79-Point Inner Child Clearing:
Clearing the Wounded & Abandoned Child

Part 1 of 4 Clearings: Clearing Blocks & Stuckness in Our 4 Major "Survival Archetypes"
that govern how safe we feel to actualize our authentic self in the world

Clearing #1: The Inner Child -- Revised 79-Step Process

DO I FEEL SAFE TO BE MYSELF, TO TAKE RISKS, TO TAKE ACTION BASED ON MY INNER PROMPTINGS?

DO I FEEL SAFE TO LEAVE BEHIND RELATIONSHIPS AND SITUATIONS THAT NO LONGER SERVE ME, BUT TO OPEN MYSELF TO BEING AUTHENTIC AND VULNERABLE IN RELATIONSHIPS AND SITUATIONS THAT ARE HEALTHY?

All of us have an Inner Child, no matter our age.  The Inner Child is the Archetype within us that gets established in childhood, and largely defines our life-long perceptions of safety, family, nurturing, personal boundaries, and responsibility.

Most everyone comes from a dysfunctional family, at least at some level.  And that childhood dysfunction, especially when compounded by the accumulation of thousands of childhoods we've experienced over many lifetimes -- and the inherited dysfunctional karma we've brought in through our ancestral lineages -- can create life-long problems where we may not understand the role of personal responsibility and proper boundaries in creating relationships and being able to accomplish goals.

When the Inner Child is blocked, we may unconsciously block every desire, every project, every relationship, every form of good we try to accomplish, without ever really knowing why.

When the Inner Child is blocked, we may not be able to tune into the larger Divine vision for our lives, and even if we can, we may not be able to properly ground and bring that vision into manifestation.

When the Inner Child is blocked, everything in life can seem frustrating and stressful, like there is no joy, innocence, or play in living.  Everything feels difficult and like we're constantly pushing back against some invisible force.

When the Inner Child is blocked, a part of us remains stuck in childhood, and keeps reacting to life through the lens of an immature, tantruming child.  A tantruming child doesn't know how to properly own their emotional reactions, and so finds having conscious relationships to be quite difficult.  A tantruming child can't delay gratification, and finds long-term goals impossible to attain.  A tantruming child doesn't understand that they are their own distinct being, and will need to discover who they are apart from how their family, teachers, religion, and society have sought to define them.

When the Inner Child is blocked, there can be an immature and wounded voice deep within us that is longing to be heard and acknowledged, and until the strong emotional patterns that have created the blocks in the first place are healed, all forms of manifestation --- relationship, health and healing, money manifestation, success in life, etc. -- can all remain indefinitely blocked.

In fact, the unhealed, unresolved Inner Child can project strong restrictive energy even years into the future, creating accidents, dis-eases, dysfunction, life collapses (including death), betrayals, negative reactionary self-fulfilling prophecies -- all because this Original Child aspect of us is longing to be heard, to be loved, to be validated, to be healed, and to resolve its deepest childhood pain.

In this clearing, we are going to approach the Inner Child from a subconscious and karma perspective, working with the power of Spirit to clear and resolve Inner Child blocks that were created in this life, past lives, and that you inherited from your ancestral lineages.

This work will not substitute for doing deep conscious Inner Child healing work with a professional therapist.  That work may still be very important and necessary for you to do.  However, this work will help resolve subconscious restrictions that can be difficult to access through therapy, making the conscious Inner Child work you may do even more effective.

We are going to work with resolving karma through the lens of several well-defined light and shadow sub-types of the Inner Child that may affect each of us at some level.  We are also going to work with larger-scale Inner Child clearing processes, and clearing and harmonizing the Inner Child's relationship to the Inner Adult Archetype.

Here is the overall process we are going to use in this group clearing:

The Child Archetype:

1. The Child Archetype: The Guardian of our Original Innocence

2. The Child Archetype helps establish our initial and life-long perceptions of life, safety, nurturing, loyalty, & family.

3. The overall themes of The Child Archetype include: responsibility, innocence, dependency, & authority

Overall Archetypal Principles that are Important to Clear and Resolve:

1. engaging our personal power in the material world

2. our sense of personal power determines the quality of our physical lives

3. dealing with moral issues or suffering the consequences

4. developing self-esteem, the beginning of spiritual maturity

Various Sub-Aspects of the Inner Child Archetype:

1. The Wounded Child (shadow aspect):

1. the young suffering child within who has experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, painful experiences in childhood, and that tries to protect and defend us from future suffering, but actually needs care and love

2. Healing The Child Archetype involves putting a stop to the inner-directed abuse of the Wounded Child.

2. The Forgiving Child (light aspect): awakens to a deeper sense of compassion and a desire to help others transform their pain through forgiveness.  Open and sensitive, with a large capacity for heart-feeling.

3. The Abandoned, Neglected, or Orphan Child Archetype (shadow aspect):

1. I did not receive the nurturing necessary to become responsible and independent, therefore I have guilt and shame.

2. living life constantly on guard for the possibility of being abandoned again

3. never truly accepted by my family

4. afraid of both attachment and rejection, and so will reject others first

5. it's hard to trust anyone -- my partner, friend, or even loved ones with my best interests in mind

6. stifled maturation based on never recovering from growing up "outside the tribe"

7. "I feel deeply unworthy, never good enough, unworthy of true love and commitment."

2. the Immature Child (shadow aspect) wants to live outside the boundaries of adulthood, resisting the maturation process

3. challenges can include floundering and being ungrounded between stages of life because of not laying a solid foundation for functioning adulthood

13. The Magical/Innocent Child (light aspect): well-developed imagination; see life as pure possibility; "anything is possible"; inspiring to others even during difficult times

14. The Hopeless Child (shadow aspect): gives up on dreams too easily, falls into despair, retreats into fantasy to avoid dealing with problems and reality

15. Inner Child Blocks at Certain Life Points: The Child may have become blocked or stuck at a certain point or points in this life or in previous lives.  We will identify these points, and work with the soul to transmute the blocks.

16. Inner Child Stuck in the Past, and Needs to Be Progressed Chronologically

17. Inner Child projecting problems, dis-ease, dysfunction, life collapses (including death), negative reactionary self-fulfilling prophecies into the future -- must clear these to support longevity, and the fulfillment of the Divine Destiny for my life
