Reflection:
The Child reminds us that we were all children, once upon a time.
Perhaps your inner child is asking you to let something go, to release something from your past (an idea, belief or wound) which no longer serves and which you have outgrown. Additionally, if you currently feel “stuck” or “blocked” maybe the Child is letting you know that it’s okay to reach out and ask for help.
Notice how the Child is facing away from you, oriented toward the future. The simple fact of the matter is that you cannot move forward if you are continually focused or rooted in the past. To put it another way, something new cannot come to “birth” if you remain stuck in old, outdated ways of thinking, feeling, believing or responding.
Children have a remarkable ability to remain “open” and tuned into the present moment. Perhaps the Child comes to mark a new beginning or phase of your life, or signals the opportunity for a fresh start. Or perhaps the Child comes to remind you that living an abundant life involves more than money, career and responsibility.
Whatever the case may be, we all need a “time out” from time to time to unwind, relax, unplug or daydream so give yourself permission to “play.”

Some questions to guide your meditation:
- What habit, attachment or belief have you outgrown?
- What holds you back from embarking on a new opportunity or adventure?
- What can you do to gain a fresh/new perspective on something?
- How might your inexperience be holding you back?
- Where have you been reluctant to ask for help?
