The Reparenting Journey

Reconnect with your Inner Child

To be a conscious parent to our children we need to understand how much reparenting we need ourselves. If clients get the question "Why did you have children?" the answer starts in 98% of all cases with: "I..." Thus, we are almost 100 % in Ego, we want kids because we are etc...

The good thing is, that as soon as the children are present, we soon realise that the "I" needs to step back. Luckily, since every child on this earth comes to us to teach us something, they can be seen as our spirituel teachers. The confrontation with the own "inner child" will happen sooner or later. Children are a direct mirror to our own soul and that is why they manage to unlock our own "inner child" in a very effective way. But how much of our own "inner child" is left? And how much of our own "inner child" has already been taken care of and can react appropriately with love, respect, compassion, and consciousness to our children? Often, we realise that a lot of our own "inner child" is left within us, and we react accordingly to our children and their behaviour. That is not unusual, but it is enormously healing and helpful if we understand that this is the case and why it is. We can reparent our own "inner child" and give the love and care to certain subjects within us which we might have not received in our childhood. (This is not a blame game to our parents!) It is an exciting and healing process to go on this journey and a huge step toward a more conscious parenthood. The new year is upon us- Now is the time!
