The first inner journey accompanying the book Allies & Demons: Working With Spirit For Power And Healing, by Renee LaVallee McKenna.

In this inner journey we travel to a safe and sacred place in nature to establish a spiritual ground to return to again and again.

Renee LaVallee McKenna, therapist and Shamanic healer, leads this gentle but powerful guided session to heal the inner child. In bringing loving kindness to our lost or wounded inner child parts, we grow in the ability to parent ourselves with presence and compassion. When our internal landscape is grounded in self-care, we create for ourselves the environment of emotional and mental nourishment we have always craved. 

The process we will use to heal the child within is a modified Shamanic soul retrieval. This inner journey may be done repeatedly to heal our unresolved emotional issues and grow in emotional vulnerability and maturity. When working with our inner child, it’s as if this child is an actual individual with unique experiences that we might not have access to with ordinary awareness. In fact, we may have consciously or unconsciously blocked childhood experiences in an attempt to avoid or manage pain and trauma we couldn’t process or handle at the time. 

When we lose authentic parts of ourselves in this way, a void is created in the psyche. This void is often a place where inner self-criticism and destructive, defensive patterns can come in to fill the gap. Alternately, we may create a social mask we wear with others in an attempt to manipulate or control how others perceive us. Though these tactics may be a way to keep our authentic suffering at bay, the pain created by our defenses may be exponentially greater than the original conflict we hoped to avoid. 

Inner child work teaches us how to become a responsible self-parent. In this session, we aim the attention of our best adult self devotedly toward those childhood parts of ourselves that didn’t get their needs met. We can then bring compassion and unconditional love to parts of ourselves that were misunderstood, ignored or abused. Now, in the present moment, we can care for our emotional self in empowering and deeply healing ways that gently but radically change our inner emotional landscape and improve our experience of the larger world.

Therapist and Shamanic healer Renee LaVallee McKenna offers a brief introduction and instructions for the first Shamanic journey to the lower world.

Birth experience is incredibly powerful and often sets an emotional and behavioral template for our life. This powerful meditation bring us through the birth experience and into present time, to connect with our own highest self and the love and compassion of the larger consciousness system. Repatterning our birth experience is transformative, empowering and profoundly healing on all levels.

Mindfully preparing our coffee can be a deep and nourishing experience. Take a few moments to become fully present for the sensory experience of drinking our morning cup and contemplate the wonder of ordinary life and our interconnection with all things. Tea drinkers welcome.
