Embrace Your Inner Alchemist: Healing Your Inner Child

Your inner child screams while your inner king whispers. This powerful duality often plays out in our daily lives. You might find yourself in a heated argument with a loved one, only to feel an inexplicable mood linger for days. The reason? Your inner child has been stirred—maybe a core wound was exposed, or a deep-seated need to be seen, heard, or supported wasn’t met.

The truth is, that person can’t heal your inner child; only you can.

Become the Alchemist of Your Life

This is your invitation to become the alchemist of your life. Just as alchemists sought to transform lead into gold, you can crystallize your soul into its fullest expression. Welcome to the Golden Life! In today’s exploration, we’ll dive deep into the inner work needed to heal your inner child and embody your higher self.

How Connected Are You to Your Inner Child?

We all have an inner child, filled with unique needs and desires. If you navigate life unconsciously, this child can wield power over you. To truly embody your highest self, you must foster a strong relationship with both your inner child and your inner king or queen.

A Personal Story of Transformation

Let me share a meaningful story through my toys. I have a Deadpool figurine wearing a crown, symbolizing the king, and a Lego Groot that’s half Venom. These gifts arrived in my life for a reason, reflecting significant aspects of my own journey.

Growing up on a walnut farm, I spent countless hours outdoors. I see myself as grounded, but I often get stuck in my head. Venom represents my shadow side—the parts of me that are hurt and scared. This inner child longs to belong, fit in, and have its needs met.

Healing Your Inner Child

Much of the inner work involves healing this inner child and integrating your shadow. This foundational relationship is essential for hearing your higher self. However, it’s crucial not to get lost in endless healing. Balancing cathartic work with joy and curated peak experiences is key. It’s easy to fall into the trap of “there’s always more to heal,” but remember: your inner king or queen is equally important.

You Are Your Own Perfect Parent

The beautiful truth is that no one else in the universe can be the perfect parent to your inner child—only you. Whether or not you had great parents, they can’t know your every need. By creating a practice to spend time with your inner child, you cultivate peace and love within.

A Practical Exercise

To start this journey, find a quiet moment in your day to check in with your inner child. Visualize them sitting in front of you or in your lap. Give them a big hug and let them know you’re ready to listen. This simple practice can lead to profound discoveries about your needs and desires.

• Create Space: Take a few minutes—maybe even an hour—to ground yourself in nature. Feel the earth beneath your feet and breathe deeply.
• Visualize: Picture your inner child. Hug them, and let them know how much you love them.
• Listen: Allow them to express their feelings. What do they need? What do they long for?
• Act: After your conversation, thank your inner child for their trust. Let them know you’ll do your best to meet their needs. 

Building the Foundation

As you nurture this relationship, you’ll better understand the voice of your inner child and begin to hear the whispers of your higher self. Remember, it’s essential to differentiate between the two—are your desires coming from your inner child or your higher self?

I keep my Groot and Deadpool figurines visible to remind me of this dynamic. The inner child often screams for attention, while the inner king sits patiently, embodying calmness and wisdom.

The Journey Ahead

Healing is a lifelong journey. As you become the perfect parent to your inner child and cultivate your relationship with your higher self, you unlock your true potential. You’ll find the beauty in this process and learn to trust your inner guidance.
