In the morning we had a very intimate talk about childhood experience and steps on how we should heal our inner child through the worship services of Pastor Paul. We were very thankful to Pastor Paul that he managed to share with us his childhood experiences and how he coped up with certain issues from the past- CHILDHOOD. From what I have remembered these were the steps in healing our inner child:



We have an age of the wounded inner child that relates to each stage of the development process. It is very important to start getting in touch with these parts of ourselves and building a Loving relationship with each of them.

1. ALLOW- To heal this wounded, inner child, you first need to locate them. Allow yourself to find your inner child and tune in with him or her.

2. ACCEPT- Acceptance of what you find and learn about this "little" one. The knowledge you gain from this inner child will most likely be painful. Accept it and work through it.

3. UNDERSTAND- It is only when we start understanding on an emotional level, that we were powerless to do anything any differently than we did that we can truly start to love ourselves. It is very important to start having compassion for that wounded part of ourselves.

4. LET GO- It is by owning our wounds that we can start taking the power away from the wounded part of us. When we suppress the feelings, feel ashamed about our reactions, do not own that part of our being, then we give it power. It is the feelings that we are hiding from that dictate our behavior, that fuel obsession and compulsion. We need to rescue and nurture and love our inner children - and STOP them from controlling our lives. STOP them from driving the bus! Children are not supposed to drive; they are not supposed to be in control.



He also let us experienced breathing exercises that could help us as we heal the inner child within us. Gently close your eyes and begin to take deep, slow breaths. With each inhale breathe in love and light, filling your whole being with both. On the exhale, breathe out all your worries, fears, concerns and doubts knowing that they are not serving you in the present moment.

As you begin to relax each part of your body, breathe into any areas that you are feeling stressed, pain or discomfort. When your body is completely relaxed, continue to take nice deep, slow breathes, envisioning love warming your body from within while the light heals you from within. Feel your self lifting higher and higher and freer and freer.



In the afternoon, we played an all- original Pinoy board game called MISMO! It was a very good game that for sure will be loved by the residents as soon as it is introduced to them. Then, we continued the practice of the presentations for the culminating activity tomorrow. I am very happy they were cooperated much like different from what we had yesterday. I should say their meeting with our practicum supervisor/ program officer helped bring a friendly atmosphere during that practice. They talked about how it is important to assess the feelings they had at the present moment and how they could be able to manage to be more positive in everything that they will do. Expressing ones feeling be it positive or negative is very important in order to manage to have a healthy living. We should learn to express it than to keep it aside and let it pass. Bursting of emotions is always a negative consequence if we do not disclose what emotions we have in us.



It’s truly true that learning is a continuous process because it always happen everyday. Thank God for this day! Thank God for letting me know how important is my expressing of emotions with my well- being! Smiles”,
