This board is multifaceted, crossing various topics from New Age, spirituality, metaphysical, psychology, physical issues, relationships, emotions, self-help and more. It is created for those who seek change and desire to empower themselves, to live life as an expression of who they really are in unconditional love. If you think/feel that your life and this world full of denial, fear and unlovingness is totally opposite what you desire, it is no coincidence that you are here.

To say that this board will be controversial is an understatement as it goes against almost everything society presently believes to be true about emotions, feelings, life and love. But then why wouldn't it be controversial if the desire and goal is the opposite of what is presently being experienced! To empower yourself, you need to be open to challenge everything you believe to be true, especially about love, life, emotions and feelings and also be willing to end your denials of self.

I openly share the knowledge, tools, messages and insights that I've gained through sixteen years of intensive personal experience and in working with others on their journey. Feel free to visit the various forums and posts and to also add your personal experiences, comments and questions. It is my intent that the ideas and works that will be discussed within this forum will not only expand your consciousness, but also activate your emotions and touch your heart.

In love, light and life,
John Rieger aka Shenreed

Psychologists and psychiatrists while aware of the Inner Child basically dismiss it. Instead, they prefer to label any emotional issues as being related to some post traumatic stress syndrome, internal chemical imbalance, external or environmental causes, hereditary, or whatever else they can come up with to treat the symptom and not the cause. As long as they have an answer that you willing accept, they are in control. They have left the inner child to those outside main stream medicine, which has also added to the confusion of emotional healing. While most of our present emotional damage was inflicted on us during our infancy and early childhood, there is also a lot that goes back to past lives and major original imprinting. Whenever we have no choice in controlling an unloving and unpleasant experience, the only thing we have control of, to enable us to survive was to control our emotions. And so in order for us to survive, we bury the emotional piece of us deep in our sub-conscious mind. And it is that part of us; our inner child that is locked in our sub-conscious mind and is left trapped in that past experience. The part of you that survived is the part that is reading this post and this is the part of you that needs to go back to heal and recover that hurt part of you. You have conscious awareness of the experiences of this hurt inner child and so you will be able to reach and heal this part you by allowing yourself to feel and express everything that was denied during the traumatic experiences the inner child had. The present experiences are not the real issues as they only come up again and again to remind you of past times when you have similar experiences, and of the hurt inner child that want to re-connect with you, that want and needs your love and acceptance. To begin to heal your inner child you need to allow yourself to express your emotions in the moment you are activated. Instead of trying to control your emotions or the person or thing activating you, you need to allow yourself to go past your present false emotions (False Will) back to your childhood. If you cant do it with the people that you are involved with, then you will have to do it in private when and where it is safe for you do to so. Writing your emotions in a journal, when you are feeling is an effective way to get these emotions moving. You need to become the little you (the inner child) again and feel what he/she is feeling and to allow him/her to express their terror, heartbreak, angry and rage. In expressing your anger and rage, make it your intent that you are not to harm yourself or others or anything else. ONLY the (the BIG you) that is reading this message, can give (the little you) the love that he/she never got from you. Because (the BIG you) that survived, has NOT been wanting to feel (the little you) ever since the original experience and has tried everything to shut him/her out of your life. But that is impossible, as (the little you) is the part of you that is lost in time and space. And is a part of what you have been feeling all your life, except that you think it is other people, places or things that are giving you the problem with your emotions and feelings. Until you allow (the little you) to express what it is that you wouldnt or are afraid to say or do, nothing will change and you will just keep going around in circles with only form changes to make it seem like the problem is solved. There is no simple quick fix for healing your inner child but healing is possible. Before you can get to the healing your inner child you will have to do some REAL emotional work in ALL areas where you have issues, as anything else is conditional love. You need to get yourself to the point of having acceptance to allow the inner child to express itself, in order for the inner child to trust you that you are going to mean what you say and not just give it lip service like you did in the past. Healing the inner child is only part of the process of Wholistic healing, as healing the inner child will then take you to healing the outer child. I would like to share my personal experience in healing an aspect of my inner child so that you have an idea of how to find and heal your inner child. The outer child is another topic and I will do a separate post on healing it.

It's nice to see that others share the same experiences. I don't remember if I did a post on the inner critic but I feel that I need to briefly mention it here as you have experienced it. The INNER/OUTER Critic is NOT you. It is an unloving light inside you that controls and manipulates you. It is the enemy within that either attacks you or others. It is not loving (unconditionally) no matter how nice it sounds or how it rationalizes or justifies unloving action to defend yourself. Once you are aware of this "inner" voice and begin to challange it, like you said, the clatter begins to stop as it is confused that you "know" that it's there and that you are not listening to it like you used to. You also then begin to connect with your higher self, the voice that is Unconditionally loving, and supportive, with compassion, acceptance for all parts of you and for others on their journey. The most blantant and obvious are first to be recognized and then it becomes subtler and subtler and more difficult to catch, but catch it you will.
