Inner Child Healing

Last week, with the upcoming storm due to hit Los Angeles, I found my imagination going to worst-case scenarios. The fear from the media got under my skin, which is interesting phrasing when you think about things getting “under your skin.” That means it was able to make it through my boundaries, through all the layers of my aura, and into the core of me.
 
That fired me up with a “Hell no!” which led to me taking my power back and further saying, “I refuse that energy!”
 
With that though, I needed to discover why I was vulnerable, and I realized my inner child was fueling the fear. Everything in my reality felt too out of control with unknowns for her, thus creating dread.
 
Meditatively, I went in and asked her to show me what was happening in her reality, that felt out of control with unknowns. I found myself in my childhood bedroom, where I was tormented by ghosts at night. I saw her, as I used to be, surrounded by every stuffed animal possible, keeping her in a protective circle to ward off the dark energies.
 
With zero judgment and complete compassion, I allowed her to express her fears from her perspective. I let her talk and talk until she felt complete. Then I spoke to her and told her that while we couldn't do anything when we were little, now I could make a difference. I could shine the light of Divine energy on the monsters under the bed and in the closet and banish them. I could fill the tendril of fear that had infiltrated her little mind with the brightest golden light I could imagine, thus erasing it. And then I could pick up her up and integrate her into present time Me.
 
She loved these ideas, and I did them, while I held her, keeping her safe. Showing her the monsters will no longer have power over her.
 
With her in my arms, I grounded myself in present time, reminding myself that I'm always being taken care of, and that I'm choosing love (rather than fear) and an outcome of safety. Then I ran beautiful golden light down my nervous system to calm my body, while integrating her into my heart.
 
As the storm raged, I proclaimed as often as I needed, that I chose to see safety and love, while imagining a blanket of those energies over our house and our street.
 
And wouldn’t you know it, our house and street fared beautifully, and my inner child was happily at peace in her new safe place in my heart.
