Joy is the glue of balance for a Human seeking a way out of the darkness of depression and suffering. A moment of joy can erase months of uncertainty and sorrow for a Human who is desperate to see the light of laughter. Joy is the staple of children, who seek it out, demand it, and use it to its fullness. The natural state of children is laughter and all that steps on it is inappropriate.
Blessed is the one who learns to sever "old issues" from their current lives, and instead build around what they know to be joyful in the now. The "inner child" is not your history, necessarily, but that of humanity in general. If you had a wonderful childhood, then use it to remember what it was like to have no problems, where the only thing you had to worry about was how long you could play.
The idea here is to search for the inner child that did play - perhaps the one in make believe or when you were asleep. It represents the overall childlike attitude, joy, play, and peace. If you didn't have it, you still knew about it! You wanted it so badly that the fact you didn't get it wounded you! So, now I ask you to create it as though it happened. This not only helps you to relax in the now, but also helps to "heal" the Akash and bring you to a place of forgiveness to those who have seemed to have taken it away. A true inner child experience melts the heart and creates a light where no darkness or hatred can exist.
Create whatever child you wish to be, but then go there and wallow in the laughter and giggles of a space with no worry or drama. Feel your heart and life lighten as you do, for remember, there is always sunshine above the clouds, where the child is, and where you are free to romp in the grass with the Creator - something you have done for eons.
This is the state of being that is next to mastery, for if you were to analyze the lives of the masters of Earth, they would all seem to be "childlike."
