J-Lo Expresses Inner Child, Relieves Stress

Aug. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- J-Lo, Jennifer Lopez, is caught expressing her inner child recently as she kicks her legs up in the air as she joins her twins on the swings at an Atlanta park. According to Mail Online reporter Sarah Fitzmaurice, J-Lo was taking a break from a hard schedule of filming and the stresses of her recent announcement of the split with husband and the father of her children, Marc Anthony.

According to Cathryn Taylor, author of the best selling, The Inner Child Workbook, J-Lo is doing one of the best things possible to relieve stress and tension. “Playing, getting in touch with that spontaneous, fun, creative part within all of us increases the release of that feel-good hormone, endorphins which alters moods immediately.  

So why don’t we play more? Taylor states, “What prohibits us from seizing moments such as this is that we learned a long time ago it was not safe to be spontaneous.  Our joy is eclipsed by our fear. Taylor suggests one method to get around this is to ask your self, “Who inside is afraid to trust, to run free, to feel joy? Where, along the way, did I abandon my willingness to risk? When did I exchange playing for playing it safe?” Your internal responses may surprise you.

Taylor’s The Inner Child Workbook:What To Do With Your Past When It Just Won't Go Away originally published by Jeremy Tarcher, Inc. in 1991, is now celebrating its 20th year in publication and its 37th printing. One of five books published in the early 1990’s which popularized the concept of the inner child, Taylor says it was the launching pad for her own creativity. She continued to evolve this concept in four more self-published books and five e-books – all offering solutions and techniques on championing the child within all of us. Her most recent contribution to this field is the creation of “interactive tapping”, an advanced technique of the new energy therapy based on Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT.

Cathryn, also a licensed counselor, uses tapping in her Life Style Coaching practice to teach clients how to neutralize disruptions which occurred in their energy system at the time of a traumatic incident. Taylor explains, “What happens is that a part of our psyche goes into an emotional spasm and it keeps firing off until the original energy disruption is corrected and resolved. If the incident resonated with a childhood wound then that incident or experience is triggered as well and must be addressed.

To celebrate this 20 Year Celebration, Cathryn is offering a 20-Week package in which she is bringing The Inner Child Workbook into the 21st Century.  “Each week I will be take a chapter in the original Workbook and integrate it with my latest written material, my audio and video recordings and offer EFT Sequences which enhance the original exercises.   It is truly the next generation of The Inner Child Workbook.
