Embracing the child within

 As we grow into adulthood, there is a craving to go back to the childhood.

The best indicator is the popularity of posts reminiscing the acts of childhood/school and college days!

Reuniting with childhood friends effortlessly taps into that inner child. There's something magical about it, isn't there? The video accompanying this post is a proof : )

Why does it feel so good, soothing the frayed nervous system?

The answer lies in accessing the stillness within us. Amidst the chaos of our daily lives, it's easy to overlook this reservoir of calmness.

Many of us mistakenly believe that reconnecting with our inner child is a daunting task amidst the hustle and bustle of our stress-induced routines.

On Saturday evening, I had the privilege of facilitating a stress management session for kindergarten teachers. Recognizing their unique bond with childhood, I decided to approach the topic by awakening the child within them.

 We embarked on a journey of laughter, singing a random made-up rhyme, conversing in gibberish, and clapping like children. These playful activities were interspersed with moments of self-awareness practice.

As the session drew to a close, the smiles on their faces spoke volumes. In that moment, these dedicated educators embraced their inner children, setting aside thoughts of lesson plans and dinner preparations. The session was extended by an extra immersive half-hour, a testament to the power of reconnecting with our inner child.

Amidst life's demands, the key to inner peace may just be rediscovering the child within us. So, let's embrace the joy, wonder, and innocence of child within. After all, within each of us lies the boundless magic of Stillness waiting to be rediscovered.

Are you ready to embrace the child within?
