It is up to me, the adult self to give the child within the love and care he/she never received. When I am feeling hurt, it is often rooted in a past feeling. I need to learn to be my own best friend, and give myself a hug.
I need to wash away those old feelings and replace them with positive ones. I need to cleanse my spirit and often I need to release tears to do that. Sometimes it is just going into a shower or a bath and changing the energy around me. I often say a prayer in the shower asking that I be cleansed of all negativity to make room for positive and good in my life.
