Testimonials: Inner Child & Teen Healing Meditation
This experience has had a profound impact
“My intention when I downloaded the Inner Child Meditation was to reconnect with my hidden carefree, whimsical, creative, happy inner child.
What I found was a little girl sitting alone and crying. I held her on my lap and we had a long cry, I assured her she was going to make it and will have a happy life when she grows up. I told her there were going to be bad things that were going to happen, these things were not her fault.
This experience has had a profound impact. I feel peace in being able to reconnect, give hope to this lost child and myself. It was evident that this healing session did some deep work because I felt very tired afterwards and had a headache.
I am looking forward to experiencing the Inner Child Meditation again, I want to continue to check-in on this little girl and see how she is doing. Hopefully I will find her carefree, whimsical, creative, happy and ready to play. If not, I will give her whatever she needs: a hug, a cry, hope.
I am very grateful that you created this healing meditation. You aren’t charging enough!”
It was more effective than my therapist by like A LOT.
“Here are my initial reactions to this inner child meditation: It was more effective than my therapist by like A LOT. It was amazing. I need to do this shit again tomorrow. Everybody needs to know about this, like every fucking person in the world, like 5 minutes ago. Your brain is so fucking smart. How did you make this? This was the coolest shit in the world.
Here was my experience during the meditation: I walked down a hallway that looked like the inside of a heart. It was really cool and beautiful. When I went into my old reality, I could see my dad sitting in the living room, almost frozen. Then, I saw my teenage self in her old bedroom; I remembered the smell. I could see the carpet that I had totally forgotten about and could see one of my old posters on the wall. I saw my teenage self in an outfit I haven’t thought about in years. I was struck by how scary cool she was. She was writing poetry and she was super pissed off because she knew no one was coming to save her. She was SO GLAD to see me.
I told my younger self that she was so cool, that she knew what she wanted and it was so cool that she didn’t care what others thought. I told her that her parents couldn’t deal with her because they felt threatened by her: She knew what she wanted, she saw the truth, she saw through the lies, and she was a better, kinder human being than them. She listened. Then, she asked me how it (her life) turned out. I told her, “Better than you expected.” I took her out to get ice cream and to this cool Halloween place in the woods with fall leaves. I asked her if she’d like to come and live with me. She agreed without hesitation.
Here’s my experiences afterwards: I felt disoriented but also, weirdly good. The lasting feeling I had (in the days that followed) was increased confidence in my decision making and gut.
I maintain that you are a fucking genius. Like I really can’t even tell you how helpful that was.”
You gave me a great gift…a space to meet myself
“This was a really good meditation. It created a space for me to access myself. It let me start a conversation with my younger self and gave me signals to communicate with him afterwards. I felt good and energized afterwards.
You gave me great gift today, Dr. Mann. A space to meet myself.”
I’ve struggled with Math since Middle SChool. Prior to the meditation, I studied 10-15 minutes per week. Afterwards, I studied for 5 hours straight!
“I have struggled with math since I was in middle school. I had some bad experiences with a teacher and I’ve felt blocked with math ever since. Now, I’m in college and am still struggling with math. I get overwhelmed, feel stupid and then I just give up. Prior to doing this meditation, I was studying only 10-15 minutes each week for my math class, which, as you can imagine, was not enough. I planned to use the meditation to go back to middle school to heal my bad experiences with math. When I went in, I expected my unconscious to show me a memory from math class. Instead, it showed me a memory of me from that same time period, in my bedroom, trying to clean my room.
I had no idea how to clean and organize because no one had ever taught me how, so in the memory, I saw myself completely overwhelmed and frozen in my room, surrounded by a huge pile of stuff. My adult self went into the memory and talked with my middle school self, giving her comfort and reassuring her that she could figure it out because she had help now. I taught her the basics of how to organize and clean, and I also taught her about the concept of the “Growth Mindset,” which is something I learned in therapy as an adult. We were able to start getting her room cleaned and organized, and by the time I left the memory, she was feeling much more confident. When I came out of the meditation, I just started doing my math homework. I worked for like 5 hours, which is crazy because I’d only been studying 10-15 minutes per week before this! I felt so much better about math and was so proud of myself. I know connecting with my younger self in this meditation really helped me. Thank you!”
