The GIFT of Learning to do Inner-Child Work
At present, our world is moving through a time of complex stress. The first step in any challenging tine us to understand that stress is not just one thing.
In this important workshop we will cover how to live well with a variety of stressors going on at once:
Anticipatory Stress:
Anticipatory stress, called excitement, gives us extra energy and motivation to make the season bright. Over time this motivated state can accumulate and make us push in ways that make it hard to recognize when we are reaching or past exhaustion. For the child within who had this type of energy chronically imprinted at a young age it manifests as hyper-vigilance and actually interrupt the ability to find daily enjoyment.
Nostalgic Stress:
The holidays and year’s end are also naturally fraught for many with something that I call nostalgic stress. Sometimes this can come from observing annual traditions with or without loved ones. Nostalgic Stress could also be called generational stress, that can surface when we gather/deal with siblings as adults, give palliative care to elderly parents, join in on family reunions, or even the occasional Sunday dinner. Often we don’t recognize some of the depth of these undercurrents until they begin to interrupt everyday functioning in both short, or long term.
Inner-child stress:
This is a special kind of stress that can surface during the holidays, as well as during cyclical seasons of planetary weather. Inner-child stress can stem from both unmet needs in childhood, adult situations that trigger feelings of overwhelm and energy that was stored in the body as a person grew, without realizing it, and processing it normally.
I have practiced and taught yoga while also working in astrology for 30 years, where inner-child trauma-informed life-coaching has become a skill that is one of the center-points of my work. I have nearly three decades of experience and practice in the power of addressing the inner child.
During these special online classes, I will teach you how to recognize the voice of your inner child and strengthen parts of yourself that have been calling out to you for attention and care.
This is sacred work we will do together, in the context of Bodhi Yoga™ and Soul Weather™ astrology as we learn practical and potent ways to harness this celestial weather that was originally set in its orbit for our benefit.
If you are too busy to join live, that’s okay. You can watch the recordings at your convenience between filming and March of 2023. The tools you learn in this valuable workshop will last a lifetime.

What is your "Inner-child" and why do they matter?
Our inner child is a part of ourselves that’s been present within each of us ever since we were conceived, from our in-utero experience through all the years after when we were young and developing into tender selves: baby, infant, toddler, young child, and middle school year.
As we grow, our inner child will leave us a very important trail of breadcrumbs to recover, teach, fill in lapses and gaps in our healthy development and fully join us as we embody our adult Selves.
Your “inner child” is a part of your subconscious that has been picking up messages way before it was able to fully process what was going on (physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually). Your inner child also holds the purest versions of your essential Self, who remembers why you came into mortality and what your highest potential is here. Your inner child holds the emotions, memories, perspectives, spatial relationships, and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future.
The inner child within each of us remembers clearly the sights, smells, and experiences of childhood. It holds them all within us like an open sentinel to our innocent past, before we could form a fully self-contextualized adult experience.
If a person is to function well in life, being able to put things their life in context is such an important key to living well.
A very precious few of us will be like the child Buddha, who from a young age is carefully and tenderly guided, physically spiritually, ethically, intellectually, energetically, and psychologically, to be prepared to become a sage as an adult, because the people in the culture who are raising us are being driven by their own inner child experiences, motives, and wounds.
Some people want their children to experience what they did because it was wonderful. Some people want their children to experience what they did because it was awful and their own inner child needs company. Some people so try so very hard to give their children a different experience, but unwittingly re-create their own inner child’s unanswerable calls for help in their own children, or trigger them in friends, family, coworkers, etc.
Raising children in and/or living in a society where the inner child is calling for acknowledgment and help, creates all sorts of complex circumstances in adulthood.
Often our own addictions, physical, emotional, and spiritual, are just a coping mechanism to drown out the calls of the inner child.
Our inner child is actually the aspect of ourselves that was fresh from God and has remained so on some level, but also the part that escorted us through our earliest journeys that had to adapt to mortality. The inner child is the part of us that remembers both the sweet and the bitter of everything we have ever experienced.
Our inner child remembers the love we received or the hugs and cares we did not.
Our inner child holds our hope and fears in all our years.
Our inner child holds our capacity for all joy and all tears.
Our inner child holds our anticipation and anxiety triggers in adulthood.
Our inner child is present when we start our first job, begin to date and find a spouse, and our inner child becomes very present as we begin having children ourselves.
Depending on life experiences, we can have either a very strong, settled inner child, but more commonly we tend to respond from what is unfinished in our upbringing as adults and pass on our inner child weaknesses and wounds to children, friends, and family around us. If we’re lucky, the inner child can give us a valuable mirror that reflects back to us what real healing needs to look like.
The inner child is actually the one who can lead us to our wisest selves.
Strengthening the inner child strengthens every potential in every corner of our life. It helps us function in the present, it helps us recognize our triggers, and our default responses from the family and culture, who have brought us up.
A strong inner child creates an emotionally literate, psychologically strong, and more spiritually whole adult, who can raise their own children, develop their own adult relationships, and live in a way that is not only free from past triggers but consciously creating a future of resplendent resilience, regardless of how life challenges you.
It is an incredibly empowering work to strengthen the inner child. No one can do it for you, because the way it will heal and open your potential is the path your inner child has been attempting to walk all along.
It’s you and only you can reach into all the realities of your past, warmly clasp the small hand that has been reaching out for so long, and bring the younger version of yourself home.
You are the one you have been waiting for and you’re strong enough to do this brave thing, to become a child, to enter the kingdom of God.
There is untapped empowerment and limitless potential when we hear and answer the call
of the child within each of us.
