Affirmations for the Inner Child

If we were raised with consistent, nurturing parents, we conclude that life is meaningful and that people are to be trusted. If we were raised with parents who were addictively or compulsively ill, we determine that life is threatening and chaotic--that we are not deserving of joy. These are the crucial decisions that impact our lives long after we have forgotten them.

Unfortunately, childhood judgments don't disappear. They remain as dynamic forces that contaminate our adulthood. When childhood needs are not taken care of because of abuse or abandonment, we spend our lives viewing the world through the distorted perception of a needy infant or an angry adolescent. The more we push these child parts away, the more control they have over us.

This collection of daily meditations is dedicated to those adults who are ready to heal their childhood wounds. It is through this courageous effort that we will move from a life of pain into recovery.

Filled with HOPE!!!, 2005-08-05
I believe this little daily meditation book was designed to be read by the calendar date indicated on each page. If you are looking for some sense of direction this book is an absolute MUST. Even if you read it by just letting the book open to any page, you will find that there's something going on in your life TODAY that the daily reading will address. These are ideas on which to focus as you go through your day with simple ways to shift your perception of the events in your life. This is a way to sense and enjoy freedom each and every day. Remember that though you may have forgotten times in your life, the child that lives within you has memory of everything and you now have the opportunity to re-train your child into a serene, responsible, joy-filled adult. Take 5 minutes to give you a wonderful gift first thing every morning when you awaken.

Affirmation For the Inner Child, 2003-09-08
I read this book in 1991 and many times since.It is a precious book that I hate to lend to anyone else for fear I might not get it back but really really want other people to get to know it.These Afirmations are done with a calendar date on each page and that is how I used them the first time through now I use the index in the back of the book to choose the topic I need a particular day. The little stories let me feel safe and right and ok with where I am.They teach me different ways of looking at myself so I can put down the baseball bat that I use to beat myself with. They help me make sense of my thinking which without this book seemed to be the thoughts of a crazy woman. Long after the hoopla of the Inner Child revolution stuff has past this book stands out as one of if not the most meaningful book I have read. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Rokelle Lerner.
