Remember Mindfulness – sit comfortably

The child within

Childhood can be tough. Traumatic events leave
emotional scars as well as physical ones. The absence
of love causes lasting psychological pain. A damaged
child learns to be wary of attachments because:

• Love is conditional (manipulation)
• Love makes you weak and vulnerable
• Love must be searched for and can be lost
• Love hurts but emotions need to be hidden.
  Many of us have had bad childhood experiences
  that still affect us. The way they have influenced
  our attitudes to life may be small – or large: Don’t
  do that, you’re not clever enough to try or don’t say
  what you really think – it’ll get you into
  trouble. Addiction is often rooted in attachment
  problems. Do I recognise the suffering of
  my inner child and see there is more work to do?
• 
  Past suffering remains a measure of who we are, a
  characteristic of our inner child. To comfort this
  child, we must understand suffering, because some
  good may come of it in the end. This can seem
  contradictory but is often a theme of religious
  teaching. Today, I will treat others with kindness.
