Today I was going to offer you a journey into your inner child, your inner parent. We, each one of us, have an archetype or series of archetypes inside of us. An inner child is only one such archetype. I find that it is quite impossible to heal your inner child unless you address the aspect of your inner parent. Very often, our inner parent is absent or perhaps, being in some way neglectful of our inner child and therefore we're looking for that unconditional love, that unconditional acceptance from external figures such as our parents, but, it is very important for us to learn to parent ourselves first. This is not to say that your relationships with your parents are not important, because they are, but it also starts from within.
