You might notice a playfulness to your mood today which could make you feel as if you are living out your second childhood. Letting the innocent part of yourself come out to play might be a way for you to feel the energy and joy of your younger years as well as allowing you to experience the world in a simple and pure way. Maybe you can think back to a time as a child when life seemed perfect. Using this moment as a springboard, you might try to conjure up all the sensations associated with this memory – the sights, sounds, feelings that surrounded you. Try imagining that you are living this time again, relishing everything that is delightful about your child self, and you might notice that this visualization helps you to see things in a different light today.

Consciously bringing the childlike innocence we once had into our lives enables us to experience things fully. When we were children our world was unsullied – everything in it was alive with the wonders of exploration and sensation. As we got older, though, it became easier to notice the problems in the world and feel them as our own. Going back to the past, ironically, makes it easier for us to more completely experience the pleasure of the present moment, seeing that there is a wonder to the everyday things that surround us and basking in the happiness that comes from this realization. By connecting with your inner child today, your encounter with the world will be filled with bliss.
