see the world with childlike wonder and hope! , and your child would like you to remember how. Tell your child that you love them and will keep them safe. Embrace your child and tell them that you are always there for them. Allow your child within to always be there for you.
Connecting to your child in with meditation is a very useful tool, but you can also connect with your child even when you aren't in meditation. Treat yourself to a play date, ice cream, or a walk in the park. Let yourself laugh and play more. Give yourself permission to be as wise as your child so you can stop focusing on what isn't important and start living as if every moment is precious. Your life will be filled with more laughter and fun.
