HEALING YOUR INNER CHILD WITH CRYSTAL THERAPY

Traumatic experiences in your early childhood can deeply influence your adult life. Often these experiences become buried deeply in the rececesses of the body, mind and spirit (psyche) and cause problems such as depression, anxiety and lack of confidence,etc.

The inner child is a universal archetype that, when approached, brings not only the release of negative emotions and restrictions within the adult you have become, but also an outpouring of hope and creativity for the future.

Crystals have been used for thousands of years not only for decoration, magic and in religious ceremonies but more importantly for healing and protection.Crystals can be used freely and safely to help you access and heal your inner child.

YOU WILL NEED

1 Clear Quartz

1 Smoky Quartz

1 Smithsonite, natural or tumbled (the pink -lavender form of this stone is preferred)

WHAT YOU HAVE TO

1. Lie down comfortably on the floor.

2. Place the Clear Quartz, above your crown chakra (crown of your head) Then place the Smoky Quartz, between your feet. Place the Smithsonite on your heart chakra.

3. Close your eyes, breathing gently and slowly and allow yourself to relax starting at your feet and working upwards.

4. Review how your life was as a child. Send a silent message to your inner child and invite him or her to come and join you.It may take several minutes to establish contact but it is worth persisting.

5. Visualize your inner child, imagine how he or she looks and feels. Is it how you expected?

6. Speaking softly ask your inner child if anything is troubling him or her and if so how can you help? You may be shown a past experience that has caused you emotional upset. If it feels appropriate review the experience but this time change the outcome. Instead of a negative ending replace it with a positive one!. All your inner child may be seeking is perhaps a simple reassuring hug or you could offer some words of comfort or advice.

7. Your inner child might also suggest that you explore some new creative pursuits or change your lifestyle. Take a mental note and write it down afterwards to consider.

8. When your intuition tells you the time is right, open your eyes become fully awake and remove the crystals.

You may wish to practice this exercise over a period of time until you feel that you have at last healed your inner child conflicts and you are ready to begin life afresh.
