Full Moon in Capricorn
Be the Illumination for your Inner Child
I "feel."
Emotions come and go. I sense. I feel others, I'm aware, I attend to, I take care of and nurture them.
I initiate and act from how I feel, how things feel to me.
Here's a comforting nest that I return to, away and private. A home, my living space, my natural self is at ease here. Inside, I create what is pleasant to me. My home environment reflects me in these surroundings.
My "roots" are a long stretch of ancestors, my family.
My "roots" are beneath, under, not seen.
My "roots" are from which I collect nourishment.
My "roots" are like tentacles, feeling, intuiting and sensing.
From roots, I claim and create a solid foundation, a secure sense of self that is capable of being out in the world, an essence that is only mine, that can be tapped into at will. My own "aqua-lung" supports me, keeps me safe as I venture out into the world.
My "rooted-ness" is my personal self, my private self. From this self I learn to nourish, to provide for, to listen and love myself like my own child. This child has needs, this young me still needs attention no matter how old I am now. I provide a safe space, give patience towards it, listen, let, accept and give a loving hug to this aspect of myself like a wise mature and experienced parent. Fears consoled. Encouragement given. Either I learn this from my parents, or I offer this from a place that I vow never to repeat from how I was raised, and care for that child in a new way. I know that child personally better than anyone.
Self-love can be a present act or one that connects with your past or how your past lives presently within you as your Inner Child. Is it happy, hurt, damaged, wounded, excited, confused, restless, sad, angry? Why? And like a child, it wants to be noticed. How do you respond?
Like a night light turned on by a parent for a child. Be that for yourself.
Take good care.
