PRIMAL FEELINGS
Healing the Inner Child
Keep me away from the wisdom which
does not cry,
The philosophy which does not laugh
and the greatness which does not bow
before children.

This is a work of initiation into becoming a full adult human being. It is a journey for consciously re-create the safe, loving and welcoming space we all needed as a child.
Together we embrace and heal our past wounds and our natural energy, so that the essential qualities of our souls can fully manifest – as our body, emotions, sense of self, and connection with life.
Most of the difficulties we find as adults, in relating to people, to life and to ourselves has its origin in the first seven years of our lives. At those early ages – when we didn’t receive the love, care and touch that is every child’s primary need, and instead have been punished, not accepted or neglected – we create protective layers in order not to feel the hurt.
Those layers – that manifests in our physical, emotional and mental bodies – cover our essential qualities and the true potential we are all born with.
In this course, we are going to reconnect our child’s energy – which are emotionally younger parts of us that still lives in our body and psyche. When we are not conscious about these younger selves they create a great variety of symptoms that touches every areas of our lives. These energies are waiting to be seeing, recognized, felt and integrated in our adult’s consciousness.
This process involves going back to the past, consciously, within an ambiance of support and loving care of the group structure.
We are going to meet as well the energy of our parents and caretakers from our childhood, which are also memories (implicit and explicit) that tends to remain frozen in our system. As we meet these places inside, movement becomes possible, creating the possibility to complete unfinished situations from our past and liberating our energy for the present moment.
In order to heal we need to feel the feelings that have been buried by the protective layers we have intelligently created not to feel the pain, at times when we were too small to cope and didn’t have as much resources and possibilities as we have today. Therefore this can be an emotional process, that is also very touching and liberating – to free and regain the energy of the primary feelings and emotions that were our first language as a small child.
When we give space and recognition to our “Inner Child” and its needs, it doesn’t need to act out its wounds in our present daily life.
After the seminar I feel filled with new energy. I’m quieter, more confident, and I work with balance and calm. I learned how to make it even better with my parents. I’ve been working on the subject a lot. And now I can look at all of this with adult eyes and I’m not stuck in childhood traumas.
An important part of the work is to contact our “mature wise adult”.
This is a part of every human being that embodies the universal love and care of existence, it has always been, and will always be whole.
From this perspective, we connect with our “inner child”, support its process and take care of its needs.
We take responsibility for our lives and start seeing the experiences from the past as possibilities to grow, and we learn to give space and absorb in our system the aliveness, spontaneity, freshness, emotional connection and creativity of our essential energy.
