| Friend!
As I have been making plans with the family for the holidays, I’ve been thinking about you.
Holidays are wonderful times of celebration, but there is another side to them where we find our deepest emotional wounds opened.
Here’s how holidays used to be for me.
Getting ready for a family gathering gave me the strangest confluence of feelings. I really wanted to see my family. And I really dreaded everything I knew I’d have to face if I went home.
Family gatherings exhausted me and took me days to recover.
|
|
We look for family to be a source of joy and comfort, but too often, that isn’t the case.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We end up coming home feeling disappointed or even angry because we’ve been changing, and they haven’t. Or they have been changing, but we don’t like the direction they are going.
We keep hoping that maybe this year things will be different. Unfortunately, they are often more the same than changed.
You’ve been doing your spiritual work. You know you can’t change other people. But it’s hard when you are doing so much inner work and you see the same family patterns emerging over and over.
|
|
How do you find peace with your family when they keep pushing your buttons?
|
|
|
|
It took me a while to be able to attend family gatherings without feeling like my buttons were getting pushed every other minute.
Here’s what I finally discovered. Let’s see if this resonates for you.
I kept expecting that at some point my family would get me!
I hoped with all my heart they would see the wonderful woman I had grown up to be.
Finally, it dawned on me. They couldn’t see who I had become, because they were looking at me through the lenses of the wounded children inside of them.
|
|
And truth be told, I was looking at them through the same lens.
|
|
They hadn’t fully seen me, nurtured me, respected me and supported me as a child, and they still didn’t know how to do it.
Quite frankly, neither did I! I didn’t know how to meet my own needs, let alone do it for someone else.
In fact, I didn’t even know how to identify some of the needs that seemed to be stirring around inside of me.
|
|
Spiritual practice helped me understand that until I could meet my emotional needs for myself, I would continue to look to my family and partner to do it for me.
|
|
Why?
Because the unmet needs of the child inside me was still looking to be happy with her life.
|
|
My family couldn’t see me as a mature and happy adult, because the unhappy child inside of me was looking for them to make me feel good.
|
|
|
|
In mystical practices, we don’t try to meet the needs of the unhappy child in the physical world, because the child isn’t living in the physical world any more. The child lives inside of you!
For example, you might purchase a lot of new clothes trying to meet the needs of the child who only had hand-me-downs, and never fulfill the emotional wound that left. In this scenario, it never was about the clothes.
It was about feeling left out, unworthy, ashamed, embarrassed and other emotions that have become the drivers of your life — childhood unmet emotional needs trying to get met as an adult.
In mystical practices, we go in to the realm of the inner child and give our child spirit exactly what she or he needed in order to feel complete because that is where the need will actually get met.
|
|
Once your greatest needs are met, you don’t have buttons.
|

I was delighted the day my elder, Gigi Shulz, gave me a system for healing the inner child. She gave it to me just weeks before she died.
It was years before I understood this precious gift she had channeled from St. Germaine was one of the most life-changing mystical tools I had ever been given. |

In this audio course from Misa, you are guided into the sacred realm of your inner child.
Your inner child is directly connected to the Divine, and when your child self is whole and happy, he/she is the one who leads the way to sacred awareness.
He or she bravely enters into the unknown with complete trust in the Divine. And it is the inner child who knows the way to the joyful fulfillment of your sacred contract.
