Deepening the Healing: Bringing in Your Inner Child & Rainbow One

This experience builds upon the foundational process we explored in the last chapter—the Week 6 [Experience] 4-Step Feeling for Healing™ Guide.

That practice taught you how to move through emotion by feeling, embracing, expressing, and loving what’s alive in your body and heart. It helped you reconnect to your inner world and discover how healing naturally unfolds when we allow love to meet our pain.

Now, we’re taking that same foundational process and deepening it.

This version adds a powerful and tender element: connecting with your Inner Child—the part of you who first experienced these emotions, often without the support or understanding they needed. These younger parts of us are still holding onto core beliefs and coping strategies that may have once protected us but are now keeping us stuck.

In this process, we not only allow ourselves to feel what’s here—we begin to access the unconscious roots of our pain, lovingly explore the beliefs we took on during those formative moments, and offer ourselves the healing, support, and unconditional love we needed then—but can give ourselves now.

We also continue to grow into loving ourselves not only from our Huge Heart—that deep, strong part of us capable of endless compassion—but also from our Rainbow One.

The Rainbow One is the spirit of pure love, joy, innocence, and presence. Often, this is the energy we feel most vividly through our beloved pets—like Ellie was for me. While future chapters will guide you into more intentional connection with your Rainbow One, this process invites you to simply begin allowing their loving presence to be with you now.

Whether you see them beside you, feel their energy in your heart, or simply imagine how they would love and comfort you—their essence is real and ready to support you in healing.

This guided experience will help you:

Feel what’s truly present
Identify unconscious beliefs that are still shaping your self-worth
Recognize the coping strategies you developed to survive
And lovingly rewire those patterns with compassion, safety, and care

Remember: there’s no “right way” to do this. Just show up. Let it be messy, imperfect, real. Let your love be bigger than your fear.

You are not doing this alone.

Your Huge Heart is here.

Your Rainbow One is here.

And your Inner Child is ready to be held—at last.

Let’s begin.

Experience 7 • Inner Child Feeling for Healing™

Use my words below as guide posts, and go more for the heart of the exercise, rather than following the details.

<aside> ❤️

Estimated Time Required:

20 – 30 minutes +

You Will Need:

Your Self-Healing Book. Writing down your answers to all questions below will support you in gaining greater awareness and experience.
If you’ve set up your Self-Healing Sanctuary from Week 1 [Experience] Book & Space great. If not just do this wherever you can relax and disconnect from the world. </aside>

Set a Clear Healing Intention
- Write a positive intention for your healing at the top of your page. Be sure to include the phrase “for the Highest Good.” Something like “I am releasing and healing as much grief, pain and the past that I can for the highest good.”
Somatic Breathing to Ground in the Body Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely. Hold for a moment, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this a few times. With each exhale, release any tension, and with each inhale, invite in softness. Allow your body to settle into the present moment. Turn your awareness inward.
[Step 1] Feel Your Feelings How are you feeling? In order to access unresolved emotion you can let yourself be aware of what’s most challenging to you right now. Is it missing your Rainbow One? Or something else that’s most challenging to you in THIS moment? Close your eyes and loosely allow yourself to be connected to what’s most challenging to you right now, while observing what goes on in your physical body. Allow yourself to FEEL your feelings, deeply, completely, right now.
1. What am I feeling? [write it down]
2. Where do I feel it most in my body? [write it down]
3. If this feeling had a color, texture, or movement, what would it be? [write it down]
[Step 2] Embrace Your Feelings The next step is to fully accept, embrace and really welcome your feelings to be with you. Relax and release any resistance to completely embracing your feelings. Say out loud or in writing to your feelings:

“I have so much time, space and love for you right now. I see you, I hear you, I welcome you.”

If resistance arises—and it often does—acknowledge it, too. Resistance is just a protective mechanism. It deserves to be seen and accepted as well:

I see you. I appreciate you for trying to keep me safe. But I no longer need you to block this feeling. I am strong enough to feel it now.

I have NOT always been safe to feel my emotions fully, but in this moment, I AM completely safe.
[Step 3] Express Your Feelings and Your Inner Child
1. First create a Feeling Form for what you’re feeling. Let’s say in Step 1, you felt sadness in your heart. It was dark blue, swirling like a dense fog. In this step, you might write down Sad Blue Foggy Heart as the feeling form you’re aware of. Now give a voice to your feeling form. Let is speak freely. Let it be dramatic. Let it say and express whatever it wants without being censored or judged in anyway. [write it down]
2. Don’t think too hard about this, but just allow an answer to pop into your consciousness. When was one of the earliest moments you ever felt like this?! Now give a voice to your inner child in that moment, that is now this moment. Let them say and express whatever they want. [give your inner child the pen and allow them to write it down]
3. Now ask your inner child: What did you start to believe about yourself in this moment? [allow your inner child to answer it in writing]
4. And then ask: What did you start to do from this moment forward, to cope and to deal with your big feelings and needs? [allow your inner child to answer it in writing]
[Step 4] Love Your Inner Child Completely with Your Rainbow One

We now get the incredible privilege of giving our Inner Child the deepest love and support it needs now, and needed then.

You can say or write this down:

I hear you. I see you. And I love you.

Continue sharing (saying or writing down) any loving, compassionate words that your huge heart wants to express to your inner child. Allow your Rainbow one to share with your inner child too.

Next ask your inner child (by saying or writing down):

What do you need?

Again allow yourself to drop into your inner child and let them answer. It might feel like you’re making up an answer–that’s how this works initially. Just do your best to write down an answer from the pure innocent experience of your inner child.

Now allow your Huge Heart and your Rainbow One to answer. Give your inner child a deep embodied experience of what they need.
Thank and Reward Yourself Thank yourself for having the courage to dive in so deeply. Genuinely say ‘thank you’ to yourself for completing this experience, and ask yourself what reward would feel self-honoring and empowering?! And now go treat yourself with what feels supportive and celebratory.

When we bring love to the places that hurt, we begin to heal.

And when we find those old, deep, buried memories of pain—and love those too—something even greater happens: We transform.
