That younger you? They’re still in there.
You know that part of you that tightens up at the smallest criticism? Or freezes in the face of love? That’s not just random adult stress it’s often the voice of your younger self, quietly echoing from a moment long past. The “inner child” isn’t just therapy jargon it’s the emotional residue of childhood: the wonder, the fear, the unmet needs, the quiet hopes.
And it doesn’t disappear just because you’ve grown taller.
The body remembers—louder than the mind admits
Trauma, even the kind that doesn’t feel like capital-T trauma, leaves fingerprints all over our nervous systems. You might not remember the day your feelings were dismissed, or when you decided it wasn’t safe to speak up—but your body does. The inner child hides in your chest when your boss raises their voice, or in your stomach when you’re vulnerable with someone you love.
Here’s where Reiki—especially Reiki in Glasgow, where the pace of life often outweighs the pulse of presence—can help.
So… how does Reiki help with the inner child?
Reiki isn’t about fixing you. It’s about making space—space in your body, your breath, your awareness for the parts of you that never felt safe enough to be felt. During a session, many people experience waves of unexpected emotion. A quiet tear. A sudden warmth in the belly. Memories that surface like bubbles from a deep pool. These aren’t side effects. They are the healing.
Energy work helps soften the inner armour we’ve built. It offers a kind of attuned presence most of us missed growing up: warm, unhurried, nonjudgmental. It says: It’s okay now. You’re safe here. And sometimes, that’s all the inner child ever wanted.
Real talk: this work is tender and brave.
Connecting with your inner child isn’t about wallowing in the past. It’s about reclaiming the aliveness that got tucked away with it. And yeah, it’s vulnerable. But there’s also a kind of magic in watching someone soften, just a little, into who they’ve always been underneath the self-protection.
If you’re in Glasgow and you’re ready to meet yourself—really meet yourself—Reiki might be your invitation. Not to change who you are, but to finally sit beside all the parts you’ve left behind.
They’ve been waiting.
