INNER CHILD PLAY

Spring is around the corner. This is time for new beginnings. When we think of spring our mind goes to birth….baby creatures come to earth during this time. Lambs, bunnies, and calves.

But what about us? What does spring mean to us? With all the earth changes and traumas there is a lot of fear in the world. Let us take this time to dissolve our fears.

Remember how Jesus said, “Unless you become as children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Become as children. Children spend their time in play and imagination.

As we become adults we get busy with being grown up…dealing with adult issues and stresses. Our inner child becomes frightened by the fears that we allow to be impressed upon us as adults. In order to become balanced, to inherit our Divine gifts, we must allow our inner child to be free.

My dear friend, Valerie Saurer, founder of the Attitude of Gratitude project on facebook, has decided to allow her inner child a safe place to come out and play. She is creating a haven in her yard for dreaming, creating, writing, and enjoying life.

I am honored that she has opened her heart up enough to share this ‘play’ with us all. She did that by sharing what she is doing, though she has also opened herself up to criticism. This is from the few that will hear of what she is doing and think, “What is a grown lady doing sleeping in a tent and spending her time in outdoor pavilion all decorated with gauzy curtains and such!”

By donating to her some of the things I have around in boxes, I have allowed my inner child to play. My inner child is remembering how it feels to dance freely with the wind blowing through her hair. She remembers the feeling of no limits on what she can accomplish in her life. As I incorporate this into my adult life, then I can ‘fly’!

Not all of us will want to put a tent in our backyards. (I prefer to dress up for Renaissance Fairs!) I encourage you all to find ways to let your inner child play. Spend time playing with your animal friends, with children (borrow some, if you don’t have your own…parents love a break!), go through your closets, fill a box for someone like Val, or create your own haven for your inner child.

It is no small job to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth, but by allowing a safe place for our inner child to play, we can do just this! Thank you, my dear friend, Valerie for reminding us of one way to do this.

“The angels want you to enjoy life. Too many of you trudge through life and complicate every issue that arises. Look at the world through the eyes of a child, full of adventure and wonder. Then you will have taken the first step towards opening your inner sight and spiritual gifts to a Divine level with such angelic energy of which you have never experienced previously. This is what I want for you. This is what I can bring to you when you are ready to let go of control and have that trust in the Divine. I love you.”
