As soon as you said hold your child's hand I cried immediately, this was powerful,
Me too 😭 such a powerful meditation. I had to journal it. My journey in our old he was mixed, but I felt the innocence and joy from little me. 💚
fr i cried when my childhood home popped up
Same here
Same.

This meditation made me cry , threw up , deep pain in my chest and my body was shaking , it was challenging for me because i live in the same house .I needed this release
“You’re safe now.
You are seen.
You are accepted.
You are enough.
You are loved.
I will always be with you.
You live in a new reality now.”
Everytime I do this meditation I see more and more of a home I lost all memories of and Everytime I go to the door kneel down and hug my younger self I cry 🙏🏽 thank you for this gift 💖
Thanks Michael. I should try more
Like many others here I cried uncontrollably at the end. Doing this meditation allowed me to more deeply access some old wounds and emotions from my childhood that I thought I had addressed. I have been feeling closed off to love and positivity recently, and after doing this I felt my defenses begin to coming down. Very powerful. Thank you for this.
I have no idea what just happened I started yesterday and all of a sudden tears started streaming down my face in this world wind of pressure field me it was absolutely amazing I'm on my second day and tears still came down but I don't even realize what it's coming from it's not even a memory extremely strange but amazing so I'm gonna keep doing it every day but I don't know it is mind-boggling
Same thing happened to me. I don't know where it came from. Maybe the first memory that we think about actually means more than we let ourselves remember... Strange but liberating
I cried my eyes out when you said to hold my child self's hand and then to hug her and tell her that she is safe and loved and valued etc. I cried uncontrollably and couldn't even breathe properly anymore. This is a very sensitive and emotional meditation. My sister doesn't have any memories of our childhood, our house, even of herself as a child etc, how can she practice this meditation ? Should she picture the latest house she can remember ?
I had a similar experience with this meditation, i have moved many times and was homeless for a while as a very young child but i pictured the earliest place i could remeber. It was very emotion realizing how much of it i could not remeber but i tried to visualize the few rooms i could. When i tried to picture my child i also went blank, im not sure if you or your sister have any sort of family photos but i visualized myself in a photo of when i was young in that house. I hope this could help.
Me too
You sister need to write about certain things she can remember.People usually tend to repress memories that carry emotional charge.So writing about smallest details she can remember about her childhood can open her up to more memories.
@@daliborjovanovic9488 writing worked for me too
Interestingly enough, I was able to recall/remember the outside of my childhood home and not the inside. I have no idea why
I just did this meditation and I started crying seeing my childhood home. It's been years since I thought of it and I could see it so clearly. I started crying when I entered my room. I could see my toys, my disk player, the posters on the wall, my computer. Everything seemed foggy but I could remember colors and textures and moments. Each room had a different moment frozen, like different moments happening all at once. After I walked out, I saw him saying goodbye from the door. When I hugged him I said "you are going to do so many amazing things and you are going to love so many people and go so many places you wouldn't believe it". And he was grateful too that life would get better. Thank you so much for this and for your book that led me here today.
I didn’t know I needed this until this very moment. Thank you so much 😢
Thank you for this. At the end when I had to consoled my inner child, I had a meltdown and started to cry.
Bcp de bruit...
Thanks so much for this. So powerful! This is the first time I ever try this. I went to the home I lived in in my adolescence, from about 13-19.. A lot of trauma during those years. After doing this, I felt such a peace and a weight lifted off of my heart, or somewhere deep inside of me. But I also feel very sensitive and vulnerable (I did this in public so maybe thats why!) So strange, so beautiful. I can’t wait to go back to the houses of my earlier childhood too. Thanks again
I struggled at the start because I’ve lived in 18 houses and moved a lot and a big part of my childhood struggles was not feeling settled and being jealous of friends with childhood homes. Then all of a sudden I thought of one house in particular that I’d lived in for a few years and that seems to be the one I was drawn to for this. I cried at the end. So powerful.
First time doing this! I felt really triggered? Is that normal? My childhood was horrible to say the least. And the house I imagined myself in was the one where terrible things happened to me. I couldn't let my inner child stay there so I took her with me to my actual house and that made me feel happy. I don't know if that's how it works hahaha but I'm glad I'm starting this. Thank you, Nicole!! For always helping us. 💞
That's exactly what happened to me. Took her with me like to rescue her/me and bring them to the present. It was quite empowering.
@@h77207 yes!! Exactly :)
You have the power now ❤️ you are the parent. That little girl can grow up with love and support
This. I could not leave her there.
I couldn't leave her either.
As soon as you said picture your childhood home I immediately started ugly crying until the very end. My goodness the power of this meditation. Thank you.
I have done this mediation several times and would guide myself through it but never felt strong emotions until this morning. I did the mediation again and once again didn’t feel any strong emotions so began my day. Then at breakfast I randomly bursted out into tears as if I was like my child self again. I couldn’t stop, I felt as if it truly was me finally letting myself connect to that inner child and the emotions I learned to shove deep down.
I found this one very challenging as my childhood home was full of trauma and the feeling of being unsafe. I told my child repeatedly as we walked through that we were safe, alone and saying goodbye. the hardest part was saying goodbye to our childhood bedroom. I carried them with me to my home now. I can't believe how much happier I am now. been out of there a year and couldn't be more grateful
I thought I'd come back to this and see how I felt now after trying to work on some more of my issues. no tears this time just a tight chest. we felt safe enough to have the people be in the house and it was interesting as we only viewed them as still objects doing a singular task. but we weren't afraid at that point which im very proud of
This was invigorating. It felt amazing to let tears stream down my face. But now outside of the meditation, I find myself holding back my tears again. Something I did all the time when I was younger. I’d like to get to a point where I let myself feel freely, without feeling shame or judgement. Thank you for this
Hey everyone! I've listened to other inner child meditations before and I've cried so much, I found this after a while and I did cry a little during my first listen to it but it didn't make me cry or sad today, it makes me feel less emotional and more safe and secure...
Is it normal that this didn't make me sob??
I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone on this journey 💜
Sending you all love and strength 🖤🖤
Happy New Year 💙
As soon as you said walk through your childhood home & imagine the people, I got such a heavy dark / terror feeling and I was thinking about stopping the meditation because it felt so real. Then I started to feel sorry for the little me. At the part where you said to kneel I started crying so much and I never cry. I felt so much stress relief and self compassion which i usually don’t have and so much gratefulness for the positive things I’ve changed in my life.
Thank you for this meditation!
Just like everyone else in the comments, I shed a tear for the love and understanding I gave myself that no other adult did at the time. Thank you so much for this. I wish there was something I could do for you, in return.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to you for this, and everything else you’ve done Nicole..
Thank you so much for helping me meditate this morning with my inner child. This powerful meditation I know has helped me plant seeds of healing. I cried so deeply, I felt so utterly seen. I still do. So does she.
I appreciate this so much as I Realise I still need time to Open up on my inner Child and the Emotions coming up with this. Will Keep doing the work and be Gentle w myself! :) lets See what happens! ♡
It actually amazes me how much detail I can remember from my childhood home, it's like a 3D reconstruction of every fibre of carpet, every mark on the wall or a small piece of peeling paint. I can remember the touch temperature of things and feeling of different textures. Every smell and every detail like little stickers left on a window by my brother or a pattern in a tile that looked like a face. Even down to what type of leaves were on each different plant and how they felt. So strange how my mind can remember things in this level of detail, but i can hardly remember my own phone number or what i did yesterday.
This meditation retraumatised me. Thanks for the heads up
I cried so incredibly hard. This is something I never realized needed healing!
This was amazing, thank you. Whenever I listen to inner child meditations I feel so sorry for my lonely inner child and cry like I did listening to this, I need to give my inner child the love her never truly got and heal, thank you again this is truly meaningful work you do ❤️
I have never commented on a UA-cam video. But thank you Nicole. This made me cry
All the guided inner child meditations I found on the internet are full of explanations/comments about the inner child. It makes me feel like I am listening to a podcast or something, and it makes it hard for me to focus on my visualization of my inner child and go into a trace. I love that this guided meditation does not have that, so thank you!
That was intense, I was in complete tears throughout this entire meditation. What got me initially was sitting on my porch of my childhood home and holding my little self hand and entering in my home. It was a sense of heaviness on me. As I began to explore many memories came to mind. And what seal it was leaving and telling my telling my little self they are safe, loved, enough. I did not expect to feel this way, so powerful yet needed.
Thank you for this this has become part of my nightly routine. It's helped me a lot so far. I've been doing it consistently for a couple of weeks now.
Been doing this since a year now to self regulate and self soothe after being emotionally overwhelmed,it always helps me stay grounded and open instead of burying it down.Inner child meditation and work has been revolutionary for me and I couldn't be more grateful ❤
Thank you for this meditation. I had a hard time picturing my childhood home because we moved 18 times before I moved away from my parents. I managed to picture one of the homes and when we were asked to leave I kind of didnt want to. Even though my childhood was traumatic and I experienced a lot of sorrow and pain I wanted to stay there. Both my parents are dead and I miss them dearly. But I left with myself as a child in my hand and took her with me to where I live now and it felt good. Will listen to this again, feels like it heals me.
I started crying during this… and I ended up meditating more with my inner child after this video ended. I wasn’t ready to leave her just yet. It was so needed and so fulfilling
This meditation is so powerful. It always takes me back to my childhood home with so much vision. I still cry when I'm doing it. I had an aha moment tonight. A spiritual awakening. ♥️💯
Universe brought me to you when I was screaming for help to help me understand ❤️you are truly a gifted Angel 🌈thank you
thank you and I now embrace my inner child and give him all he hadn't received. I forgive myself and ask for forgiveness from him. Blessings to us all.
Just did this for the first time and in tears! I didn’t expect it to take me where it did, but so incredibly healing. Going to integrate this into my routine. Thank you so much, Nichole!
Did this one again was crying so heavily again. I love my inner child and i hate what i have become. Im tired of this nonsense
FULL Perspective loving your inner child is the start to loving yourself again. Please don’t spend any more time hating what you have become, you now only need to spend time in positivity of what you are ABOUT to become and it’s going to be radiant and fill the hearts of many including yourself
Saaame.
I don't hate what you are now (when you wrote this message). And if you are seeing yourself more clearly every day, thats a sign of healing, and then the nonsense can start to be set straight. Understanding how painful it is to be the way we currently are is often essential to motivate us. We become this way to avoid pain. But staying this way will cause more pain for us and others.
I've never seen my child from this perspective, it's crazy because I had just a couple of children around me on the recent years, and I could connect fine with my inner child because of that. It's crazy to notice we actually were another completely different person, I loved it
Wow! Just discovered this one. Mercy! Crying my eyes out. Thank you. Nothing like a good shaky cry.
Tears, so many tears. I live just around the corner from my childhood home. But I’ve never explored it like that before!!
Thank you for this and the tears that I wept upon holding my inner child and consoling her. All is well. Love and light to you and yours, everyone.
Thank you so much for this! I visualised us walking into my first childhood 'home' (we moved about a lot as my dad was in the army). We walked around downstairs, no one to be seen - it felt lonely. We walked upstairs and my inner child sat on the floor of her bedroom stroking her bunny rabbit's ears for comfort, soothing herself. We got up and explored the other rooms, finding my mum sitting on the bed crying. We went over to comfort her and she pushed us away. At the end when I hugged her I cried uncontrollably. Thank you for this experience. It was so healing. So much love and respect for you x
When I was imagining how my family was acting and how they look, I saw smiles and love. That’s how it generally was.
I explained that there is nothing wrong with him, that rather there is something wrong with his family. That they do love him, but they want him to be the ideal son. There will be times when they scold you for walking or talking a certain way, but that is because they want to fit so desperately in the community. They’ll act like they are embarrassed of you sometimes, but there is nothing wrong with you.
I then realized, that now I unfortunately carry that behavior with me. Now, I desperately want to fit in. I’ll distance myself from people who stray too far from the norm. Fearful of being iced out and rejected like I was as a child.
Lots of work to do.
Once i took ahold of my child's hand I had tears , especially walking into my old child hood home. So many memories. Definitely felt something during this meditation!
This is my favorite inner child healing meditation because it is focused and so effective. Thank you for making it available.
Definitely not what I was expecting, I cried a lot... I havent been able to cry for so long and I've wanted to. I'm going to try this a bunch more times and see the progress. Thank you Nicole. This is the hard stuff that's important.
I cried as soon as I pictured my little child on the front step. Such an overwhelming amount of emotion, and I couldn't understand why I was crying.
Does anyone know the deeper meaning behind this? And why this touches such a soft spot in so many of us? I'd love to hear your thoughts
It's because the younger part of us is carrying alot of trauma, like a mortal wound of the soul/nervous system. Because most of us ignore our pain instead of heal our trauma, we try to stuff down our emotions and ignore them as we become dysregulated when a trauma is triggered. Our core beliefs about being unloveable are formed as a child, most likely from caretakers who were not emotionally responsive. And so we internalise toxic beliefs to survive and avoid abandonment. When you finally address that core belief, a surge of emotion will occur since it's been neglected for so long.
I cried because I knew all the hurt, pain, sadness and trauma that would come to my child, I didn't even want her to go into the house. That was where I first felt all of the rejection and fear
@@MariaGutierrez-zc2jvSame here. I couldn't bring myself to feel safe. Or to console my inner child to feel safe, as I still feel fearful, helpless and in pain. I'm still living with my parents as I have no job, so that makes it more difficult to feel better. I'm getting married soon, I want to heal. How to heal while you're staying with the same people who caused you pain?
i glanced some comments before doing this meditation and saw that many people cried. i really didn't think i would, but from the time i saw myself out on that front step and all the way through to the end, i was bawling.
Thanks for this video! Each time I have done this meditation I can remember my childhood home in more detail and also heal from some anxious triggers that I have had buried inside me
Thank you for sharing this meditation. I really felt the reassurance and safety the adult self was giving my inner child. It felt so good to be able to give that to myself. I can give myself the things I need now that my parents weren’t able to give me then. Thanks again! I plan on making this a regular part of my existing meditation practice. ✌🏻🙏
Had a hard time walking out of my childhood home. I had such a nice childhood and I didn’t want that little girl to go through the things I knew she would.
My parents are coming for an extended visit today. My mother and I have a pretty traumatic past due to her past being unmedicated. I am finding my inner child is very scared right now for the next 8 days. Leaning down and hugging my small child and telling her what a beautiful life she will make for herself.
Thank you so much for this lovely video.. My mom isn't alive now.. I lost her in childhood.. Today I feel the moment with her while entering in room.. I caught my doll... I saw my mom... So love it.. I wish I could hug my mom in reality.. Love u mom ❤❤be in peace nd happy 😊😊😊😊
Wow, that was powerful! As soon as I walked through the house to my bedroom the tears started!
Did this meditation for the first time. Felt really weird when entering my childhood home, a bit unease. It felt empty. I didn't want to stay there with my inner child and the moment we walked out I felt kind of relief. Did anyone experience similar thing?
Yes. It was empty and cold and dirty. I felt very uncomfortable in there.
yes! the house was dark and I wanted to comfort the childhood me so bad. But walking into the new future was difficult for me too because I still live in my childhood home. I didn't know what to picture
I was nearly murdered in my childhood home. Yeah, kinda felt a little retraumatised after it. So your feelings aren't alone.
It is very simply made and yet very connected. Thank you and admire your work Immensely. GOD BLESS 🙏🏼
Most of my pain started around age 11. When I pictured my inner child I saw myself during my teenage years in my school uniform. Home alone. Lived with mom and step dad. He was a selfish man and her mentally ill. I was bullied by everyone. No peace. Suicidal thoughts. Just mangled. I wish I could forget. Somehow just not remember.
When I held her I just wept, wished someone had held me back then.
This was so AWESOME! This is the work I must continue to do to heal and be whole! Thank you so much for this offering!
I am so grateful for this, thank you so much 💚
Love this meditation. Thank you for all you doing you have changed my life xxx
I thought I was a nutter by crying so hard! But after reading the comments I can see it wasn't just me. Thank you Nicole.
I did not think that I would begin to cry when prompted to hug my little self and tell her she is safe.
This was amazing! Thank you! I can’t believe how vividly I remembered my childhood home. Like down to the littlest things.
This one hit. I remembered: there is still that little child inside of me, and it will stay there, and it can teach me so much. I love this child so much.
Thanks I cried , I saw my innerchild she looked at me with trust she was soft equally naive I could see the fear in her eyes , I hugged her then suddenly I could see the her pet coming along with her . Thank you it was bit emotional tears running from eyes
This was very helpful. I need to open myself up more, and do get closer to my inner child. Feels like there is a lot of work left to do as there is a barrier I feel every time. But this time I felt some progress. I didn't feel as much resistance from my inner child.
I am so grateful for you & this channel. Thank you.
Thank you for such a healing meditation. It teared me up. I loved it. Thank you and lots of blessings
Woah, I started crying in the beginning and by the end I freakin lost it. This was powerful, clearly I have some work ahead of me 😂
I cried when I heard remind her you’re safe, I wish I could go back and tell her everything is goin to be okay it rly will
I just listened to this in my car and I’m balling myself eyes out.
So this session wasn't enough. I need more. Like I finished just crying my eyes out, still holding onto shame and guilt
Such a powerfull short meditation. Thank you. ❤
I have tweaked this slightly so that when you take the child's hand you first ask the child 'please allow me to take your hand' so as not to scare the child. And the same when hugging the child 'please allow me to hug you and hold you in my arms'. I too was in tears doing this for the 1st time.
Yes, I flinched when she said "grab" your child's hand.
I don’t know why, but this made me tear up while doing it. The part where I had to tell my inner child they are loved and they are enough and they are accepted made me tear up :’)
I wish I could relate to all these shared moments in the comments. I have all the signs of a wounded inner child, but all these guided meditations rely so heavy on mental visuals that I cannot create in my mind's eye.
I know what you mean. Whenever someone tells me to picture something like this I can’t wrap my mind around it in the moment. Guided meditations are hard for me because I can’t really relax and get into it for some reason. There are probably many others who feel that way too. Part of me thinks it’s ok to not need to go that route for now. I can still learn and practice things in other ways.
If anyone else wants to add to this please do :)
This was so emotionally intense and also healing. I want to do this a few times a week.
Wow! This was a very powerful out of body Experience for me! I found your work through impact theory and I ordered your book and I have to say I relate to your words.. and I wana show my graditude and say thank you for sharing your work with me. It's making a difference in my life! ♡♡♡
This made me cry my eyes out. Not quite the positive morning meditation I was hoping for but powerful moment the less
Really the most effective Guided Meditation
this was really difficult and i wasn’t ready for this
This was somehow emotional, made me cry although I don't think I have any childhood trauma. The fact that a missed home I think played a role, but not only.
I started bawling when I saw little ole me ....I needed this so bad.
I am actually living in my childhood home for the summer. This meditation was beautiful yet hard to do in the kitchen where some of those childhood memories are stored. Do you have any tips for healing my inner child while still living in the house I grew up in? Or tips to establish a new relationship with the home itself? Thank you. I am moved.
@@carolynstamp6238 Yes, I've been walking about an hour a day. It helps! Thanks.
This is kind of like IFS therapy, but once you establish the healthy adult relationship, you could imagine yourself renovating the house. Originally it's dark and gloomy, but brightening it up with your inner child and burning all the bad things associated with the trauma in your mind.
My inner child thanks you❤
Literally cried doing this
But what if your childhood home is still the same home you're stuck in..? There is heavy grief, knowing that you're still stuck in the same place...as a child...as an adult.
We r with you .... there will be healing
A beautiful meditation, cried a lot. Thanks
Short but packs a punch. Nice one!
Trying to decide which home to choose. I had so many growing up. A few have bad memories and I feel sad during this meditation going into these homes with my "inner child."
Very powerful. Thank you.
I really needed this.
So healing 💪😊 Thank you!!
Thank you. Thank you Nicole. Hugs from Iraq ❤️
HUGS!
Like a few others mentioned, it was really hard for me to visualise the houses i lived in. I moved a lot as a child. I'm guessing the houses i lived in when I was younger would hold the most trauma because my mother was at her most mentally unhealthy back then and I was younger, but I can't remember what those houses looked like. I also found it really hard to visualise myself as a child. I should probably try to look at a photograph of myself as a child while doing this. When you said picture other people in the home, i got a horrible feeling of terror and a made-up visualisation of a horror-film version of my mother appearing like someone from the ring or grudge or something like that. It was scary but it also didn't feel entirely real at the same time. I didn't consciously fear my mother as a child, but perhaps a part of me did. Ultimately, i felt a little too disconnected from my inner child and memories/feelings of the time for this to work well, but these things are a process. I don't know how important it is to have memories from childhood to heal from childhood trauma. I hope not too important.
I saw my parents younger how they were when I was a little baby and when my father hugged me as a little baby I cried that was so beautiful and I wasn't expecting to go back to the house I lived as a baby I didn't knew I remember that house
This was an amazing meditation. It made me understand why I was feeling how I was feeling this weekend. Thank you :-)
Thank you! Very powerful 🙏🏻💕
OKAY i knew it was common to cry while doing these but i didn’t think i would.... i’m crying 😭😭
