Inner Child

1
00:00:02,391 --> 00:00:05,404
Hello and welcome to Practically Magic.

2
00:00:05,404 --> 00:00:09,166
We are back recording in the cave.

3
00:00:09,187 --> 00:00:25,081
For those of you who cannot see on YouTube, listening to audio only, my recording studio
right here in the cave, my meditation area of my healing spaces in my home.

4
00:00:25,381 --> 00:00:28,925
And I'm excited to bring a topic.

5
00:00:28,925 --> 00:00:29,709
am Courtney.

6
00:00:29,709 --> 00:00:38,655
Pearl, today I am your energetic emotional healer and we are going to be talking about
inner child and shadow work.

7
00:00:39,296 --> 00:00:52,965
Those of you who belong in the mystical realms or perhaps on the forums, perhaps on
Facebook groups or TikTok, you're watching and people use these words or these terminology

8
00:00:52,965 --> 00:00:58,709
inner child work or shadow work quite a bit or they might refer to themselves as a light
worker.

9
00:01:00,542 --> 00:01:07,806
we're to talk a little bit about what that means today and specifically inner child work
and what that looks like.

10
00:01:07,806 --> 00:01:13,989
So in lieu of that topic, I have grabbed one of my Oracle decks.

11
00:01:13,989 --> 00:01:18,992
love to use with children and yes, I do divination with children.

12
00:01:18,992 --> 00:01:22,053
teach my kids divination and

13
00:01:23,071 --> 00:01:36,784
You will remember that an episode we had previously, I believe it was in season one, we
went back and we did talk about uh teaching children, about teaching children um the

14
00:01:36,784 --> 00:01:41,785
essence of magic, of what is the true and real magic that we talk about here on the
podcast.

15
00:01:41,785 --> 00:01:52,813
But today I really want to specifically talk about inner child work and how that work is
being done as if we're teaching this sort of magical concept.

16
00:01:52,813 --> 00:02:02,793
and healing work to children, how that actually looks for you and how that works for
everyone at every stage.

17
00:02:03,633 --> 00:02:18,953
So I am using my magic Oracle deck, one of the three or four decks that I have that when I
go to Tarot for Tips events and I'm reading cards, I'll have children come and visit my

18
00:02:18,953 --> 00:02:21,412
table and I will have them pull a card.

19
00:02:22,222 --> 00:02:26,982
And it's a very specific.

20
00:02:28,694 --> 00:02:36,249
simplified message just for kids and they actually believe in the magic.

21
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:42,414
The card that I've chosen for today's episode is respect yourself.

22
00:02:42,414 --> 00:02:47,678
And if you're looking at the YouTube channel, you can see that it's the image of a black
cat.

23
00:02:47,678 --> 00:02:48,689
One of my favorite things.

24
00:02:48,689 --> 00:02:51,240
I have a black cat on the pillow right behind me.

25
00:02:51,844 --> 00:02:53,342
I have a black cat.

26
00:02:53,342 --> 00:02:53,752
Of course.

27
00:02:53,752 --> 00:02:55,113
Of course I do.

28
00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:59,141
A black hat with a crown on their head.

29
00:02:59,141 --> 00:03:01,222
Something that my local community knows about me.

30
00:03:01,222 --> 00:03:09,806
I love to wear a tiara or a crown when it's my birthday or when it's a special occasion or
maybe when I just need an uplift.

31
00:03:10,347 --> 00:03:12,988
I need something to lift me up and make me feel good.

32
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,889
So I love wearing a crown.

33
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:17,730
It's my thing.

34
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:21,822
And that's also very inner childlike, right?

35
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:27,082
It's kind of placating my inner child and like, Hey, if I want to wear a crown, I'm an
adult.

36
00:03:27,082 --> 00:03:28,833
I can wear a crown if I want.

37
00:03:28,833 --> 00:03:42,718
It's not dress ups, not just for kids, but I love how the message here with this image is
respect yourself because as adults, can dive into that so deeply.

38
00:03:42,718 --> 00:03:45,219
What does it mean to respect yourself?

39
00:03:45,219 --> 00:03:52,095
What does it mean to treat yourself like you love yourself?

40
00:03:53,317 --> 00:03:55,199
what would that look like?

41
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:59,203
And that is so perfect for the episode we're gonna talk about today.

42
00:03:59,244 --> 00:04:09,756
The crux of the healing work that I do um when I learned to do integrative processing
technique is that we are often going to...

43
00:04:11,601 --> 00:04:14,353
our past inner child self.

44
00:04:14,514 --> 00:04:28,999
We are working at an age where particular traumas or difficulties happened, things that
may have created neural pathways to allow us to handle situations in a certain way, to

45
00:04:28,999 --> 00:04:34,113
cope in a certain way, even to get our needs met in a certain way.

46
00:04:34,635 --> 00:04:35,495
And

47
00:04:36,159 --> 00:04:50,931
We run those programs like they're subconscious in our brains and in our patterns, in our
behavior from then on, um even cultivating some needs being met throughout our lifetime.

48
00:04:50,931 --> 00:04:52,853
So reinforcing those beliefs.

49
00:04:52,853 --> 00:04:56,236
uh And I'll use an example.

50
00:04:56,236 --> 00:05:03,822
uh We may have had an experience as a young child where we felt

51
00:05:06,551 --> 00:05:10,051
abandoned or in a time of need and great stress.

52
00:05:10,051 --> 00:05:11,591
Our parents weren't there for us.

53
00:05:11,591 --> 00:05:18,331
The people that we look to for safety and certainty, they weren't there for us.

54
00:05:18,331 --> 00:05:22,211
so we adopt a belief system.

55
00:05:22,211 --> 00:05:33,511
We create a neural pathway that says, okay, so in order to get my needs met, I'm going to
have to potentially become very independent.

56
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:40,573
Maybe I've decided at five years old, I just need to not need anyone else.

57
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:47,954
I need to just be very independent, look out for myself, don't rely on other people
because they're not there for you anyway, right?

58
00:05:47,954 --> 00:05:52,795
And this may be just one of many different choices that could have been made in that
circumstance.

59
00:05:52,795 --> 00:06:03,658
So someone else might become really, really needy clinging to those people who they can
rely on because they couldn't rely on the people they were supposed to.

60
00:06:05,551 --> 00:06:15,335
but perhaps in this example, the, the coping mechanism was I'm going to become very
independent and I'm not going to need anyone else.

61
00:06:15,616 --> 00:06:29,653
And because of the time period and the, uh, psychological development, uh, happening at
that particular time in their life, we know from Erickson's theories of development, we

62
00:06:29,653 --> 00:06:34,185
know that at certain phases and stages of development, we

63
00:06:34,388 --> 00:06:50,402
can either have our needs met and create self-esteem and identity and these certain
milestones, or we can have confusion and m trauma.

64
00:06:51,022 --> 00:07:02,625
So not to get too deeply into the academics of it, because I could talk about Erickson's
uh theories, I could talk Maslow's hierarchy of needs, uh being that I am a

65
00:07:02,930 --> 00:07:06,532
early childhood development educator.

66
00:07:06,532 --> 00:07:11,370
em That is where my degree and my formal education steps in.

67
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:15,477
I was a elementary school teacher for almost a decade.

68
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:19,639
So that's playing into my background quite a bit.

69
00:07:19,739 --> 00:07:25,902
But when I started discovering healing work and doing things like the integrated
processing technique, I realized that

70
00:07:26,078 --> 00:07:38,188
The work I love to do most, although I do love working with kids and I have done emotional
processes with children that are excellent and fantastic because they move energy like

71
00:07:38,188 --> 00:07:50,047
nobody's business, where I might take an hour and a half to two hours session with an
adult to move energy, to combat belief systems, to process certain things that happened in

72
00:07:50,047 --> 00:07:50,737
their past.

73
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:55,561
ah I can do the same thing with a child and we can be in and out done in an hour.

74
00:07:56,454 --> 00:08:06,559
because they're so young and pliable and their decisions were more recently made and less
reinforced over time.

75
00:08:06,559 --> 00:08:20,027
they're able to go, well, hmm, I'm realizing that the way I've been getting my needs met,
for example, being super independent and not needing anyone, might be actually costing me

76
00:08:20,027 --> 00:08:21,567
more than it's getting me.

77
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:24,849
So I can look at that and say,

78
00:08:24,849 --> 00:08:37,512
Maybe I'll try meeting people and if they're there for me, they are, and if they aren't,
then they aren't, but I can still believe that I'm a good person and that I am worthy.

79
00:08:38,073 --> 00:08:45,934
And I can release and move the shame out of that situation.

80
00:08:46,555 --> 00:08:51,556
And they can easily see that as a possibility, whereas adults are like,

81
00:08:52,477 --> 00:08:55,239
maybe more hardened and stuck in their ways.

82
00:08:55,239 --> 00:09:04,577
So if an adult had been processing that same concept, they might've been like, well, I
can't need people because they never show up for me the same way that I do, or they're

83
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:08,149
never gonna give me the same thing that I need.

84
00:09:08,149 --> 00:09:16,626
um And everyone always abandons me, everyone always ends up neglecting me, or I never get
my needs met when I rely on other people.

85
00:09:16,626 --> 00:09:21,750
So I just can't rely on other people, I just have to keep doing things for myself, always,
always, always for myself.

86
00:09:22,886 --> 00:09:36,679
And if you suggest that there is another way that perhaps there's a way in which they can
ask for help and rely on other people without the expectations of they're always gonna be

87
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,760
there for me or they're always not gonna be there for me.

88
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:46,021
em Adults are usually stuck in confusion at that point.

89
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,432
Well, I don't get it.

90
00:09:47,432 --> 00:09:48,062
How does that work?

91
00:09:48,062 --> 00:09:52,173
uh I don't see how that, so what would I do then?

92
00:09:52,359 --> 00:10:02,816
It just takes a lot more work and time and visualization and moving of energy and creating
new neural pathways for that new way.

93
00:10:03,096 --> 00:10:12,523
So let's get into talking about it because we're to talk about developmental stages, the
chakras or energy centers that are developed throughout time, and then the cycles and

94
00:10:12,523 --> 00:10:16,505
seasons of those same developmental ages.

95
00:10:16,926 --> 00:10:20,888
So to start off, I just need to reiterate that.

96
00:10:20,888 --> 00:10:24,650
We are all like Russian nesting dolls.

97
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:30,434
This is not uh my metaphor, but I have heard it and I love it because it makes a lot of
sense.

98
00:10:30,434 --> 00:10:35,197
So we are basically, even in present time, all the ages we've ever been.

99
00:10:35,378 --> 00:10:42,762
We are our pre-birth selves in the womb.

100
00:10:43,823 --> 00:10:46,465
We are infants.

101
00:10:46,765 --> 00:10:48,486
We are toddlers.

102
00:10:48,486 --> 00:10:49,740
We are...

103
00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:55,201
All the ages and all of the experiences that we've ever been, we are all those things at
once.

104
00:10:55,541 --> 00:10:58,982
So when someone says, well, I don't want to sit in that.

105
00:10:58,982 --> 00:11:01,333
I don't want to deal with that trauma.

106
00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:06,664
I don't want to relive and dig up and hash out the past.

107
00:11:06,924 --> 00:11:08,895
The thing I want to remind them.

108
00:11:08,895 --> 00:11:19,607
And if you are one of them, I'm reminding you, I'm telling you at this moment in time, you
can't escape it because you already are in it.

109
00:11:20,901 --> 00:11:24,422
It's the whole reason why we are triggered.

110
00:11:24,523 --> 00:11:36,329
So as I said before, when I'm doing emotional processing, if I'm doing an integrated
processing technique with a session with an adult, it's no different than if the adult is

111
00:11:36,329 --> 00:11:40,511
dealing with things that their five-year-old self had dealt with.

112
00:11:40,952 --> 00:11:47,865
Or if I'm dealing with a five-year-old, if I'm having a session with an actual physical
five-year-old,

113
00:11:48,239 --> 00:11:50,439
and they're dealing with that same stuff.

114
00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:53,400
I would do the process the same.

115
00:11:53,721 --> 00:12:02,863
And that's why it was really important that during my training that we learn a lot about
those different stages of development and what sort of decisions are being made at

116
00:12:02,863 --> 00:12:04,683
different times of your life.

117
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:14,206
And why I think my background in uh having studied early childhood psychology and
education and development.

118
00:12:14,535 --> 00:12:19,958
plays really well into the work that I do now because I am doing inner child work quite a
lot.

119
00:12:20,899 --> 00:12:35,409
Now to give you an idea of what this feels like or why this is important, I want you to
just take a moment with me wherever you are and I want you to just visualize.

120
00:12:35,409 --> 00:12:42,674
If you can close your eyes and visualize it, if you are not driving or doing something
that you

121
00:12:43,015 --> 00:12:56,159
couldn't take just a moment to yourself, I want you to just visualize that in your mind's
eye, you're, let's say, six-year-old self.

122
00:12:57,019 --> 00:13:06,572
Your six-year-old self, you, you at six years old, is standing right in front of you.

123
00:13:09,274 --> 00:13:17,864
You might even crouch down or hunch over to get on their level as if you are speaking to a
six-year-old child.

124
00:13:17,864 --> 00:13:23,490
It just happens to be you who is the six-year-old that's in front of you.

125
00:13:25,584 --> 00:13:34,078
Now let's imagine that you are speaking to that six year old and you can say anything you
want to say to them.

126
00:13:35,099 --> 00:13:43,484
But let's imagine that you're saying something they really need to hear at that stage of
life.

127
00:13:44,745 --> 00:13:49,467
Let's say you're telling them you're safe.

128
00:13:50,028 --> 00:13:51,748
I'm here with you.

129
00:13:52,669 --> 00:13:54,670
No one can hurt you.

130
00:13:55,664 --> 00:14:02,077
because I'm here to protect you and I'm here to help you with what you need.

131
00:14:02,658 --> 00:14:05,939
And if you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat.

132
00:14:06,479 --> 00:14:10,241
And if you want to play, I'll play with you.

133
00:14:11,972 --> 00:14:13,149
and oh

134
00:14:15,673 --> 00:14:21,107
just sit in that space for a moment and feel what that feels like.

135
00:14:22,864 --> 00:14:26,817
How does your six-year-old self respond to those words?

136
00:14:28,059 --> 00:14:31,062
How do they feel when you say it to them?

137
00:14:31,062 --> 00:14:35,136
And how do you feel getting to say that to them?

138
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:45,893
Now in being able to be the adult you've always needed, that is powerful healing work.

139
00:14:46,353 --> 00:15:04,001
And what's even more powerful is to be able to say to that six-year-old, I want you to
feel safe and comfortable telling me whatever it is you want to tell me, whatever you need

140
00:15:04,001 --> 00:15:05,091
to say.

141
00:15:05,601 --> 00:15:11,883
Whatever is stuck with you that you don't want to carry anymore, I'm going to let you
release it.

142
00:15:11,883 --> 00:15:14,463
And I'm going to be here to listen.

143
00:15:14,984 --> 00:15:24,506
I'm actually just going to listen with no judgment, with nothing but compassion for you,
little six year old.

144
00:15:25,286 --> 00:15:29,987
Cause whatever it is you have to say, it's okay.

145
00:15:30,708 --> 00:15:32,468
It might be harsh.

146
00:15:33,889 --> 00:15:35,429
It might feel.

147
00:15:36,975 --> 00:15:39,168
violent at times?

148
00:15:39,510 --> 00:15:41,372
Might be filled with rage?

149
00:15:45,081 --> 00:15:46,399
It might be sad.

150
00:15:48,953 --> 00:16:02,862
But in just allowing your six-year-old to say whatever it is they need to say and you are
just listening without judgment, with nothing but compassion that that six-year-old had to

151
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:09,086
deal with some things and had to do the best they could with what they knew at the time.

152
00:16:09,086 --> 00:16:11,428
And you know this because you're an adult now.

153
00:16:11,428 --> 00:16:18,142
You can look back and say, hey, my six-year-old maybe didn't handle it in the best way or

154
00:16:18,222 --> 00:16:24,279
Maybe they made some decisions that were really harmful to us, but gosh, I can't really
blame them.

155
00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:31,218
They were doing the best they could with what they had at the time, with what they knew,
with how much experience they had.

156
00:16:31,218 --> 00:16:33,870
They're only six after all.

157
00:16:33,931 --> 00:16:35,392
You're just a child.

158
00:16:36,974 --> 00:16:38,516
They need my compassion.

159
00:16:42,789 --> 00:16:53,197
good does that feel to be able to be the one who gets to witness what that six-year-old
needed?

160
00:16:54,479 --> 00:16:56,800
To be able to give them what they need.

161
00:16:57,601 --> 00:17:09,951
That is the power of inner child work because we cannot classify, and even psychologists
and psychoanalysts, cannot classify what is trauma and what is not trauma.

162
00:17:09,951 --> 00:17:11,277
The fact of the matter is,

163
00:17:11,277 --> 00:17:13,678
Trauma is different for every single person.

164
00:17:13,678 --> 00:17:26,611
Trauma is something that allows us to make certain beliefs about ourselves and to move
forward with coping mechanisms that maybe are not aligned with our best self, our most

165
00:17:26,611 --> 00:17:28,181
authentic self.

166
00:17:28,661 --> 00:17:36,123
So in witnessing that and making new decisions, that is how we return to self.

167
00:17:36,383 --> 00:17:41,346
We return to our authentic and best self by witnessing that

168
00:17:41,346 --> 00:17:45,799
and making those new decisions, new neural pathways.

169
00:17:46,319 --> 00:17:52,643
And some of the best ways to do that is to have an emotional experience and an emotional
connection.

170
00:17:53,164 --> 00:18:06,463
So if you go back to our uh episode that we did on ketamine and psychedelics and healing,
we had a discussion about how some people are able to, during a ketamine session or during

171
00:18:06,463 --> 00:18:09,569
that psychedelics, they're able to see themselves as children.

172
00:18:09,569 --> 00:18:14,982
or experiences that they've had as children and look at it without the emotion.

173
00:18:14,982 --> 00:18:28,849
Be able to say, yeah, that was really tough or, you know, but I'm just witnessing it as an
observer without any of that judgment or shame connected to it.

174
00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:34,212
And now I get to see what other choices can be made.

175
00:18:34,493 --> 00:18:38,945
And as you come out of ketamine and you're in that sort of mushy brain state afterwards,

176
00:18:38,946 --> 00:18:44,562
the integration part is why it's so important that you do some healing work.

177
00:18:44,562 --> 00:18:53,730
Like for example, the integration, integrated processing technique, emotional processing
that I or Shandel both do in our own ways.

178
00:18:54,752 --> 00:18:55,793
Okay.

179
00:18:56,154 --> 00:18:57,955
So that's how powerful it is.

180
00:18:59,544 --> 00:19:09,949
And here are some decisions that when I'm doing the integrated processing technique or IPT
sessions with clients, I'll take into consideration.

181
00:19:09,949 --> 00:19:22,496
For example, at age two, so if our session happens to take us to age two and we're working
with our two-year-old self, I will be asking questions that have a lot to do with fear of

182
00:19:22,496 --> 00:19:23,736
separation.

183
00:19:24,418 --> 00:19:43,093
because it is spiritually and developmentally a time of separation from spiritual realms,
for example, God and what the spirit knew of pre-existence, but also of separation from

184
00:19:43,093 --> 00:19:45,865
their identity with mom.

185
00:19:46,065 --> 00:19:53,427
Because most infants and all the way up until age two associate their identity as

186
00:19:53,427 --> 00:20:01,450
They depended on mom for literally everything.

187
00:20:02,031 --> 00:20:06,172
And dad too, to some extent, or their caretaker.

188
00:20:06,172 --> 00:20:10,314
But remember they came from the womb so recently.

189
00:20:10,314 --> 00:20:17,717
So it's going to be very much a slow and progressive separation of that identity and
connection to mom.

190
00:20:19,137 --> 00:20:20,958
And when I say God, mean that,

191
00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:34,962
At age two weeks and at two years, these are uh pivotal times in the separation of the
spirit that is connecting to the body and being able to separate from the spiritual realm

192
00:20:34,962 --> 00:20:37,923
in which we've come from before we were born.

193
00:20:37,923 --> 00:20:43,824
And so um if you are listening to this podcast and you're like, I don't believe in all of
that.

194
00:20:43,824 --> 00:20:49,507
I'm going to question why you're even here because this is what we talk about the
spiritual realm.

195
00:20:49,507 --> 00:20:55,087
the energy of spiritual things.

196
00:20:55,087 --> 00:21:00,847
And so we're letting go of the idea being a baby at age two.

197
00:21:01,187 --> 00:21:07,607
At age three, this is a big step into independence.

198
00:21:07,927 --> 00:21:11,907
A lot of people say it's the terrible twos, but really it's the terrible threes.

199
00:21:11,907 --> 00:21:18,787
That's because now after the separation from mom at age two, age three is a time of

200
00:21:18,787 --> 00:21:22,570
um where a lot of times siblings are born.

201
00:21:22,570 --> 00:21:25,372
So there's traumatic events happening around them.

202
00:21:25,372 --> 00:21:34,998
They're more aware and conscious of these traumatic events and what beliefs they're
adopting that those events might mean about themselves.

203
00:21:36,059 --> 00:21:43,724
A lot of work done at age three, they are wanting to please.

204
00:21:43,724 --> 00:21:46,654
They're more aware of, are they pleasing?

205
00:21:46,654 --> 00:21:54,380
their authority figures or do they even want to please their authority figures because at
this point they're like, what about me?

206
00:21:54,380 --> 00:22:03,207
I want to please me, which is why it's a difficult age for parents because you're like
running around after this three year old who wants what they want, right?

207
00:22:03,648 --> 00:22:12,274
And then age four, and I have processed a lot of age four in time with my clients because
four is the age of joy.

208
00:22:12,755 --> 00:22:16,598
It's a time when little guys just want joy.

209
00:22:16,598 --> 00:22:17,658
all the time.

210
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:19,741
Four-year-olds are pretty joyful.

211
00:22:19,741 --> 00:22:22,282
They're pretty joyful little guys.

212
00:22:22,483 --> 00:22:34,852
The times when they are not joyful, when they have their tantrums and their difficult
moments for parents, it's because they are perceiving their joy being taken away.

213
00:22:34,973 --> 00:22:45,991
What they want to experience is joy and what mom or dad is fighting them on or taking them
away from is that joy that they're looking for.

214
00:22:47,231 --> 00:22:55,124
I also want to talk about age seven for a second because I have processed a lot of age
seven in times with my clients as well.

215
00:22:55,265 --> 00:22:57,325
And it is the age of anger.

216
00:22:57,646 --> 00:23:07,250
It is a developmental age very much associated with showing up with that anger and rage,
practicing what anger feels like.

217
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:14,213
So this is when you have to those conversations with kids about like, when you are angry,
here are appropriate ways to handle it.

218
00:23:15,106 --> 00:23:27,066
And that's why in some of my work with children and I do these healing art classes, the
heart smart art classes and the myth and magic classes are designed for children because

219
00:23:27,066 --> 00:23:43,366
art, as you know, from my episode on healing through art is a fantastic way to get that
creative flow, playful energy and the energy of color into the conversation.

220
00:23:43,389 --> 00:23:48,854
about feelings and emotions, and I use a lot of story time and books as well.

221
00:23:48,854 --> 00:23:51,156
So I have one called the Grumpy Unicorn.

222
00:23:51,156 --> 00:23:52,876
We talk about anger.

223
00:23:53,137 --> 00:24:06,368
Seven-year-olds, they're learning how to transition and to receive emotions like anger as
information.

224
00:24:06,368 --> 00:24:12,353
ah It's very difficult in a household where anger is not allowed.

225
00:24:12,353 --> 00:24:15,013
Anger is labeled as bad.

226
00:24:15,013 --> 00:24:18,953
So if you are showing anger, you are not good.

227
00:24:18,953 --> 00:24:20,893
My light just turned off.

228
00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:25,313
It was flickering and then just I think the bulb just went out.

229
00:24:25,313 --> 00:24:29,593
So if you're watching on YouTube, that's why it just went dark all of a sudden.

230
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:33,973
Luckily, the light is shining from the window, so we'll be fine.

231
00:24:35,393 --> 00:24:35,593
Yeah.

232
00:24:35,593 --> 00:24:36,553
So what does it say about anger?

233
00:24:36,553 --> 00:24:40,093
If you're in a household where they

234
00:24:41,182 --> 00:24:51,727
are not allowed to express anger, or perhaps there is one individual in the house who is
allowed to do anger, but no one else is.

235
00:24:51,727 --> 00:25:02,721
And a lot of you listening right now, you might be thinking about your own children at age
seven or at these ages we're talking about, but I also want you to consider that we're not

236
00:25:02,721 --> 00:25:09,227
just talking about your children and how to raise your children in a way that is.

237
00:25:09,227 --> 00:25:15,380
creating emotionally intelligent magical children, but we're also talking about you.

238
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,684
So you need to consider how am I parenting my inner child?

239
00:25:21,684 --> 00:25:25,045
How am I showing up for my inner child?

240
00:25:26,046 --> 00:25:38,432
Because if you think about yourself and your family situation and your potential traumas
or heaviness that you experienced at age seven,

241
00:25:38,962 --> 00:25:42,534
Ask yourself, was I allowed to do anger at that age?

242
00:25:43,595 --> 00:25:52,881
Was there some part of me that believed anger was not allowed, that it made me bad?

243
00:25:52,881 --> 00:25:55,022
I'm bad if I do anger.

244
00:25:55,863 --> 00:26:01,265
So we're having conversations with seven-year-olds about what is an appropriate way to
handle anger?

245
00:26:01,346 --> 00:26:05,358
What's an appropriate way to see and be friends with anger?

246
00:26:06,912 --> 00:26:22,044
How do we separate ourselves from anger, not identifying with it, but seeing it as a
message coming in, as the information?

247
00:26:22,605 --> 00:26:24,306
Because that's what anger is.

248
00:26:24,306 --> 00:26:26,907
And a lot of those heavy emotions, in fact.

249
00:26:27,328 --> 00:26:30,991
Anger is, hey, something's not right.

250
00:26:31,031 --> 00:26:36,263
I'm being uh violated in some way, and I need protection.

251
00:26:36,263 --> 00:26:38,404
So anger is gonna come forward.

252
00:26:39,324 --> 00:26:47,747
Now I get to make the decision, my higher self, my real true authentic self gets to make
the decision on what that is.

253
00:26:47,747 --> 00:26:49,288
How do we take action now?

254
00:26:49,288 --> 00:26:51,188
Now that anger is shown up.

255
00:26:52,188 --> 00:26:54,409
And in a calm state, we can do that.

256
00:26:54,530 --> 00:26:59,351
But when we let anger override all of that, we can't do that.

257
00:27:00,074 --> 00:27:04,216
So these are developmental ages and I've just covered a few of them today.

258
00:27:04,216 --> 00:27:07,427
There's a lot more information here, but you're not here to take a class.

259
00:27:07,427 --> 00:27:11,648
You're here to just learn something a little bit more about what inner child work is.

260
00:27:12,224 --> 00:27:23,733
I also want to um take into consideration that some of the courses that I'm taking from
Tiffany Lezick, she wrote great work and the noble art.

261
00:27:23,733 --> 00:27:28,051
She associates developmental ages with the seasons of the year.

262
00:27:28,051 --> 00:27:30,863
and the cycles that happen at these seasons of the year.

263
00:27:30,863 --> 00:27:37,809
And as I've been learning from her, she's a fantastic mentor to me in these classes I'm
taking from her.

264
00:27:37,809 --> 00:27:47,087
I've been learning how to do energy work that she teaches called Honey that uses the
seasons of the year to do the healing work.

265
00:27:47,087 --> 00:27:55,063
So similar to Reiki, but also kind of a good mismatch of what Reiki is like and what
emotional processing is like.

266
00:27:55,063 --> 00:27:58,115
And Honey is sort of the thing that meets in the middle.

267
00:27:58,207 --> 00:28:11,530
So that's why I'm really enjoying learning about this type of healing work because it
plays really nicely into what I already have been doing and just adding a great buttload

268
00:28:11,530 --> 00:28:13,491
of information into that.

269
00:28:13,531 --> 00:28:26,654
So she talks about cycles, cycles like in winter or the time from Yule to Imbulk being the
rebirth time of year.

270
00:28:26,654 --> 00:28:30,674
So we've come out of death and we're into rebirth.

271
00:28:31,274 --> 00:28:39,474
But in bulk time from February 2nd to March is gifts from the inner child.

272
00:28:39,474 --> 00:28:50,094
So this is where in the time of year, we're talking about coming out of infancy and into
your child's work.

273
00:28:50,174 --> 00:28:54,878
So if you're in that cycle during that time of year or at any

274
00:28:54,878 --> 00:29:04,503
point during the year you happen to just be personally in that cycle, then that's what
will come up for you when you're doing this kind of healing work.

275
00:29:04,503 --> 00:29:18,791
When you're on a healing journey and you need to discover what is it about my inner, my
child self that needs to be brought forward and addressed and witnessed so that I can move

276
00:29:18,851 --> 00:29:20,672
forward in a better way.

277
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:24,114
If I haven't convinced you yet,

278
00:29:24,432 --> 00:29:33,210
with all of this so far, that inner child work is powerful and important and essential in
your healing journey.

279
00:29:33,210 --> 00:29:47,101
So anytime you're trying to change, okay, you are noticing things about yourself that are
sabotaging your progress.

280
00:29:49,955 --> 00:29:53,907
that's moving into what we call shadow work.

281
00:29:53,928 --> 00:29:54,908
Right?

282
00:29:54,908 --> 00:30:05,035
So our ego goes through these fragmented stages where we are split into all these
different parts of us.

283
00:30:05,035 --> 00:30:12,220
And some of them were built and created based on trauma from when we were children.

284
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:19,685
So there's a part of us that gets extremely triggered or defensive or

285
00:30:20,338 --> 00:30:22,400
gets extremely confused.

286
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:30,906
um We're taking a course with women, wealth and woo about trauma with money.

287
00:30:31,167 --> 00:30:43,096
And this is a really good example to be brought up with this kind of thing because some
people often get stuck in patterns with money or trying to progress in their business or

288
00:30:43,096 --> 00:30:44,397
in their wealth.

289
00:30:44,397 --> 00:30:48,661
And they get into these patterns where they constantly sabotage themselves.

290
00:30:48,661 --> 00:30:49,391
Maybe

291
00:30:49,391 --> 00:30:51,743
every time they get a little bit of money, spend it.

292
00:30:51,743 --> 00:31:05,551
Or maybe em they hoard their money so tightly that they really don't take any risks and
never grow their wealth because they're just so, so wrapped up in scarcity that they hoard

293
00:31:05,551 --> 00:31:07,774
their money and they hold on tight to it.

294
00:31:07,774 --> 00:31:13,409
um No judgment on whether or not these patterns are good or bad.

295
00:31:13,409 --> 00:31:18,281
I don't believe in good or bad, but I'm pointing out that how we

296
00:31:18,942 --> 00:31:29,124
how we witness that relationship with money or how we move through a space where we're
going into, want wealth, but I keep sabotaging myself.

297
00:31:29,565 --> 00:31:38,127
There's these parts of us that sabotage us in whatever we're progressing in because they
are our shadows.

298
00:31:38,787 --> 00:31:48,295
Our shadow selves are not like demons or the way that they have been demonized by maybe

299
00:31:48,325 --> 00:32:03,732
Christian culture, these parts of us are born out of trauma and created to protect us in
some way, to serve a purpose in some way.

300
00:32:04,311 --> 00:32:13,725
So in therapy, for example, uh in our family systems is a modality of therapy that uh
really taps into this type of work.

301
00:32:13,725 --> 00:32:15,157
uh

302
00:32:15,813 --> 00:32:24,935
But what I want to address today is that inner child work and shadow work are very much
hand in hand.

303
00:32:25,036 --> 00:32:36,939
Because when you are addressing a child part of you, an inner child self, you are also
having a conversation with a shadow part.

304
00:32:37,419 --> 00:32:45,441
Because when that child had a need that wasn't getting met, a shadow part is born from
that.

305
00:32:45,637 --> 00:32:58,057
And the shadow part is the part that says, okay, well now we need to, going back to our
original example, now I need to never need anyone ever again.

306
00:32:58,057 --> 00:33:03,648
I will just always take care of myself and never rely on anyone else.

307
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:11,342
And when we get friendly with our shadow parts, we get to soften them.

308
00:33:11,423 --> 00:33:13,983
We get to reassure them.

309
00:33:14,124 --> 00:33:19,186
We get to learn more about them.

310
00:33:19,666 --> 00:33:21,107
There's a book called Inner.

311
00:33:21,107 --> 00:33:24,148
um

312
00:33:25,958 --> 00:33:30,810
The Dark Side of the Light Chasers is what it's called.

313
00:33:30,848 --> 00:33:32,351
I have it on my shelf over there.

314
00:33:32,351 --> 00:33:36,973
It's a book we had to read when I was going to school at the Institute of Healing Arts.

315
00:33:37,048 --> 00:33:52,250
it is basically, and it takes you through a meditation in the book about how you can go
through, uh let's say you bring all of your shadow selves into a conference, into a

316
00:33:52,250 --> 00:33:53,520
conference room.

317
00:33:53,748 --> 00:34:03,210
or you could see them as the teammates in a locker room, or you can walk onto a bus and
have all your shadow parts there sitting on the bus.

318
00:34:03,911 --> 00:34:08,331
You find one that's really giving you problems right now.

319
00:34:09,412 --> 00:34:15,633
Every time you try to make progress in some way in your life, this shadow part shows up.

320
00:34:16,774 --> 00:34:22,675
And you can name her something, or you can even give him a personality.

321
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:26,840
A whole visual, you could uh give them a name.

322
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,479
That's just exactly what they are.

323
00:34:30,479 --> 00:34:39,124
I have one that I call controlling Kathy because when I stand up to control things, I
really don't have control over.

324
00:34:39,124 --> 00:34:41,384
That's controlling Kathy taking over.

325
00:34:41,384 --> 00:34:50,366
She thinks that she can literally make everything work the way it's supposed to.

326
00:34:50,547 --> 00:34:52,271
She thinks that she can

327
00:34:52,271 --> 00:34:59,779
bully everybody or get mad at everybody enough to where everybody will fall in line and do
what she says.

328
00:35:01,451 --> 00:35:12,317
And I call it she and I have a personality and a visual of her because if I say it's me,
there is a cloud of shame that wraps around the whole situation.

329
00:35:12,317 --> 00:35:15,138
And then it's me that's doing all that.

330
00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:27,455
When I think that the people who love me the most recognize that I'm not actually being my
real true authentic self when I get into those spaces, when I get into those places where

331
00:35:27,455 --> 00:35:31,139
I'm trying to control everything and everybody and I get really stressed out.

332
00:35:31,139 --> 00:35:37,161
and angry and difficult for everybody else.

333
00:35:37,862 --> 00:35:40,713
I think that the people who love me the most know that that's not really me.

334
00:35:40,713 --> 00:35:49,887
And they're like, hey, they don't know about controlling Kathy, but they do know that
someone else is taking over.

335
00:35:49,887 --> 00:35:55,149
I can have a conversation with controlling Kathy and I can say, controlling Kathy, why are
you here?

336
00:35:55,249 --> 00:35:56,650
What is going on?

337
00:35:56,650 --> 00:36:00,491
Why do you feel the need to make everything work perfectly?

338
00:36:00,537 --> 00:36:03,729
and everybody fall in line and everybody do what you tell them.

339
00:36:04,067 --> 00:36:10,735
And controlling Kathy says, because I need some certainty.

340
00:36:11,136 --> 00:36:12,737
I'm afraid.

341
00:36:13,038 --> 00:36:23,946
I'm afraid that if people don't do what I say, I can't keep everyone safe and I can't make
this day go the way I want it to go.

342
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:28,891
And we won't have good memories together because

343
00:36:31,053 --> 00:36:38,222
everything will be too late and we won't get there in time and whatever it is.

344
00:36:40,303 --> 00:36:42,484
And then I realized, you know what?

345
00:36:42,484 --> 00:36:44,055
You're just here to help me.

346
00:36:44,055 --> 00:36:46,526
You're just trying to help me.

347
00:36:47,867 --> 00:37:02,195
Now controlling Kathy was born out of trauma, out of an inner child that at some point in
my childhood, I made a decision because of events going on or whatever it was.

348
00:37:02,195 --> 00:37:09,316
And I've done a lot of work emotionally processing what it is with a facilitator that
helps me.

349
00:37:09,316 --> 00:37:10,786
to figure this out.

350
00:37:11,127 --> 00:37:27,736
But figuring out what is it that I need to know about what happened, how can I move all of
the emotional energy out in shapes and colors to get to the heart of what it is I need?

351
00:37:28,337 --> 00:37:32,239
So my inner child is saying, I need to feel some certainty.

352
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:38,122
I need to feel like everything's gonna be okay and I can make sure it's okay.

353
00:37:38,906 --> 00:37:41,447
And then controlling Cathy was born out of that.

354
00:37:41,447 --> 00:37:51,229
She comes in when she feels like things are not gonna go well, things are not gonna go our
way if I don't come in and start controlling everything and control everybody and make

355
00:37:51,229 --> 00:37:53,330
sure everything happens the way it's supposed to happen.

356
00:37:53,890 --> 00:38:06,434
And one thing that sped the process along for me in being able to move out of controlling
Cathy into a softer, more, you know what?

357
00:38:06,434 --> 00:38:08,254
I can't control all this.

358
00:38:09,038 --> 00:38:11,018
There is no certainty here.

359
00:38:11,859 --> 00:38:16,680
Only thing I can be certain of is that it's uncertain.

360
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,121
And maybe I need to let go of everything that doesn't matter quite so much.

361
00:38:22,201 --> 00:38:33,924
And if the real, real goal here was to have good memories with my family, then me
controlling my family this much is not making good memories.

362
00:38:33,924 --> 00:38:37,065
It's sabotaging what I actually want to.

363
00:38:37,571 --> 00:38:51,292
which by the way, in almost every session that I do for all of time in the years I've been
doing this, what we ultimately discover through the process is that the way we get our

364
00:38:51,292 --> 00:38:56,735
needs met is usually costing us the very thing we are trying to get.

365
00:38:57,877 --> 00:39:04,071
So if we don't change the way we get things, we will just end up losing the things we
want.

366
00:39:06,655 --> 00:39:11,366
That's usually the epiphany that comes from all of this type of work.

367
00:39:12,607 --> 00:39:23,570
So imagine what it feels like to be the adult who gets to go in and say, actually, we're
going to get our needs met.

368
00:39:24,010 --> 00:39:26,071
We're just going to do it a different way now.

369
00:39:26,371 --> 00:39:27,391
And it's going to be OK.

370
00:39:27,391 --> 00:39:27,901
And I'm here.

371
00:39:27,901 --> 00:39:28,902
And I've got you.

372
00:39:28,902 --> 00:39:30,382
And we're going to be safe.

373
00:39:30,382 --> 00:39:33,353
And I'm going to make sure it's OK for you.

374
00:39:35,117 --> 00:39:37,478
And if it's not okay, we'll deal with that too.

375
00:39:38,618 --> 00:39:40,299
Ultimately, it will work out.

376
00:39:41,359 --> 00:39:52,484
So if that feels good to you to imagine what sort of work that would be like, I would
highly encourage you to look into ways that you can start to heal your inner child.

377
00:39:52,484 --> 00:39:55,264
And there are many, many ways to do this.

378
00:39:55,565 --> 00:40:02,827
We just had, uh last night I was able to go to one of the women optimizing wellness events
where they did a sound bath.

379
00:40:02,827 --> 00:40:04,688
um

380
00:40:05,206 --> 00:40:10,139
And if you don't know what a sound bath is, sound surfing is another word for it that
Cambria Davis uses.

381
00:40:10,139 --> 00:40:12,100
She was the one who was doing our sound bath that night.

382
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:13,811
Um, it's not an actual bath.

383
00:40:13,811 --> 00:40:15,302
There's no water involved.

384
00:40:15,302 --> 00:40:33,031
It's literally just meditation, laying on a comfortable surface, meditating while sound
bowls and bells and gongs are, and tuning forks are used to create a bath of vibrations.

385
00:40:33,311 --> 00:40:34,978
And when you

386
00:40:34,978 --> 00:40:38,330
do this, your body is rewriting itself.

387
00:40:38,330 --> 00:40:44,635
There are cells in the body that when they vibrate at a certain frequency, they rewrite
and reprogram themselves.

388
00:40:44,635 --> 00:40:46,396
It's incredible.

389
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:59,605
And while there isn't any talking going on during it, it's interesting because people,
when reflecting after a sound bath, they will say, I had my inner child show up.

390
00:41:00,987 --> 00:41:03,088
I had a conversation.

391
00:41:03,464 --> 00:41:12,607
with my inner child and we were able to talk about what they need and I was able to let
them know that they're safe.

392
00:41:12,668 --> 00:41:14,458
And it felt wonderful.

393
00:41:14,458 --> 00:41:18,009
It felt so healing and so beautiful.

394
00:41:18,390 --> 00:41:26,153
And just the sound bath created the environment in which that could happen, which is
beautiful and wonderful.

395
00:41:27,113 --> 00:41:32,105
But if you feel like you need more guidance, more facilitating,

396
00:41:32,277 --> 00:41:38,270
someone to ask the right questions and to uh help guide you through the visualization of
that.

397
00:41:38,270 --> 00:41:42,192
That is the work that I do specifically with Healing Through Art.

398
00:41:42,793 --> 00:41:52,258
The Healing Through Art Full Moon Course that I do or the standalone Healing Through Art
sessions that I do for groups, that is exactly what we do.

399
00:41:52,399 --> 00:42:00,603
We start with a meditation where we bring forward one of your most needed inner child
ages.

400
00:42:03,189 --> 00:42:15,081
And that is what I do with private sessions as well is we sit down together and what I
will be doing with the the honey sessions is being able to bring forward.

401
00:42:17,225 --> 00:42:19,435
a past version of yourself.

402
00:42:19,636 --> 00:42:21,496
And sometimes it's not a child.

403
00:42:21,496 --> 00:42:26,218
Sometimes, and I have had sessions myself where it was my 26 year old self that showed up.

404
00:42:26,738 --> 00:42:30,339
And it's interesting because I remember the day that that happened.

405
00:42:30,339 --> 00:42:32,520
I was kind of waiting for it.

406
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,261
I just thought one day I will have to do this age.

407
00:42:36,361 --> 00:42:40,342
And I remember the facilitator saying, your 26 year old self is coming forward.

408
00:42:40,342 --> 00:42:44,183
And I said, okay, here we go.

409
00:42:44,268 --> 00:42:49,211
because that was the age when I was told by the doctor that I would probably not be able
to have children.

410
00:42:49,211 --> 00:42:53,033
And it was incredibly, incredibly devastating to me.

411
00:42:53,034 --> 00:43:05,182
Now it's not a developmental stage where my neuro pathways are being created at that
stage, but it's a really important stage that probably connects through energetic cords

412
00:43:05,182 --> 00:43:11,685
what age I was at some other earlier age, which is your body is going to fail you.

413
00:43:12,206 --> 00:43:14,247
And I had sessions that

414
00:43:14,337 --> 00:43:18,010
had that belief system way back in the womb.

415
00:43:18,010 --> 00:43:19,731
This body is not perfect enough.

416
00:43:19,731 --> 00:43:21,153
This body will fail you.

417
00:43:21,153 --> 00:43:28,779
You will not be able to serve your purpose here on earth with this body because it's not
perfect, because it needs to be more perfect.

418
00:43:29,660 --> 00:43:38,527
And because I have worked through those younger ages quite a lot, when my 26 year old self
came forward, I was ready.

419
00:43:38,787 --> 00:43:43,211
I was ready to help her deal with the

420
00:43:43,211 --> 00:43:53,418
devastation of this body is broken, this body won't be able to do what purpose it was
meant for, which I believed was being a mother.

421
00:43:54,119 --> 00:44:01,043
So I had to process the emotional, energetic feelings and belief systems at that age as
well.

422
00:44:01,704 --> 00:44:07,088
But all of the work that I do is shadow work because we are dealing with inner child work.

423
00:44:07,088 --> 00:44:09,580
They are coexistent.

424
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:11,571
They work together.

425
00:44:12,107 --> 00:44:20,980
So as I said in the beginning, there are particular mystic healers like myself who are
saying, I'm a light worker.

426
00:44:21,447 --> 00:44:28,431
I want you to consider because some of them say I'm a light worker, but then they're like,
but also yeah, there's shadow work involved.

427
00:44:30,111 --> 00:44:37,174
There is always shadow work and inner child work involved in healing work.

428
00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:54,083
And if you feel as if you are avoiding dealing with anything from your past, because it is
painful and it is hard to look at, I want you to remember the conversation we had in this

429
00:44:54,083 --> 00:44:59,696
episode where I invited you to talk to your six year old self and what that felt like.

430
00:44:59,914 --> 00:45:12,983
because as hard as it may be to face certain things and to go through what that feels
like, it also feels like a complete rebirth in coming out of a session.

431
00:45:13,163 --> 00:45:16,546
Like you had to die and come back.

432
00:45:16,546 --> 00:45:21,509
It's a cycle, it's a process, it's a healing cycle.

433
00:45:21,509 --> 00:45:25,552
So there is a difficulty, there is probably emotional release.

434
00:45:25,552 --> 00:45:29,284
For many people there's crying or laughing or

435
00:45:29,404 --> 00:45:31,454
yawning or belching.

436
00:45:32,135 --> 00:45:38,236
These are all energetic releases that I have seen and that people have experienced.

437
00:45:38,236 --> 00:45:49,899
So there is going to be the difficult part, but I have never had a session where a client
did not come out of it and say, Oh, felt so good.

438
00:45:50,260 --> 00:45:52,620
I needed that so much.

439
00:45:53,220 --> 00:45:59,482
And everything that your child is bringing forward, not your child, but your child's self.

440
00:45:59,580 --> 00:46:09,914
you as a child, everything it's bringing forward, it's always what you need at present
time.

441
00:46:10,714 --> 00:46:16,336
It connects in some way to what you're going through or dealing with right now.

442
00:46:16,870 --> 00:46:28,771
So if you're going through a divorce and that's really, really difficult and you're having
a lot of anxiety and a lot of stress and a lot of emotions dealing with your marriage

443
00:46:28,771 --> 00:46:29,671
ending,

444
00:46:29,919 --> 00:46:40,468
For example, your child self that's gonna be brought up is going to be a past version of
yourself that dealt with something similar, that dealt with something that felt like that

445
00:46:40,468 --> 00:46:46,782
loss and that separation and that abandonment and that betrayal and that whatever it is
that's coming up for you.

446
00:46:47,363 --> 00:46:57,491
So it's really powerful to be able to deal with that from the source of where you decided
how to handle that and how to see yourself through all that.

447
00:46:58,132 --> 00:46:59,793
And emotional processing,

448
00:46:59,937 --> 00:47:11,164
whether it's partnered with catamine sessions or whether it's partnered with uh a sound
bath or any other modality of healing work that we do in this holistic alternative healing

449
00:47:11,164 --> 00:47:12,044
world.

450
00:47:13,346 --> 00:47:19,269
I want you to remember that it's exactly what you need at the time that you need it.

451
00:47:21,289 --> 00:47:27,753
that it will bring forward only what you're ready for at that moment in time.

452
00:47:28,414 --> 00:47:30,952
So there's no reason to be afraid of it.

453
00:47:30,952 --> 00:47:32,607
There is no reason to hesitate.

454
00:47:32,607 --> 00:47:39,041
Because if you're like, oh, there are some things from my past I'm just really not ready
to look at, don't worry.

455
00:47:39,041 --> 00:47:44,885
Your body will not bring forward anything that you are not ready to look at and that you
are not ready to process.

456
00:47:46,047 --> 00:47:48,728
Eventually, you will be ready.

457
00:47:48,728 --> 00:47:50,109
And eventually,

458
00:47:51,273 --> 00:48:03,976
you'll move through it and you'll be able to move out shame and see yourself as you truly
are returning to self, not identifying with all of these fragmented ego parts that you

459
00:48:03,976 --> 00:48:11,198
maybe go into when you're in your shadow parts, if that makes sense.

460
00:48:12,298 --> 00:48:20,580
Okay, I think I've generally covered what inner child work and shadow work really are and
hopefully,

461
00:48:20,792 --> 00:48:24,315
brought forward some things that make it clear for you.

462
00:48:24,315 --> 00:48:35,682
If you have any questions or if you are particular have a question like about you that you
would like to ask, um I would love to answer listener questions.

463
00:48:35,682 --> 00:48:43,507
If you want to write in a question, you can do that on our new podcast website,
Practically Dash Magic.

464
00:48:43,708 --> 00:48:49,852
Don't forget, magic is spelled with a C-K, the old, old English magic.

465
00:48:51,294 --> 00:48:55,166
which is actually phonetically correct, if I must say, as a teacher, I just have to say
that.

466
00:48:55,166 --> 00:49:04,231
uh So practically-magic.com is where you can submit questions.

467
00:49:04,291 --> 00:49:09,514
We also have a donate button where you can buy me a coffee.

468
00:49:09,935 --> 00:49:14,877
And I would absolutely appreciate that.

469
00:49:14,877 --> 00:49:20,159
Just a little something to say thank you for providing content that maybe helped you or

470
00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:25,171
that provided you some goodness in your life, some magic in your life.

471
00:49:25,171 --> 00:49:37,368
uh We do have in the store tab of that Practically Magic website, there is going to be
classes and courses available.

472
00:49:37,368 --> 00:49:42,080
We're just sort of making things and putting them up.

473
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:50,104
So if there isn't anything up when you go, check again, because we have different classes
coming up throughout.

474
00:49:50,386 --> 00:49:51,907
the throughout the year.

475
00:49:51,907 --> 00:50:07,398
So I can't tell you what's coming up next because I don't know yet, but there is going to
be a rotation of spells and rituals classes, creating sacred spaces classes, things that

476
00:50:07,398 --> 00:50:11,630
will help you create magic in your everyday life.

477
00:50:11,630 --> 00:50:18,835
So you can apply that to your own practices and whatever spiritual practice you happen to
identify with.

478
00:50:21,042 --> 00:50:30,659
Yeah, lots of exciting things coming up for Practically Magic and announcements being made
as we close out season two.

479
00:50:30,659 --> 00:50:38,335
We are wrapping it up within the next couple episodes and that'll be the end of season two
if you can believe it.

480
00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:42,528
We've actually done two whole seasons of Practically Magic already.

481
00:50:42,588 --> 00:50:45,430
And if I'm saying this and you're thinking, what?

482
00:50:45,591 --> 00:50:47,972
I didn't know there were that many episodes.

483
00:50:48,090 --> 00:50:51,371
Well, there are, so please go check them out.

484
00:50:51,371 --> 00:51:01,724
There are some old episodes, season one, which are incredible about making magic and
healing work and emotional intelligence and all kinds of things that we talk about in this

485
00:51:01,724 --> 00:51:04,865
witchcraft and healing type world.

486
00:51:05,625 --> 00:51:15,288
A lot of things that have to do with ancestral healing and uh Celtic folklore and all of
the things that I bring to the table when I do my healing work.

487
00:51:16,424 --> 00:51:19,181

big feelings while making art and improving their art skill.
