inner adult

This episode is an invitation to practice together with Liana and Max.  Liana introduces and explains the social mediation practice they chose to share. Together they will demonstrate a Multidimensional Meditation on Inner Adulthood as an extension of the previous episode.   This is an invitation for a social inquiry and an opportunity for attunement to mature curiosity.  

Liana and Max are candidly discussing what inner adulthood means for each of them.   They talk about strong resistance to adulting, challenges with finding a healthy balance between maturity and carefree energy that is typically associated with childhood,  self-agency and relating to self from different perspectives, and how 13 specific qualities of Self from IFS ( Internal Family System) model gives an inspiring list of traits for an aspiring well-functioning adult.  Join them in inquiring how it is different from the inner parent and its relationship with the numerous inner children.   There are fascinating insights that arise spontaneously from the joint field of engaged curiosity and kind awareness.  To give you a taste, the infinite intelligence, worthiness, and interconnectedness all make a brief appearance before the sudden realization turns the burden of adulthood on its head.  Finally, they leave you with some food for thought and even Peter Pan and Captain Hook are thrown into the mix as a parting favor. 

Who is the inner child? How do we know when we're experiencing the world through the lens of our wounded inner child? How can learning to relate to our inner child, inner critic, and inner adult assist us in living more fully in the present moment? 

Join me for this powerful, in-depth conversation with my dear friend, Natasha Levinger, on inner child healing. Natasha's book, Healing Your Inner Child: Re-Parenting Yourself for a More Secure & Loving Life, was recently published and it's easily one of my favorite books of the year. 

To celebrate the release of the book, I invited Natasha for a conversation where we discussed what inner child healing is, the resistance that can come up when we engage with our inner child, and how inviting our inner adult can greatly assist us in healing our inner child.

In addition, Natasha and I also discussed timeline jumping and how inner child healing can help us on a collective level. 

CW: We briefly mentioned suicidal ideation in this episode.
