What is the inner child?
Your inner child is your original self that entered into this world.
It contains your original state of being - with the capacity to experience wonder, joy, innocence, sensitivity, unconditional love and playfulness.
The notion of the inner child was first postulated by Carl Jung, and is now widely accepted as a psychological or phenomenological reality of the self, and a super powerful one at that.
We were all once children - a time that shaped us greatly, and still have that child dwelling within us.
But most of us are quite unaware of this.
And this lack of conscious relatedness to our own inner child is where so many behavioral, emotional and relationship difficulties stem from.
And so True maturity hinges on acknowledging, accepting, and taking responsibility for loving and parenting our own inner child.
