Have you ever deeply observed the way a child sees the life?
The children have a powerful manner to watch what is natural: the fact to be completely absorbed by the fruit of their attention: they are not anymore, they merger literally with the object: the subject, the object and the way of seeing become one. They embody unconsciously and naturally the ONEness.
The objective by regaining the inner child is to reactivate our kid view. The children do not have the different filters, the layers due to the education, the past, the environment all these data which build and shape the personality. In Latin “persona” means the mask implying the fact we are actors and which means thereby that our true nature is beyond of these different filters and masks which obstruct the deep truth of the reality: the true “I AM”.
Regaining your child vision allows to marvel at the small gifts of the present life. The kids evolve in their bubble, their shield, they do not care about the regard of others: they play, they invent their own world, with their rules and the fictive characters breathing life into them.
Life is for them a gigantic playground because all is a pretext to have fun and each little thing can be a source of entertainment. The world of adults fascinate them: they love to participate in our games.
All the kids are like jumping or dancing I mean they are so exciting just by the fact to give a note to the cashier. It becomes “Playing shop” or to open up the door of the subway, just typing on a computer is fun and a source of entertainment meaning thereby that mummy or daddy are playing all the time, driving becomes like doing carting and so on. Preparing the food, cooking is like playing at a dinner party with dolls:
Building a hut, a tree house is fun for them, an architect becomes a magician, the workers around are perceived as elves. In their eyes, life is an enchanted fairyland.
They marvel basically about the single present moment that they ignite and thereby they sublimate life. They have the sparks in the eyes capable to enlighten everything. If we remember what was our perception and grid of reading the great book of life by diving in our deep inner self we could activate it again. Therefore we could find back an amazing fairly land which could resurface to put some colors sometimes in our black and white gloomy lives.
The kids are never sad except punctually for a little caprice, a collapse… but as they are innocent they live in an eternal present. They never project in future potential danger or problems. In a certain way, unconsciously the children practice naturally mindfulness.
The finality is to activate a magic triptych that I called “childult presage”.
This triad or trinity is made of 3 concepts: 1-kid 2-adult 3-sage which could be associated with 1-art 2-science 3-metaphysics
1-child: it is linked to the dreams, creativity, and innocence of small moments of happiness, what makes you say “wow” to marvel (art)
2-adult: it is linked to rules, structure, morality, respect… actions (the sciences)
3-sage: it is linked to the detachment, the distance, the abstraction (the metaphysics)
NB: Presage as it is in progress, it is not a diploma but an endless improvement which is also a presage (subtle mess sage: message).
Let’s meditate on all that but only kids who still believe in beautiful stories can make these dreams come true.
Therefore the more psychoanalytic approach of the inner child can be approached in 5 steps to clean up eventually the burdens dig down deeply or repressed since the childhood:
Indeed a balanced adult is built by a stable inner child who highlights your common Light.
As a learning concept, in Shambali you will discover through different techniques on how to regain your inner child. We will do some guided meditations (and auto-hypnosis practices) to release and to console your inner child for the adult that you embrace each other harmoniously.
