I believe we each have that divine child within us who holds the spark of our passion - the key to our creativity... that wonderful, magical essence tucked within us who can chart the course to our mastery and fill our hearts with pure joy. It is this I believe we all seek.

Listen. Be quiet for a moment. Take pause. For he or she is calling to you... "Won't you come out and play."

Can you hear the sound of the call? Can you reach beyond the distractions of your compulsions and addictions... curtail the search outside of yourself and come home?

Listen to the call. Your inner child's voice crosses all dimensions of time and space - connects you to your ancestors... to your Elders... to your most authentic self. Can you get quiet enough to hear the invitation to come and play? Your inner children invite you to see the world through their eyes.

Go now - go to that magical place within your mind's eye. See your inner child - frolicking on the play ground without a care... running aimlessly from the merry-go-round to the swings - then flying down the slide. Remember. Remember when you were that carefree? Breathe deep into that moment and remember. Unleash your spirit and run free. Join your child self and have a moment of play.

What prohibits us from seizing moments such as this as we busy ourselves with worries, goals and intentions which fill our heads and keep us from living consciously in the present? Who inside us is afraid to trust, to run free, to feel joy? Where, along the way, did we abandon our willingness to risk? When did we exchange playing for playing it safe?

If you are human you have experienced pain. If you are human you have responded to that pain. In response to that pain you have constructed your own protective womb - that private place which keeps you safe yet blocks the flow of the divine. As long as you are in your womb and you do not come out to play you will not claim your joy, achieve your goals or successfully do what you came here to do.

Don't fret with those words. You are entitled to hold onto those treasured, safety measures. But you also have the courage and ability to respond to them. Your fears only deter you in those times when you believe you have nothing inside of you to fight back. But it is in that exact moment of your despair that your inner child stands before you with the invitation to come out and play - to remember - to come back to yourself... to throw caution to the wind and make a fool out of yourself. He or she stands there eager to guide to a new place within yourself - encourages you to make a choice to stand in health, in abundance and in the glory of the divine.

We spend much of our life looking outside of ourselves for safety, love and trust. Yet, the richest experience of that state rests in our own heart... our own force field... in our connection to our child-like freedom to feel joy.

Go now - go to that magical place within your mind's eye. Join your inner child - frolic on the play ground without a care... run aimlessly from the merry-go-round to the swings - fly down the slide. Remember. Remember when you were that carefree? Breathe deep into that moment and remember. Unleash your spirit and run free. Join your child self and have a moment of play.
