Songs For The Inner Child

The inspiration to record this collection of songs came to me one night as I was singing my children to sleep. As I sat rocking my youngest child, I realized that the singing my children found so calming and nourishing could extend beyond their rooms. I was doing inner child work at the time, personally and in my practice as a counselor. I suspected that the experience of being sung to could be deeply healing for many of the adults I knew. I felt instinctively that the songs my husband and I had been singing to our children could be a blessing to a wider audience.I began with six of the songs in my nightly repertoire that I felt were the most soothing. I said a prayer that any additional songs that would be useful would come to me. Within three weeks, four more songs had found their way to me, and I began work on the project.Each of these songs was chosen for the strength of its healing message. I deliberately recorded them at tempos that are unhurried; so many of us were hurried as children, so few of us got enough of the kind of loving and gentle support that these songs bring.As you listen, know that it is never too late to receive this kind of deep support. Music has the capacity to touch us in places that nothing else can. The child that lives inside of you can draw deeply from these songs, here and now, and be nourished and soothed by the energy they bring.Allow yourself to receive these songs intimately. Hear them as being sung just for you.I have felt deeply supported and inspired as I’ve recorded these songs. I hope they will gift and support you on your way.
