I think my inner child is 9 years old, this is the age I was sexually abused by my stepfather. My inner child is a runner, I have 59 years old and have run my entire life. It's time to stop running. It is time to emotionally mature. Thank you so much for the truth.
I was called lazy as a child if I sat down doing "NOTHING". This is why I worked my self so hard. I'm sat in my back garden now and I can hear my Dad's voice telling me to get up and do something... I am not lazy and neither is my Inner child, we are the complete opposite
Here I am at 65. Time to begin and end the trauma I experienced the first 21 years of my life....so.....I can better experience my spiritual being, per...instructions from my spiritual guides. Basically my message was you have blockage and you need to address the blockage before you can go to the next level. My inner child is already pouting and raising hell and I haven't even started yet. I guess she's always been doing that because everytime I think about things that happened, my human self says...I don't want to relive all that pain and sorrow. Sending love to you all. 🤗💙🐢
Thanks for listening. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on our videos and work; we appreciate your interest. Kind regards, David.
This is a great video. I’d just like to add that seeing a therapist THAT CAN WORK WITH YOU AND GO BACK IN TIME TO SHOW YOU HOW YOUR INNER CHILD AND PAST TRAUMAS ARE BLOCKING YOU TODAY is very important. I hear a few things in this video that seemed to brush off therapy. Therapy has been HUGEEEE for me with my healing. Yes, we intuitively have information within us but it’s normal and OK to need a professionals help. It’s a beautiful thing to have people to rely on that have worked with other people in the same situation. My current therapist specializes in trauma and inner child work and has been doing it for 15 years. It’s okay to need that. So to anyone reading this, please- if you need to see a therapist once or twice while you obviously do the work on your own, SEE ONE. It’s important. ❤️
Thank you for your comments, we could not agree with you more! We have been professionally helping clients for over 25 years specialising in Inner Child work.
I'm pleased that you have been able to find a therapist that has been able to offer you support and guidance.

Sometimes we are so cut off from ourselves, we NEED others. We need to thaw out in their LOVE. Getting to our own inner guide may need a few other steps firt. ❤
Superb advice, thank you so much! This series really resonates with me :) I was parented by parents who couldn't provide me any emotional support. However it turned out the complete opposite for me when i had my child (after losing one shortly after birth), and i found being a parent myself has been the most fulfilling and magical thing i could ever imagine and my priority goal is to be the parent i wish i had to my son. Im not sure why i turned out the opposite to my parents, and i had no role model to teach me, but i now realise because i am such a great dad, i can heal my inner child myself with complete confidence. Love and peace to you all!
Thank you Jason for sharing your story. A great inspiration to us all, well done. Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support as always! Alex + David x
Jason Ong stop focusing on your new born child. It’s just a distraction from facing you own dark pain. Focus on your dark pain and the child will be fine. If you don’t start doing the inner child work. He will turn into a mess just like you. I am talking from experience.
@@ronbanks2010 I have healed, and my child turned out beautiful. Sorry to hear your child didnt but dont give up, because he/she turned out a mess like you doesnt mean they cant heal. May God go with you, i hope your life finds light in your darkness.
@@ronbanks2010 Wow going by your negativity dude, sounds like your child turned out really messed up! Dont assume others will turn out as messed as you and yours lol
My inner child is scared and loves to stay comfortable. I resonate so much to these series! Thank you for this gift ❤️ Going to deep dive into the Wu Wei Wisdom Way
This is great 👍 love this so much. I have been stuck with this IC, I guess, almost 20 years now but I didn't give up, searching, searching and searching for solution from drugs to counselling for this mysterious thing, I thank the ALMIGHTY for dragging me to your space, I thank both of you for this beautiful work and I appreciate you as well, thank you once again, cheers
Wow. This part 2 is such a treat after part 1! What you both said really struck me. I've gone through a couple therapists and I always knew deep within me that everything ties back to my childhood and wanted to dig deeper and do this kind of work but they always only focused on the surface level (how to deal with what's bringing anxiety/depression lately) and not holistically. Exactly as you've said, can spend thousands on therapy, but you cannot change/heal what you don't understand. I'm glad I continue to research and try to understand myself more each day, reaching enlightenment. It has lead me to your videos and for that I am very thankful!

I think my inner child is 5, when we moved schools from a city setting to rural, after my parent's divorce and my world turned upside down. I think the culture shock of the new school, a starkly different, lower standard of living, kids and teachers who didn't understand an expressive, differently looking and sounding child, and a single parent who was too distracted by her own stresses and own gaps in upbringing to relate or step in as a loving parent, only chastizing. This may be made the child freeze and vow a number of ways, mostly around relationships with other people, and wanting to be superior in order not to get hurt. all the 3 vows feel true. It took a while to get to this teaching, about 10 years of seeking, and I am thankful that your work and these realizations. All through, it has been like peeling an onion, layer after layer, learnings, and steps ahead, back, etc... but here we are. The inner child has been angry, domineering, trying to control situations, yet helpless, and codependent. We have lived in functional addiction and avoidance for a long time! I know that a new journey just started, but it feels like the first sunlight after a long winter. Already doing the work, step by step, day by day. Thank you so much for your work! I want to encourage anyone here, especially if the work feels difficult. It gets easier, slowly, and trust me, your feel better with every session you have with your child. And you can talk to your child anywhere. Your Consciousness led you here because you have lessons to learn. And somehow you're going to keep seeing this teaching till you're ready for the next lesson! Happens to me that way :) Namaste
Thank you for keeping these up on UTube for 4years. Since the mid to late 90s when the "inner child" first came out. I never got it in all the years until you-all go over it. I'd simply look for a therapist that did not leave us "victimize" as part of their therapy. It always seemed so self perpetuating in their appearance that you needed them. Rarely any therapist was truly authentic after having worked on themselves(?).. when they come off as having this superiority from our ”need” they accuse us of having for them. So it's been lots of books until UTube and still I could not get my mind around the inner child...until these, your videos. With the help of the excellent meditations and videos they are finally making a difference. Thank you How it took me 4years to get here, I'll never know. I did come to your meditations after listening to TNH and his Plum Village talks. He was an Excellent monk, as well, but too far from the subject at hand. Again thanks

I am so Grateful for your videos on Inner child. I am 50 yrs old and to find out that my 6yr old self has been running my life is by far the best thing that has ever happend to me. You both have opened up my rabbit hole and let me see who I truly am. Myself, my job, my relationships all have been run by my inner child. I cant thx you both enough for helping me see that this is my problem. I have been though many therapy's but none have ever lead to this part of myself. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

I've studied and attempted to practice connecting with my inner children (multiple ages who differ in thinking sometimes). This Wu Wei method seems more practical since you address the pitfalls of working with the inner child. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. :)
This was so eye-opening for me. It triggered something inside me. Also, good to know that there are many people going through this process, regardless of age. There is always this pressure of getting to do smt. or 'accomplish' smt. at a certain age. I feel kind of emancipated, even at the beginning of this journey

After a months of therapy and the last 2 weeks in an incredibly unhelpful, symptomatically-focused group CBT program, this information is what i needed to hear in order to initiate REAL change in my life. THANK YOU!!!
I was on your FB group, but removed myself again- as I am neurotic about “cult like” behaviour, because of my toxic evangelical past but that’s a whole other subject , however still keep following your videos here on you tube- last night I was practicing visualising bad situations from my childhood - then visualising myself comforting that bullied disturbed child- however born gay, (as a child) (have never said this to anyone ) I had a lot of suicidal tendencies due to all the bullying from age 5 to 18 - and then the craziest thing happened this morning, I had a random suicidal feeling/ haven’t felt that in years as if the child from back then confronted me again : I am 55- anyway will continue to live and learn from your videos - thank you 🙏❤️
Hi Drew, Thank you for sharing your story and for your continued support of our content. I understand your concerns, and I want to reassure you that Wu Wei Wisdom is all about encouraging personal empowerment and freedom, never about enforcing rigid beliefs or behaviors. Your practice of visualising and comforting your younger self is a powerful step in addressing past pain. It's not uncommon for deeply buried emotions to resurface when we work on these issues. That feeling you experienced could be a sign that there are still unresolved emotions from that time that need gentle attention. Remember, the journey to understanding and resolving these feelings is a process, and it's important to be kind to yourself along the way. Continue to take things one step at a time, and know that you're not alone in this. Kind Regards, David
I just found your website and started watching a few videos. Wow! I learned so much already about healing my inner child. My child is so stubborn! I just didn't know how to talk to him to bring us together. I feel optimistic for the first time. It has been a long road for me. I also forwarded your site info to a few people I thought who could benefit. Thanks, David and Alex.
We're thrilled to hear that our content has been enlightening for you, especially on such a significant journey of healing your inner child. Recognising and nurturing that part of yourself is a brave and beautiful step towards wholeness. Thank you for sharing our work-it's the highest compliment we could receive. Keep embracing your journey, Regards David and Alex.
I MUST SAY, AFTER ALL THE SELF-HELP EDUCATION, AND THERAPY TOO, THESE VIDEOS HAVE NOT ONLY GRABBED MY ATTENTION, THEY HAVE ALSO HELPED TO BECOME FREE ME! THE FACT THAT YOUR PERSPECTIVE(S) IS COMING FROM BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, IT SYMBOLICALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE "PARENTAL" ASPECT.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you..." The Father's spirit is inside of each one of us. That's our shen. We've just forgotten who we are - children of YHWH.
Hi Veronica C, Thanks for your comments, I had to smile because I've never met a lazy Inner Child, stubborn, yes, not willing to engage, yes, but never lazy. I believe your Inner Child is awesome and needs to be listened to and helped out of the pit she has dug. The video will lower a ladder, then we have to persuade her it safe to climb out.

@@WuWeiWisdom I just joined too my what a breath of fresh air. Appreciate your direct approach which I mirror for everyone around me, except for myself.
I WAS AFRAID OF BEING LAZY TOO, BUT THEN I HAD TO SEE MYSELF FROM A CHILD'S PERSPECTIVE. CHILDREN AREN'T LAZY. SOME ARE, HOWEVER, WEIGHTED DOWN FROM SELF-SABOTAGING.
David and Alex, your talk is great. My regards to both of you. Midway,while listening to both of you,when you taled about enlightenment and the child running the life. This is what I had been experiencing since childhood. I am now 71 yreaes of age, I attended vipasana meditation for 10 days twice .which i still practice. On each occassion , the aggitation or wounded child relaxed like chunk of ice falling down, when fountain is suddenly switched off. All relaxed, after whirrling inside . I felt I am like any other bird,tree and pond. There was no where to go. All was there . All relaxed. I am part of universe. I also practice TA and its 12 permissions.to self and others.I simly sharing. I want to live upto i dont know. But I love and paint, If I had not attended vipassana and TA, I would have died long ago.
Thank you so much, dear David and Alex for the wonderful insights. I am currently recovering from a horrible break up due to an affair I had. The younger me had the affair and is very angry. I am working with that inner child now to heal. Your videos are so enlightening!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH guys for this useful, practical, compassionate, realistic and effective education 🎁 I appreciate the way you explain the “how to do it” with such depth and details ! This is a fantastic addition to other tools I use to help my inner child grow in a living yet firm way. I suffered many of my adult years with childhood emotional neglect that affected all my relationships including the one with myself. On the way to recovery, step by step ... THANK YOU 🙏
Can you show an example of what it looks like? If you are stuck in the past or if you believe you're unlovable. Is it just a mantra you repeat to yourself? Do you look in the mirror and chant? You write down your thoughts of yourself and why they are true/false? Etc
So i have been 9 for 18 years and always wondered why i didnt feel like an adult be i realize part of me is a child im healing her now im going back to moments that are with me on constant replay in my head and letting her know shes ok its not her fault giving her hugs and explaining its not her its her parents and thier issues projected on her i know see how the issues i have can affect my daughter and i dont want that im fixing me to be whole and a better mom #ps thank this is how you stop ruminating thoughts if i take away the misguided gult its over i understand what happen i couldnt stop as a child and give love to my inner child

Thank you for these videos. Soo helpful. I find my inner child so resentful and defiant when I talk to her. I’m waiting for approval to join the Facebook group.
Thank you very much for all the wisdom. I heard you saying not to waste time and money on counseling. That to me is not helping people and is wrong advise for who need to be helped in the direction they need to go and work with their belief systems to get to where they need to be. You are also counseling people and working with them in your way.
I have listen to this video 2 months ago but I am lead by to it why because now I am starting to understand more about my inner child I have got her to say she trust me two days ago but she come back yesterday talking to me about a situation that going on in my life she was trying to get me to have fear and doubt and be afraid that things was not going to work as planned I listen to her and I told her I am not afraid and she don't need to be either and I told her this morning I am in control and let me lead us and God the father and the Holy spirit is in control so she is now quite today not talk to me at all thank again David
Hi @EnlightenmentQueenElisheBA, It's truly inspiring to hear about the progress you've made in understanding and communicating with your inner child. Your ability to reassure and lead your inner child, emphasizing trust, control, and faith, is a significant step towards inner harmony and confidence. This journey of dialogue with your inner self demonstrates a beautiful commitment to growth and self-love. Your practice of listening, responding with assurance, and asserting leadership in a gentle manner is a powerful approach to managing fear and doubt. Remember, this process is ongoing, and it's normal for the inner child to have moments of quiet and reflection. Your journey is an encouragement to many. Kind Regards, David
Hi @EnlightenmentQueenElisheBA, Thank you for recognising Alex's contributions! We truly appreciate your kind words. Alex plays a crucial role in our team, not only in providing support and encouragement to me but also in engaging with and uplifting our audience.

Your feedback is a great encouragement to us all. Kind Regards, David
My parents shouldn't have been so mean to eachother in front of me and my sisters. It seems that it caused damage of some sort to my inner child, finally trying to sort that out at 50 years old. They loved us, but they fought with eachother, violently at times. It caused in me a strong desire to avoid confrontation, and a sense of anxiety when situations get heated. The adult me hasn't been compassionate with the little me, I'll say things to myself like "don't be such a coward", putting on a bold face externally, while there's the young me inside just wanting everything to quiet down and be peaceful. They are both gone now, they died 4 days apart 8 years ago, wish I could talk things through with them, but that option is gone.
Hi, thank you for sharing such a personal story. It’s never easy to revisit the challenges of our past, especially when it involves the people we love. The desire to avoid confrontation and the inner conflict you're describing are understandable, given what you experienced. It's important to recognise that the adult you is now in a position to provide the care and guidance that your younger self was seeking. Though your parents are no longer here, the opportunity for resolution lies within you. The past can’t be changed, but you can work to *resolve* the beliefs and patterns that have developed from those experiences. Rather than labeling yourself as a "coward," acknowledge the courage it takes to confront these issues now and gently guide yourself towards balance and acceptance.

Today I was listening to a self hypnosis session and found complete resistence from my inner child. This affirmation was the problem: "My positive emotions are currently getting stronger, my anxious negative emotions are getting weaker." This caused my child to feel shut down and I was not able to relax. Anyone else find they have to be very particular about affirmations or guided imagery sessions due to inner child feeling shut down?
I had a number of traumatic experiences my whole childhood (neglect, physical/mental abuse, etc) and I have an entitled child in my heart that wants all the things I deserved as a kid, and also everything I deserve as an adult. And when I don't get my way, my conscious mind understands (but hates it) but then I hit a rock and I throw a temper tantrum and blame everything and everyone else. I'm so tired of feeling like a victim and playing the role. I need to stop it. Because it perpetuates. Done

In my experience most people do not know how to be truly compassionate towards their friends and relatives. Compassion is a skill that we need to develop if it was not modeled for us.
My mother was manic hypomania. She left me with my dad at four years of age. It's a black hole .She came back into my life at ten she was a scold she scolded me for 5 + hours one day. Fritz Pearls spoke about an intro jected parent it took me until 32 to get a job and statt building self worth.
Does anyone else feel like they have multiple children?? Before This video I was telling my therapist that I feel like I have a little kid in charge when I’m having anxiety and I noticed a mothering figure that pops up every once in a while that talks to the little girl and tells her thank you for trying to help us but, I can handle this one. She is always so respectful and kind and compassionate. So I’ve been tapping into the motherly figure to relax my immature tendencies, but since then that little girl has calmed down but now I have this teenager “everyone and everything, is against me” kind of attitude and I keep having memories of when I was a preteen. I also have like a really young and venerable one and I do a weird baby voice, I feel like I’m losing it guys.
This reminds me of the pendulum, David describes. Perhaps by falling still, pausing we can observe which end we are, then rebalance using the compassionate part you really are.??
Wow love the example of the socket I knw I’ve done that all my life I wish I didn’t..I’ve exhausted myself looking for validation from others and realise I’ve only harmed myself
I enjoyed the first video - however feel that David's critical parent came out quite strongly in this video- which makes my inner child disengage - and how many times do I come with that overpowering energy towards myself? I am working on the parent child dynamic within and cultivating the 'nurturing parent'. For those interested look at the PAC (Parent - Adult - Child) model in psychology
Hi Nora We also have an Inner Child video playlist with lots more Inner Child teachings that you may enjoy: ruclips.net/p/PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qq x
After a series of stressors, my “parent” is off line. Please do a video on how to fortify the inner parent. You’ve suggested meditation to plug into shen - what are other practices of a good inner parent? I’m not sure instinct will be a reliable source - please elaborate on your discussion of parenting skills. Thank you for your helpful work!!
tnt looks like you have a long way to go with your therapy. Sarcasm is a sign that you cannot get close to people. Did you know that the bottom like to all this inner child stuff is the capacity for Intimacy. Intimacy of course starts with being close and intimate with your inner child.
I see no comments about david’s question. He said tell me why you are not awesome. I’ll go with mine. I cant do public speaking and i keep embarrassing myself at work. Its hard to believe i’m awesome when i cant even function on a zoom meeting. I dont know what to say to a child who’s going through this. All i can say is no matter what you can or cannot do i’m here loving you. But it doesnt want my love. It wants others people admiration and respect and just to be a normal person who can speak in front of people without having a heart attack. I dont know how to support my inner child on this one..😢

So I understand about babies come into the world as a ball of joy etc ... Babies also express when they're not happy about something IE; when they're tired, want to be picked up and so on .. Can you explain please David 😊
Hi @Reiaroma, Great question! Indeed, babies come into the world with pure Shen spirit energy, embodying joy and natural spontaneity. Their expressions of discomfort-like crying when tired or needing closeness-are just simple signals. Babies haven’t yet developed attachments, beliefs, or judgments, so they respond directly to their needs in the moment. As we grow, we start adding layers of learned beliefs and judgments to our natural Shen energy, which can cloud our authentic responses and lead to confusion or inner conflict. Wu Wei Wisdom teaches that by reconnecting with this original Shen spirit, we can learn to respond to life’s challenges with clarity and balance, rather than through the filters of conditioning.

I've tried inner child work and at least 500 other methods to integrate the 17 year old inner child that has been running my life for over 30 years. I've been compulsive overeating as a coping method and willpower doesn't cut it for me. What advice or approach would you suggest in overcoming my impulses? I'm so tired of being a slave to my inner child's cravings. I desperately want to reclaim my power and start living my purpose. Thank you for your videos and insights.
Hi Nancy P, Thanks for your comments, I'm pleased that our videos are helping on your journey. The approach I would suggest is that you go past the 17 year old you as in my experience the core or main issues are created around the 6 to 9 years old.

I’m not sure as my mom always abused me physically and verbally from an extremely young age. It’s no wonder my inner child rules me with such anger! My mom was such an angry parent! Incapable of loving me, etc. However, at about age 5, the knob on our gas stove was turned on right before we left to visit grandparents not far away. My dad was in bed sleeping as he worked the night shift. I’ve blocked most memory of this but I do recall the explosion and looking out the window seeing my house in complete fire and my mom running out the door toward our house while my grandma held me back from following. I was never blamed for turning the knob on but I hold that trauma. And anger has ruled my life for the past 66 years of my life. Where do I begin to reparent as right now my sweet, loveable inner June won’t talk to me or let me love her. Oh, I should tell you, every fiber of my being tells me my mother was the one who actually turned that knob on that gas stove.

I understand I need to parent my inner child but don’t feel am capable of doing it as I have huge self doubt as I had no good role models as a child and they have left me believing I am not good enough at anything and I find it really hard after 47 years to not listen to the negative opinions of my parents even though I know they were wrong the way they neglected me or told me off etc and made me feel I’m not good enough, I’m unlovable , I’m a bad person as they shouted at me ,emotionally neglected me and have left me with such low self esteem depression and anxiety. How do I contradict the strongly held beliefs that my parents made me believe about myself and challenge them as Even as an adult I realise I am hoping my mother would one day turn around and say she loves me or is proud of me or well done but she doesn’t . I realise I’m still stuck as a child wanting my parents approval and never getting it and so just not even trying in life anymore , ie . Gave up jobs , stay indoors and don’t go out as I feel I’m not good enough to have friends , do nice things or have a happy life. How do you teach your inner child to stand up to their parents when your still scared of them and life like they made you feel.
Which minute do you actually start talking about how to overcome resistance of the inner child because I'm already convinced that I need to do take responsibility-I need the practical advice on how to do it not why I need to do it. I love your videos but please could you please be more specific?
This is brilliant advice in theory and I do believe we are all divine, but how do you do this when your life and full time job is about doing what is expected of you all the time and have no support network? There is no respite from it. I;m 58, have no energy left to do all this work. Family continue to be disfunctional. There is no time or energy or room for me. I'm exhausted, full of arthritis and worried to death about financial survival and the future. I think saying you can't be bothered to look after yourself tells me you have not experienced being constantly told and shown you're not good enough.

I've been controlled by my 8 year old inner child and Im now 16 years old. My inner child is really scared and emotionally damaged, and loves to stay on her "safe zone" (pretending its not happening and distracting myself with entertainment) which was my coping mechanism when I was being sexually abused at ages 5 to 8. When I started my spiritual journey on Dec 26, when I started watching this types if videos, especially about shadow work, my inner child would completely take over and I'd say "No, Im scared, I'm scared" repeatedly and crying, she(me) is scared of remembering what happened (I don't remember most my childhood because I repressed my sexual abuse memories, I only remember one time when I was 8)
I talk with my children as my bestfriend not like a child. That's they are feeling matured we Always talk i always give affection if made mistake i give her hugs and kisses and say sorry for what action
Hi, I've come to realize that my inner child has been running the show. Thing is, I've messed things up majorly in recent decisions and I feel I lost time and opportunities. How can I get back on track in time and still do my projects? Is it possible to do all at once? What is a realistic time frame?
Hi Melanie, Thank you for your question. As you will appreciate it is difficult for me to give you a realistic timeframe for this work as I have no idea of your history or background around the issues that we will be addressing. What we suggest to all of our clients is to book an introductory session where you can experience the Wu Wei wisdom process for yourself. At the end of that session we will both be in a better position to work out a realistic timeframe and a roadmap going forward. I hope that gives you the information that you were seeking and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch our videos and to comment. David
When you said we won't tell to a physical child that it is bad etc. And I thought "But that how I was told as a child.". After all, my parents think they only "cared" about me.
Hi jaga690, I say YOU would not say that to your physical child, therefor don't say it to yourself! Regardless of what your parents said to you. Connect to your 'Shen' (higher-self) and take full self-responsibility to live your life with truth and integrity. David
Thank you for your beautiful videos - I keep hearing mention of the golden thread as a method of self inquiry - but only partial examples of how to do this- do any of your videos address the GoldenThread more fully and provide examples of the Golden Thread in action
Validation is important. It feels like a hole... some people learn about reparenting later in life. I had to learn all this things because depression took over... it’s not as simple as it seems.
I’m 72 and I’m just now gaining some sense of enlightenment!! Thankfully I’ve found Wu Wei Community! 🥰❤️❤️🙏🏼
Hello June, Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on our videos and work; we appreciate your interest. Kind regards, David.
I'm 64. Same, I am learning so much about myself.
For me it’s fear, it’s the fear of rejection… wanting and waiting to learn
I think my inner child is 9 years old, this is the age I was sexually abused by my stepfather. My inner child is a runner, I have 59 years old and have run my entire life. It's time to stop running. It is time to emotionally mature. Thank you so much for the truth.
Waw..you are 90% master of your life after you recognize this..
I understand. Mine always runs
I was called lazy as a child if I sat down doing "NOTHING". This is why I worked my self so hard. I'm sat in my back garden now and I can hear my Dad's voice telling me to get up and do something... I am not lazy and neither is my Inner child, we are the complete opposite
Me too
My inner child keeps spending my money on chocolate. Thank you for opening my eyes to this. My journey can begin.
😀😀😀😀😀mine does the same. She is very mischievous
😄😄
same lol
@@kirstysewell367 haha bless her. she's a sweetheart
Me too !!
The socket for your power to plug into is in your heart. I love that analogy! ❤️
And on our videos we really appreciate it. Kind regards, David.
Here I am at 65. Time to begin and end the trauma I experienced the first 21 years of my life....so.....I can better experience my spiritual being, per...instructions from my spiritual guides. Basically my message was you have blockage and you need to address the blockage before you can go to the next level. My inner child is already pouting and raising hell and I haven't even started yet. I guess she's always been doing that because everytime I think about things that happened, my human self says...I don't want to relive all that pain and sorrow. Sending love to you all. 🤗💙🐢
Ahhh… in your video you said to leave you notes, but I see you’re not responding. 😢
Thank you for making this message possible for us and amen.ienjoy this
Thanks for listening. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on our videos and work; we appreciate your interest. Kind regards, David.
This is a great video. I’d just like to add that seeing a therapist THAT CAN WORK WITH YOU AND GO BACK IN TIME TO SHOW YOU HOW YOUR INNER CHILD AND PAST TRAUMAS ARE BLOCKING YOU TODAY is very important. I hear a few things in this video that seemed to brush off therapy. Therapy has been HUGEEEE for me with my healing. Yes, we intuitively have information within us but it’s normal and OK to need a professionals help. It’s a beautiful thing to have people to rely on that have worked with other people in the same situation. My current therapist specializes in trauma and inner child work and has been doing it for 15 years. It’s okay to need that. So to anyone reading this, please- if you need to see a therapist once or twice while you obviously do the work on your own, SEE ONE. It’s important. ❤️

Sometimes we are so cut off from ourselves, we NEED others. We need to thaw out in their LOVE.
Getting to our own inner guide may need a few other steps firt.

Superb advice, thank you so much! This series really resonates with me :) I was parented by parents who couldn't provide me any emotional support. However it turned out the complete opposite for me when i had my child (after losing one shortly after birth), and i found being a parent myself has been the most fulfilling and magical thing i could ever imagine and my priority goal is to be the parent i wish i had to my son. Im not sure why i turned out the opposite to my parents, and i had no role model to teach me, but i now realise because i am such a great dad, i can heal my inner child myself with complete confidence. Love and peace to you all!
Thank you Jason for sharing your story. A great inspiration to us all, well done.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support as always!

Jason Ong stop focusing on your new born child. It’s just a distraction from facing you own dark pain. Focus on your dark pain and the child will be fine. If you don’t start doing the inner child work. He will turn into a mess just like you. I am talking from experience.
@@ronbanks2010 I have healed, and my child turned out beautiful. Sorry to hear your child didnt but dont give up, because he/she turned out a mess like you doesnt mean they cant heal. May God go with you, i hope your life finds light in your darkness.
@@ronbanks2010 Wow going by your negativity dude, sounds like your child turned out really messed up! Dont assume others will turn out as messed as you and yours lol
You are wonderful teachers please don't stop I just learn so much from 🎉1 video❤ Thank you
Kind regards, David.
I didnt realize how my mind is controlled by this inner child through identification until I watched this video. This is very deep advice.
A 7 year old is running my life, that's when my trauma happen to me and this makes complete sense. Thank you for turning that light on for me, wow!
My inner child is scared and loves to stay comfortable. I resonate so much to these series! Thank you for this gift ❤️ Going to deep dive into the Wu Wei Wisdom Way
Mine is too. I’m so happy that I found this series because I’m tired of being scared.
This is great 👍 love this so much.
I have been stuck with this IC, I guess, almost 20 years now but I didn't give up, searching, searching and searching for solution from drugs to counselling for this mysterious thing, I thank the ALMIGHTY for dragging me to your space, I thank both of you for this beautiful work and I appreciate you as well, thank you once again, cheers
This channel speaks to me!! Please don’t stop doing this divine service.
Wow. This part 2 is such a treat after part 1! What you both said really struck me. I've gone through a couple therapists and I always knew deep within me that everything ties back to my childhood and wanted to dig deeper and do this kind of work but they always only focused on the surface level (how to deal with what's bringing anxiety/depression lately) and not holistically. Exactly as you've said, can spend thousands on therapy, but you cannot change/heal what you don't understand. I'm glad I continue to research and try to understand myself more each day, reaching enlightenment. It has lead me to your videos and for that I am very thankful!

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you!
I think my inner child is 5, when we moved schools from a city setting to rural, after my parent's divorce and my world turned upside down.
I think the culture shock of the new school, a starkly different, lower standard of living, kids and teachers who didn't understand an expressive, differently looking and sounding child, and a single parent who was too distracted by her own stresses and own gaps in upbringing to relate or step in as a loving parent, only chastizing. This may be made the child freeze and vow a number of ways, mostly around relationships with other people, and wanting to be superior in order not to get hurt. all the 3 vows feel true.
It took a while to get to this teaching, about 10 years of seeking, and I am thankful that your work and these realizations. All through, it has been like peeling an onion, layer after layer, learnings, and steps ahead, back, etc... but here we are.
The inner child has been angry, domineering, trying to control situations, yet helpless, and codependent. We have lived in functional addiction and avoidance for a long time!
I know that a new journey just started, but it feels like the first sunlight after a long winter. Already doing the work, step by step, day by day. Thank you so much for your work!
I want to encourage anyone here, especially if the work feels difficult. It gets easier, slowly, and trust me, your feel better with every session you have with your child. And you can talk to your child anywhere. Your Consciousness led you here because you have lessons to learn. And somehow you're going to keep seeing this teaching till you're ready for the next lesson! Happens to me that way :)
Namaste
Thank you for keeping these up on UTube for 4years. Since the mid to late 90s when the "inner child" first came out. I never got it in all the years until you-all go over it. I'd simply look for a therapist that did not leave us "victimize" as part of their therapy.
It always seemed so self perpetuating in their appearance that you needed them. Rarely any therapist was truly authentic after having worked on themselves(?).. when they come off as having this superiority from our ”need” they accuse us of having for them.
So it's been lots of books until UTube and still I could not get my mind around the inner child...until these, your videos.
With the help of the excellent meditations and videos they are finally making a difference.
Thank you
How it took me 4years to get here, I'll never know. I did come to your meditations after listening to TNH and his Plum Village talks. He was an Excellent monk, as well, but too far from the subject at hand.
Again thanks

You both have opened up my rabbit hole and let me see who I truly am. Myself, my job, my relationships all have been run by my inner child. I cant thx you both enough for helping me see that this is my problem. I have been though many therapy's but none have ever lead to this part of myself. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Why is it sometimes difficult to feel our feelings?
I've studied and attempted to practice connecting with my inner children (multiple ages who differ in thinking sometimes). This Wu Wei method seems more practical since you address the pitfalls of working with the inner child. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. :)
This was so eye-opening for me. It triggered something inside me. Also, good to know that there are many people going through this process, regardless of age. There is always this pressure of getting to do smt. or 'accomplish' smt. at a certain age. I feel kind of emancipated, even at the beginning of this journey

After a months of therapy and the last 2 weeks in an incredibly unhelpful, symptomatically-focused group CBT program, this information is what i needed to hear in order to initiate REAL change in my life. THANK YOU!!!
I was on your FB group, but removed myself again- as I am neurotic about “cult like” behaviour, because of my toxic evangelical past but that’s a whole other subject , however still keep following your videos here on you tube- last night I was practicing visualising bad situations from my childhood - then visualising myself comforting that bullied disturbed child- however born gay, (as a child) (have never said this to anyone ) I had a lot of suicidal tendencies due to all the bullying from age 5 to 18 - and then the craziest thing happened this morning, I had a random suicidal feeling/ haven’t felt that in years as if the child from back then confronted me again : I am 55- anyway will continue to live and learn from your videos - thank you 🙏❤️
Hi Drew,
Thank you for sharing your story and for your continued support of our content. I understand your concerns, and I want to reassure you that Wu Wei Wisdom is all about encouraging personal empowerment and freedom, never about enforcing rigid beliefs or behaviors.
Your practice of visualising and comforting your younger self is a powerful step in addressing past pain. It's not uncommon for deeply buried emotions to resurface when we work on these issues. That feeling you experienced could be a sign that there are still unresolved emotions from that time that need gentle attention.
Remember, the journey to understanding and resolving these feelings is a process, and it's important to be kind to yourself along the way. Continue to take things one step at a time, and know that you're not alone in this.
Kind Regards,
David
@@WuWeiWisdom thank you for such a wonderful sincere reply, made me a little emotional- will keep working on it 🙏❤️
I love this! Wish I could double this video.. I've been needing someone to tell me this for the longest time! Thank you! These videos are gold!
I just found your website and started watching a few videos. Wow! I learned so much already about healing my inner child. My child is so stubborn! I just didn't know how to talk to him to bring us together. I feel optimistic for the first time. It has been a long road for me. I also forwarded your site info to a few people I thought who could benefit. Thanks, David and Alex.
We're thrilled to hear that our content has been enlightening for you, especially on such a significant journey of healing your inner child. Recognising and nurturing that part of yourself is a brave and beautiful step towards wholeness. Thank you for sharing our work-it's the highest compliment we could receive. Keep embracing your journey, Regards David and Alex.
Watching this series .... wow .... its like someone turned the light on in the darkness of my life. THANK YOU
I MUST SAY, AFTER ALL THE SELF-HELP EDUCATION, AND THERAPY TOO, THESE VIDEOS HAVE NOT ONLY GRABBED MY ATTENTION, THEY HAVE ALSO HELPED TO BECOME FREE ME! THE FACT THAT YOUR PERSPECTIVE(S) IS COMING FROM BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, IT SYMBOLICALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE "PARENTAL" ASPECT.
I am stuck in that child mode some days and your video really helped me see the full scope of my power i possess for myself.
Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you..."
The Father's spirit is inside of each one of us. That's our shen. We've just forgotten who we are - children of YHWH.
My inner child is lazy and doesn't want to do the work, I'll make her watch these videos till the message gets through.
Hi Veronica C,
Thanks for your comments, I had to smile because I've never met a lazy Inner Child, stubborn, yes, not willing to engage, yes, but never lazy.
I believe your Inner Child is awesome and needs to be listened to and helped out of the pit she has dug.
The video will lower a ladder, then we have to persuade her it safe to climb out.

I WAS AFRAID OF BEING LAZY TOO, BUT THEN I HAD TO SEE MYSELF FROM A CHILD'S PERSPECTIVE. CHILDREN AREN'T LAZY. SOME ARE, HOWEVER, WEIGHTED DOWN FROM SELF-SABOTAGING.
David and Alex, your talk is great. My regards to both of you. Midway,while listening to both of you,when you taled about enlightenment and the child running the life. This is what I had been experiencing since childhood. I am now 71 yreaes of age, I attended vipasana meditation for 10 days twice .which i still practice. On each occassion , the aggitation or wounded child relaxed like chunk of ice falling down, when fountain is suddenly switched off. All relaxed, after whirrling inside . I felt I am like any other bird,tree and pond. There was no where to go. All was there . All relaxed. I am part of universe. I also practice TA and its 12 permissions.to self and others.I simly sharing. I want to live upto i dont know. But I love and paint, If I had not attended vipassana and TA, I would have died long ago.
Thank you so much, dear David and Alex for the wonderful insights. I am currently recovering from a horrible break up due to an affair I had. The younger me had the affair and is very angry. I am working with that inner child now to heal. Your videos are so enlightening!
I HAVE THE POWER AND THE ENERGY FOR THIS IT'S FLOWING THROUGH ME THE SHEN🏴🤩😍💖
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH guys for this useful, practical, compassionate, realistic and effective education 🎁 I appreciate the way you explain the “how to do it” with such depth and details !
This is a fantastic addition to other tools I use to help my inner child grow in a living yet firm way. I suffered many of my adult years with childhood emotional neglect that affected all my relationships including the one with myself.
On the way to recovery, step by step ... THANK YOU 🙏
12:40 i feel like the child 22:56 external validation "my parents never guided me" 28:00 dont allow self doubt to creep in
Can you show an example of what it looks like? If you are stuck in the past or if you believe you're unlovable. Is it just a mantra you repeat to yourself? Do you look in the mirror and chant? You write down your thoughts of yourself and why they are true/false? Etc
When we realize a child is running our life ... the word Alexandria was looking for is absolutely "profound"!!!
This has been me for the past 3-4 years and it’s been interfering with almost every aspect of my life. It’s making me question everything around me.
So i have been 9 for 18 years and always wondered why i didnt feel like an adult be i realize part of me is a child im healing her now im going back to moments that are with me on constant replay in my head and letting her know shes ok its not her fault giving her hugs and explaining its not her its her parents and thier issues projected on her i know see how the issues i have can affect my daughter and i dont want that im fixing me to be whole and a better mom #ps thank this is how you stop ruminating thoughts if i take away the misguided gult its over i understand what happen i couldnt stop as a child and give love to my inner child

Thank you for these videos. Soo helpful. I find my inner child so resentful and defiant when I talk to her. I’m waiting for approval to join the Facebook group.
You are so welcome! Kind regards, David.
Thank you very much for all the wisdom. I heard you saying not to waste time and money on counseling. That to me is not helping people and is wrong advise for who need to be helped in the direction they need to go and work with their belief systems to get to where they need to be. You are also counseling people and working with them in your way.
I have listen to this video 2 months ago but I am lead by to it why because now I am starting to understand more about my inner child I have got her to say she trust me two days ago but she come back yesterday talking to me about a situation that going on in my life she was trying to get me to have fear and doubt and be afraid that things was not going to work as planned I listen to her and I told her I am not afraid and she don't need to be either and I told her this morning I am in control and let me lead us and God the father and the Holy spirit is in control so she is now quite today not talk to me at all thank again David
Alex you are very smart and encouraging to David and the audience
Hi @EnlightenmentQueenElisheBA,
It's truly inspiring to hear about the progress you've made in understanding and communicating with your inner child. Your ability to reassure and lead your inner child, emphasizing trust, control, and faith, is a significant step towards inner harmony and confidence. This journey of dialogue with your inner self demonstrates a beautiful commitment to growth and self-love. Your practice of listening, responding with assurance, and asserting leadership in a gentle manner is a powerful approach to managing fear and doubt. Remember, this process is ongoing, and it's normal for the inner child to have moments of quiet and reflection. Your journey is an encouragement to many.
Kind Regards,
David

My inner child likes crying on any slight pain within and without.. she is touchy
My parents shouldn't have been so mean to eachother in front of me and my sisters. It seems that it caused damage of some sort to my inner child, finally trying to sort that out at 50 years old. They loved us, but they fought with eachother, violently at times. It caused in me a strong desire to avoid confrontation, and a sense of anxiety when situations get heated. The adult me hasn't been compassionate with the little me, I'll say things to myself like "don't be such a coward", putting on a bold face externally, while there's the young me inside just wanting everything to quiet down and be peaceful. They are both gone now, they died 4 days apart 8 years ago, wish I could talk things through with them, but that option is gone.
Hi, thank you for sharing such a personal story. It’s never easy to revisit the challenges of our past, especially when it involves the people we love. The desire to avoid confrontation and the inner conflict you're describing are understandable, given what you experienced. It's important to recognise that the adult you is now in a position to provide the care and guidance that your younger self was seeking.
Though your parents are no longer here, the opportunity for resolution lies within you. The past can’t be changed, but you can work to *resolve* the beliefs and patterns that have developed from those experiences. Rather than labeling yourself as a "coward," acknowledge the courage it takes to confront these issues now and gently guide yourself towards balance and acceptance.

Today I was listening to a self hypnosis session and found complete resistence from my inner child. This affirmation was the problem: "My positive emotions are currently getting stronger, my anxious negative emotions are getting weaker." This caused my child to feel shut down and I was not able to relax. Anyone else find they have to be very particular about affirmations or guided imagery sessions due to inner child feeling shut down?
This is great practical Wisdom. Realising that a 6 year old is driving a 60 something year old is really scary. Thank you both.
I had a number of traumatic experiences my whole childhood (neglect, physical/mental abuse, etc) and I have an entitled child in my heart that wants all the things I deserved as a kid, and also everything I deserve as an adult. And when I don't get my way, my conscious mind understands (but hates it) but then I hit a rock and I throw a temper tantrum and blame everything and everyone else. I'm so tired of feeling like a victim and playing the role. I need to stop it. Because it perpetuates. Done

Thank you so much! My life has been a wreck emotional this is exactly what I need!!
In my experience most people do not know how to be truly compassionate towards their friends and relatives. Compassion is a skill that we need to develop if it was not modeled for us.
Hi Psyche Revival,
Yes, developing the skill of compassion for yourself and others is very important.
David
Multiple teachers, we elevate each other and ourselves.💝🍁🌹🙏
Today I was seeking more advice and these videos are what I truly desired and have already joined the family on FACEBOOK as well... thank you 🙏🏾
My mother was manic hypomania. She left me with my dad at four years of age. It's a black hole .She came back into my life at ten she was a scold she scolded me for 5 + hours one day. Fritz Pearls spoke about an intro jected parent it took me until 32 to get a job and statt building self worth.
Does anyone else feel like they have multiple children?? Before This video I was telling my therapist that I feel like I have a little kid in charge when I’m having anxiety and I noticed a mothering figure that pops up every once in a while that talks to the little girl and tells her thank you for trying to help us but, I can handle this one. She is always so respectful and kind and compassionate. So I’ve been tapping into the motherly figure to relax my immature tendencies, but since then that little girl has calmed down but now I have this teenager “everyone and everything, is against me” kind of attitude and I keep having memories of when I was a preteen. I also have like a really young and venerable one and I do a weird baby voice, I feel like I’m losing it guys.
This reminds me of the pendulum, David describes. Perhaps by falling still, pausing we can observe which end we are, then rebalance using the compassionate part you really are.??
Wow love the example of the socket I knw I’ve done that all my life I wish I didn’t..I’ve exhausted myself looking for validation from others and realise I’ve only harmed myself
My inner child likes to stay safe by not moving forward. Wow. It is a great knowing!
Do y'all offer any how-to videos (i.e. exercises) in addition to talking about the work?
I enjoyed the first video - however feel that David's critical parent came out quite strongly in this video- which makes my inner child disengage - and how many times do I come with that overpowering energy towards myself? I am working on the parent child dynamic within and cultivating the 'nurturing parent'. For those interested look at the PAC (Parent - Adult - Child) model in psychology
I can’t believe my luck to have found this video , ye amazing 😉

After a series of stressors, my “parent” is off line. Please do a video on how to fortify the inner parent. You’ve suggested meditation to plug into shen - what are other practices of a good inner parent? I’m not sure instinct will be a reliable source - please elaborate on your discussion of parenting skills. Thank you for your helpful work!!
Your hair is looking great, Alex.
Ha!... thanks x
tnt looks like you have a long way to go with your therapy. Sarcasm is a sign that you cannot get close to people. Did you know that the bottom like to all this inner child stuff is the capacity for Intimacy. Intimacy of course starts with being close and intimate with your inner child.
@@ronbanks2010 I do not understand your comment. I think her hair looks pretty, so I let her know. There is no sarcasm in my comment.
@@ronbanks2010 So you don't like her hair lol :D
@@tnt01 hahaha I think he like me thought Alex is the man. And the comment was sarcasm directed at the man :)
I see no comments about david’s question. He said tell me why you are not awesome. I’ll go with mine. I cant do public speaking and i keep embarrassing myself at work. Its hard to believe i’m awesome when i cant even function on a zoom meeting. I dont know what to say to a child who’s going through this. All i can say is no matter what you can or cannot do i’m here loving you. But it doesnt want my love. It wants others people admiration and respect and just to be a normal person who can speak in front of people without having a heart attack. I dont know how to support my inner child on this one..😢
Hello, Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on our videos and work; we appreciate your interest. Thank you for attempting the answer, rephrase your answer; "I choose not to do public speaking".. Why? I choose to create the emotion of embarrassment at work" .. Why?

So I understand about babies come into the world as a ball of joy etc ... Babies also express when they're not happy about something IE; when they're tired, want to be picked up and so on .. Can you explain please David 😊
Hi @Reiaroma,
Great question! Indeed, babies come into the world with pure Shen spirit energy, embodying joy and natural spontaneity. Their expressions of discomfort-like crying when tired or needing closeness-are just simple signals. Babies haven’t yet developed attachments, beliefs, or judgments, so they respond directly to their needs in the moment.
As we grow, we start adding layers of learned beliefs and judgments to our natural Shen energy, which can cloud our authentic responses and lead to confusion or inner conflict. Wu Wei Wisdom teaches that by reconnecting with this original Shen spirit, we can learn to respond to life’s challenges with clarity and balance, rather than through the filters of conditioning.
Thank you for the question, and please do join our free Wu Wei Wisdom community if you’d like to explore more! facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity/
Kind Regards,
David

She maybe teaching us to care for ourselves too. I see her with love and compassion and what an opportunity.

James 1:8 "A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."
the mind in harmonious balance (with the 'shen' or spirit) is not unstable - this is wu wei ...and what all our teachings are about 🙂
This is very helpful. Thank you!

I've tried inner child work and at least 500 other methods to integrate the 17 year old inner child that has been running my life for over 30 years. I've been compulsive overeating as a coping method and willpower doesn't cut it for me. What advice or approach would you suggest in overcoming my impulses? I'm so tired of being a slave to my inner child's cravings. I desperately want to reclaim my power and start living my purpose. Thank you for your videos and insights.
Hi Nancy P,
Thanks for your comments, I'm pleased that our videos are helping on your journey.
The approach I would suggest is that you go past the 17 year old you as in my experience the core or main issues are created around the 6 to 9 years old.

thank you, this is a healing journey tha will change my life
These videos are incredible and so enlightening thank you so so much!!!!!
I’m not sure as my mom always abused me physically and verbally from an extremely young age. It’s no wonder my inner child rules me with such anger! My mom was such an angry parent! Incapable of loving me, etc. However, at about age 5, the knob on our gas stove was turned on right before we left to visit grandparents not far away. My dad was in bed sleeping as he worked the night shift. I’ve blocked most memory of this but I do recall the explosion and looking out the window seeing my house in complete fire and my mom running out the door toward our house while my grandma held me back from following. I was never blamed for turning the knob on but I hold that trauma. And anger has ruled my life for the past 66 years of my life. Where do I begin to reparent as right now my sweet, loveable inner June won’t talk to me or let me love her. Oh, I should tell you, every fiber of my being tells me my mother was the one who actually turned that knob on that gas stove.

Even if you did, in fact, turn that knob, you are still not responsible. You were 5! I wish you peace.
I understand I need to parent my inner child but don’t feel am capable of doing it as I have huge self doubt as I had no good role models as a child and they have left me believing I am not good enough at anything and I find it really hard after 47 years to not listen to the negative opinions of my parents even though I know they were wrong the way they neglected me or told me off etc and made me feel I’m not good enough, I’m unlovable , I’m a bad person as they shouted at me ,emotionally neglected me and have left me with such low self esteem depression and anxiety. How do I contradict the strongly held beliefs that my parents made me believe about myself and challenge them as Even as an adult I realise I am hoping my mother would one day turn around and say she loves me or is proud of me or well done but she doesn’t . I realise I’m still stuck as a child wanting my parents approval and never getting it and so just not even trying in life anymore , ie . Gave up jobs , stay indoors and don’t go out as I feel I’m not good enough to have friends , do nice things or have a happy life. How do you teach your inner child to stand up to their parents when your still scared of them and life like they made you feel.
Great video. It made me cry a bit. What are some steps we can take to heal the inner child completely...
Which minute do you actually start talking about how to overcome resistance of the inner child because I'm already convinced that I need to do take responsibility-I need the practical advice on how to do it not why I need to do it. I love your videos but please could you please be more specific?
This is brilliant advice in theory and I do believe we are all divine, but how do you do this when your life and full time job is about doing what is expected of you all the time and have no support network? There is no respite from it. I;m 58, have no energy left to do all this work. Family continue to be disfunctional. There is no time or energy or room for me. I'm exhausted, full of arthritis and worried to death about financial survival and the future. I think saying you can't be bothered to look after yourself tells me you have not experienced being constantly told and shown you're not good enough.
Love it. Thanks to you both. Straight to the point.
Thanks Jac! We like to keep things simple and practical 😀 x

thank you :) I was given a wu Wei book 2 1/2 years ago when I awoke; I wish I read it now :)
I've been controlled by my 8 year old inner child and Im now 16 years old. My inner child is really scared and emotionally damaged, and loves to stay on her "safe zone" (pretending its not happening and distracting myself with entertainment) which was my coping mechanism when I was being sexually abused at ages 5 to 8. When I started my spiritual journey on Dec 26, when I started watching this types if videos, especially about shadow work, my inner child would completely take over and I'd say "No, Im scared, I'm scared" repeatedly and crying, she(me) is scared of remembering what happened (I don't remember most my childhood because I repressed my sexual abuse memories, I only remember one time when I was 8)
I am so sorry that happened to you but proud you are so brave and trying to heal. You WILL get there
Do I have to know what age my inner child is?
Another great video! Thanks so much. 💜
Glad you enjoyed the video Keli! Your support is appreciated :-) Alex + David x
I like the analogy to the fruitcake. It I don't get the extra cherry, I am still happy and enough. Tks. 🙏
I talk with my children as my bestfriend not like a child. That's they are feeling matured we Always talk i always give affection if made mistake i give her hugs and kisses and say sorry for what action
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing Mary 😊
This is gold. Thanks.
Hello and thank you for this. Could you please tell us how to work with the inner child when dissociation is present?
Hi, I've come to realize that my inner child has been running the show. Thing is, I've messed things up majorly in recent decisions and I feel I lost time and opportunities. How can I get back on track in time and still do my projects? Is it possible to do all at once? What is a realistic time frame?
Hi Melanie,
Thank you for your question. As you will appreciate it is difficult for me to give you a realistic timeframe for this work as I have no idea of your history or background around the issues that we will be addressing.
What we suggest to all of our clients is to book an introductory session where you can experience the Wu Wei wisdom process for yourself. At the end of that session we will both be in a better position to work out a realistic timeframe and a roadmap going forward.
I hope that gives you the information that you were seeking and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch our videos and to comment.
David
Thank you both so much for this sharing this wonderful knowledge
When you said we won't tell to a physical child that it is bad etc. And I thought "But that how I was told as a child.". After all, my parents think they only "cared" about me.
Hi jaga690,
I say YOU would not say that to your physical child, therefor don't say it to yourself! Regardless of what your parents said to you.
Connect to your 'Shen' (higher-self) and take full self-responsibility to live your life with truth and integrity.
David
Thank you for your beautiful videos - I keep hearing mention of the golden thread as a method of self inquiry - but only partial examples of how to do this- do any of your videos address the GoldenThread more fully and provide examples of the Golden Thread in action
Thanks for sharing! Kind regards, David.
Great video it's like you can read my mind.
Validation is important. It feels like a hole... some people learn about reparenting later in life. I had to learn all this things because depression took over... it’s not as simple as it seems.
SELF-validation of you and your Inner-Child is vital!
Have you watch our video on self-love yet? ruclips.net/video/-IRP62paGZE/видео.html
