Book Review: Thich Nhat Hanh and the Inner Child

Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the leading Buddhist teachers in the world today. He is a Vietnamese monk, poet, scholar, human rights activist and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. His new book, "Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child" leads us in a very interesting direction for a Buddhist monk. Thich Nhat Hanh's new book: Healing the Inner ChildHe believes that the cry we hear from deep in our hearts comes from the wounded child within. Healing this inner child's pain, he offers, is the key to transforming anger, sadness and fear. He goes on to write that every time we're in touch with the experience of suffering, we believe that we can't bear it, and stuff our feelings and memories into our unconscious. We may think that this will work but it won't because the inner child will always be there until we offer it love and healing. These insights are exactly what I have come to learn in teaching Pre-Cognitive Re-Education (Pre-Cog) for the last 25 y
ears.Ways to heal the inner childWhile Thich Nhat Hahn offers mindfulness as a primary healing function, I have discovered that guided visualization can bring the energy of unconditional love to the wounds of the past. There are no little children running around inside of us. There are pockets of memory and emotion that have the perspective of a child because they were created during our childhood. These pockets can be healed, their emotions released and the loving adult that we really are can be strengthen and liberated. This is the real work of spiritual maturity. This is the work that brings us to stable consciousness, to the ability to stay in love, and to an on-going experience of joy. I invite you to experience the Pre-Cog process for yourself and feel the joy of healing the hurt child emotions stuck in your subconscious. Follow the guided visualizations at essentialpathways.com, they're free. You might begin with the Guided Imagery Scripts on Love. Your inner child is
waiting.Thich Nhat Hanh directs us to the necessity of healing the inner child within. Pre-Cognitive Re-Education offers both phone sessions and free online guided imagery scripts and guided visualizations that bring love and healing to the hurts of the past. They help us heal the limited beliefs that limit our experience of freedom in life. Your inner child is waiting.
