The Children & The Vortex

A wonderful happening on vortex experiences is when a client’s inner-child materializes on the trail. Today was very unusual in that the client’s mother’s inner-child appeared. I’ve only seen this a few times but its importance is enormous.

As we walked into the vortex, I felt that the energy was blocking me from moving forward. I walked to the right and the energy stopped me again! So I went the opposite way and again the energy blocked me. I stopped and waited for Spirit to tell what this was about. I remember suddenly how this wonderful client related to me that she felt blocked no matter what way she turns with her intent to go deeper into her wisdom or live more from her heart. And she also shared with me some anger she still held towards her mother.

It came to me like a shining light that it was her feeling of anger towards her mother that blocked her and just as I realized that I looked up and saw her mother’s inner-child standing 50 feet away! I told her exactly what I was seeing and this brave client trusted in what I was seeing. We took a few steps towards the girl and the energy block was gone! As we approached this little girl, I could see she was very lost and confused—so lost. I guided my client to mirror, validate and emphasize what this precious child was feeling without giving the child advice or trying to tell her--”It’s ok.” What stunned me was how deeply her mother’s inner-child felt like she had done something “wrong”, that she was “bad”. Much like the inner-feelings of my client---the fear of not getting it right! The little girl opened slowly, seeing for the first time her feelings acknowledged. It was beautiful.

I guided them both over to the “Plant that Speaks to Babies” and had them put their hands inside the plant's leaves and try and breathe in rhythm with the Plant who I call “my little sister”. Then an amazing thing happened! I saw the plant fill her mother’s inner-child up with this beautiful white light and suddenly in one moment that child jumped the boundaries of time and turned to my client and said, “I’m ok! I'm OK!” Wow! She saw clearly that she was simply “ok” and that she had done nothing wrong, that she wasn’t bad. My client and I were both blown away. The child was skipping around smiling, giggling. She had re-discovered her child-like spirit! I turned to my client and asked, “How do you feel about your mother now?” She responded quietly, “Compassion.” A Ho, Old Ones, A Ho.

It is my honor to help these brave clients who are open to this work to connect with their inner children again. Sometimes, the child will appear at the end the vortex experience and I will see them standing a in the distance as I did a few weeks ago with a couple I took out. I saw the husband’s little boy looking at us, he was standing amidst some beautiful fir trees. I stopped and waiting for the boy to speak. I turned to the husband and said quietly, “I see your little boy standing over there.” He looked, not really seeing him. “Just try and imagine him standing there, sometimes imagination will leap you into the “dreamweave”. Suddenly, the little boy shouted, “Keep doing more of what you did today...keep finding me!” I just shook my head in awe at these gifts. The husband on that day in the vortex, I felt had really let himself open up and let his heart come out more. His little boy wanted him so much---not to forget.

I remember another day, an inner child showed up and my client felt and saw her clearly but couldn’t let herself connect with her—it was too painful for her. I had never seen this happen. I went quiet waiting for Spirit to guide me. After a few moments, I knew what I had to do. I picked up the inner child and carried her, talking to her, acknowledging her feelings. I would model to my client how to be with her inner child. I showed her how we played and skipped over the rocks together, how I got down on my knees and talked to the little plants with her inner child. And how to just listen without offering solutions—just simply listen. Then when we got to the Healing Tree, my client’s inner-child immediately crawled under the tree and I felt she wanted her grown-up self to come and sit with her. I encouraged my client to let go and try. She sat cross-legged opposite her inner child under the long branches of the Healing Tree--it looked wonderful and warm seeing them across from each other. I heard my Guides say, “Tell them to build something together with the twigs and little rocks.” I watched as they constructed (together) a little circular town! It still stands today—many months later. I guard over it. A Ho.

The children inside us not only want to be loved but it’s how we love them that can make a difference in our adult lives. They simply want to have their feelings acknowledged—if you can do this much with your inner child—it will create amazing results.

So on a day when the wind blow softly and the birds are singing, take your inner child for a walk and discover each other again. A Ho, my brothers and sisters. And to the inner children--Greg the guide is here--I will not let them forget!

A Ho,
Greg
