RRP UK £17.99 : US $22.99 : Can $29.99 

What is the Inner Child? As children, there are times when we are upset, confused or afraid, and feelings of vulnerability, trauma and unmet needs are buried, but they still affect our adult emotions, beliefs, and thoughts. When we access these childhood memories, we can provide validation to the child we once were, resolving hardships with compassion, healing psychological wounds with understanding, supporting the crying child, and where there are negative patterns affecting adult life, inserting boundaries and more aware decisions making. 

"Your inner child holds the key to your wholeness as an adult.”

This is a brief précis of a card chosen for PN readers. The Guidebook text is more extensive. No 9 The Quest has been chosen for PN readers. From the Invitation section, we read how courage and determination are required for your Quest - for love, justice, and progress. - and to create your life purpose, and your sacred calling. Have you considered an ecological or community based service? The Quest is a task where you will learn to develop as a person of worth and substance. The Inner Child section asks about your childhood. What life as a child did you lead, and how did you develop your values and your resilience? Say to your inner child, “I honour your strength and I am proud of you.” The Journey section asks you to imagine that you are lying on your death-bed. What have been your greatest successes? What 3 regrets do you have and how you could have acted differently? Give yourself some positive affirmations for the future. See yourself accomplishing everything you would like to do in your life. 

Each card meaning is divided into 3 sections: Invitation, Inner Child and Journey. The text is excellent and shows the experience of the author in working with this subject. Healing is divided into 3 levels: Firstly, The Spoken Word, which suggests we speak out loud the words of the text, to ground the positive vibrations of the words, secondly, The Written Word, where a special notebook can be used to record your experiences of working with the cards, such as writing an intention each time you choose a card, and thirdly, Visualisation, where our imagination is used to enter the painted image. Each card provides a guided meditation to help you to revisit childhood memories and replay them with new healthy outcomes. There is ample advice for the reader to use the deck for the self or to read for another person. 

This nurturing Oracle deck helps you connect with your childhood self in order to acknowledge hurts, forgive, release resentments, accept and acknowledge the past, clear blocks and be at ease with the past, and build resilience and strength. It is full of excellent advice and methods that help your inner child to be seen, heard, and acknowledged. The journey begins with a dedication to your inner child, thanking it for waiting patiently for the adult self to recognise it and attend to its needs. You reclaim the happy, playful child and offer it comfort, so that it trusts life and people, and can enjoy beauty and innocence again. You give thanks also for life itself, for the resilience of your ancestors, and those who have lived before you. It’s all in the guidebook, which also provides a prayer to the Divine Mother by Andrew Harvey. There is an explanation on how the cards connect with your inner child, and the various ways to use the cards. The deck is not intended to judge anyone. It is designed to provide non judgmental guidance for deep soothing and restoration of love for the child that exists within you. You and your younger self will learn to move forward in greater clarity and tranquility. 

The titles reflect the topics for recovery, such as: Safety, Father, Mother, Abandonment, Belonging, Protection, Surrender.

I will use it for myself, taking each card a day in sequence on a 44 day healing journey for my inner child. Excellent cardboard card stock. A powerful and useful oracle and excellent value. You definitely get your money's worth!
