I did this last night and the moment I met my inner child, I just couldn't stop saying ‘I am sorry’ to her while sobbing profusely for no reason and then when I asked her what does she want, she answered- “ I just want to live. I don't even want to be happy. I just don't want you to kill me.” Thank you, Michael.
Thank you very much for this Michael! As a child, I was such an adventurous, carefree and openly loving person, even to the point that some bad people took advantage of it. As I grew, I became distant, afraid of making decisions, afraid of disappointing everyone. I talked to my inner child, and she told me “have no fear. Take the path no one else dare to do so, just like how you go on adventures as a chid, without fearing anyone or any place.” Then at the end, she gave me a heart-shaped crystal and I cried.
Anger is a normal PART of the journey; let it strengthen your determination to protect your inner child -- and others -- from neglect and abuse. Without anger, you can succumb to validating and further internalizing the abuse. By practicing compassion for ourselves and others we erode the toxic deposits of the past.
I was mentally abused as a child, this has definitely crossed over into my adult life, I always feel less than or dumb even though I know that I am not. Hopefully this will help heal. Peace and love to all, may we all find the healing we need
I did the same thing too. I told her multiple times I love her so much and it’s okay to be different. She needed a lot of buildup to become a emotionally healthy person. And I always gave her a hug.
When I saw my 5 year old self I embraced her and then kissed her on her forehead. When I was leaving she gave me a hug and kissed me on my forehead and said “visit me more” and then smiled. I literally bawled my eyes out during this. Thank you 💜💫✨
I’m so glad I found this. The last ten days I’ve been in childhood trauma mode. She’s been begging for help. All the horrible memories I’ve remember all the time and new ones came up. This first play through i fell asleep ten minutes in and woke up exactly when he said to turn it off if you’re going to sleep. I did. A couple hours later I woke up and tried again. This time all the good memories I had at that age started going by until I found her on the bed alone, abandoned and crying. I was sobbing. The way I spent all my nights as a child. I just cradled her and comforted her and told her how much I loved her and I was so sorry. She didn’t want to be alone anymore, I told her it wasn’t her fault and she’s not bad. I told her that she can be whoever she wants to be and I’m here for her. As I was saying goodbye she put her hands on my cheeks and said, “I love you” I took this memory and put it into my chest and now I feel she’s here. I feel she doesn’t feel she’s alone anymore. I’m supposed to start EMDR with my therapist soon but because I’m ADHD/Autistic as well I thought I should start practising since My brains resistant and I’m so happy I found this. Thank you 🙏 ❤️ I realize that by hurting myself and putting myself down I’m invalidating everything she went through. She was brave and strong and she doesn’t deserve anymore pain, she deserves freedom and happiness and above all, to be loved.
Wow. I have been reading through all these comments, but when I cam across yours I just started to cry. I read the next one and came back to yours again and I just started crying more. It really hit me.
Hi I have adhd too. What do you mean when you say your brain is resistant? I found this really difficult. I couldn't visualise my inner child or sense any strong memories. I felt very detached from the experience. I'm glad this was really helpful and meaningful for you. ❤
never tought that this will bring me that far. my inner child told me that i was jealous of my younger brother. we are only 2 years apart. he got more attention than me. i told my younger self "it is ok. you do not need those attentions. just focus on yourself and you will grow up making your parents proud."
I’m a teenager healing my inner child because I noticed I can’t even cry from a lot of emotional pain and I think me and them are now on the right track I even was able to cry a few held in tears with them right now it felt so amazing I’ve also promised them we’ll experience every memory we can think of together to heal
It’s good that you’re healing before adulthood I wish I would have known as a teenager that I needed healing unfortunately drs had me on prescription medication and my home life sucked it was very toxic I went through a lot of bs in my early 20s with family and I’m 29 this year I’ve finally let go I feel cleansed of all the drama and I’m back to me now!!
You too huh,I’m glad we’re able to realize this and try to heal ourselves while our brain is still developing so these habits can stick, I’m 16 and seeing back on my life all my anxiety and found and beliefs have been brought on me by other people and I’m currently trying to fix these things, my biggest problem is self trust, it feels like all my life all the big moments and decisions I let other people take instead of going for it on my own. But the point of this comment wasn’t about me, it was to tell you your doing an amazing job and your not alone, keep it up bro we gon beat this😤💪
@@pkhe279 one thing i wish i could tell myself is that my 16 yo self was still part of my inner child. Take care of you now as well. Your inner teen (now) needs you
Teen here. Recently found out about how to heal your inner child and it’s something i desperately needed. I wasn’t sure if feeling your inner child as a teen would work but seeing this comment is reassuring. thank you
My inner child was so clear once the hypnosis began, always as her eager self. She told me “I want to have fun again” ….. I immediately interpreted this as I need to enjoy life more and stop taking life so serious. Tears constantly rolled down my face this entire time. Really needed this 💗
Did this twice so far, both times started out relaxed but while dealing with my inner child was clenching muscles. Both times realized this stress and let them relax, it seemed like releasing some pressure. I explained to my younger self that other children were mean and jealous. That his differences made him special and unique and he would be appreciated for this as he grew. That he was not ugly, his skin tone was attractive. He could be loved just the way he was, that his being different and sensitive was amazing and that he could take pride in himself. He didn’t need to change or be something more, he already was good enough. I loved him and that’s all he needed, we could do this together without proving anything to anyone else.
I was dealing with lot of self worth, acceptance issues - but never understood the patterns, these emotions of acceptance and worth were suppressed ..i thought i am doing good but when i was kept in certain situations by life there were this emotions of lack, insecurity, acceptance, self-worth coimg up. Well , through this inner child healing meditation and journaling i got to understand what memories from my childhood lead to this patterns.. thank you so much ...on my beautiful journey to heal myself ❤
+Miss Tinks I have just discovered Michael's site and through this meditation experienced one of most empowering affirmations that life is worth living and that I am worthy. I am also borderline and this released a lot of trauma for me. I plan on doing more of his meditations. Bless you, Betty
I appreciate your comment because I too have BPD, and I was wondering if this content would be healing or detrimental. I've done a lot of "shadow work" in the past 4 years, but I'm always apprehensive of what I haven't yet healed. Thanks for speaking up about how this content impacts BPD. I'll give this a listen. Namaste. 🦋
My child self told me to still do the things I love without fear or anxiety. Pick up a book and read more, paint like we used to. It also told me to love myself more and stop hating myself so much. I told her I was sorry I couldn’t protect her from so much pain but I loved her and am still learning to love my adult self
I honestly doubted myself. But I was actually able to go back to my 13 year old self. I screamed, cried so hard I thought I was going to bust a blood vessel in my eyes and I threw up twice. I knew I needed a deep release and I got it! I will be doing this again to continue healing from my childhood trauma. I feel so much better!!! I’m so extremely grateful for this video!!
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but this was an experience. I genuinely had no idea I was capable of this. I visited my childhood home and saw my younger self, my parents and my little sister, even all my cats I used to have. I spoke with my younger self. I need so desperately to be loved, and to be able to trust in love, after going through such abandonment and trauma for years from a young age. Thank you for this video. I feel so enlightened, like there is something worth trying for now. Myself.
I saw my inner child, inner teenager, and inner past adult self for the very first time. When they appeared to me that looked horrible but as I talked to them as you was telling me too I seen them starting to form into a happier healthier version of themselves and then they showed me doors that they were in that were full of bad things and I told them I promise to protect and filled it with our favorite things which is a bed of brightly fresh colored flowers before I left and they was happy. Thank you so much for this experience! It was much needed!
I am speechless. I met my inner child, 2-year-old me outside the hospital where I had my heart surgery at the same age. That child looked angry at first, but then I realized that she was actually in pain and scared. I understand myself so much better now, I always thought I'm a person full of hate, but I just realized that it's not hate - it's fear of feeling pain or being left alone. Thank you so much!
I ran across this on accident about 2 days ago. I never paid much attention to it as I cannot remember anything extremely traumatic from my childhood. This is funny because my childhood is full of some very painful memories, but nothing that I have let bother me as an adult.. OR SO I THOUGHT 😳 After months of different meditations that have helped, but never really felt a difference the next day, "back to my old self." Something is happening... For 2 days now,.. I have gotten up before noon, I'm happy, and full of energy. I have to say.. whatever's going on here, is really changing my life, 1 day at a time! I'm feeling amazing! Thank you! 😁
I have ptsd from childhood abuse and sexual assault, i met my younger self but she looked like me right before the worst of it happened and while im there crying my eyes out to her she just stands there smiling at me. It just hurt to see myself like that but then she told me that she wanted to grow up to be as cool as me and see new things. She did seem all knowing in a way but to an almost apathetic extent.. This was really helpful though and it did help me proccess a few things
I was so skeptical about this meditation, over-analyzed everything I was feeling as I experienced it and expected some massive awakening. But as it went deeper, I realized the memories that immediately popped into my head that I was overlooking while I searched for my awakening WERE my awakening. The answers all lied inside my mind all along. This was truly beautiful and eye opening. Thank you for this
What an interesting experience, this was! It didn't quite go how I was expecting, but it went exactly as it needed to. My inner child presented herself to me as my 12-year-old self. The best way for me to describe her is "plucky." She's curious, witty, and fun-loving. She makes me smile. The true hypnosis had barely begun when I was brought to a memory of a camping trip that I had taken with my Grade 7 class, where I was on a canoe in a life jacket with an older male camp counsellor, far out into the lake. I couldn't swim, and this was distressing to me at the time, but they assured me that everything would be okay. Even still, I was nervous. And the camp counsellor was saying things to me that my younger self didn't understand at the time yet made me very uncomfortable - but my adult self, immediately, knew what was happening and could sense the danger. I was reliving the scene as my younger self, looking through her eyes, and I could feel her fear - OUR fear. And all I hear in my conscious mind is, "I'm not safe! I'm not safe!" So, despite Michael's earlier instructions (it hadn't even reached the point where we could enter a memory yet), I somehow, as my adult self, went in the memory and grabbed my inner child, leading her away from that man, and we both continued listening to the meditation instructions together. I could feel her disposition changing. She, immediately, felt at peace and showed me her true nature: her plucky, curious, witty self. As we went on, "further down", she would comment on things we were seeing, ask me questions about what was happening, and was just, genuinely, excited about this little journey we were going on. She was happy to have left that canoe on that lake. When we arrived at the "memory bubbles" and looked on into the different scenarios playing out in each bubble, she would smile and laugh, pointing at certain ones, saying "I remember that!" But the one bubble, the one memory, I was really drawn to was the one from which she wanted to escape. I reached towards it - but she objected in a stoic manner, all smiles gone. "I don't wanna go back there," she said. But I knew I had to. There was something there that I needed to face. So off we went. Now, I'm the one sitting across from her in the canoe. I look back into her face, and she's SO scared. Her eyes are large and filled with dread, anxiousness, and worry. Instinctively, I reach out to hold her face in my hands, stroke her hair, try to comfort her a little. I call her "sweetheart", hug her, kiss her forehead, tell her how amazing she is, how proud of her I am. I assure her, with all of my might, that nothing that has happened is her fault; she's done her very best, and I'm so proud. I tell her how much I love her, how beautiful she is. I tell her of all the challenges that she's going to overcome - and that, one day, she'll even get to sing on a stage when she's older. She looked back at me in amazement. "You're really nice", she said to me. "You're like someone I can trust." When I asked her what message she has for me, all she said was "I love you. I feel like you don't really hear that a lot, so I wanted to tell you." Then I asked her if there's anything I can do for her? And she answered, "Don't leave me." I smiled and assured her that I never will because she's a part of me, and I'm a part of her. Strangely enough, though, she didn't recognize me as herself; she thought I was someone else, entirely. She looked at me, shocked, and said, "You're so pretty!" And I told her, "so are you. You're beautiful. Never let anyone make you believe otherwise." When the time came for her to give me a parting gift, she gave me this character that I used to draw, called "Da Tomato." Just as the name intended, it was a stylized red tomato with wacky green hair and a big smile on his face. To her, it was a symbol of "doing whatever you want and being happy." I then asked her what I can do, right now, in my adult life to be happy. And she looked at me, confused. "Why are you asking ME that?" Like, why would an adult need to ask a child about how to be happy? Shouldn't they already know? She then shrugged and added, nonchalantly, "Just be happy." When it was time to leave, and as I saw her walking back to the rest of her fellow campers, I quickly called back to her: "Tell the other counsellors what that man said to you!" I hope she heard. It was almost like she was waiting for me to rescue her. And in a way, I think I did. Thank you so much for this, Michael. It was extremely enlightening.
this comment made me sob. i couldn’t get through even ten minutes of the video because it was too hard to face that part of my life and how i felt. when i read your comment and where you said to your inner child “nothing that happened to you was your fault,” i started crying so hard and i didn’t even understand why. thank you.
I cried the whole time. Yet I couldn't read fast enough so I could my little girl. Good luck to you both. I've been reading from older wiser women. To talk to her. I hope I can find her ❤️
This was my very first hypnosis experience. I remember being scared so I recorded myself. This made me cry and ushered the beginning of my healing journey. It has been over 4 years now. Thank you, Michael.
This was my first experience too. I have been really afraid of hypnosis until today. I am really glad to have done this and I feel positive about embracing and revisiting my beautiful, little girl. Cheers!
@@juliemcdonald1245 That's awesome! I'm glad to know about your positive experience with hypnosis. I actually did this again a month ago, and I was amazed at how different the scenario was. The first time I did it I still have a lot of baggage and grudges. My precious inner child is now in a better place. Michael has been an angel in my healing journey. And the healing continues. Cheers!
I've never experienced anything like this and I've learned something or rather something was unblocked during this that I can't ignore because I have to be there for that little girl and for that teenager.
Tears and tears just shed. I’m just amazed I could see my inner child and telling me to stay strong and love myself more. This is incredible. Thank you. I still feel like bursting into pro-founding tears after this
This was absolutely amazing. I feel as if I was right in between being awake and asleep. I saw me as a child, so happy carefree and full of love. I feel as if my batteries were re charged. Thank you for this experience
I just met my younger self in my old nurses office/ safely blanket. At my elementary school and she was drawing at the old little desk and she gave me a pencil as her gift. And now I remember it’s art, I need to get back to. It’s always been there for me when words weren’t. And the scene was so vivid, I didn’t know I even remember that much of the old school since they tore it down after my first grade year. Thank you. More than you know, thank you.
My Mum just passed away aged 85. I revisited myself when I was 3, a particular day that I remember vividly, that I got a tingling rush through my body and said in my mind, I feel so good right now! Words to that affect. Towards the end of the meditation I went into the kitchen with 3 year old me and cuddled Mum, who was at the sink doing the dishes. She knew exactly who I was even though I was 10 years older than her. It was so beautiful and healing. She called Dad out of the bedroom and we all cuddled together with the biggest smiles. I feel really good right now. Thank you Michael! I have been using your meditations for 5 years now. Life saving and now life changing. And yes tears rolled down my cheeks. A single tear from each eye.
I have done several meditations to heal my inner child, and usually it is me who comforts her, tells her everything is OK and that she's safe now, but I experienced something different this time: it was my inner child who hugged and comforted me. She had to go through so much, and as an adult, looking back on all of it now, I cannot believe how strong and brave she was. She survived when most adults would have just given up. I am so proud of her and of the woman I have become! And my inner child feels she can trust me for I am honoring her life and dreams every day ⭐🌙
I did one of these a couple weeks ago, a social anxiety one w/ a regression; revisited a major trauma and gave my inner child a major pep talk in that memory. When I tried it out again in this recording I was kind of afraid of where I'd go, but the inner child was a toddler, I guess who I was before I walled off my emotions from adolescence to adulthood. And he was a stoic little kid like wise beyond his years. Ended up giving me a pep talk, haha. That little man had more confidence in me than I did.
Oh my god this was so powerful. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. My childhood was filled with trauma, abuse, and bad experiences, but my inner child told me to move on. I can’t stop sobbing, I’m so moved and I know now it’s not my fault. Thank you so much Michael. I’m finally free.
Omg! This is the first time I've ever cried during a meditation. My inner child was so clear to me. She just wanted to feel safe to be herself and be a kid. She didn't feel safe because she lacked trust in quite a few adults which made her super independent really early in life. She just wanted to know if I would leave her too and why is she always scared because she was tired from being scared all the time. Overall, her eyes lit up and she is soooo full of life and curiosity. I'll visit her often❤ She needs me and I damn sure need her!
This is unbelievable. I was scared to try but I feel so good now. On the first stage I went to the young me, when I was 12 and my grandpa died, I was scared and I didn’t want to stay there, so I moved to when I was 4. I met my self and I was hugging her so much, she was so lonely and she needed me so much. We had a chat, at one point I didn’t want to leave her alone and she didn’t want to leave me too, but I used my conscious and I say that I can’t stay block there. It was so helpful, I strongly recommend
I have never meditated before today. This was a hugely emotional experience for me, it brought back memories of being a young child at school, on the playground. I cried several times during this audio but it felt good and necessary. I was able to connect to my inner child and give her the love she was craving and needed. It was both a physical and mental experience for me, at the end I started to feel uncomfortable, a heavyness made me feel trapped but I pushed through it and when I opened my eyes I felt like Ive eased a pain that I've been carrying with me for years. Thank you Michael. I cant express my gratitude for this video enough.
This was soo emotional for me Too emotional that I had to leave her. I had to leave even when she begged I stay. I’ll go get her when ready. Thanks for this video ❤
Wow after 25 years I was able to see my 5 year old inner child still in the room sobbing after his grandmother died the only person that He feel secure and loved by.knowing he’s about to moved in with a drunken abusive dad.thank you so much for this I was able to comfort him make him smile and hold his and told him it’s time to moved forward together
woahhhh this was so crazy like i hugged my inner child so bad and i think she just wants to feel loved and secured... shes tired but i told her i loved her and shes a good child♥️
I didn’t know what to expect going into this, but it felt like a very healing experience. I started crying uncontrollably when I saw my inner child and kept telling her that she didn’t deserve all the things she went through. She reminded me about what my dreams were when I was a kid and told me to make them come true.
I found myself sobbing uncontrollably when the gift my inner child put into my hand was the knowledge that my best is good enough. The scene I had visited was the pivotal moment that cemented the belief that no matter how hard I worked, it would not be good. This fear of failure has held me back throughout my life and such a shame as I could have been so dynamic. Hopefully, I will have enough time left to do something wonderful, after all. Thank you so much, Michael xox
2 forms of my inner child showed up. One from when I was about 11 or 12. Another when I was about 6 or 7. Both times when I experienced trauma. The younger child didn’t speak much, I asked her questions but she just shyly smiled and didn’t answer. The older child was the one making direct contact with me, allowing me to hold her hand. I kept telling her it wasn’t their fault. Nothing that happened was her fault, she couldn’t change or control anything. She did what she could, she handled it the only way she knew how- alone. She said all she needed was a friend, she wanted to feel understood and less alone. I said I am that for, I’ll always be there and I understood everything she went through.
I was a bit hesitant upon trying this. I was afraid of what feelings would be brought to surface. Thank you for creating this guided meditation peace. Getting into my zone during meditation was difficult for me. The detail in the promptings helped to create such serene images in my mind. One moment I was floating along a stream of water, over a mountain then suddenly, I was getting introduced to my inner child. It was blissful This is the first time I focused on inner child work. LONG OVERDUE. I was able to see her in three different stages. Infant, 6 yrs old and a little older. She was so wise for her age. So innocent and disregarded. Her eyes were so prominent. So eager. So intriguing. So light. We hugged and it was so warm. I kissed and squeezed her. She was so proud of adult me. She couldn’t believe how far we have come! She helped me understand how those important events in my life influenced my behaviors and relationships cycles. She told me to be strong and thrive! I will definitely be doing more child inner work! Don’t let the length of the meditation intimidate you. I couldn’t believe I made it till the end!
when i talked to my inner child she was distressed, confused and wounded i can’t explain the hurt in her eyes and she expressed that she just felt so hurt and powerless when i asked her what she wanted from me she wants me too love me to her, that i was worth it. she had big kind eyes, dark glossy hair and a small cute nose. above all she had the most innocent and pure feeling i have ever encountered.
I’ve literally never cried so many tears, than in this moment. But this relieved me in so many ways. I feel like I’m finally set free from my own subconscious mind 🙏🏼
You know I must say that ever since I started these I have been getting better sleep, my dreams aren't random but continuous with the story and they always tend to be a feel good dream. Also, I have been wanting to do more for myself and have more confidence to walk out in public and meet people. This is all naturally happening. I was a sceptic about it all, but after one week I feel so much better in life. I am hooked. I don't do it every night but maybe 3-4 times a full week. Thank you!!! ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️🤗
Totally broke me meeting that guy we talked so much and I hugged him I love him so much and he was kind to me and told me I'm all right and everything is fine and I told him things will work out and you will make it you just got to stay stay strong buddy. Only people I felt that much love in my life are my own children. I don't cry apart from when love ones die. But I'm a blubbering mess and it feels good to know I'm no heartless after all 💕💕
This answered so much for me! I cried and met my 6 year old self, she was scared because she had just been punched in the face by this little boy who supposedly liked me and abused me that year. This was powerful because I rarely think of that year and what happened. It even answered why I'm afraid to sit inside near the window on a bus. I comforted her and told her not to be afraid anymore and that she was loved. I left her in my childhood home when life was safe and grandma always made brownies.
So beautiful. I too experienced something similar and was hit in the face with a kickball so hard to this day I freeze inside thinking of how inadequate and alone I felt at that moment. I wish I can give that girl the biggest hug and yell at that boy that hurt her. You are so loved ❤️❤️
I fell asleep while listening - praise the gift of blessed sleep, so rare and mighty - and today I am a different person. I am not consciously aware of exactly what occurred in my mind last night, but I am endlessly grateful. If I had riches to share, I would pour them upon you in my gratitude. May this new me continue on, and may you find your truest need
Thank you so much for this, I cried a lot while meeting my inner child.I have gone trough a lot growing up,it is so sad to watch all my childhood memories coming to life through memories😭 I didn't expect it will be this powerful for me. I cried like a baby reminiscing all good and bad memories that happened to me trough the years,I am proud of my inner child foe overcoming all thise obstacles and for having gone this far in life. I AM PROUD OF MY INNERSELF FOR BEING SO RESILIENT AND BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE COURAGE AND DETERMINATION TO CHANGE MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE TROUGH THE YEARS.thank you so much for this😘 i feel so much better now😊
I was close to tears after I saw how happy my past (inner child) is. I found myself pleading and telling him my sorry for what will be his future. Thank you Michael. This 48 minute video has a really great impact in my life right now. And as I promise to him, i'll be better.
Wow wow wow wow wow ..... I had a massive break through. My inner child was 3 maybe it was a real memory. I cried and said I'm so sorry I let you down and I had this rush of realisations about what started my addiction and toxic cycle and I was not what I thought it was. Thank you so much for making this video 🙏
Doing this meditation, meeting that inner child, immediately hugging her and just apologizing to her for the harm I’d done to her , telling her she didn’t deserve it, I started crying in the middle of it. She told me to revive my happiness . I feel a little bit lighter after this meditation , I need to speak with her more
Oooooooooooooomg. I don't even have words, this was so amazing a much needed and wonderful experience... I understand a lot of why I always feel stuck in different situations and fearful of saying NO... My younger self has been stuck in the bathroom of my childhood home in Texas waiting for my mother to save me and protect me which never happened😪 Thank you for this experience.
What an amazing journey. My inner child gave me a periwinkle flower but it was her heart. I’ve taken it with me so she can’t feel the pain anymore, I have set her free into the river that is inside me and us. She’s much happier being here with me. If you are suffering from the effects of childhood abuse I really do recommend this video. It was very emotional but healing.
I met my inner child at Christmas time when she was about 6 and transfixed by some little angels that were made so fly in circles and jingle when you lit a candle. She was a sad and scared little girl but she was innocently alive to the simple magic of Christmas. She handed me a crystal bell made from a tear, to remind me that grief and magic can exist together. Thank you for the delicate way that you lead this hypnosis Michael.
This really work for me as I suffer from depression . When I met my inner child I was crying because I saw me as a Little girl happy and running around smiling not knowing the pain and emotional I was going through as a grown adult my gift really got to me as its something I cherished and carried around with me when I was a little girl . 😭😭😭
I'm revisiting this video because last time I did this hypnosis I was on psychedelics and I'm back on it looking through Michael's video looking for what I want to unblock, heal, etc. Last time, Michael's hypnosis guided me perfectly, I went deeper and deeper into my mind and seen my inner child in a broom closet...crying in the corner, scared, left alone. The same way I'm perceiving this reality is how I was in my mind and it hit me so hard. I was bawling in my bed, sheets were soaked, I couldn't believe how I'd neglected myself That's when I realized I didn't love myself as much as I thought. I also realized that I felt like a parent and then I thought that real parents are just raising themselves (I don't have kids) I remember Michael wrapping it up and saying I had to go and I did NOT want to leave, it felt like I was taken away from my real child but I understood I couldn't be there forever, it was an experience I'll never forget. Thanks Michael for giving me the opportunity to meet my inner self 🙏🏼
i fell asleep watching this. somewhere around the end i woke up to a noise in my surroundings and realized i was dreaming of my childhood dog who ran away and i always thought it was my fault. suddenly all kinds of memories from that time came up. crazy how the subconscious works
I have been that road now several times, first it was all dark, second I stopped my little self from becoming dark, third I did it agiain, now 10 times later, I can see my little self beeing happy and I realise why. Thank you, I really had forgotten.
Man, my 10 year old self and I just sat in my childhood bedroom and she told me about how much she liked music and the shows she watched. She told me all about her favorites. I have her the biggest hug and realized I just wanted someone to listen when I was younger. I was skeptical at first don’t get me wrong, but I’ve smiled (and cried a bit) this was very healing. Thank you for this video
Once I got in touch with my innocent and loving inner child my world turned into a gift, a gift that I had been searching for all of my life, and I will not let go off of it again. Embraced with my inner child I went to sleep. I am never letting go off of my innocent inner child-self again. I am filled with gratitude. 🙏❤️🌈
i don't know if i was doing it wrongly but i ended up being in child like state in my adult form whilst my inner child expected nothing from me , instead she was comforting me, telling me to " to love everyone no matter what they do, have no fear because we are born to love " and it was radiating the feeling of grace and love, i was on my knees not asking for what i can do but i was at her grace. i have never understood the concept of love nor taught what love was or supposed to feel but what she radiated felt so whole, like the universe. it left me with a message " we are god, we are all a part of him " and it left me with a gift of love & grace to let the people around me feel better. im not a religious person in anyway so im quite taken aback.
wow amazing, my inner child said i trust you, now we together we can do it... and i said ill be there always for you.... this learns me dont let yourself down, be there for youre inner child! dont be hard to youre self, but just be there!
Hi Michael, thank you for this meditation video. My inner child was fpund so sad and broken. The physical and emotional abuse she endured for so many year by her father made her this way. Thank you for teaching me how to reach out to her and show her true love, this was something that I needed to do but simply didnt know how. Once again, thank you!
I feel asleep twice only to wake up to my inner child in my mind and his voice guiding me. I said my sorry, I gave him a hug, told him I'm here for him whenever he needs me but I'll do whatever he needs me to do to make sure we fully embrace the world together..
You have helped me So much!! I have bipolar disorder and sometimes I have the lowest of lows. After a year of taking medications, I realized that they were not helping me improve. I began a journey of "self medication" by doing things that release endorphins in the brain as medicine would. I know it could be dangerous, and it does get really hard sometimes. I do things like keeping a journal, coloring, visiting new places, reading, and most of all these videos. I really appreciate what you've done. I was skeptical at first thinking I was just sleepy already and your voice put me to sleep...that is not the case at all. I can go in the middle of the day, wide awake, listen to these videos, and before I know it, I'm waking up feeling refreshed and better about myself and my situation. At this moment I am feeling a high level of anxiety and Depression and I have no reason to feel this way. I know that when I listen to this video I will feel 100% better. Just want to say thank you!!
+Maygan Motley You're welcome, I'm glad you are finding yourself feeling better and refreshed with your self hypnosis work. One's decision for medication, of course, is always between the individual and his or her doctor. Self directed hypnotherapy work, though, can often be beneficial in either case. I hope you continue to feel better in all ways now and ahead. Peace.
You are amazing. I thought this wouldn't work because I overthink. It took me a bit to get relaxed but when I did I felt safe and warm. Ny inner child was really sweet. She sat down with a smile on her face the whole time. I miss her already. I love her too. Thankyou very much ♡♡
recently diagnosed with ASD, absent parents, PTSD and anxiety from very young age. I'm taking therapy and while i accepted myself and progresses lots with anxiety, still felt i had issues from all the unmet needs from my childhood and at therapy we started trying meeting and getting my inner child to heal but this kind of audio helps lots.
WOW. What an amazing experience! I was able to go back to points in my childhood I forgot completely about and connect with my inner child. I cried for the first time in a long time. It felt amazing, and the negative energy that has been weighing heavy on me has been lifted. I feel lighter! Thank you!
my inner child told me she wanted to me to show up for myself as dedicated as i show up for others and honestly it’s the best advice ever. she was so proud of the life i have lived and how strong i am nd have always been and how she actually loves the stories i have to tell abt her life from the future.
I used to joke about embracing "The inner Child." I was completely and utterly wrong, followed this session and it was amazing! Tears and Joy just because I know NLP and CBT does mean I can do this magic myself, Thank You for this recording!!!
When you said think of your inner child. First it went kinda negative (memories) then I got like a warm but bright star of light which morphed into like, 5yr old me wearing my “🙂/😜” (shifting pic) shirt. I visualized it all right before you prompted it. Climbing these really cool trees, feeing care free. Then the questions and affirmations. She needed to hear that. I don’t think she got much as a kid. A hug and all that. I think it’s been quite a few years since I’ve fully embraced a child like glee over something and that’s something I should be fostering.
i can't really picture anything visual in my head, but this was very easy for me to at least know (in my mind) where i was going and what i was doing. i was able to meet my inner child. They were crying because they hit puberty and didn't understand why they had to change and start being something that they weren't, and couldn't understand why. I told them that our parents will never understand, but things will get easier and harder, but you will look back and love your childhood. There are things i wish i could change, and things i wouldn't change for the world. But something that i told them and they told me was that I am unconditionally loved and i am completely and utterly accepted for who we are. I tucked them into bed, red them a story, and then came back to my conscious body. I've always had that memory and it is monumental in my life, but i thought it was just traumatic. I realize now it was so much more and it was my inner child trying to connect with me and tell me everything i needed to hear. i can't wait to meet them more and start to heal us both from our troubles. this honestly made me want to stay alive for them. i want to give them the life we've always dreamed of, and for us to show the world that we are not weird, we are not confused, and we are completely accepted and loved. if not by anyone but ourself. thank you!
Wow I didn't think this would do anything but I saw myself as a 7 year old girl. She told me that its ok things didn't go as planned. I had such dreams when i was little and as an adult feel like it has been failure after failure. But she told me it's okay.
It's ok because it's never too late. Follow your heart. Fulfill your dreams. There is no age restriction. Your worth it. How lucky are you to remember you childhood ambitions most have buried them and are no longer connected to they soul. Knowing is the hardest part. You know. Allow it to flow. Enjoy the journey. ♥️
This one gets me. Unlike some people here, I never experienced anything too traumatic. But I too sometimes can't help but feel like I could be doing so much better than this mediocre existence. Sometimes I feel like if my young self were to meet me then he'd be disappointed with how things turned out. ...But if I'm being perfectly honest he'd probably just give me a hug and want to talk about it, and then maybe play some games together. Even though we've grown and changed over the years, we used to feel that way once, think that way once. It wasn't another person. Those memories and experiences are still a part of who we are today. So instead of looking back and yearning for bygone times, we can simply create what we want for the future. I know it's not easy, hardly anything worthwhile ever is. Truthfully I haven't listened to this video myself yet, but it's something I've thought about previously. Maybe I should give it a go. I hope you're doing well today too. Be kind to yourself.
This made me cry. It was a good cry though, something I really needed. I've never mediated so this was a very new experience to me. A quite emotional one at that. I will definitely be meditating more. Especially if it brings me one with myself.
Unlike some of the people here, I never even had a majorly traumatic experience in childhood, but I still cried profusely in this one. After the 'meeting' took place I could scarcely hear your voice anymore because I was so focused on our internal interactions. For such a long time I've always been afraid that I let him down, that I failed somehow. I've never made it a secret that I loved him, and I've always reassured him that I haven't changed, that I haven't betrayed what he felt was important. I never expected him to hug and comfort me back... that he doesn't want me to feel this way, that he knows I must have been through my fair share, that he "forgives" me if that's what I want but he just wants me to be happy. That really caught me off guard. Though if I think about it, it probably shouldn't... I was always the kid who would talk to teachers after class, or who would extend a sympathetic ear to a friend going through a rough patch, or even counselled my father after he accidentally killed someone during a road traffic accident. It shouldn't be a surprise that he'd be the same way towards me too, but still. He had such bright eyes. We cried it out together for a while, then played some games together. He'd definitely know it was me after that, since he was always the best back then, haha. All I wanted was a challenge! But more than that, someone to relate to, and someone who genuinely wanted to play with him. That hasn't changed a bit, so even if it's just inner work, I do want to do something like this again. I know I still have some issues there, even if I can't quite articulate them. Thanks for this.
I wasn't expecting to see a very young version of myself, she was barely 5 and I couldn't believe she was the one in pain. She was literally smiling through the pain when she saw me. She thought she was never loved and the family she grew up with was only taking care of her because it would be morally wrong to abandon a child. She thought her mom never loved her in the first place and her dad only pitied her because her mom don't love her.
“Don’t be afraid of darkness. Because you overcame darkness. You didn’t become it.” - My Inner Child I could see a picture of my 8-9 year old self and then it jumped to when I was in high school, permed damaged hair and my striped shirt I wore for picture day in middle school. My inner child looked so dark and monstrous, didn’t have any eyes and had absorbed all the energy from abusive family members, in the end she became purified and became this beautiful light being and started walking across a bridge and I woke out of this trance feeling so much stronger and less… fragile. My child alter you are loved and safe now. Thank you for absorbing all the pain and suffering and protecting my heart, you are now free.
This is very helpful for me. I listened several times and could not stay awake for the life of me. I would wake up at the end and realize that it was all done and I had spent 30 minutes asleep. After several times, I was able to stay awake and follow the hypnosis. What a great feeling it brought me. I realized how many terrific experiences I have had, and was able to hold onto those, rather than holding on to the negative experiences. Thanks Michael!
Really glad I found your channel. Just did this and plan to do 1-2 per day. I do believe in hypnosis, and I'm surprised it isn't more popular in today's day and age. I like hypnotherapy because at the very least I feel like I'm getting the benefits of meditation, along with the positive messages I'm usually not able to think up myself. I found your channel searching for social anxiety hypnosis. Social anxiety and depression are really preventing me from living the life I want. I will continue to listen and have faith your tapes can change my thought process!
I got a lot of childhood trauma but I didn’t know I had that much of heavy trauma. I started crying and couldn’t stop at first. I saw everything so vivid as If I would relive that trauma. I saw my inner child and showed it all my love. this Mediation helped me a lot thank you so much
Saved this to try again. I had a traumatic childhood, much of which I've blocked out. I know my path to true healing is validating that inner child but my first attempt made me so anxious. I listened through but my mind resisted the process though there were moments so I know it's going to work. I love all your hypnosis videos, they always work for me. But this one may take awhile. Thank you for posting this!
Wow. That was amazing. I was so scared to do it and really didn’t want to. I had a voice in my head telling me it needed to be perfect. I cried when I met my inner child. I’m still crying now. I thought she would be sad but she was so nice and sweet and playful and she told me to have fun. She told me I don’t need to be perfect I just need to explore. This was so helpful to me. I highly recommend.
@@Deondra0525 I did it during the middle of the day. I had some crystals around me and set intentions of protection and release. I knew it was going to challenging because I have traumas to face and don’t like revisiting the past but it really was cleansing. Prepare for a well of emotions. I wouldn’t have been able to sleep after I finished but try it out!
I have so many words but also none at the same time. The insane amount of love I have for my inner child is so powerful. I feel again. I don’t cry but I woke streaming. So thank you. I’ll be doing more work on this can’t wait to see him again and I’ve never felt such a surge of emotion.
I did this last night and the moment I met my inner child, I just couldn't stop saying ‘I am sorry’ to her while sobbing profusely for no reason and then when I asked her what does she want, she answered- “ I just want to live. I don't even want to be happy. I just don't want you to kill me.”
Thank you, Michael.
How does it feel? What exactly happens when you meet your inner child
😓
Wow!... that was deep. Good job inner child for your perception. I used to not want to live unless I was happy.
Dont jealosus and dont feel insecured of all
You and me doing the same things. Many prayers and much love 🙏💗. You Matter
Thank you very much for this Michael! As a child, I was such an adventurous, carefree and openly loving person, even to the point that some bad people took advantage of it. As I grew, I became distant, afraid of making decisions, afraid of disappointing everyone. I talked to my inner child, and she told me “have no fear. Take the path no one else dare to do so, just like how you go on adventures as a chid, without fearing anyone or any place.” Then at the end, she gave me a heart-shaped crystal and I cried.
Lilly Girl ♥️
How's your life been going since? How are you? Big hug 😍
Beautiful and I can totally relate.. ❤️
thats so nice!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💖
PTSD and panic disorder from my childhood. This is very healing yet I'm sitting here sobbing. I'm angry because I have to fix what they broke!!!! 😢
That's exactly how I feel! Hope you're doing and feeling better ❤
Same here!!! sobbing terribly while telling my inner child how sorry I am for all the bad she had to overcome.
‘They’ didn’t break ANYTHING- this is your key if you understand it right
Anger is a normal PART of the journey; let it strengthen your determination to protect your inner child -- and others -- from neglect and abuse. Without anger, you can succumb to validating and further internalizing the abuse. By practicing compassion for ourselves and others we erode the toxic deposits of the past.
Yes I sobbed too. I didn’t feel angry this journey, just sad. Maybe I haven’t met my angry inner child yet.
And just like that a heavy negative energic block has been released and healed. I honestly cried during this. Very powerful stuff.
I cryed a lot to9
I love when a meditation touches you emotionally to that point! It's very liberating, like letting a storm out of your soul.
me too... so powerfull
I was mentally abused as a child, this has definitely crossed over into my adult life, I always feel less than or dumb even though I know that I am not. Hopefully this will help heal. Peace and love to all, may we all find the healing we need
Did you guys just do it the once ? I did it last night and it was amazing tons of healing energy in that 45 minutes
Love to all 🙏
I hugged my inner child and told her she's loved and worthy of respect and that she's brave... and that I love her very much...
Me too❤

Me too x
I did the same thing too. I told her multiple times I love her so much and it’s okay to be different. She needed a lot of buildup to become a emotionally healthy person. And I always gave her a hug.
When I saw my 5 year old self I embraced her and then kissed her on her forehead. When I was leaving she gave me a hug and kissed me on my forehead and said “visit me more” and then smiled. I literally bawled my eyes out during this. Thank you 💜💫✨
This comment made me cry 🥺❤️
Awwwwww
I’m so glad I found this. The last ten days I’ve been in childhood trauma mode. She’s been begging for help. All the horrible memories I’ve remember all the time and new ones came up.
This first play through i fell asleep ten minutes in and woke up exactly when he said to turn it off if you’re going to sleep. I did. A couple hours later I woke up and tried again. This time all the good memories I had at that age started going by until I found her on the bed alone, abandoned and crying. I was sobbing. The way I spent all my nights as a child. I just cradled her and comforted her and told her how much I loved her and I was so sorry. She didn’t want to be alone anymore, I told her it wasn’t her fault and she’s not bad. I told her that she can be whoever she wants to be and I’m here for her. As I was saying goodbye she put her hands on my cheeks and said, “I love you” I took this memory and put it into my chest and now I feel she’s here. I feel she doesn’t feel she’s alone anymore.
I’m supposed to start EMDR with my therapist soon but because I’m ADHD/Autistic as well I thought I should start practising since My brains resistant and I’m so happy I found this. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
I realize that by hurting myself and putting myself down I’m invalidating everything she went through. She was brave and strong and she doesn’t deserve anymore pain, she deserves freedom and happiness and above all, to be loved.
Wow. I have been reading through all these comments, but when I cam across yours I just started to cry. I read the next one and came back to yours again and I just started crying more. It really hit me.
Thats really beautiful, and i relate to much in common, thankyou for sharing. 💝
Hi I have adhd too. What do you mean when you say your brain is resistant? I found this really difficult. I couldn't visualise my inner child or sense any strong memories. I felt very detached from the experience. I'm glad this was really helpful and meaningful for you. ❤
never tought that this will bring me that far. my inner child told me that i was jealous of my younger brother. we are only 2 years apart. he got more attention than me. i told my younger self "it is ok. you do not need those attentions. just focus on yourself and you will grow up making your parents proud."
I’m a teenager healing my inner child because I noticed I can’t even cry from a lot of emotional pain and I think me and them are now on the right track I even was able to cry a few held in tears with them right now it felt so amazing I’ve also promised them we’ll experience every memory we can think of together to heal
It’s good that you’re healing before adulthood I wish I would have known as a teenager that I needed healing unfortunately drs had me on prescription medication and my home life sucked it was very toxic I went through a lot of bs in my early 20s with family and I’m 29 this year I’ve finally let go I feel cleansed of all the drama and I’m back to me now!!
You too huh,I’m glad we’re able to realize this and try to heal ourselves while our brain is still developing so these habits can stick, I’m 16 and seeing back on my life all my anxiety and found and beliefs have been brought on me by other people and I’m currently trying to fix these things, my biggest problem is self trust, it feels like all my life all the big moments and decisions I let other people take instead of going for it on my own. But the point of this comment wasn’t about me, it was to tell you your doing an amazing job and your not alone, keep it up bro we gon beat this😤💪
@@pkhe279 one thing i wish i could tell myself is that my 16 yo self was still part of my inner child. Take care of you now as well. Your inner teen (now) needs you
Teen here. Recently found out about how to heal your inner child and it’s something i desperately needed. I wasn’t sure if feeling your inner child as a teen would work but seeing this comment is reassuring. thank you
W,w yup!b!
My inner child was so clear once the hypnosis began, always as her eager self. She told me “I want to have fun again” ….. I immediately interpreted this as I need to enjoy life more and stop taking life so serious. Tears constantly rolled down my face this entire time. Really needed this 💗
Did this twice so far, both times started out relaxed but while dealing with my inner child was clenching muscles. Both times realized this stress and let them relax, it seemed like releasing some pressure. I explained to my younger self that other children were mean and jealous. That his differences made him special and unique and he would be appreciated for this as he grew. That he was not ugly, his skin tone was attractive. He could be loved just the way he was, that his being different and sensitive was amazing and that he could take pride in himself. He didn’t need to change or be something more, he already was good enough. I loved him and that’s all he needed, we could do this together without proving anything to anyone else.
I was dealing with lot of self worth, acceptance issues - but never understood the patterns, these emotions of acceptance and worth were suppressed ..i thought i am doing good but when i was kept in certain situations by life there were this emotions of lack, insecurity, acceptance, self-worth coimg up.
Well , through this inner child healing meditation and journaling i got to understand what memories from my childhood lead to this patterns.. thank you so much ...on my beautiful journey to heal myself ❤
I suffer from borderline personality disorder due to my childhood and this really helped me. Thank you so so much!!!
+Miss Tinks You're welcome, glad to know it is of help to you.
+Miss Tinks
I have just discovered Michael's site and through this meditation experienced one of most empowering affirmations that life is worth living and that I am worthy. I am also borderline and this released a lot of trauma for me. I plan on doing more of his meditations. Bless you,
Betty
I suffer with BPD. .. Here goes most of my insecurities and self destructive behaviour.....👊
Girl same!!! Here for healing as well 💕 I’m with you on this journey!
I appreciate your comment because I too have BPD, and I was wondering if this content would be healing or detrimental. I've done a lot of "shadow work" in the past 4 years, but I'm always apprehensive of what I haven't yet healed. Thanks for speaking up about how this content impacts BPD. I'll give this a listen. Namaste. 🦋
My child self told me to still do the things I love without fear or anxiety. Pick up a book and read more, paint like we used to. It also told me to love myself more and stop hating myself so much.
I told her I was sorry I couldn’t protect her from so much pain but I loved her and am still learning to love my adult self
I honestly doubted myself. But I was actually able to go back to my 13 year old self. I screamed, cried so hard I thought I was going to bust a blood vessel in my eyes and I threw up twice. I knew I needed a deep release and I got it! I will be doing this again to continue healing from my childhood trauma. I feel so much better!!! I’m so extremely grateful for this video!!
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but this was an experience. I genuinely had no idea I was capable of this. I visited my childhood home and saw my younger self, my parents and my little sister, even all my cats I used to have. I spoke with my younger self. I need so desperately to be loved, and to be able to trust in love, after going through such abandonment and trauma for years from a young age. Thank you for this video. I feel so enlightened, like there is something worth trying for now. Myself.
Love and hugs ❤️
I cant believe your well made videos are for free!! what a time to be alive we're truly lucky
I saw my inner child, inner teenager, and inner past adult self for the very first time. When they appeared to me that looked horrible but as I talked to them as you was telling me too I seen them starting to form into a happier healthier version of themselves and then they showed me doors that they were in that were full of bad things and I told them I promise to protect and filled it with our favorite things which is a bed of brightly fresh colored flowers before I left and they was happy. Thank you so much for this experience! It was much needed!
I am speechless. I met my inner child, 2-year-old me outside the hospital where I had my heart surgery at the same age. That child looked angry at first, but then I realized that she was actually in pain and scared.
I understand myself so much better now, I always thought I'm a person full of hate, but I just realized that it's not hate - it's fear of feeling pain or being left alone.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome, Ella.
I ran across this on accident about 2 days ago. I never paid much attention to it as I cannot remember anything extremely traumatic from my childhood.
This is funny because my childhood is full of some very painful memories, but nothing that I have let bother me as an adult.. OR SO I THOUGHT 😳
After months of different meditations that have helped, but never really felt a difference the next day, "back to my old self." Something is happening...
For 2 days now,.. I have gotten up before noon, I'm happy, and full of energy. I have to say.. whatever's going on here, is really changing my life, 1 day at a time! I'm feeling amazing! Thank you! 😁
@@burraerocha2452 this is me!!! This is my first time and I feel so emotional and not even started yet
I have ptsd from childhood abuse and sexual assault, i met my younger self but she looked like me right before the worst of it happened and while im there crying my eyes out to her she just stands there smiling at me. It just hurt to see myself like that but then she told me that she wanted to grow up to be as cool as me and see new things. She did seem all knowing in a way but to an almost apathetic extent..
This was really helpful though and it did help me proccess a few things
I was so skeptical about this meditation, over-analyzed everything I was feeling as I experienced it and expected some massive awakening. But as it went deeper, I realized the memories that immediately popped into my head that I was overlooking while I searched for my awakening WERE my awakening. The answers all lied inside my mind all along. This was truly beautiful and eye opening. Thank you for this
Yes this is the same experience I had thank you for putting it in words!
What an interesting experience, this was! It didn't quite go how I was expecting, but it went exactly as it needed to.
My inner child presented herself to me as my 12-year-old self. The best way for me to describe her is "plucky." She's curious, witty, and fun-loving. She makes me smile.
The true hypnosis had barely begun when I was brought to a memory of a camping trip that I had taken with my Grade 7 class, where I was on a canoe in a life jacket with an older male camp counsellor, far out into the lake. I couldn't swim, and this was distressing to me at the time, but they assured me that everything would be okay. Even still, I was nervous. And the camp counsellor was saying things to me that my younger self didn't understand at the time yet made me very uncomfortable - but my adult self, immediately, knew what was happening and could sense the danger. I was reliving the scene as my younger self, looking through her eyes, and I could feel her fear - OUR fear. And all I hear in my conscious mind is, "I'm not safe! I'm not safe!"
So, despite Michael's earlier instructions (it hadn't even reached the point where we could enter a memory yet), I somehow, as my adult self, went in the memory and grabbed my inner child, leading her away from that man, and we both continued listening to the meditation instructions together. I could feel her disposition changing. She, immediately, felt at peace and showed me her true nature: her plucky, curious, witty self.
As we went on, "further down", she would comment on things we were seeing, ask me questions about what was happening, and was just, genuinely, excited about this little journey we were going on. She was happy to have left that canoe on that lake.
When we arrived at the "memory bubbles" and looked on into the different scenarios playing out in each bubble, she would smile and laugh, pointing at certain ones, saying "I remember that!" But the one bubble, the one memory, I was really drawn to was the one from which she wanted to escape. I reached towards it - but she objected in a stoic manner, all smiles gone. "I don't wanna go back there," she said. But I knew I had to. There was something there that I needed to face. So off we went.
Now, I'm the one sitting across from her in the canoe. I look back into her face, and she's SO scared. Her eyes are large and filled with dread, anxiousness, and worry. Instinctively, I reach out to hold her face in my hands, stroke her hair, try to comfort her a little. I call her "sweetheart", hug her, kiss her forehead, tell her how amazing she is, how proud of her I am. I assure her, with all of my might, that nothing that has happened is her fault; she's done her very best, and I'm so proud. I tell her how much I love her, how beautiful she is. I tell her of all the challenges that she's going to overcome - and that, one day, she'll even get to sing on a stage when she's older. She looked back at me in amazement.
"You're really nice", she said to me. "You're like someone I can trust." When I asked her what message she has for me, all she said was "I love you. I feel like you don't really hear that a lot, so I wanted to tell you." Then I asked her if there's anything I can do for her? And she answered, "Don't leave me." I smiled and assured her that I never will because she's a part of me, and I'm a part of her. Strangely enough, though, she didn't recognize me as herself; she thought I was someone else, entirely. She looked at me, shocked, and said, "You're so pretty!" And I told her, "so are you. You're beautiful. Never let anyone make you believe otherwise."
When the time came for her to give me a parting gift, she gave me this character that I used to draw, called "Da Tomato." Just as the name intended, it was a stylized red tomato with wacky green hair and a big smile on his face. To her, it was a symbol of "doing whatever you want and being happy." I then asked her what I can do, right now, in my adult life to be happy. And she looked at me, confused. "Why are you asking ME that?" Like, why would an adult need to ask a child about how to be happy? Shouldn't they already know? She then shrugged and added, nonchalantly, "Just be happy."
When it was time to leave, and as I saw her walking back to the rest of her fellow campers, I quickly called back to her: "Tell the other counsellors what that man said to you!" I hope she heard.
It was almost like she was waiting for me to rescue her. And in a way, I think I did. Thank you so much for this, Michael. It was extremely enlightening.
this comment made me sob.
i couldn’t get through even ten minutes of the video because it was too hard to face that part of my life and how i felt. when i read your comment and where you said to your inner child “nothing that happened to you was your fault,” i started crying so hard and i didn’t even understand why. thank you.
Goosebumps, is all I can say. 🥺
I cried the whole time. Yet I couldn't read fast enough so I could my little girl. Good luck to you both. I've been reading from older wiser women. To talk to her. I hope I can find her ❤️
this definitely made me tear up
That was beautiful.
This was my very first hypnosis experience. I remember being scared so I recorded myself. This made me cry and ushered the beginning of my healing journey. It has been over 4 years now. Thank you, Michael.
This was my first experience too. I have been really afraid of hypnosis until today. I am really glad to have done this and I feel positive about embracing and revisiting my beautiful, little girl. Cheers!
@@juliemcdonald1245 That's awesome! I'm glad to know about your positive experience with hypnosis.
I actually did this again a month ago, and I was amazed at how different the scenario was. The first time I did it I still have a lot of baggage and grudges. My precious inner child is now in a better place. Michael has been an angel in my healing journey. And the healing continues.
Cheers!
I weeped like a new born🙏🏼
I've never experienced anything like this and I've learned something or rather something was unblocked during this that I can't ignore because I have to be there for that little girl and for that teenager.
So happy for u👏👏
Tears and tears just shed. I’m just amazed I could see my inner child and telling me to stay strong and love myself more. This is incredible. Thank you. I still feel like bursting into pro-founding tears after this
This was absolutely amazing. I feel as if I was right in between being awake and asleep. I saw me as a child, so happy carefree and full of love. I feel as if my batteries were re charged. Thank you for this experience
My inner child was so sad. I hope things are better now. Thank you!
+Nikki Jonczak You're welcome, time can heal many things. Peace.
I just met my younger self in my old nurses office/ safely blanket. At my elementary school and she was drawing at the old little desk and she gave me a pencil as her gift. And now I remember it’s art, I need to get back to. It’s always been there for me when words weren’t. And the scene was so vivid, I didn’t know I even remember that much of the old school since they tore it down after my first grade year. Thank you. More than you know, thank you.
My Mum just passed away aged 85. I revisited myself when I was 3, a particular day that I remember vividly, that I got a tingling rush through my body and said in my mind, I feel so good right now! Words to that affect. Towards the end of the meditation I went into the kitchen with 3 year old me and cuddled Mum, who was at the sink doing the dishes. She knew exactly who I was even though I was 10 years older than her. It was so beautiful and healing. She called Dad out of the bedroom and we all cuddled together with the biggest smiles. I feel really good right now. Thank you Michael! I have been using your meditations for 5 years now. Life saving and now life changing. And yes tears rolled down my cheeks. A single tear from each eye.
I have done several meditations to heal my inner child, and usually it is me who comforts her, tells her everything is OK and that she's safe now, but I experienced something different this time: it was my inner child who hugged and comforted me. She had to go through so much, and as an adult, looking back on all of it now, I cannot believe how strong and brave she was. She survived when most adults would have just given up. I am so proud of her and of the woman I have become! And my inner child feels she can trust me for I am honoring her life and dreams every day ⭐🌙
I did one of these a couple weeks ago, a social anxiety one w/ a regression; revisited a major trauma and gave my inner child a major pep talk in that memory. When I tried it out again in this recording I was kind of afraid of where I'd go, but the inner child was a toddler, I guess who I was before I walled off my emotions from adolescence to adulthood. And he was a stoic little kid like wise beyond his years. Ended up giving me a pep talk, haha. That little man had more confidence in me than I did.
Oh my god this was so powerful. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. My childhood was filled with trauma, abuse, and bad experiences, but my inner child told me to move on. I can’t stop sobbing, I’m so moved and I know now it’s not my fault. Thank you so much Michael. I’m finally free.
Omg! This is the first time I've ever cried during a meditation.
My inner child was so clear to me. She just wanted to feel safe to be herself and be a kid. She didn't feel safe because she lacked trust in quite a few adults which made her super independent really early in life. She just wanted to know if I would leave her too and why is she always scared because she was tired from being scared all the time. Overall, her eyes lit up and she is soooo full of life and curiosity.
I'll visit her often❤ She needs me and I damn sure need her!
This is unbelievable. I was scared to try but I feel so good now. On the first stage I went to the young me, when I was 12 and my grandpa died, I was scared and I didn’t want to stay there, so I moved to when I was 4. I met my self and I was hugging her so much, she was so lonely and she needed me so much. We had a chat, at one point I didn’t want to leave her alone and she didn’t want to leave me too, but I used my conscious and I say that I can’t stay block there. It was so helpful, I strongly recommend
I have never meditated before today. This was a hugely emotional experience for me, it brought back memories of being a young child at school, on the playground. I cried several times during this audio but it felt good and necessary. I was able to connect to my inner child and give her the love she was craving and needed. It was both a physical and mental experience for me, at the end I started to feel uncomfortable, a heavyness made me feel trapped but I pushed through it and when I opened my eyes I felt like Ive eased a pain that I've been carrying with me for years. Thank you Michael. I cant express my gratitude for this video enough.
This was soo emotional for me
Too emotional that I had to leave her. I had to leave even when she begged I stay. I’ll go get her when ready.
Thanks for this video ❤
you need your protector with you to visit her.
Wow after 25 years I was able to see my 5 year old inner child still in the room sobbing after his grandmother died the only person that He feel secure and loved by.knowing he’s about to moved in with a drunken abusive dad.thank you so much for this I was able to comfort him make him smile and hold his and told him it’s time to moved forward together
woahhhh this was so crazy like i hugged my inner child so bad and i think she just wants to feel loved and secured... shes tired but i told her i loved her and shes a good child♥️
I didn’t know what to expect going into this, but it felt like a very healing experience. I started crying uncontrollably when I saw my inner child and kept telling her that she didn’t deserve all the things she went through. She reminded me about what my dreams were when I was a kid and told me to make them come true.
I found myself sobbing uncontrollably when the gift my inner child put into my hand was the knowledge that my best is good enough. The scene I had visited was the pivotal moment that cemented the belief that no matter how hard I worked, it would not be good. This fear of failure has held me back throughout my life and such a shame as I could have been so dynamic. Hopefully, I will have enough time left to do something wonderful, after all. Thank you so much, Michael xox
2 forms of my inner child showed up. One from when I was about 11 or 12. Another when I was about 6 or 7. Both times when I experienced trauma. The younger child didn’t speak much, I asked her questions but she just shyly smiled and didn’t answer. The older child was the one making direct contact with me, allowing me to hold her hand. I kept telling her it wasn’t their fault. Nothing that happened was her fault, she couldn’t change or control anything. She did what she could, she handled it the only way she knew how- alone. She said all she needed was a friend, she wanted to feel understood and less alone. I said I am that for, I’ll always be there and I understood everything she went through.
noah fence this is powerful. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽❤️💙
I was a bit hesitant upon trying this. I was afraid of what feelings would be brought to surface. Thank you for creating this guided meditation peace. Getting into my zone during meditation was difficult for me. The detail in the promptings helped to create such serene images in my mind. One moment I was floating along a stream of water, over a mountain then suddenly, I was getting introduced to my inner child. It was blissful
This is the first time I focused on inner child work. LONG OVERDUE. I was able to see her in three different stages. Infant, 6 yrs old and a little older. She was so wise for her age. So innocent and disregarded. Her eyes were so prominent. So eager. So intriguing. So light. We hugged and it was so warm. I kissed and squeezed her. She was so proud of adult me. She couldn’t believe how far we have come! She helped me understand how those important events in my life influenced my behaviors and relationships cycles. She told me to be strong and thrive! I will definitely be doing more child inner work!
Don’t let the length of the meditation intimidate you. I couldn’t believe I made it till the end!
when i talked to my inner child she was distressed, confused and wounded i can’t explain the hurt in her eyes and she expressed that she just felt so hurt and powerless when i asked her what she wanted from me she wants me too love me to her, that i was worth it. she had big kind eyes, dark glossy hair and a small cute nose. above all she had the most innocent and pure feeling i have ever encountered.
I’ve literally never cried so many tears, than in this moment. But this relieved me in so many ways. I feel like I’m finally set free from my own subconscious mind 🙏🏼
You know I must say that ever since I started these I have been getting better sleep, my dreams aren't random but continuous with the story and they always tend to be a feel good dream. Also, I have been wanting to do more for myself and have more confidence to walk out in public and meet people. This is all naturally happening. I was a sceptic about it all, but after one week I feel so much better in life. I am hooked. I don't do it every night but maybe 3-4 times a full week. Thank you!!! ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️🤗
Totally broke me meeting that guy we talked so much and I hugged him I love him so much and he was kind to me and told me I'm all right and everything is fine and I told him things will work out and you will make it you just got to stay stay strong buddy. Only people I felt that much love in my life are my own children. I don't cry apart from when love ones die. But I'm a blubbering mess and it feels good to know I'm no heartless after all 💕💕
This answered so much for me! I cried and met my 6 year old self, she was scared because she had just been punched in the face by this little boy who supposedly liked me and abused me that year. This was powerful because I rarely think of that year and what happened. It even answered why I'm afraid to sit inside near the window on a bus. I comforted her and told her not to be afraid anymore and that she was loved. I left her in my childhood home when life was safe and grandma always made brownies.
So beautiful. I too experienced something similar and was hit in the face with a kickball so hard to this day I freeze inside thinking of how inadequate and alone I felt at that moment. I wish I can give that girl the biggest hug and yell at that boy that hurt her. You are so loved ❤️❤️
I fell asleep while listening - praise the gift of blessed sleep, so rare and mighty - and today I am a different person. I am not consciously aware of exactly what occurred in my mind last night, but I am endlessly grateful. If I had riches to share, I would pour them upon you in my gratitude. May this new me continue on, and may you find your truest need
Thank you so much for this, I cried a lot while meeting my inner child.I have gone trough a lot growing up,it is so sad to watch all my childhood memories coming to life through memories😭 I didn't expect it will be this powerful for me. I cried like a baby reminiscing all good and bad memories that happened to me trough the years,I am proud of my inner child foe overcoming all thise obstacles and for having gone this far in life. I AM PROUD OF MY INNERSELF FOR BEING SO RESILIENT AND BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE COURAGE AND DETERMINATION TO CHANGE MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE TROUGH THE YEARS.thank you so much for this😘 i feel so much better now😊
She kept repeating that I deserve unconditional love.. thank you for this experience. I understand now a bit more
I’ve been suffering from anxiety for 7 years and this video has cured me!!!!
Omg 😢 thank you so much. You’re my angel
OMGGGGGGG
I’ve suffered with it since I was a child 😞 So happy you’re cured it’s horrible
I was close to tears after I saw how happy my past (inner child) is. I found myself pleading and telling him my sorry for what will be his future. Thank you Michael. This 48 minute video has a really great impact in my life right now. And as I promise to him, i'll be better.
Wow wow wow wow wow ..... I had a massive break through. My inner child was 3 maybe it was a real memory. I cried and said I'm so sorry I let you down and I had this rush of realisations about what started my addiction and toxic cycle and I was not what I thought it was.
Thank you so much for making this video 🙏
Doing this meditation, meeting that inner child, immediately hugging her and just apologizing to her for the harm I’d done to her , telling her she didn’t deserve it, I started crying in the middle of it. She told me to revive my happiness . I feel a little bit lighter after this meditation , I need to speak with her more
Oooooooooooooomg. I don't even have words, this was so amazing a much needed and wonderful experience... I understand a lot of why I always feel stuck in different situations and fearful of saying NO...
My younger self has been stuck in the bathroom of my childhood home in Texas waiting for my mother to save me and protect me which never happened😪
Thank you for this experience.
I cried my heart out. Thank you so much. What a great way start my 26th birthday. happy birthdayto me. 🎂
What an amazing journey. My inner child gave me a periwinkle flower but it was her heart. I’ve taken it with me so she can’t feel the pain anymore, I have set her free into the river that is inside me and us. She’s much happier being here with me. If you are suffering from the effects of childhood abuse I really do recommend this video. It was very emotional but healing.
I met my inner child at Christmas time when she was about 6 and transfixed by some little angels that were made so fly in circles and jingle when you lit a candle. She was a sad and scared little girl but she was innocently alive to the simple magic of Christmas. She handed me a crystal bell made from a tear, to remind me that grief and magic can exist together. Thank you for the delicate way that you lead this hypnosis Michael.
I sobbed like a baby . I saw the times I was rejected in middle school & both my childhood homes.
This really work for me as I suffer from depression . When I met my inner child I was crying because I saw me as a Little girl happy and running around smiling not knowing the pain and emotional I was going through as a grown adult my gift really got to me as its something I cherished and carried around with me when I was a little girl . 😭😭😭
I'm revisiting this video because last time I did this hypnosis I was on psychedelics and I'm back on it looking through Michael's video looking for what I want to unblock, heal, etc.
Last time, Michael's hypnosis guided me perfectly, I went deeper and deeper into my mind and seen my inner child in a broom closet...crying in the corner, scared, left alone. The same way I'm perceiving this reality is how I was in my mind and it hit me so hard. I was bawling in my bed, sheets were soaked, I couldn't believe how I'd neglected myself That's when I realized I didn't love myself as much as I thought. I also realized that I felt like a parent and then I thought that real parents are just raising themselves (I don't have kids)
I remember Michael wrapping it up and saying I had to go and I did NOT want to leave, it felt like I was taken away from my real child but I understood I couldn't be there forever, it was an experience I'll never forget.
Thanks Michael for giving me the opportunity to meet my inner self 🙏🏼
i fell asleep watching this. somewhere around the end i woke up to a noise in my surroundings and realized i was dreaming of my childhood dog who ran away and i always thought it was my fault. suddenly all kinds of memories from that time came up. crazy how the subconscious works
I have been that road now several times, first it was all dark, second I stopped my little self from becoming dark, third I did it agiain, now 10 times later, I can see my little self beeing happy and I realise why. Thank you, I really had forgotten.
Man, my 10 year old self and I just sat in my childhood bedroom and she told me about how much she liked music and the shows she watched. She told me all about her favorites. I have her the biggest hug and realized I just wanted someone to listen when I was younger. I was skeptical at first don’t get me wrong, but I’ve smiled (and cried a bit) this was very healing. Thank you for this video
Once I got in touch with my innocent and loving inner child my world turned into a gift, a gift that I had been searching for all of my life, and I will not let go off of it again. Embraced with my inner child I went to sleep. I am never letting go off of my innocent inner child-self again. I am filled with gratitude. 🙏❤️🌈
THANK YOU. I GAVE HIL A BIG HUG, AND HE GAVE ME A CRY!🙏❤️
This is amazing, I've never done hypnosis. This brought me back to my childhood very distinct memories. I finally met her.
i don't know if i was doing it wrongly but i ended up being in child like state in my adult form whilst my inner child expected nothing from me , instead she was comforting me, telling me to " to love everyone no matter what they do, have no fear because we are born to love " and it was radiating the feeling of grace and love, i was on my knees not asking for what i can do but i was at her grace. i have never understood the concept of love nor taught what love was or supposed to feel but what she radiated felt so whole, like the universe. it left me with a message " we are god, we are all a part of him " and it left me with a gift of love & grace to let the people around me feel better. im not a religious person in anyway so im quite taken aback.
wow amazing, my inner child said i trust you, now we together we can do it... and i said ill be there always for you....
this learns me dont let yourself down, be there for youre inner child! dont be hard to youre self, but just be there!
Hi Michael, thank you for this meditation video. My inner child was fpund so sad and broken. The physical and emotional abuse she endured for so many year by her father made her this way. Thank you for teaching me how to reach out to her and show her true love, this was something that I needed to do but simply didnt know how. Once again, thank you!
I feel asleep twice only to wake up to my inner child in my mind and his voice guiding me. I said my sorry, I gave him a hug, told him I'm here for him whenever he needs me but I'll do whatever he needs me to do to make sure we fully embrace the world together..
You have helped me
So much!! I have bipolar disorder and sometimes I have the lowest of lows. After a year of taking medications, I realized that they were not helping me improve. I began a journey of "self medication" by doing things that release endorphins in the brain as medicine would. I know it could be dangerous, and it does get really hard sometimes. I do things like keeping a journal, coloring, visiting new places, reading, and most of all these videos. I really appreciate what you've done. I was skeptical at first thinking I was just sleepy already and your voice put me to sleep...that is not the case at all. I can go in the middle of the day, wide awake, listen to these videos, and before I know it, I'm waking up feeling refreshed and better about myself and my situation. At this moment I am feeling a high level of anxiety and Depression and I have no reason to feel this way. I know that when I listen to this video I will feel 100% better. Just want to say thank you!!
+Maygan Motley You're welcome, I'm glad you are finding yourself feeling better and refreshed with your self hypnosis work. One's decision for medication, of course, is always between the individual and his or her doctor. Self directed hypnotherapy work, though, can often be beneficial in either case. I hope you continue to feel better in all ways now and ahead. Peace.
You are amazing. I thought this wouldn't work because I overthink. It took me a bit to get relaxed but when I did I felt safe and warm. Ny inner child was really sweet. She sat down with a smile on her face the whole time. I miss her already. I love her too. Thankyou very much ♡♡
recently diagnosed with ASD, absent parents, PTSD and anxiety from very young age. I'm taking therapy and while i accepted myself and progresses lots with anxiety, still felt i had issues from all the unmet needs from my childhood and at therapy we started trying meeting and getting my inner child to heal but this kind of audio helps lots.
WOW. What an amazing experience! I was able to go back to points in my childhood I forgot completely about and connect with my inner child. I cried for the first time in a long time. It felt amazing, and the negative energy that has been weighing heavy on me has been lifted. I feel lighter! Thank you!
my inner child told me she wanted to me to show up for myself as dedicated as i show up for others and honestly it’s the best advice ever. she was so proud of the life i have lived and how strong i am nd have always been and how she actually loves the stories i have to tell abt her life from the future.
I used to joke about embracing "The inner Child." I was completely and utterly wrong, followed this session and it was amazing! Tears and Joy just because I know NLP and CBT does mean I can do this magic myself, Thank You for this recording!!!
An incredible feeling! With a little effort we can create the magic ourselves. No need of any medication or other shitty substance.
When you said think of your inner child. First it went kinda negative (memories) then I got like a warm but bright star of light which morphed into like, 5yr old me wearing my “🙂/😜” (shifting pic) shirt. I visualized it all right before you prompted it. Climbing these really cool trees, feeing care free. Then the questions and affirmations. She needed to hear that. I don’t think she got much as a kid. A hug and all that. I think it’s been quite a few years since I’ve fully embraced a child like glee over something and that’s something I should be fostering.
I haven’t even started this video and I know I’m about to cry😺👍
And did you cry ?
SAME
@@fellousafls7637 I couldn’t finish it😕 I’ll try again thi
@@cookiefairy8566 hahaha 🤣 same, I’ve tried many times and every time I fall asleep so I never met the inner child. And that makes me want to cry 😂
I haven't cried in years and yet this made me shed tears. This is so powerful. I thank you very much
i can't really picture anything visual in my head, but this was very easy for me to at least know (in my mind) where i was going and what i was doing. i was able to meet my inner child. They were crying because they hit puberty and didn't understand why they had to change and start being something that they weren't, and couldn't understand why. I told them that our parents will never understand, but things will get easier and harder, but you will look back and love your childhood. There are things i wish i could change, and things i wouldn't change for the world. But something that i told them and they told me was that I am unconditionally loved and i am completely and utterly accepted for who we are. I tucked them into bed, red them a story, and then came back to my conscious body. I've always had that memory and it is monumental in my life, but i thought it was just traumatic. I realize now it was so much more and it was my inner child trying to connect with me and tell me everything i needed to hear. i can't wait to meet them more and start to heal us both from our troubles. this honestly made me want to stay alive for them. i want to give them the life we've always dreamed of, and for us to show the world that we are not weird, we are not confused, and we are completely accepted and loved. if not by anyone but ourself. thank you!
This is an amazing hypnosis, a lot of crying, a lot of emotions but I believe it will have helped me very much!
Wow I didn't think this would do anything but I saw myself as a 7 year old girl. She told me that its ok things didn't go as planned. I had such dreams when i was little and as an adult feel like it has been failure after failure. But she told me it's okay.
It's ok because it's never too late. Follow your heart. Fulfill your dreams. There is no age restriction. Your worth it. How lucky are you to remember you childhood ambitions most have buried them and are no longer connected to they soul. Knowing is the hardest part. You know. Allow it to flow. Enjoy the journey. ♥️
This one gets me. Unlike some people here, I never experienced anything too traumatic. But I too sometimes can't help but feel like I could be doing so much better than this mediocre existence. Sometimes I feel like if my young self were to meet me then he'd be disappointed with how things turned out. ...But if I'm being perfectly honest he'd probably just give me a hug and want to talk about it, and then maybe play some games together.
Even though we've grown and changed over the years, we used to feel that way once, think that way once. It wasn't another person. Those memories and experiences are still a part of who we are today. So instead of looking back and yearning for bygone times, we can simply create what we want for the future. I know it's not easy, hardly anything worthwhile ever is. Truthfully I haven't listened to this video myself yet, but it's something I've thought about previously. Maybe I should give it a go. I hope you're doing well today too. Be kind to yourself.
I also have borderline personality disorder and I’m in recovery for a varied of addictions - this meditation has really helped x
THANK YOU FROM THE DEEPEST PART OF MY OLD HEART. BLESS YOU.
I cried so much... She gave a smile... She told me that she just need to be loved.... And she will be loved
This made me cry. It was a good cry though, something I really needed. I've never mediated so this was a very new experience to me. A quite emotional one at that. I will definitely be meditating more. Especially if it brings me one with myself.
*plan on meditating more.
Music-Is-My-life-Line! How’s your meditation journey been?
I've never experienced anything like this...I have heard something my inner child is trying to tell me. It was a transformative experience, wow.
Thank you 🙏🏽 I feel so much better now with a sense of relief, freedom and love. I can see my younger self is happily playing now, smiling, laughing.
Hugging my inner child was the most wholesome thing I could ever experience
Unlike some of the people here, I never even had a majorly traumatic experience in childhood, but I still cried profusely in this one. After the 'meeting' took place I could scarcely hear your voice anymore because I was so focused on our internal interactions. For such a long time I've always been afraid that I let him down, that I failed somehow. I've never made it a secret that I loved him, and I've always reassured him that I haven't changed, that I haven't betrayed what he felt was important.
I never expected him to hug and comfort me back... that he doesn't want me to feel this way, that he knows I must have been through my fair share, that he "forgives" me if that's what I want but he just wants me to be happy. That really caught me off guard. Though if I think about it, it probably shouldn't... I was always the kid who would talk to teachers after class, or who would extend a sympathetic ear to a friend going through a rough patch, or even counselled my father after he accidentally killed someone during a road traffic accident. It shouldn't be a surprise that he'd be the same way towards me too, but still.
He had such bright eyes. We cried it out together for a while, then played some games together. He'd definitely know it was me after that, since he was always the best back then, haha. All I wanted was a challenge! But more than that, someone to relate to, and someone who genuinely wanted to play with him. That hasn't changed a bit, so even if it's just inner work, I do want to do something like this again. I know I still have some issues there, even if I can't quite articulate them. Thanks for this.
Wow.. My inner child made me cry and all I could do was hug her. She gave me this red paper heart.
This one put me directly into a lucid dream. Incredible work man.
+Mark Ridley Lucky you! Appreciate the kind words.
I wasn't expecting to see a very young version of myself, she was barely 5 and I couldn't believe she was the one in pain. She was literally smiling through the pain when she saw me. She thought she was never loved and the family she grew up with was only taking care of her because it would be morally wrong to abandon a child. She thought her mom never loved her in the first place and her dad only pitied her because her mom don't love her.
“Don’t be afraid of darkness. Because you overcame darkness. You didn’t become it.” - My Inner Child
I could see a picture of my 8-9 year old self and then it jumped to when I was in high school, permed damaged hair and my striped shirt I wore for picture day in middle school.
My inner child looked so dark and monstrous, didn’t have any eyes and had absorbed all the energy from abusive family members, in the end she became purified and became this beautiful light being and started walking across a bridge and I woke out of this trance feeling so much stronger and less… fragile. My child alter you are loved and safe now.
Thank you for absorbing all the pain and suffering and protecting my heart, you are now free.
This is very helpful for me. I listened several times and could not stay awake for the life of me. I would wake up at the end and realize that it was all done and I had spent 30 minutes asleep. After several times, I was able to stay awake and follow the hypnosis. What a great feeling it brought me. I realized how many terrific experiences I have had, and was able to hold onto those, rather than holding on to the negative experiences. Thanks Michael!
Really glad I found your channel. Just did this and plan to do 1-2 per day. I do believe in hypnosis, and I'm surprised it isn't more popular in today's day and age. I like hypnotherapy because at the very least I feel like I'm getting the benefits of meditation, along with the positive messages I'm usually not able to think up myself. I found your channel searching for social anxiety hypnosis. Social anxiety and depression are really preventing me from living the life I want. I will continue to listen and have faith your tapes can change my thought process!
I got a lot of childhood trauma but I didn’t know I had that much of heavy trauma. I started crying and couldn’t stop at first. I saw everything so vivid as If I would relive that trauma. I saw my inner child and showed it all my love.
this Mediation helped me a lot
thank you so much
Saved this to try again. I had a traumatic childhood, much of which I've blocked out. I know my path to true healing is validating that inner child but my first attempt made me so anxious. I listened through but my mind resisted the process though there were moments so I know it's going to work. I love all your hypnosis videos, they always work for me. But this one may take awhile. Thank you for posting this!
Wow. That was amazing. I was so scared to do it and really didn’t want to. I had a voice in my head telling me it needed to be perfect. I cried when I met my inner child. I’m still crying now. I thought she would be sad but she was so nice and sweet and playful and she told me to have fun. She told me I don’t need to be perfect I just need to explore.
This was so helpful to me. I highly recommend.
Hey ! How did you prepare for this ? I wanna do it but idk if i should do it while I’m asleep or awake.
@@Deondra0525 I did it during the middle of the day. I had some crystals around me and set intentions of protection and release. I knew it was going to challenging because I have traumas to face and don’t like revisiting the past but it really was cleansing.
Prepare for a well of emotions.
I wouldn’t have been able to sleep after I finished but try it out!
I have so many words but also none at the same time. The insane amount of love I have for my inner child is so powerful. I feel again. I don’t cry but I woke streaming. So thank you. I’ll be doing more work on this can’t wait to see him again and I’ve never felt such a surge of emotion.
