Dear Prash:
This purity you mentioned (“feel my inner child in all his purity”)- it is this purity in you that moved me this early morning as I read your message, made me feel close to you, as far as we are in the world.
You are very welcome. You asked me earlier: “How has being in touch with the scared child help you?”- it is decreasing my anxiety. You expressed that you suffer from anxiety. If you access your inner child, your anxiety too will lessen. In our lives at times our anxiety is less because we are busier (you mentioned recently needing more than the hours in a day), or because of this or that circumstance, but when we are less busy, circumstances change, the anxiety increases.
The only way I know to reliably lessen the anxiety regardless of most circumstances, if not all, is through accessing the scared inner child. The resistance you mentioned doing so is probably the natural unwillingness to be more aware of pain. All organisms withdraw from pain. And so, the access needs to be done in small portions, with breaks in between, little by little, over time.
