GROUP WORKBOOKS - INTRODUCTION

Turn to Page 1 - Introduction….

During your 8 weeks of Healing Your Inner Child

Group participation you will:

Give your mind the assignment of paying attention

to what your needy inner child says, thinks and

how it behaves.

You will learn to observe it with detachment and

compassion, realising that you can transform and

heal it with the help of your Higher Self.

INTRODUCTION

You will learn to journal each day as you listen to your needy inner child.

You will have a weekly focus card and guided meditation CD to help you bring your inner child issues to your Higher Self for transformation.

Using this combination with commitment and consistency leads to deep inner healing.

You will find out that, with the support of the group, you can free yourself from the limitations of your needy inner child’s beliefs and fears.

INTRODUCTION

There are many helpful activities focused on healing your needy inner child.

The result of participating in these activities in a nurturing group is like the transformation which occurs when a caterpillar becomes a beautiful, liberated butterfly.

You will recognise together that you can fly, that you can release your limiting beliefs and fears and apply unconditional Love to everything you experience

INTRODUCTION

This workbook can be a journal of your inner child healing.

Space is provided to write notes about your experiences, meditations, and discussion questions.

Later you may want to look back over what you wrote.

It will serve as an encouraging confirmation of your progress.

You will see how much insight you have gained and how far you have come.

INTRODUCTION

The courses, group exercises and materials

offered by the Spiritual College provide many

pathways to spiritual awakening in an

atmosphere of acceptance and caring.

They help you reactivate your conscious

recognition of your Divinity, the God Within.

GUIDELINES FOR

GROUP PARTICIPATION

The purpose of the Healing Inner Child Group is

to provide a loving, supportive, non-judgmental

group environment to nurture and heal your

inner child.

The Healing Inner Child Group is simply a

vehicle for Spiritual Growth.

You are the driver,

responsible for your own growth

GUIDELINES FOR GROUP PARTICIPATION

We are each other’s teachers:

We are here to learn from each other.

If anything doesn’t fit or feel right to you:

Put it on a mental shelf, you may want to come

back to it later.

You don’t have to accept anything.


Agreeing to the following guidelines will help all

group members gain the most from their

experience:

1. We listen with an open heart and open mind.

2. Out of mutual respect for each participant, we

accept each person’s opinion or expression as

valid for that person at that moment.


3. We remember that we each have free will. Each

of us is free to choose what ideas we accept

as true for us.

4. Out of respect and value for each person’s

time, we arrive before the scheduled meeting

time so the group can start promptly.


5. While acknowledging each person’s right to

express themselves, we are also aware of

keeping our own sharing to a reasonable

portion of the available time.


6. We agree not to use the group as a place to

dwell upon our troubles.

Rather we use this group as a place to look at

perceived problems,

Explore the thoughts behind them,

And open to new perspectives from Inner

Guidance.


7. We hold what is expressed in the group

confidential so that everyone can be

comfortable sharing their feelings.

8. We are committed to attending sessions

regularly to maintain continuity of our

awakening process.


9. We use our time together for sincere focus on

spiritual awakening. We reserve social

conversation for after the session or other

agreed upon times
