Acceptance

Most everyone strives for some level of acceptance in their life.  Children especially seek to be loved and accepted as they find their way through life.  In particular, intuitive children who are sensitive to energy can be extra sensitive to how they feel about themselves and their place among their peers and family.

There are a large number of clairsentient, telepathic, and empathic children who read other people's energy and thoughts.  Most of the children who do this are completely unaware that they are doing so.  It is the way they function.  It is like being a thermometer.  These children take each person's "temperature" as they cross paths with them.  They are constantly reading the energy of others.  They size people up through knowingness and feelings, and they are very sensitive to the energy of their environment.   

Having extra perceptive powers can make a child, who doesn't have the maturity and awareness to know the difference between their own "stuff" and that of others, feel confused or make one feel "not normal" or unaccepted.  It can be challenging to sort through all the different energies they are sensing.  All the energies these intuitive children take in can end up lumped together and result in high emotions such as frustration or wanting to withdraw into their own space. 

An even larger challenge is presented when the energies of a sensitive, high-vibrating soul collide with the energies of a lower-vibrating soul.  Some kids just plow through life completely unaware of how they make others feel and see the world though their eyes only.  Heck, this can be challenging as an adult!  This type of situation can be very upsetting and confusing to an energetically sensitive child, and when this happens, it can put a sensitive soul into a tailspin of worry, doubt, and fear.

Sensitivity is a spiritual gift.  It is a heart-centered gift.  These sensitive children have a high energetic vibration, and encounters with those whose energy vibrates at lower rate can be very challenging.  It can feel just plain uncomfortable. 

Help intuitive children understand their spiritual gifts by explaining that everyone has free will, and we all make our own choices.  Let your children know that even though they are acutely aware of how other people feel, it is not theirs to own and take on personally.  Intuitive children are wise souls.  A little reminder to not take others' actions and choices personally will go a long way as they progress through life and is a life skill that is highly valuable, especially when learned early on.

There are many high-vibrating souls who have chosen to incarnate with the job of assisting in raising other people's vibrations.  These souls are sensitive to energy, and their heart chakras are wide open.  Honor these highly sensitive and intuitive children by helping them understand that they have extra perceptive understandings of people.  They are to, first, accept themselves and their power, and secondly, accept others with compassion.  This is a powerful lesson, and life presents many opportunities to practice both compassion and acceptance.  When children are guided at a young age to have unconditional love for themselves and others, they will go through life remembering who they are and navigate through life with their spiritual gifts intact and functioning.


Have you noticed?

My guidance tells me that many of the souls that have come into the physical in the past few years are highly connected to music.  Have you seen these dancing babies and toddlers?  These souls are very drawn to music and are connected to music energetically.  Music is a powerful and healing energy.  Music carries energetic encoding within the notes themselves.  The vibration of music clears our energy and raises our spirits.  Play uplifting music for children often.  You will notice that their bodies start bouncing and wiggling immediately to music that is high vibrating.

After a few months of not sending out a newsletter, I am ready to get going again!  The past few months, for me, have been a time of releasing, looking inward, and adjusting to all the powerful energies that have been coming in since the beginning of 2011!  I am now moving forward with newsletters and other projects… So let’s begin!

I am starting 2011 off with a new experience...Blog Talk Radio.  My dear friend, Morrighan Lynne, has invited me to be a guest host on her radio show, "Rock What You Got."  We will, of course, be discussing the New Children, so please join us!  We will be live on the air on April 10, 2011, at 11am MST.  You can also listen to the show in the show archives after it has aired.  Here is the link to the show:

Honoring Your Power

Many sensitive and intuitive children have one thing in common...they don't understand their gifts and in turn have a lack of self-esteem and confidence.  It is difficult for adults to manage their own feelings and not take things personally.  Imagine what it is like for children who feel different and feel like they don't fit in.  This can be very confusing!  What these kids don't realize is that they are not different; they are highly sensitive to energy.  They pick up on other people’s energies/feelings and take them on as their own, when they are not.  Learning to manage this kind of energy can be difficult, but it is not impossible.  The key is awareness and practice.
      
I have spent a large part of my life feeling different and not understanding why.  I have been hard on myself, I have not felt good enough, and just plain wondered why I am not like everyone else.  It has not been until I started to awaken and move forward on my path, by educating myself in esoteric philosophies, that I have come to understand that "It truly is not personal!" 

I am highly sensitive and intuitive, and when I am around other people, I pick up on their feelings and thoughts.  In the past, I have always thought that all these feelings I have picked up on, when I am around other people, were mine.  I struggled with differentiating other people's energies from my own.  Now, as a result of understanding my spiritual gifts, I have the awareness to realize that the stuff I pick up on, when I am around other people, is not necessarily mine. 

Remember the movie with Mel Gibson, "What Women Want"?  Mel electrocuted himself and found himself with the ability to hear women's thoughts.  When this first started happening to him, he held his head and covered up his ears and was totally overwhelmed.  After Mel realized he was hearing women’s thoughts, he taught himself how to manage hearing their thoughts so it did not overwhelm him. 

This is exactly what it can be like for children who become school-aged and find themselves in an environment full of different types of energies.  Although this is somewhat of an extreme example, it is a good comparison for what it is like to be overwhelmed by other people’s energies, thoughts, and/or emotions.  For most people it is more of a subtle experience, which is exactly why it is so confusing.

Many parents and caregivers have some idea of the ways their child is sensitive and intuitive, either consciously or subconsciously.  Helping the children by nurturing their spiritual gifts helps them remain open and connected to their higher selves...the true essence of their spirit.  That is the goal...  When we honor our spirit and remain true to ourselves by honoring our power, life on Earth will be a less bumpy ride.  For when we are disconnected from our inner truth, the essence of who we are, life can give us some pretty big challenges.  So help the children honor who they are and help them to understand and become aware of their own power. 

If you are in need of spiritual guidance to help you better understand your child and their gifts, please visit my website and click on the “services” tab.  It is self directed on that page to set up a reading with me.  Here is the link:  http://www.intuitivechildren.net/services.html

Alignment with the Soul

With the Aquarian Age upon us, many people have been going through a spiritual awakening…myself included.  My awakening started approximately 10 years ago.  Spirit crossed my path, and I just knew I had more to discover.  Through the awareness I now have, I realize what a large part of my life has been conducted by my ego and not from my spirit.  Thankfully, I am now living from my spirit more and more, and my choices are now made with awareness and in alignment with my spirit.  As a result, I enjoy living my life in the flow rather than against it.  

Many of us have been duped by the ego simply because we were not aware of or taught about ego energies.  When we allow ourselves to disconnect from our inner truth, our divine spirit within, we start the process of allowing the false self to take over, aka, the ego.  As a result, we end up disconnected from our true spiritual being, and we end up unfulfilled, searching, struggling, and not always happy.
 
The ego starts to develop when we are children, approximately around the ages of 4-5 years old.  Kids enter the school system and get a crash course in ego games (I wrote about this in my September Newsletter).  Kids often learn at school how to play ego games, such as, “I am better, faster, or smarter than you.”  As children progress through the school years, they start to notice how they are different from one another.  This begins the “fitting-in,” “finding oneself,” or “losing oneself” phase of development.  This is an example of a turning point in one's personal development, where one can start the cycle of doubting oneself and looking outside of oneself to define who one is, and the process of losing touch with one's divine spirit begins.  Unfortunately, too many children lose touch with their own spirit and begin making choices from the ego at very young ages.
 
How can we help the children stay in touch with their individual spirits?  The answer is awareness and open communication with your kids.  Help your child create awareness for himself by guiding him to make choices from his heart/spirit versus from outside of himself, i.e., ego.  Jesus taught us about the divinity we each have within our being, and how we have the power within to heal ourselves.  He taught us that healing comes from within our being/spirit and not outside of us.
 
Keep an open dialogue going with your children, discussing things like looking within their individual spirit for what brings them joy, what makes them feel good about themselves, or what does their intuition tell them?  These are a few examples of areas that help promote a healthy relationship with one's inner guidance system and one's spiritual self.  Encourage your children to do things from their hearts and to not do things just to please other people.  Teach children to love themselves, their spirit, and to be happy with who they are.
 
Lastly, it is important to teach the children to forgive themselves.  It is commonplace in our culture to forgive others when they hurt us, but what is uncommon within our culture is teaching children to forgive themselves.  We cannot be whole and healthy if we do not love ourselves 100 percent!  The inside reflects the outside.  Healing takes place from the inside out, just like a cut does.  Our physical body heals from the inside out, and so does our spirit.  Let's teach the children to let their spirits shine from the inside out!
