#WuWeiWisdom #DavidJamesLees #GoldenThreadProcess
Alot of people dont realise just how powerful and life changing this work is. It deconstructs your conditioning and can be very painful, but the rewards are far reaching and expansive, far more than most therapies.
What is the actual advice though? I get the child analogy but what are the actual steps to address the inner child?
@@atl3630 you can address by talking out ur feelings, or writing out what you feel and read it again as if it is a child telling you that i felt all this ways, and you address them and think as an adult person about how you would address these issues when a 6 year old tells them to you and what advices you are gonna give them or how to console him or her😊
@@atl3630 Yes I have the same question - perhaps it is to go through the Golden Thread Process. Have you watched the Golden Thread Videos and tried this process?
This is the most in depth therapy I’ve ever had!
I am in my 60s and my inner child has been in control most of my life. She is wounded badly and always felt she had to die because she is not perfect nor worthy or deserving and gets things wrong. This video has helped immensely. Thank you for all you do ❤️
I think your little girl is awesome!
Boy . I relate
@@WuWeiWisdom
I have seen such a change in myself over the past month. Never thought it would happen. Thank you.
That's great news Sharon - well done and thank you for sharing! x
These materials are truly priceless, thank you so much for putting in the work ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@WuWeiWisdom hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhr da
When I'm having doubts about something I am asking myself how would a caring, loving parent treat their child in this situation and act accordingly. Much easier said than done but it's still pretty effective !

I just discovered your videos... My God, where have you been all my life. Finally everything is making sense. I feel a shift inside myself after only 2 hours already. Please keep up the good work. You both make a really good team.
I was brought to tears by this episode. I am so glad I found you guys, I've been able to answer SO many questions that I've carried like a ball and chain since childhood, ever since I stumbled across your very first inner child video two years ago... Thank you so much for what you both do! 💖
Kristen, it is a pleasure and privilege to be able to support you and our RUclips followers. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. x

Amen to what you just said! I just stumbled upon them too, and they answered questions I have, as we speak, regarding the terribly emotional aftermath following a relationship breakup. This breakup happened 9 months ago, and I’m still struggling to reconcile my emotions. I’m now convinced my “inner child” was devastated! He (I) felt abandoned, very vulnerable, and left unsafe. These people are amazing! I now know I have to console, soothe, and parent my inner child with love, and compassion. As a team we will get through this. I’m so appreciative of the message these people have given us! Thank you!!!
Sending you good wishes.
It took me a long time to realize my inner talk was the problem. Now my life has totally changed!
I am 73 and my inner child has controlled me for so long. Your videos have given me hope and I am going to keep watching and learning

I have spend so much money in books about his subject and couldn’t get it. Two videos with You and here I am the happiest ever finding my way to my healing 👏🥰❤️thank you for contributing to heal this world, this society.
I know this was 2 years ago, but the way he talks really feels like I have a child in front of me who I need to feed hahaha
in some way, it helps a lot to see it like this. I really want this child to be happy
I got in touch with my innerchild through hypnotherapy meditation. it helped me to connect with my inner child. Later I listened to reparenting meditation videos of self-love for many days before sleeping which helped me to heal my wounded inner child. Tks🤗
Thanks for sharing! Kind regards, David.
I am awesome! Thank you for reminding me that the wisdom truly is inside. I never had responsible parenting, and for 60 years my inner child has run everything.

Thank you
I believe only by noticing and journalling our self talk or what our inner child keeps telling us can we gradually course correct and start the process of self-doubt disciplining the inner child. Being aware of our own self talk is so important to help us to make changes towards self growth and authenticity.🙏
My spirit guide lead me here. For me to ascend, I am to undergo innerchild work. Let's go 💯
Just love this beautiful couple. They’re so in tune and Alex is David’s

I love meditation, that actually helped me heal by taking my inner child by the hand and leading him to see his true adult self... ME!
Yes, meditation practice can be very powerful Jason. It's good to hear that it is helping you!
For 38 yrs I've thought there was something wrong with me, that I was unlovable, I've just discovered my parents were narcissists, big relief but at the same time I'm tryin to heal
Same
The why I'm here? ... I need to re-connect to the idea that this work is important ... and I really need help with being compassionate firmness ... Thank you and Thank you to everyone doing this work ... Many blessings ... for a good day and great journey, eventually

@@WuWeiWisdom Thank you, I signed up
I started doing stage 1 things in order to develop self-love and a better mental health but then I found myself giving in to my inner child when she stated "See, they don't love you" and unfortunately, she was right. She grew stronger, took the control, a lot of conflicts took place but I know, I need to reparent myself. I lost every bit of confidence and good habits that I gained in stage 1 and more & more insecurities started flooding over as she took control. It'll take a lot of time and huge amount of efforts but I know, I'm gonna make her feel safe and loved. So grateful to you that you helped me to understand my situation and guided me. Thanks a lot for being there.
I just got done with a rather good year of DBT and am now working on a life worth living for. Having a source that understands that world & the Way is invaluable to me. Thank you so!

To me this is your best video. Your teachings should be taught in schools so that we are given the tools to be able to deal with lifes twists and turns from early on. Thank you both very much
Hi @oliverroy19,
Thank you for such a high compliment on the video! It's heartening to hear you believe these teachings could benefit many, starting from an early age. Your acknowledgment fuels our motivation to spread positivity and practical wisdom further. We truly appreciate your support and are grateful for your suggestion. Your feedback is a valuable part of our journey to reach and assist more individuals in navigating life's complexities.
Kind Regards, David.
My inner child was conditioned at an early age by a narcissistic mother who didn’t notice me and my needs. It was all about me being her parent and being complaint to her needs ,so I became virtually invisible so as not to cause any problems, I tried so hard to make sure she approved of me but i was never good enough, so I’ve spent my whole life thinking I had to be good so that people would like me, one therapist told my inner child was making me anxious and scared because it was trying to protect me from not making mistakes again, so this is where I struggle, my parents put so much pressure on me to be how they wanted to be, so I’m terrified and wake up anxious afraid of what pressures the day will bring, even though my parents are long,
I understand.
I totally identify with you. We can do this..
This is the start of a new journey with me, for a long time now I've allowed the inner child to take control, being petrified that it can't trust anyone and that what happened to me was my fault, and that no one was there for me when I needed them the most which led to me being completely isolated for years, which has caused me to have so many problems now with so much critical self talk, trying to scream at them when it starts talking to me but all it was doing was making it worse and frightened so this is a completely new start where I am starting to practice everything you guys are teaching that I can't be my own worst enemy and I know its going to take a long time but watching these episodes are definitely starting to make me understand that the past does not define me and that I can be there for my inner child when no one ever was.
These videos are exactly what I've been searching for!! I've finally stepped onto the road to truly loving myself and I had a therapist, but she couldn't help me described what was causing my self sabotage... She kept telling me that I just had to make better decisions and everything would eventually be fine...... and I kept telling her I felt like I was missing something and I had to work on that thing first because I wasn't getting over the 'hump' so to speak. Thank you sooo much for putting this information out for consumption. It is greatly appreciated!! 🥰🥰🥰
Every time I tried to talk to a therapist they almost immediately tried to steer me to meds and psychiatrists. I told them I wanted to find and correct the root problem and that I was willing to do the work but they apparently they were not. I felt they just wanted to be paid to listen. My friends listen and give good advice so the therapist was expensive and useless. The therapists were not able to care as they had to remain dispassionate and distant I assume hearing people's problems all day.
I just discovered your channel after stumbling across inner child videos. And as there are no accidents or coincidences I am on the right path. Thank you I am learning and understanding so much more about my thoughts and behaviour. I am in my 50’s now and am happy to be on this journey. You two are gorgeous 😍
Your right there is no such thing as coincidence
at the right time really. :)
Spirit will only let you experience life lessons you are able to handle . This sentence gave me always trust and comfort😊. Thank you. So happy I connect myself with your wisdom. I can continue making my life puzzle❤❤

I understand what you are teaching us in this video about the inner child. And I see how in the past I have usually never been present when my inner child is resisting so she has most always gotten her way, i.e., I am not awake in the moment to take control and go against the resistance, I am asleep at the crucial moment. What I fear so much now is that I have dug myself into such a whole that I do not see a way out and on top of that I don't believe that I will be able to be present when and if the opportunity might present itself, I don't even know what that opportunity would be at this point in my life and whether I would even recognize it.

Massive eye opener... I think this happens when you get parents who don't know how to parent or aren't interested in doing it. You end up parenting yourself, and it doesn't go well..lol proof positive here. What's sad is that they obviously didn't get compassionately parented either. Generation after generation of pain.
Hi @patcummings6950,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s true that when parents haven’t learned how to parent with compassion and understanding, they often unintentionally pass down unresolved issues from one generation to the next. Recognizing this cycle is a powerful first step toward breaking it, as you can begin to cultivate a deeper understanding and self-compassion within yourself. This way, you can parent yourself in a way that aligns with your true Shen spirit and begin to change the path forward.

Amazing the best advice on RUclips for healing childhood trauma, looking forward to the next one! Love to you both & everyone watching x
Jason, thanks for your kind feedback. It's great to her that the teachings are resonating with you. David
Agreed ❤️
Just first 3mins of explanation took me back to childhood n my inner child started crying coz i lost my father n the child missed him n thought something is wrong with me that's why he left 😭😭😭
I am beginning my own journey on parenting myself. This video was God sent! So far I got part one down now I need two and three.
Yes, bringing the inner child along with me in my adult mind instead of me believing I am the inner child. This is similar to enjoying observing thoughts from a distance. Essentially, you are not your thoughts, you are aware of your thoughts. You are not your emotions, you feel your emotions. You are not your body, you look at it in the mirror and experience this world through its eyes and ears. You are the conscious being that is aware that you are aware of all these inner and outer things. I have many more wuweiwisdom websites to tune into and you both speak so well and excellent body language, no umms and purposeful intonation. You have both found your purpose in life.
I have been in stage one for years. And nothing has changed for me. Now i know i need to go to stage 2 to help my inner child understand our new beliefs and emotion.
Amazing video, or should I say awesome 😎 . All of the wu wei wisdome teachings should be in school as a subject 😅 … every human being should be aware about these great wisdom teachings. I can’t believe that David your really spent 30 years in the Chinese mountains, I can’t process that yet that’s a looooong time and you are awesome.🥳
Thank you David and Alex so much for your work. Love you guys ❤️

Thank you so much.. this is helping me so much. This afternoon I was in a locked up emotional state in public until I remembered your talk about what you said that the inner child wants to be seen, heard, and loved, and I realized I was ignoring my inner concerns as usual or brushing them off. Immediately, I recognized and made contact with my inner child and my body and mind experienced immediate relief! Then I started to take a noble, easy, compassionate position and talking internally to myself every time some thought came up, and my heart leap.. My plan is to keep going with the outlook of accepting things as they are, guiding my inner child gently and reassuring myself about the possibility of succeeding in what we want to do together and I already feel stronger and looking forward to the future. Thank you again so much.
💚❤ I've never seen this topic dealt with so well before. ❤💚
I never realised that my very own child who I was so lucky to parent for 11 years of my life. Actually taught me about my inner child. In the almost 6 years I haven't been able to see him. I've been dealing with lessons that he taught me. How to parent myself with the tantrums that I throw at myself from time to time.
💚❤

Thanks for the great video. It is not easy to do this work for the Inner Child or to be the Parent of the Inner Child. Since 1963, books and authors have appeared on this subject, but I think which of these books is what allows better work in less time possible to achieve results. People want peace, happiness and harmony. It is one thing to talk about this work of the Inner Child and another to know what to do. Step by step. Clear instructions are required. Thanks for your help.
I want to stop hurting my self I vow to follow ur videos n promise to do the work
I am not sure where I am in all of this, or in this process.
Parent died eleven months ago.
Have done a lot of work, which I had to, but this deeper work awaits.
Other than survival and resiliency, completing university educations somehow, everything past age 12 is completely off.
I’ll be starting from scratch here shortly, aged 53, near 54.
Thank you for this resource.
This year I've had two dreams where I see myself fully happy, confident and self loving. I feel so light and free in those dreams but when I wake up I feel heavy.
I just found your videos and I plan to watch them all and learn and heal. I want to become that version of myself, I love her and truly admire her and I think those dreams are a reminder that it is possible.
I also love the idea of holding yourself accountable, it makes perfect sense and puts things into perspective.
Thank you so much for the advice and wonderful videos!
I must say I absolutely love ur videos. They r so deep and informative. Keep up the gr8 work. I always look forward to ur videos ❤

So many people gravitate to spiritual groups to find the Shen, and they are actually FULL of people who are also looking for the Shen and HAVEN'T FOUND IT, so the meetings end up being an energy orgy with NO self- parenting involved at all. Attendees leave feeling traumatized again and confused because they were, again, looking to a "parent" (leader) to hold them and it didn't happen. . So important for these groups to be led by facilitators that KNOW this and can address this with attendees to bring loving boundaries and empowerment to these spiritual groups.
I JUST TOOK SO MANY NOTES ON THIS. WHAT A FANTASTIC AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE. YOU SPEAK WITH SUCH PASSION & CARE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY HOPE THIS WORKS FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR FAR TOO LONG. GOD BLESS YOU!
This is what I have needed for so long. Thanks for putting it out there.

David, I'm 76 and finally seeing the real problem and the way to address it. Unreal. So grateful.
So glad I found you guys. As I work on ‘reparenting my own inner child’ i can even see how this is going to help me to cope with my thirteen year old, to gently persevere and not be disheartened at the first hurdle 👍🏽👍🏽.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - we appreciate your support.
Yes, the Inner Child parenting skills are transferable to your own physical child.

These videos are fantastic. After sifting through a lot of unhelpful videos on RUclips I'm so happy happy I came across these videos by Alex and David. They are so helpful and clear and gives me hope. Thank you.
Inner child is such a good terminology it makes it neither an enemy nor a friend, How do you stop the judgmental part, that is judging people and the self by appearance? would love if you could put a video specifically on appearance judgment and it's relatedness to inner child and how to love your own appearance. Coming from a culture that is obsessed with appearance and looks as if we are on a modelling stage of who gets the approval stamp.
So glad for this video because it answered the question I asked myself. How can I reparent my inner child when I didn't do such a great job with my own children? I didn't have the tools, the understanding, the maturity to be a proper parent. So what I'm hearing is, do the inner work, let your no's be no and your yes be yes, know what boundaries are and limits, what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior, learn to take responsibility and be an adult before I take on my inner child. Ages 6-9 is indeed where I feel a great deal of emotional damage took place. I feel almost ecstatic to have found your teachings so direct and clear! Alex puts a voice on those overwhelming feelings, emotions, thoughts. You work well together! David, these are the life lessons explained that I feel I missed growing up in a dysfunctional family. Thank you for the wisdom, the encouragement, and especially unconditional love.
Based on your videos I bought a few books about self-esteem self-confidence self-love and self-discipline as well as mindfulness. I bought them in 2017 and refer to them often.
Another beautiful video on retraining our inner child. I literally feel like a huge weight has been lifted from how I used to feel. It's safe to say that everyone who watches your videos loves you both and are grateful we found you.. I wish it had been years earlier. Lol.
You are so welcome! Kind regards, David.
Thank you for your teachings. They have truly changed my life. If possible, would you do a video about acceptance? My shen tells my inner child the reality of life and the life lesson of acceptance but my inner child does not want to accept it even though she knows it is true.
Hi @veratsai4557,
It's wonderful to hear that our teachings have had such a positive impact on your life! Thank you for sharing your experience and for suggesting a video on acceptance. It's a significant topic, especially when there's a struggle between your Shen spirit and your inner child in embracing life's realities. We'll definitely consider creating content around this theme to help navigate such challenges. Remember, understanding and patience can bridge the gap between resistance and acceptance.
Kind Regards,
David
I think its such a hard process because we have to really face that although our parents were doing their best, it was f*****d up some of the stuff they let us go through. The hardest part is , now being parent, thinking to yourself that you would never ever do 1/10 of those things to your own child.
Excellent teaching! Thankyou both very much for your practical steps. My inner child and I are at step 2 now and we are slowly becoming a team😊 Its also fun and step by step I am noticing the benefit from your teachings and your practise❤
Hi @arjaloggers4509,
It's wonderful to hear that you and your inner child are making progress and enjoying the journey! Each step brings you closer to understanding and harmony. Keep embracing the process with that positive spirit, and thank you for your kind feedback on our teachings.
Kind Regards,
David
Can u give me some advice from your experience.
I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy to have met you in youtube. Guys, you are amazing. You are helping us alot. I thank you so much. I wish i had money, I would have donated alot of it to you... Amazing work..and amazing guidance ..full of truth and healing 💖 May God bless you and your family and may you reach millions and billions of views and subscriptions in the future 💖💖💖
The perfect compliment to the golden thread technique is self help CBT, wherein you challenge the uncovered belief/interpretation by identifying "thought distortions", and seeing for yourself how grossly untrue many of these beliefs are.
thankyou, on my way🙏❤❤to greater emotional maturity and connection. Blessing to you and your care for others🙏❤
Hi Maria Richards, thanks for sharing your thoughts! We value your support. Alex + David x
I am looking forward to doing the work & getting the results of a healthier adult. My dad died when i was 6, then economically we were strained, so i was taken to a public school where i was bullied emotionally, & physically. At the same school, i was abondoned by my then bestfriend. She said she wanted nothing to do with me, almost out of nowhere. Meanwhile at home, my mother was very mean, negative & unnouturing...and my brother had schizophrenic episodes that which had me living under a looot of stress as a child.
I must say, i made this comment while 10minutes into the video. I have now at the end of the video (even though i am glad and proud of myself for sharing my story for the first time), that i can accept, teach my inner child new lessons and practice compassionate decipline.
Thank you for making this video.
Youre strong and beautiful, for going through that time and still being able to stand on your own feet🙏
Tears. I feel validated. Thank you.
Thank you for making this message possible for us and amen have a great thanksgiving day and I love and enjoy this message possible 😻
You are so welcome. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on our videos and work; we appreciate your interest. Kind regards, David.
David This is Amazing I am Taking Notes Working Reprograming The Inner Child. AWARENESS I LOVE THE FORK ON THE ROAD TAKE IT BACK. TO THE AUTHENTIC SPIRTUAL SELF. THIS IS WHAT I HAVING BEEN SEEKING FOR YEARS. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH💖😍🌹🌺🙏🏴
Glad it was helpful! Kind regards, David.
Thank you thank you thank you. Finally to have clarity and a path to follow. I'm looking forward to parenting myself so that my life reflects my adult desires and goals. You are both gems.
I love you guys... you guys really helped me at a time when I didn't know what was wrong.. The fact that y'all are making these videos for HSP are awesome.... God bless you two.
Hey Brandon, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. :) x
It makes so much sense when approaching your inner child after letting it tug while you ignore it. I actually developed TMJ trying to ignore it. So weird.
April, when we suppress or avoid emotions it can manifest with in many types physical health issues. We're glad our videos are helping you :) Alex + David x
Thank you so much for putting up these videos! Currently would say I am in Stage 2 but still dealing with Stage 1 this is so needed. I've hit sort of a rock bottom and super determine to address my inner child. I love you two as a duo, the back and forth and summarization really solidifies concepts
You can do this Becky - we believe in you! Alex + David x
Since the inner child is you, the determination they have is actually the determination YOU have.
as a marathon runner, I appreciated the analogy to marathon running! This is so helpful already. Hard work to rewire the brain but I can see it will be worth it. Many thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Kind regards, David.
Alexandra, David what can i say? Amazing job. It's hard to find these videos because, for example me, i started to finally trying to heal myself at 25 and it took me 5 months to first heard about the term "inner child", that's a pretty term, as David said, compared to subconscious mind, inner self, ect..
I think this video is really helpful for whom struggle with social anxiety, GAD, or wheteaver. Please add all these tags in the video as a person with anxiety disorders may never found this content as the main word here is "Inner Child" and many people probably still don't know what it is. They maybe reach meditation, CBT, gratitude videos but neither of them treat the problem from the source, they dont talk about the the root cause. Maybe its just my case but i really feel Davids words when he talks about this child taking over for most of our life and one day, when be become aware of that we want it to stop. Just understanding that and taking responsibility for my inner abused child has been a game changer. Thank you guys.
This video is a masterpiece. Clear and simple. It should get so many more visits. Thank you lady and gentleman for your detailed and eloquent explanation of the Inner Child.
I was disappointed and impatient that this Inner Child thing was not really doing it for me, but thanks to your video I’ve regained trust in the process.
I hope to watch more videos from you two. I am amazed at how much I have learnt just from this. I have alot of work to do on my inner child but thank you for sharing this. I needed it

Brought tears to my eyes & so glad I discovered you both. Brilliant video and I think this gave better advice than any other therapy, counselling, related stuff! Just out of interest, in order to master stage 1 with the self-talk, in what ways do you do this exactly? As in, do you write down, with full integrity, positive affirmations and qualities that you believe you have and/or do you even just say them to yourself in the mirror in the morning, or at bed time, or during some meditation? Just what ways in particular might be the most effective in helping combat any of this negativity. X
Hello Savannah,
Thank you for your comments we are very pleased that you found our video helpful and inspiring.
In answer to your question on how to master stage one, the underlying teaching is that you must not "lie" to yourself.
In that first stage you must work at clearing all of the "maze of confusion" and "carousel of despair" self talk. This would also include what we call #CCJ , i.e. do not compare criticise or be judgemental about yourself or anyone else.
If writing or completing a journal is authentic for you then that is a really good idea. But as you said it has to be done with your full integrity, honesty and truthfully. Speaking to yourself in a mirror for some of our clients is very helpful but again with the qualities I just mentioned.
I personally would recommend meditation, and we have several meditations on our RUclips that you could try and see if they are helpful during this very important first stage:
ruclips.net/p/PL9NQ_PWX4zIA12P7BftG6a18lIWFDjL35
I hope that gives you enough information to get going on your first stage. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time and trouble in watching our videos and adding your comments.

Hi David,
Thank you so much for your response, this is incredibly helpful and I’m very grateful.
It has been tough working part-time and studying, all whilst going through things emotionally and wanting more time to work on yourself and your past. But, it’s videos and advice like this that helps individuals like myself, and it’s even more of a reason to master that first stage.
I shall check out the meditation and groups later on. Also going to subscribe now!
Best wishes,
Savannah
@@smithyy58762 you're welcome!
I find the works by Louise Hay and Dr Bernie Siegel really helpful to correct negative self-talk. Lots available for free here on RUclips.
Thank you so much for doing these videos, this one in particular has really changed my life. I do have one comment though and please don’t take it the wrong way but as I’m listening Alex keeps interrupting David when he’s making a point, And she just goes on and on basically saying the same thing he did except the long version. I would love to see David do one of these videos by himself. He has so much to teach us and I’m not really sure why Alex is in these
Thank you so much appreciate beyond words filled with gratitude

Thank God I found you guys... I'll do it.
1st day of my self journey 🤞
I love all your videos on the inner child work. Can you give an example of a behavior or emotion of the inner child that we would want to reparent? Thank you both, all your help has made me understand myself so much better and realize that childhood trauma has so much to do with the way I was before.
Any thought or belief that is out of balance and so creates red light emotions (anger, stress, hopelessness, anxiety etc) within you is worthy of exploration though self-enquiry to see if it is caused by the inner child and can be resolved through reparenting work x
Good morning all..listening to this video helped me heal..it's so amazing how information heals...
Good morning to you Jackie!

Hi @noonespecial4171,
Indeed, the Karaniya Metta Sutta is a beautiful and powerful practice, emphasizing the importance of loving-kindness. It beautifully complements the teachings of the Tao in fostering compassion and understanding both within ourselves and towards others. Thank you for sharing, and may your practice continue to bring you peace and insight.

How Can we know (My son is 12 years old now) what inner child work needs in My child?
I know as a parent I did make mistakes as I'm not perfect.
I'm helping myself and want to help my son.
Thank you for your videos.
I learned so much.
Thank you.
Hi Sadagat,
Thank you for your kind comments, we are pleased that you are enjoying our videos.
I would suggest that you work on making our relationship with your son open, honest and full of integrity. The most effective way to teach children is by example and inspiration.
Let him observe Mom addressing life's twist and turns with flexibility and ease, learning from mistake not being negative and judgemental.
I'm sure that you and your son will go on from strength to strength.

Thank you so much for creating this series. You're helping me to live my fullest life. I wish this is what people should be watching and emotionally educating them with. And apologies if I shouldn't say this, but I feel little distracted by the female host as she gives the energy of constantly wanting him to finish and waiting for her turn or to say her thoughts by interrupting. It's distracting my focus from the real content. It seems like a struggle than being casual. I'd be grateful if you can tailor a structure or smooth transition. With Love🙏🏾💕

Hello, great video!!! I was just wondering if you had some practical examples to step 1 (Self Discipline), and how to start off and getting yourself prepared to starting to re-educate the inner child,
Thank you very much!!
If it helps, Getting in touch with your Shen I found the "brain & heart cohesion/connection " helpful . To experience it for the first time, I was told to close my eyes and bring up some object, or place that brings me only joy, like holding a favorite past stuffed toy or sitting on a beach or favorite outdoor spot. After a few minutes, become aware of where in your body you 'feel" that joy. Also Greg Brandon's videos ruclips.net/video/T8aelrtzaSo/видео.html or Dr Joe Dispenza's videos on the topic seem helpful.
If part two, the discipline. If the "inner child" analogy is not your thing, you could look up Dr Joe Dispenza's videos on that too.
Compassionate self discipline for our inner child. Be prepared for the resistance. Thanks for such helpful content.🙏
