Healing the Inner Child
by Brad Austen

Many of us didn't have a perfect childhood whilst we were growing up. In our innocence we can be hurt or let down by our parents and guardians, which can leave us feeling unsafe, hurt or afraid. It can be cold comfort, but our parents did the best job they knew how. Often, their childhood wasn't ideal either.

As we grow into adulthood, a part of ourselves, our inner child is always with us. If we have unresolved issues from our childhood, it can create blocks and trauma in our adult life. Sometimes as a child we may repress feelings or trauma to protect ourselves or because we felt unsafe to express ourselves at the time. If you have experienced this, your inner child may need some healing. The good news is that it is never too late to heal wounds of the past. In fact often these traumatic events become frozen or trapped in time, until we are ready to face and clear them. It is not always an easy process, but a rewarding one.

The meditations on this album will assist you in this process of healing your inner child. You can use these meditations to support you during your healing journey. You may also like to have some assistance from a trained counselor to help you in this process, particularly if you have some very deep traumatic events to clear. It is advisable to take this process gradually, as there can be many layers of pain to heal and release. To begin with, it is recommended to listen to these meditations once or twice a week and then have a rest period to reintegrate and rebalance yourself again.

Thank you once again for all your generosity of spirit and commitment to help heal others' pain.

Healing the Inner Child Meditation (15:16)

In this meditation I guide you on a journey to release your anger and resentment towards people that may have hurt you during your childhood. I guide you through a visualization where you are in a cinema theatre and begin to watch the memories from your childhood play out on the screen. As you confront and relive these memories, you are given the opportunity to release and heal your pain and anger in a safe space.

Timeline Travel Meditation (17:17)

In this meditation I guide you on a journey to recreate a traumatic or unhappy event from your past to heal the memory of it. I guide you to visualize yourself on a timeline where you walk back into your past and clear and release the pain, so you may be clear and healed in the present.
