What is inner child meditation?
Inner child meditation is a guided meditation in which you picture a younger version of yourself. You notice what that younger self needed to hear, and you practice offering those words with kindness. Inner child work is one way people practice self-compassion.
What happens in this class?
The class begins with somatic guided breathing to help your body settle and bring your attention into the room. Victoria then leads a guided inner child meditation. The class closes with guided breathing and a few minutes of rest before you return to your day.
