Primal Mirror

How did your parents mirror you in childhood and what is it you had to repress to receive their love? Recognizing when our childhood movie takes over, we can mobilize the adult part inside us and come back to what is natural and healthy.

Looking in the mirror of the past; recognizing the false identifications from childhood

“From childhood we are taught that be a good man. Nobody teaches us to be a true person.”  Osho

 
As children we develop a series of false identities or masks in response to the expectations and projections of those we depend on for survival. Over time these roles become autonomous and start to run our lives. We move between these roles with little or no awareness when we get triggered by external events in our woundedness.

Wounding happens when we are not seen and loved unconditionally as children. The wounded child inside us is a powerful and convincing identification which can keep us stuck in defense mode and, when triggered, we start to act out the same childhood movie from our past.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

In Primal Mirror we learn to bring in awareness so we can recognize when we are triggered and can step out of the unhealthy identifications from childhood. We start to listen and accept ourselves instead of remaining stuck by criticizing ourselves or blaming others. We begin to heal our wounded inner child by giving it the love and reassurance it needs – from our own adult resources.

You can attend this course when you are newly exploring the concept of the inner child or when you are familiar with your inner child, to reconnect again with this immensely resourceful part inside us.

Reclaiming and healing our inner child allows us to regain the spontaneous joy and wonder of life. It is the essential journey of life to become a child again – healed, whole and awake.

“Watching the mind, being aware of the mind — without choosing any side, choicelessly being aware — that is the secret.”  Osho

“Parents, because of their own investment – business, politics, religion, philosophy – are less interested in the potential of the child. They are more interested in how to mold the child so that he fits in their world, becomes respectable in their world, is not an outcast, is not a misfit. All this arises out of good intentions, but the result is not good. It is almost slaughtering the child, destroying, killing him. Most of his potential will always remain only potential. He will never be even aware what treasures he has brought with his life. He will die and those treasures will remain unopened.”  Osho.

Inner Child Work Online

How many of us have really been welcomed and raised in the way we were meant to be?
How hard have you tried to adapt to the wishes and expectations placed upon you as a child and in that process losing yourself without feeling love or even no longer feeling a purpose in your life anymore?
Our Inner Child is closely connected to all that is real about us and because of this it makes us feel immensely sensitive and vulnerable when we reconnect again with this part inside us.
This course is a healing process to uncover the layers of hurt that prevents us to be in close connection to our inner child.

Finding your way home again and having a sense of belonging

“This small child will grow up with a personality which others have given to him. And because of this personality, sooner or later a dreadful anxiety and anguish will be born in him – because he is phony. Anguish is born out of phoniness.
Bliss can only be born from truth, from that which is your true nature.”
Osho

 
Our true nature consists of an individual unique set of essential qualities. Qualities like innocence, purity, wonder, trust, playfulness, joy, aliveness, courage, and more.

It is essential for us as adults to reconnect again with our inner child to heal the vacuum, emptiness, sadness, anger, and frustration we experience when we lose the connection with ourselves and life itself.

“In my vision, in a real human society, nothing will be imposed on the child – nothing at all. Not that the child will be left all alone to himself. No, he will be helped, but nothing will be imposed. He will be helped to remain whole; he will be helped to remain rooted in the essence. He will not be forced to shift his consciousness from the essence to the personality. The future education will not be an education in personality, it will be an education in essence.” Osho

 
In a safe and loving atmosphere, we will invite our inner child to make itself visible again in its true nature and in doing so reconnecting again to our aliveness and spontaneity.

Meditative awareness will support us to distinguish between what is learned behavior and what comes out of our own experienced understanding.

“A real education will make the child more meditative, so he never loses contact with his inner being. There is every possibility to lose because he will be moving with others, he will start imitating others. He will have to learn many things from others. Let him learn, but let him become aware that he is not to become an imitator.

“But that is just what is being done, and has been done down the ages. We teach children to become imitators: “Be like Jesus. Be like Socrates. Be like Buddha.” The child can only be truly himself and nobody else – ever. And whatsoever he will try to become will be false and phony.” Osho

“If you teach a child meditation you are not indoctrinating him. You don’t say he has to believe anything, you simply invite him to an experiment in no-thought. No-thought is not a doctrine, it is an experience. And children are very, very capable because they are very close to the source. They have just come from God! They still remember something of that mystery. They have just come from the other world, they have not yet forgotten it completely. Sooner or later they will forget, but still the fragrance is around them. That’s why all children look so beautiful, so graceful. Have you ever seen an ugly child?”  Osho
