Re-awaken your inner child

Dreams live within us, but sometimes we forget what they are. To awaken or re-awaken your inner child is to give yourself back the freedom to explore the things that mean the most to you.  When was the last time you created an environment to just be you?

You may say, "adults do adult things." But, what does this mean? Are you often serious and focused? Do you allow yourself to smile? Do you hear echos of laughter that bubble up from within yourself? When did you last give your facial muscles a work-out?

Tapping into your inner self involves opening up to let feelings flow. In order to realize how you truly feel toward life situations, you need to experience them with your body and soul.  Dreams appear compatible with how you perceive yourself from inside. 

If you don't know your inner child, that innocent, loving part of you that is untainted by external influences, its less likely you'll uncover what truly means the most.  The reassuring thing is that anyone can become reaquainted with who they really are.

I watched two Disney movies this weekend. The Golden Compass was about a girl named Lyra. I thought of you often. She too tapped into realms beyond the obvious.

Waterhorse was the other movie. Both of them are magical. Both engage my childlike imagination and willingness to believe.

Harmony, children remind us to listen to our instincts, to voices echoing from the depths of our soul. These voices prompt us to take action in ways that enable us to feel good. We can draw from courage and other traits and skills that we temporarily forgot we have.

Great post Liara!
Rediscovering your inner child leads to a world of opportunities. Children a natural explorers.

I have to tell you ... I sincerely feel like we are born into this world precisely how we are supposed to be. Then, life puts itself upon us, doing what it does, blah blah blah. You grow up with habits and behaviors, as a result of those hardships, and when you are an adult and your spiritual journey begins ... perhaps the goal is to return to what were you like when you were a child. That's how it feels for me!

Donna, I also sense we are as we are to invite us to reflect about the underlying reasons. Life can be seen as a state for infinite learning. We learn what we're ready to learn.

Bruno, as we tap into that explorer part of our soul, we reconnect with insticts that are connected with perceived survival, with creativity and life-changing resourcefulness.
