Apr 24, 2024

In my work with students and clients, the theme of the 'wounded child' comes up a lot. I hear things like: “My inner-child is afraid”, or “my inner-child needs to feel safe”. This concept of the 'wounded child' suggests a vulnerable part of us that requires healing and protection. But what if I told you that this “wounded child” is more myth than reality, a narrative constructed from our memories that could be keeping you from living a freer, more fulfilling life? While it’s crucial to acknowledge and address our unresolved emotions and experiences, from a non-dual perspective we need to recognize that the ‘wounded child’ doesn’t exist in the present moment. It’s actually a story that we’ve carried with us and that’s potentially holding us back. Watch this video to learn if your wounded child is ready to be released.
