Our inner child is not a younger version of ourselves residing within us. It refers to the neglected and suppressed emotions seething in our bosom. None of us know how to deal with our emotions due to the singular lack of role models in the world today. Hence we brutally suppress and neglect our emotions which then sink beneath our awareness and color our every word and deed. The bureaucrat denies his greed but demands substantial illegal gratification to push the papers on his desk. The old man claims to be enlightened while secretly sexually exploiting young girls under him.
Emotions are usually expressed without control by young children and immature adults. Hence, our emotions are labeled as our inner child. These emotions carry the scars of every wound and slight we suffered from our childhood to the present. But getting our revenge is not the way to heal our inner child. On the contrary lovingly embracing our emotions as we would a little child is the right way to heal it. In the present times, we are terrified of our own emotions. We do our best to hide and fake them. For instance the angry employee suppresses his anger and pretends to help in the presence of his manager. The jealous woman pretends to be caring and friendly.
Embracing our emotions involves feeling them fully. This does not mean throwing a temper tantrum or making openly sexual gestures at women. It requires us to feel the emotion completely but not do anything it suggests. Can I, as a man, feel my lust clearly rising in my bosom even as I steadfastly refuse to make sexual remarks or try to grope the young woman standing close to me? Can I, as a woman, feel my jealousy clouding my vision as I see that stunningly beautiful girl but refuse to make any disparaging remarks at her. Can I allow my anger to well up but never say a harsh word to anybody?
If we can master the art of feeling freely and allowing our emotions to flow out unhindered, our inner child calms down. Healing here involves only feeling. There is nothing to do but to feel.
