“When you are a child, all things are possible. There are no limitations,” says Gary Young. “When you find your inner child, you have found your true self. The child in you is your creativity.”

Stress is a mess of chaotic survival messages whipping through our body at high speed. These messages can keep us sick, tired, angry, hurt, stuck, sad, and put us into a total fog day after day.

Inner Child essential oil blend releases emotions that distort memories in our cells. Think of this like a picture or video of past events where little edits were made to present something threatening, even if that was not the case.

The symptoms of this vary widely, but we might notice some patterns:

• When someone tries to be honest, especially friends/family, we continually hear their voice criticizing us for months afterward.
• We find ourselves revisiting the same short list of past hurts on a regular basis, telling stories about what someone did or said to us, thinking each time that if we just vent…the pressure of that pain or offense will let up.
• We create an image of ourselves (typically a bad one) and no matter what we do to take care of ourselves, that recording makes sure we stay ashamed, disappointed, and hopeless, or…
• We finally start feeling better about ourselves because we have fulfilled an imaginary list of “things that will make us feel accomplished” – only to find that the stress of keeping up with that list starts to slowly steal from our relationships and our sanity.

The word for this emotional cycle in a nutshell is: Distortion.

Distorted self-image invariably results in distorted perception of others. Distorted memories are like scales where we move the weights around to try to make the blame make sense – it was all me, or it was all them.

Another issue this leads to is erratic energy. This is where we experience the extremes of being overstimulated and trying to do everything at once followed by periods of exhaustion where we can hardly do anything.

These are patterns that signal we are in distress.

Other Activation:

Apply one drop of Inner Child onto the pad of your thumb and then place your thumb onto the roof of your mouth.

Place several drops of Inner Child in your diffuser. You can also apply some around the navel and rub a drop into your palms to inhale directly.

Think about some of the patterns that came to mind as you read through this post, and ask yourself:

• What else is possible?
• How does this old memory/pattern benefit me?
• Can I release this?

Don’t push too hard to answer the questions yet. Sit with them, because this tape has probably been on repeat in your cells for a long time.

Thankfully, Inner Child is not just a haphazard blend of oils that smell nice! It’s a combination high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells.

Then other compounds rewrite that code to restore the original perfect copy, one that will not keep us pulled into the physical and emotional effects of stress.

This is a process, but the great thing about our essential oils is that we have a CHOICE to embrace that process instead of loading our bodies up with lots of toxins and other things that create more confusion in the cells.

When it comes to this cycle of what is distorted in our cellular memory, we have straightforward options – to become aware and to receive love that can cover all the ugly stuff that vulnerability brings up, or to keep the door closed, saving the consequences for a later time when our body is too compromised to hide it anymore.

As you peel back the layers, don’t be concerned if you don’t have all the answers! Part of the release is allowing yourself to ask questions again. 

This opens the cranial sutures and stimulates the pineal, pituitary, and other organs of the emotional brain that occupy the space just above the roof of your mouth.

Walking backwards while you have your thumb in your mouth looks stupid but it changes the rotation in the pelvis, elongating the spine, and decompressing the discs in your back. Thus, you can clear the nerve channels for energy to flow smoothly throughout your brain and body.

Sometimes it can help us to understand the oils, if we think of them as personalities. It’s not about knowing a specific situation where they should be used an exact way but instead understanding how they work so we know the many ways we can incorporate them into our lives.

Inner Child – The Therapist

When you visit a therapist, they do their work, not by talking, but through listening. They encourage you to share the feelings, past, and thoughts that make up your inner workings.

To process through how you came to your patterns, actions, and current beliefs. Many times there were situations where someone as a child felt unseen, unheard, or unvalued. In order to move forward, it is important to look back and allow that inner child to speak out.
