Inner Child Essences

The Inner Child Essences are designed to help you connect with and heal your Inner Child, transforming the past to create a new future. Transforming the inner child helps you develop a more positive personality, balanced emotions and greater spiritual connection, as well as creating powerful soul growth.  

These 36 beautiful Flower & Gem Essence combinations were created by Shimara Kumara at Heartsong to facilitate the healing of your Inner Child and to help you return to the radiance of your pure, true self.  

Key Points: Healing the Inner Child | Clear focus on positive inner child qualities | Transformation of unconscious belief patterns and emotional blocks.

Essence Type: Flower, Gem & Crystal Combination Essences | Stock Level Size: 15ml

How to Use: A normal adult dosage would be 4 drops on the tongue directly from the bottle between two and four times a day. We'd usually suggest that to gain maximum benefit from your combination you take it directly from stock without further dilution ‐ this gives you the deepest acting effect from the essence. We'd normally recommend that you finish the whole bottle before seeing whether more of that particular essence or another is needed. Preferably take at least 10 minutes away from food and drink.

We wouldn't usually recommend giving the Inner Child Essences to children under 12.

Family Essence: Helps to Clear and Release Inherited Family Patterns

This essence helps to release the ‘negative’ patterning of ones ancestors and transform it. This helps to change our consciousness and further heal the Inner Child.  

The saying “blood is thicker than water” often seems to be a misnomer as many of us say we can “choose friends but not relations”, not realising we chose the exact family to help us clear karma and patterns before incarnating. The hatred, anger or judgement of a past ancestor will carry on down through the family, influencing the behaviour of future generations. So too are carried the guilt and karmic burden of murder and other acts.
