Tall trees in a serene forest symbolizing growth, grounding, and the healing of our inner demons through connection with nature and self-reflection.

In Healing Our Inner Demons, we gain priceless Self Awareness However, when we push away and disown our unwanted behaviours, many things happen. Disowning our anger, jealousy, fears, and hatreds means that these emotions have nowhere to go. We then, unintentionally create these “demons” that come back to haunt us when we’re feeling low, tired or ill. Negative Conditioning from Childhood Say I have had many ongoing childhood experiences of being found “wrong”, “not good enough”, or labelled “stupid” by either parents or teachers. Years later, I leave…

From the moment of conception, the developing foetus is being prepared for the world it will be born into. Therefore, during the 9 months of gestation in the womb, we are profoundly affected by our parents. Their every mood, emotion and attitude to life is woven into the growing foetus.
