Inner Child Journey

THE JOURNEY

Every journey is unique. I do not know what I'll see there - and that's the exciting part! To give you an idea - here are some of the things that typically occur in a reading:

A guide appears. An animal spirit guide typically appears to "chaperone" the journey. This guide may reflect the protective & loving forces that currently surround you or they may have a special kinship to your Inner Child.  

Some of the animal guides that showed up and their personalities: a lighthearted, enthusiastic & mega-extra owl; a majestic manta ray doming the desert skies

I am greeted at the entrance of your Inner Child-scape. I arrive at the entrance to your inner realm and ask for permission to enter. Your Inner Child may show up to greet me right away or your animal guide may proceed to usher me in. The entrance to your Inner Childscapes provides valuable insight on how you relate to people and to the world.  

Some of the entrances I've seen: a hatch door leading to an underground bunker, a medieval castle surrounded by a formidable moat, a magic 8 ball with a labyrinthine staircase

I journey to meet your Inner Child. After entering your Inner Childscape, some means of transportation usually appears to take me to your Inner Child. The path towards your Inner Child reveals the distance between your conscious mind and this particular aspect of your Inner Child that you're meeting.

Some of the ways in which I've traveled: being picked up by a limousine, climbing down an infinite amount of staircases down an angry volcano, a fun theme park ride on a paddle boat

I arrive at your Inner Child's dwelling and interact with them. This is where your Inner Child lives and where I get to interact with your Inner Child. The landscape or scene surrounding your Inner Child is an extension of them - revealing their personality, the level of safety they feel, the type of environment they thrive in, or the nightmares they are trapped in. This is also the time when your Inner Child communicates with me.

Some of the experiences I've had: Inner Child takes me on a tour around an exciting theme park while she confidently twirls a trident with her hands, an ancient tribal dancer with a koala mask shining a spot light on me and demanding to know who I am and what I want

During this part of the journey, I may also meet other parts of you that wishes to be known and seen. The other parts of your psyche often have a symbiotic relationship with your Inner Child. If the reading is "shadow worky" in nature - I may see a few Shadow Creatures that are haunting your Inner Child.

An example of a Shadow Creature: a Scary Clown that gets bigger every time you distract yourself from your Inner Child's pain by cracking a joke or pulling a stunt

I meet your Wonder Child/Higher Self and receive guidance and blessings. Near the end of a reading, the part of you that's love & light & stardust often shows up to share positive affirmations and messages. They may offer unexpected gifts, energetic healing as well as answers to any questions you may have.

THE INTERPRETATION

As part of the reading, I follow with extensive interpretations comments about what I saw during the Inner Child Journey. Each stage of the journey holds key answers and insights about who you are as a person, your relationship with your Inner Child, and your psyche. Everything I see is a manifestation and expression of your Inner Child and your Inner World. I break down the symbolism and motifs for you and elaborate on the journey in great detail.  

Here are few excerpts from the Inner Child Journey Readings I've done:

e.g. Being asked to drop my weapons before entering the hatch door (that leads to a bunker) represents the hostility, distrust and cynicism you may feel towards people in general. This shows that your Inner Child constantly feels unsafe as if they are in a warzone with nobody to rely on and that they need to protect themselves all the time.

e.g. Your inner child world’s entrance is a magic 8 ball. This may describe your fun, unpredictable and witty personality. You are very playful, very perceptive and I get the feeling that you “like to play with the answers of things”. Like there’s no fixed answer to anything. No absolute truths. The reality is shifting all the time, so why not shift with it?

I will also include additional descriptions of your Inner Child, observations I've made or messages from your Inner Child in this section:

e.g. The fact that your inner child greets me at the gate shows her extraverted nature, and that she is welcoming, trusting and carefree. Usually, the entrance or the journey that I take to one’s inner child represents how one relates to people and how they “let people in” into their world. You’re not afraid to show yourself to the world; you have a lot of fun and positivity to offer and you’re very open and perfectly willingly to share your joy and your personality with others.

e.g. Your sense of humor is definitely a power source for you and helps you navigate complicated perspectives and sticky situations in life. Your inner child encourages you to tap into it but wants you to moderate it sometimes so you don’t go into overdrive and use it to gaslight yourself, especially when you don’t want to be in the spotlight or when you are feeling unsafe.

What to ask

Instead of thinking about one big question to ask, think about what your intentions are with your inner child and what you’d like the focus of the reading to be.

• e.g. “I’d like to connect with my inner Wonder Child and learn how to tap into their magic when I embark on creative endeavors.”

• e.g. “I’d like to know what my Inner Child needs from me when it comes to my romantic relationships.”

• e.g. “I’d like to see what my Inner Child landscapes look like in general.”

Choosing the focus of this reading will play an important role in the parts of your Inner Child world that I journey to. If you choose to connect with the more magical, wonderstruck and positive aspects of your inner child, I may experience a world that is more fantastical, vibrant and creative. If you choose to explore a more shadowy aspects of your inner child (e.g. by diving into a wound underlying a situation) you may be presented with darker landscapes & interact with darker archetypes in your inner world.

For example, I have done readings I enter their inner child universe via some of their fondest childhood memories of camping. This led me straight to their Inner Wonder Child (the positive & magical aspects of their inner child) who dwells in a fantastical theme park with nature, animal guides and spaceships. I have also done readings where it’s more of a journey of exploration into their fears, and I’ve been presented with harsher landscapes such as the dessert or a volcano to reflect their experiences.

That is not to say if you choose to delve into a “darker” or “heavier” issue, I’ll automatically see something dark or nightmarish, by the way. Sometimes, your darker aspects “or what’s considered “scary” may also appear when you want a reading that’s all love and light. Like I said, each journey is unique, so please keep in mind that I do not have perfect control over what I see and what seeks to emerge via this journey from you.
