When I was a child from the age of 8 years old up I had abusive teachers calling me thick, stupid, been made to stand on a chair with a dunce hat on, been beaten by a teacher for absolutely nothing apart from not understanding maths, my father was dying so mum had a lot on, which left me with no one to turn too. I’m 59 now and there’s never a day goes by where I call myself thick, weak, stupid. It feels like I have wounds that will not or ever heal. My mind is somewhere where you do not want to be and it crawls in, I know that someday I will take my life, I don’t want to die but I know the only way to find peace is through silencing of the mind and I welcome that like greeting a long lost best friend.
Hi @patbriggsmbr, I'm truly sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced since childhood. It's important to acknowledge the strength you've shown by sharing your story. Remember, it's never too late to start resolving these deep-seated issues and begin a journey toward inner peace and understanding. Your experiences do not define your worth or capabilities. Please consider seeking support from professionals who can guide you through these feelings and help you find a more peaceful state of mind. Additionally, our Wu Wei Wisdom community is here for you to share, connect, and find encouragement from others who may have had similar experiences. You're not alone, and there is hope and support available. If you're ever feeling overwhelmed, please reach out to a healthcare provider or a support hotline in your area. Your life is valuable, and there are people who want to help you find peace and a sense of self-kindness that you truly deserve. Kind Regards, David
David, I believe my inner child 'froze' when I accepted a specific religious, (not spiritual) teaching. I believe I am in the midst of defrosting and I thank you both so much. I am on the Facebook page, but this spot was the place to post. Thank you both ❤
Hi @cybermom41, It's wonderful to hear about your journey of self-discovery and transformation. Recognising and embracing the process of 'defrosting' your inner child is a courageous step. Remember, this journey is about progress, not perfection. It's great to have you on Facebook in our Wu Wei Wisdom community. Feel free to share your experiences and insights there, as your story can inspire and support others. Thank you for your heartfelt message, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Kind Regards, David

🀄👍 Hi, great, thanks. Yes, like a fish who asks " What is this Water they all talk about? ". It can be answered, that the eternal spirit supports all things, when fish swim in aware and accepting harmony, the whole ocean thrives.
Hi @TimCCambridge, Thank you for your thoughtful reflection. Your analogy beautifully illustrates how being in harmony with our surroundings and our inner selves enhances not only our own well-being but also contributes to the thriving of the whole. Your insight into the eternal spirit, or what we refer to as the Shen spirit, aligning with the essence of Wu Wei, is profound. It's about flowing with life, being present, and accepting, much like the fish in water. It's wonderful to have you as an active member of our community, sharing and exploring these deep concepts together. Kind Regards, David

I want to work with my inner child through the golden thread- method you describe. I have listened to many of your talkings about this, but now I want to practise! Where do I find meditations about it, that I can do by myself?. I gave searched a lot, but can just find one or two meditations about the golden thread! Dont want more talka about it, I want to practice!! So confused by all instagram, groups etc...JUST want to find some videos with guidance to practise this! Is there an easy way to get meditations in a list somewhere?? Have clicked on many links but only get info about more meetings, sessions , fb-groups, instagram etc. I get so confused and stressed!! Can not handle all information. PLEASE can you give me a link to good meditations about the inner child?? Would be very grateful for an EASY WAY to save such meditations so I can EASY find them when I want to practise. THANKYOU for helping!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi @mariagunnarsson1892, Thank you for reaching out with your enthusiasm to practice and work with your inner child using the golden thread method. I understand the challenge of navigating through a plethora of information and the desire for a straightforward path to practice. I recommend visiting our official KZhead channel home page, where we aim to organise our resources effectively. Look for a section dedicated to meditations or the golden thread technique. Often, these platforms will have playlists or categories that can help you filter the content to find exactly what you're looking for-just the meditations, without additional discussions or introductions. If you're finding it overwhelming with the amount of information online, consider creating a personal playlist or a bookmark folder on your browser where you can save the direct links to the meditations you find most beneficial. This way, you can return to them easily whenever you wish to practice. Your dedication to working with your inner child is commendable, and I'm here to support you in finding the resources you need to make your practice fruitful and calming. Kind Regards, David
@@WuWeiWisdom Thankyou very much for the answer, David! I will try the ways you recommended, and will come back with questions if I need to. You do a great work for many of us! 🙏💝🙏 Warm regards, Maria
I had a near drowning incident when i was 6 seems the shock. Fear grief from that incident got stuck in my psyche and i have thede feelings especially grief time to time come to surface and making me vulnerable...when i am resolving it fully experiencing it making these feelings friendly to me i am getting relief and peace....does it go along with wu wei wisdom philosophy??
Hi @khansherani, Absolutely, your process aligns with the Wu Wei wisdom philosophy. By facing and accepting your feelings, you're practising the art of non-resistance, a core aspect of Wu Wei. This approach of making your feelings 'friendly' and not fighting against them allows for a natural flow of resolving issues, leading to peace and relief. Your journey of embracing and understanding your emotions is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Keep nurturing this connection with yourself, and remember, you're not alone on this journey. Kind Regards, David.
Thank you...I feel enadequte at age 66...ive been to councelling and and feel more calm but my pendelum is constantly swinging...any advice?
Hi, Thank you for sharing your feelings openly. It's important to acknowledge that feeling a sense of inadequacy at any age is a common human experience, and seeking counselling is a brave step toward understanding and resolving these feelings. The image of a swinging pendulum is powerful, symbolizing the natural ebb and flow of our emotions and states of mind. One piece of advice is to understand and accept that you are creating these emotions from a belief you hold. Embrace this movement, understanding that it's part of being human, and focus on grounding practices of finding and changing those beliefs; we call this process the Golden Thread Process. Meditation, mindfulness, and continued engagement with counselling can help stabilise the pendulum over time. Also, remember that self-compassion is critical. Acknowledge your progress and the calmness you've achieved, and give yourself permission to be in the process. If you haven't already, consider joining supportive communities where you can share your experiences and learn from others. Our FREE Wu Wei Wisdom community (facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity/) could be a valuable space for you to connect with like-minded individuals. Always remember that you are not alone in this journey, and it's never too late to find a more profound sense of peace and balance. Kind Regards, David
“Why Your Inner Child is Fearful and Scared” “He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.” Laozi Definitions: Inner Child - the subconscious mind or ego that developed in childhood roughly between the ages of 6-9 years old. The Vow - a faulty declaration that the child internalizes, “There’s something wrong with me.” Emotional Pendulum- emotional swing from negative thoughts such as, “I am not good enough,” to overperformance expectations such as, “I have to be perfect; I have to be better than others.” Event(s) happened in your childhood, generally between the ages of 6-9 that you could not understand or find a resolution for. So, the child indoctrinates “the vow” - the problem(s) are because of them, something is wrong with them. The vow morphs into the three beliefs: 1. I’m not good enough 2. I can’t cope. 3. I’m not lovable/worthy. Wu Wei Wisdom's core belief: You are the creator of your emotions. You are not the victim of your emotions. Your feelings are coming from a belief or perception you have internalized. Red light feelings such as guilt, fear, insecurity, or anxiety are a result of the child’s trauma experiences or challenges they may have experienced in their childhood that were not acknowledged, supported, or resolved. As an adult, these false beliefs are what are defining your perception of life. “The kernel in the nut,” - the most essential part of an idea or experience. Red light emotions are intense and powerful but they are the result of your frozen beliefs from childhood. They don’t just come from out of the blue. The inner child can be lost in certain areas of life such as relationships or careers. The I.C. will use emotions to attract or repel attention. It is imperative not to chastise the I.C. The adult part of you must show up and support the needs of the I.C. Every time the I.C. experiences red-light feelings and the adult self doesn’t show up and support them, the I.C. loses trust in the adult self. This will inflame the I.C. even more. You have to be the parent you didn’t have as a child. Trusting and believing in yourself is paramount to a fulfilled life.
Hi @susan9396, Thank you for sharing such an insightful summary of the concepts around the inner child. You've beautifully articulated the journey from recognising the vows and beliefs formed in childhood to understanding their impact on our adult lives. It's a profound step to acknowledge these aspects and begin the process of supporting and integrating the inner child with compassion and wisdom. Remember, you have the strength and awareness to reshape those beliefs and create a harmonious balance within.
