Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast

Learn the root cause of your anxiety from fear of the future and obsessing about worst-case scenarios and how to overcome this anxiety using Wu Wei Wisdom techniques.

This is part two of our new five-part series on managing anxiety using Wu Wei Wisdom techniques.

This episode unpacks fear of the future and obsessive anxiety, which is a common issue among many individuals. It manifests in various forms, affecting different aspects of life such as career, finances, health, and family. 

This fear often stems from a deep-seated desire to control and predict future outcomes, a desire that is heavily influenced by our Inner Child or subconscious mind.

You’ll learn how to overcome these fears by understanding the motivations of your Inner Child, being self-aware of your emotional triggers, and challenging and changing your beliefs so that you can break the cycle of fear.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).

Learn the fourth vital step in Inner Child work and Inner Child reparenting: nurturing exercises and activities that harness your Inner Child's energy and enthusiasm.

This episode is part four of our five-part Inner Child Work Essentials series. 

Many clients do the hard work of building a relationship with their Inner Child but fail to change their mindset about it: your Inner Child is not your enemy or out to mess up your life. If you keep treating your Inner Child negatively, it will continue to see itself as separate and a victim.

In this teaching, we explore how to engage with your Inner Child in a positive way as an act of self-love through daily nurturing activities, making meditation fun, embracing creativity, and scheduling joyful activities. This ongoing practice will help you and your Inner Child work together, finding joy in all aspects of life.

Learn the third vital step in Inner Child work and Inner Child reparenting: how to build trust through consistency and honesty with your Inner Child.

This episode is part three of our five-part Inner Child Work Essentials series.

Establishing trust with our Inner Child is essential because this part of our mind often believes it cannot trust anyone. This distrust stems from childhood experiences where promises were broken, leading to a mindset of control and self-protection.

Before we can trust others or life itself, we must first trust ourselves. This involves honest communication and integrity with ourselves. Building trust and consistency in Inner Child work is a transformative process. By demonstrating commitment, addressing issues honestly, and maintaining a consistent practice, you can create a harmonious and healing relationship with your Inner Child.

Learn the first important step in Inner Child work and Inner Child reparenting: how to connect with and actively listen to your Inner Child.

This episode is part one of our five-part Inner Child Work Essentials series. 

You’ll learn how to recognise your Inner Child’s voice and messages, encourage your Inner Child to speak clearly and calmly, and actively listen to your Inner Child in a way that helps them open up and share. 

When you experience intense, uncomfortable, or painful emotions, your inner child is often clamouring for attention. Instead of shutting down these feelings, it’s important to acknowledge and address them. By listening and understanding these emotions, you can begin the Inner Child healing process.
