Soul Magic Series: The Magic of Your Inner Child Archetype

Welcome to Soul Magic: A Journey Through Archetypes

Welcome to a new series of blogs - Soul Magic. I am not sure if this is the most apt name but here we goo! 😅

Soul Magic is about the magic within you, aka Your Soul.

The magic that has been there long past this life, that has been here for eons and has been moving through multiple lifetimes.

Maybe you’ve tapped into that magic.

Maybe you’ve connected with your soul.

Or maybe… you just feel a little whisper of it inside you.

But what we need to know is: The soul is not just one thing.

It’s parts of many. A lot of tiny little parts that make your soul what it is.

Some parts are active, lively and fully thriving.

Some parts are just barely surviving.

Some parts need work.

Some parts resist.

Some parts need a lot of healing.

And some parts are dormant, waiting for you to remember them.

All of these parts make up your Soul-You.

That is the magic that lies within you.

And if you’re wondering, “What is this? Is it really true?”… Then think back to a time when you were working through a challenge. Maybe you noticed conflicting angles within yourself.

One part of you was resisting.

One part wanted to be safe and stay where you were.

One part wanted to be daring and take the risk.

One part was extremely worried about the future and the consequences.

One part just felt hurt and not good about anything.

While another part wanted to take care of you…wanted to help you grow and move.

Even if you weren’t able to name these different parts - I’m sure you felt them.

There could be even more like this. And you know what? They’re all different parts of your soul and they’re all there to help you work through whatever you challenge you are facing.

But the fact is - You are meant to work through it. You are there to heal the parts that need to be healed. You are there to integrate the parts that need to be brought together. You are there to let go of the parts that are no longer needed. You are here to become whole.

Our journey in this lifetime is to become as whole as we can at a soul level.

What Is an Archetype and Why Does It Matter?

We can look at the parts of your soul through the lens of archetypes.

Archetypes mean nothing but “the first of itself.” Like the Mother archetype, the Father archetype, the Hero archetype… They are just forms or versions of the first of their kind.

We have all these archetypes within us. Even the gods, the goddesses, the different beings we may believe in - they’re all archetypes. They denote something & they stand for something specific. Even if you don’t believe in gods - look around you. Everything around you is an archetype of itself. It shows you something you’re meant to see.

And that’s what I want to bring with this series - Soul Magic.

These are six archetypes I feel deeply connected to. Through the course of my spiritual journey, they’re the ones I’ve met over and over again.

The ones who’ve helped me grow through leaps, risks, and challenges. And I want to share their transmissions with you. To help you explore these Archetypes within yourself.

Because I believe we all have these archetypes within us - as parts of our soul.

So if you’re ready… Let’s dive into these six beautiful archetypes that I absolutely love, adore, and have walked with for years. There are more archetypes than we can ever count. But these are the six I feel called to share now.

Welcome to the Soul Magic series, where I hope you’ll meet a part of yourself that wants to meet you.

That wants to speak to you.

That wants to connect with you.

That’s rising up now for a reason.

Ready? Let’s begin with the first one - The Inner Child 💖

Meet Your Inner Child

Your portal to joy, wonder, and limitless dreaming

The Inner Child is your source of joy, happiness, grander-than-life dreams, wishes and in a big way, contentment as well.

It is that part of you that dreams.

It is that part of you that loves.

It is that part of you that is just here to enjoy life as it comes.

Even if your childhood has not been the best, It is still there in you.

This part of you that maybe grew up too quickly - It still wants joy. Grand adventures. A life that is big and full and loving and joyful and just… amazing.

Your inner child dreams of dreams you didn’t even know you were allowed to have. It is your source of bigness. That knowing that you’re meant for more.

There are no limits on your dreams. There’s nothing “too much” for you. That’s how a child dreams. And that’s how every person’s inner child dreams as well.

Connecting, working, healing with your inner child is about bringing all of that back into your life.

If your life feels like it has no joy…

If you question what fun even is anymore…

If you don’t dare to dream or even think beyond a certain limit…

If you feel there are ceilings on ceilings on ceilings that keep you small…

It’s because your inner child needs you.

Needs your love and attention.

Because when you let your inner child take just one step toward you, She will help you dream bigger than you ever thought you could.

The Inner Child is one of the core archetypes that lives in each and every one of us - here to help us enjoy this life as it was meant to be.

Not just to survive it.

But to feel joy in it.

To feel wonder in it.

To discover moment-to-moment magic.

And that comes from reconnecting, tapping back into, and letting your inner child lead you.

Let her unlock your magic.

The magic this life has to offer and so much more for you.

Light Aspects of the Inner Child

• Unfiltered joy and wonder

• Limitless imagination

• Emotional presence in the moment

• Unshakable belief in possibility

• Deep capacity to love, trust, and play

Shadow Aspects of the Inner Child

• Fear of responsibility

• Ecaping reality to avoid pain

• Difficulty dreaming or trusting again

• Belief that joy is not safe or allowed

• Feeling small, silenced, or unseen

 Journal Prompts to Reconnect With Your Inner Child

1. What was something you loved doing as a child, even if it made no sense to anyone else?

2. What kind of world did your inner child believe was possible? Is that belief still alive in you?

3. What joy have you unconsciously cut yourself off from and why?

Bring Her to Life: A Simple Practice to Reignite Joy

For the next few days, set aside a few quiet minutes.

Gently let a childhood memory arise - no force, just softness. Let your body and heart remember: What did your inner child love doing?

It could be drawing. Singing. Running in the rain. Daydreaming.

Once you remember it - do it. Even if just for a few minutes.

Doing this simple practice is a way of embodying and bringing that inner child back to life.

It’s a reconnection with that part of you.

And know that even the smallest of things you do goes a long, long way..

To healing that part of you and bringing back joy and life into your life.
