Your guidance
From the Akasha
GUIDANCE 2
Take a breathe, lead yourself land and open to the guidance that is here for you - you were drawn here for a reason.
Take what resonates, ruminate on it, let it shift you and leave the rest.
What you may be experiencing
I see a path in front of you. A path that you see to.
Your vision for the future.
And yet there's a lot of confusion, stagnancy and a sense of feeling stuck. I get the sense your inner child is currently running the show.
They feel defiant and scared, and like it's all too hard, so why even bother. This is all protection, strategies to keep you safe from the unknown.
And perhaps because for so long you felt you neglected your inner child, or you felt the themes of abandonment and neglect so strongly in childhood, you don't want to bulldoze her and ignore her wants and desires.
What’s being asked of you
But here's the thing: children want parenting. They want to trust that someone is looking out for their highest good and providing the structure and safety that supports them.
You're being asked to step further into your inner adult, your inner parent, and show your inner child the ultimate love. That means honouring her needs and listening to her desires, and also parenting her by providing the structure: "This is how things are going to go. This is what we're going to do."
A simple plan, support and structure around your goal or path can do a lot for your nervous system. The plan can be flexible and change as you go. Its purpose is to give you the path and the energetic movement forward you've been craving.
This isn't about bulldozing your inner child, who may be scared of what this path or success could bring. It's about hearing her out, letting these feelings be expressed, shifting and healing where needed, and giving her the parenting and confidence she's actually craving.
A practice for this month
Place a hand on your heart and invite your inner child, or the part of you that is scared or worried about the future, to sit with you. Let them have their say first, truly listen to them. You might ask:
What are you scared will happen if we move forward?
What do you need from me to feel safe?
What would help you trust me to lead?
Then, as your inner adult, write a simple plan for the month ahead: just the next few steps, held loosely. Share it with them, and let them know you'll be looking after both of you as you go.
what can shift
Once you do this, I sense a calming through your nervous system. Stepping up actually allows you to relax more into your vision, and from there you can move forward one step at a time.
And if you find yourself continually falling into a loop where you can't follow through or move forward in the way you'd like, this is an invitation to look at what lies beneath it, and to address it at the depth that's required.
HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU
Wanting to go deeper?
Learning to parent and be with your inner child is a practice, and it can help to have support while you find your footing.
In my Inner Healing and Integration sessions I weave together Inner Relationship Focusing and Aaruka Healing. Together they offer a gentle way of sitting with the scared and protective parts of you, hearing what they need, and supporting the healing that becomes possible once they feel heard, so trust can build and your inner adult can lead without overriding anyone.
Because we meet over a series of sessions, we can work with whatever comes up as you take real steps along your path, so the support and structure are there while you're moving, not just at the start.
