We all have an inner child – the part of us that is still innocent, shy, curious, creative, and open to the world.
It is this part of us that infuses our life with spontaneity, play, joy, and wonder. But it’s also this part of us that carries our deepest sorrows, fears, anger, and hurts.
Most of us go through life totally unaware of this inner part of us. We seem to carry a very two-dimensional idea about who we are, not realizing that we are composed of many different parts.
What is the Inner Child? (& the Benefits of Doing This Work)
The inner child is one of our most ancient parts. In fact, our inner child represents our original self – the identity that originally blossomed into this world.
When we are oblivious to our inner child, we’re also totally unconscious of their needs, desires, and wounds. It is then that we play out self-sabotaging patterns and repeat unconscious habits, not knowing that they are all rooted in the inner child.
By becoming aware of your inner child and what they are trying to tell you, you will develop more self-respect, self-love, and inner groundedness.
You’ll become more capable of listening to your authentic needs, develop the ability to undo old harmful patterns, and find the clarity to pursue your true life purpose.
On a spiritual level, reconnecting with your inner child helps you to heal the heart chakra and feel more physically, emotionally, and mentally safe in this world. As such, learning to embrace your inner child is a powerful form of down-to-earth spiritual practice that can immensely deepen and enrich your spiritual journey by helping you to awaken your heart.
How to Connect With Your Inner Child
The best way to reconnect with your inner child is through a practice known as inner child work.
In inner child work, we actively seek to reconnect with this innocent and oftentimes wounded part of us through a variety of self-nurturing practices.
You can think of this test as an introduction or even initiation into inner child work. It will give you a place to start and something to focus your attention on.
As always, don’t take our word as the final authority. If you feel that your inner child is trying to tell you something that’s even more important than what this test reveals, by all means, listen to that inner voice instead and go exploring!
Also, please don’t be afraid of reaching out for professional help. You can also take a look at our Inner Child Journal if you need a structured, supportive, and compassionate way to begin this crucial work.

Hi! My inner child needs more magic! Couldn’t be more true. I have been feeling dull and bored for a long time and know I need to do something different. This test is yet another synchronized message. Now is the time to shine! 🌟 🙏
Beautiful 😍 ⭐
Hi I got my inner child needs to feel safe. this has been an ongoing theme in my life. Having some trouble creating that safety.
Thank you for sharing Milet 😊
My inner child says to unprocessed trauma. To face my heartbreak, feel it, and let it go. She is so right but where to start? The trauma/heartbreak might be gone for a while but keeps coming back which lead to depression. A vicious circle that cannot be broken.
The best place to start is through a practice of self-love and re-parenting. You may also need help from a trained therapist if your trauma is too deep. If that isn’t accessible or you want an immediate place to start, our inner child journal can help https://shop.lonerwolf.com/product/inner-child-journal/ 💙
My inner child tells me that I need more magic in my life. I guess he is right and need to check my daily routine and what is it that I can do to better it. It’s a good test and I’m glad it made me realise something that I’ve been missing so much.
Now we move✌️
Awesome, I’m so pleased to hear this Lebohang! Bring on the magic 😄
Thanks for this test 😊 I got slowing down. I don’t live a fast paced live, but I do feel I need to achieve, get things done. I feel a failure when I don’t have all my ducks in a row, so yes I got the message. I feel I needed to have achieved more career wise, so keep thinking about how I can get to that point. But I will listen to my inner child and slow down, let it rest ❤
Wonderful – I’m sure your inner child will be so thankful. Listening to your little one is a good way of building trust with her 💗
I was reminded that i need to grieve.
Ah…..not a surprise. I need to slow down.
My inner child says I need space to grieve. It’s not wrong. My sister literally just wrote to me that I need space.
I do need space, but bills need to be paid so space isn’t an option.
There is always a little time in between busy things that you can work on it a little at a time. It does not necessarily have to be all at once. That was a lesson I learned the hard way, and in some ways I still am learning it. I believe you.
Dragyn has a good point here 😀
