You have already learned that you have had your psychic abilities through most of your life, but it’s likely that as you grew up, the adults around you probably discouraged or ignored your special talents. Now, you have the opportunity to nurture and encourage the psychic abilities of your children. In this chapter, you will learn how to help a child identify and become comfortable with his natural intuitive gifts.
Listen to What Children Tell You
You may be a parent of young children, an aunt or uncle, or even a teacher. Or you may have young siblings, godchildren, or children of friends. Whether a child is your relative or whether you work with kids professionally, you are in a unique position to help them reach their psychic potential.
Through their early years, children accept the world around them without the same boundaries that they will have when they become adults. There are no limitations as far as a child is concerned. Their imagination is reality to them. They can see and comprehend dimensions that an adult is no longer able to do. Space, time, and other models of perception that they will inherit from adults as they grow older do not yet limit them.
Many adults still carry the stigma that they received as a child from overprotective adults. Sometimes harm is caused by an overprotective adult who is afraid a child will not conform to the general thinking of society. They do not nourish the child’s psychic gift, only stifle it.
A child has the ability to see both pictures in the hologram. They do it so naturally that both views are a reality to them. They can cross the line into a fantasy world that adults have long since forgotten. They can exist in an altered state of reality, and they can experience the world that Edgar Cayce called the unmanifest reality.
Children Are Teachers
Children are the true teachers. Many times their first assignment on earth is to teach an adult about a part of life that he has neglected. It may be as simple as unconditional love, or as complicated as resolving situations from the past. Unfortunately, many adults fail to grasp the opportunity to get themselves back in tune with their life purpose.
Many adults do not pay attention to what a child is really telling them. All they hear is idle chatter, and they may miss a wonderful opportunity to benefit from the experience. For a moment, imagine that a child is a visitor from someplace that had a different culture and language. Wouldn’t you treat this special visitor with courtesy, like a guest? Think of that the next time you are in a hurry and the child wants to teach you something that is very important to her. Perhaps it’s something that should be important to you, too.
Patience is the key to letting a child become your teacher. Remember that they are not yet used to communicating in the way that their minds know. They are still getting used to physical bodies that may not behave the way they expect them to.
Encourage Psychic Potential
You have a special opportunity to help children accept and become in tune with their rich psychic heritage. How you treat and nurture their intuitive gifts can impact their entire lives, either positively or negatively. If they feel threatened by their abilities, they may shut them off and never use them again.
Children may begin to indicate their psychic potential almost at birth. Study their eyes and how they look at you, others, and their surroundings. Observe how they hear and the natural movements of their bodies. As they grow, what characteristics do they develop that they could not have learned during their current lifetime? Keep accurate records. Here are a few suggestions:
•Keep a daily record of your observations of behaviour that may indicate psychic abilities.
•Look for behaviour patterns that indicate psychic abilities.
•Videotape actions that indicate psychic abilities.
•As the child grows, watch for responses to sensory input from all the five different senses.
•When the child can talk, ask questions relating to how his mind works in the five different senses.
Determine how the child’s mental makeup functions, and keep a record with follow-up questions.
As long as you allow children to feel confident that they can trust you with their knowledge, they will share it with you. If they think that you are not sincere, they will not tell you what they know. If you lose their trust, it may be hard to win it back again.
Some adults go so far as to threaten punishment for a child whose reality does not fit in the normal world. If you observe a behavior pattern that may not be accepted by others, you may want to discuss it with the child. Children can learn when to share what they know and when it is time to keep it to themselves. Remember each child is a special human being who is different from anyone else on earth. If you observe and identify the child’s special intuitive abilities, you have helped them find a tool that they can use throughout their entire lives.
Begin Early
It is very important to establish the groundwork for psychic growth in the preschool years. Children in traumatic family situations develop their psychic ability rapidly, often as a defense and escape mechanism. You may observe a child of preschool age who has imaginary friends. If you tell this child that those friends are not real, the child may lose the ability to see them. On the other hand, if the child is comfortable with this gift, those friends may remain visible throughout the child’s adult life, too.
Once children start school, they can become painfully aware that they are different from other children. If children are ridiculed, they will shut down their special intuitive gifts. The more you are aware of potential struggles, the more you can help them adjust to the differences in beliefs that exist in the world around them. They may develop the ability to see auras or other things. The more you let them feel free to discuss how they really feel and experience, the more self-confidence they will develop in their own special psychic gifts.
The Teen Years
Some children may not reach their psychic potential until their teenage years. As their bodies change, they seem to open even more to the energy of the Universe. The teen years can provide some of the greatest opportunities for psychic development and growth.
You can do a wonderful service to teenagers by giving them permission to explore and work with their natural-born psychic abilities. Imagine how it would benefit mankind if someone you encouraged to take the risk to grow psychically went on to use his or her gifts in a positive way.
In the following sections, you can examine different psychic abilities common to children, including astral projection (ability to fly psychically), memories of past lives, having prophetic dreams, and communication with imaginary friends (who may be their spiritual guides).
Memories of Flight
Can you remember what it was like to fly? Some adults still can. Children’s minds accept a second reality of a nonphysical body. In that form, they are free to escape the gravitational restrictions of their earthly body. It is easy for them to move about in a weightless dimension because their minds have not yet been constrained to the limited views of the adult world.
Only when they become aware of their physical bodies do children start to pull back from this second reality. An adult’s influence on a child during the transition years will make a great difference to the freedom of nonphysical travel he will have the rest of his life. Those who learn they cannot fly any more will more than likely never do it again during their current lifetime. Those who are encouraged to continue to fly in their minds will enjoy this freedom for as long as they want.
You can have a major impact on children who believe they can fly. If you start observing their mental processes at an early age, you will quite probably be able to detect when children leave their bodies for a short period of time. At that age, they do not separate their physical body from their mental body. In their reality they are flying with both mental and physical bodies, even though it is only their mental one that leaves. They can actually experience physical sensations as they travel about.
Encourage Astral Projection
If a child tells you he can fly, how would you respond to him? Would you tell him that flying was only his imagination, or would you ask him to tell you how he does it? Perhaps a good way would be to ask him to tell you what he knows in his own way. It may be that the experience he describes is astral projection. He may believe that he can instantly go to a different place, and he may view that experience as flying.
Children often have experiences that they tell you as a story. It makes no sense to you but makes absolute sense to them. Give them the benefit of their expertise. You may want to ask them when they first knew they could fly, what it feels like, and how often do they do it. What experiences do they have when they reach their destinations? Perhaps they go to other realms beyond the limitations of our earth.
A Few of the Benefits
Why encourage a child to fly? Of course, in the world of normal reality, no one can fly. So what good does it do to imagine? In the second view of reality, the world takes on a complete new dimension. If a child or an adult is able to enter that world, many wonderful things can result from the experience. Keeping the ability to fly in one’s mind can keep the doorway open to unlimited experiences and resources.
When artist Kathleen Moore was a child, she was able to fly through her special enchanted woods filled with beautiful fairies, birds, and flowers. As an adult, she was able to bring this same enchantment into her beautiful paintings.
Knowing Where and How to Land
The hazard for a child who can fly is relating the experience to those who do not understand. If you encounter a child who has this ability, you can help her to understand that some people will not believe her. That way, she’ll be prepared and protected from the possibility of ridicule. If she knows how to relate to the normal reality of the world around her, she can step into and return from her world of flight whenever she wants or needs to. Once children learn whom they can trust, they will have the freedom to explore and a place they can come back to with the confidence that their experiences will be accepted as a reality.
Stories from Before
Once children begin to talk, they may tell you stories from before. These stories can range from experiences before birth and between lifetimes, of past lives, or of things they know and experience from other worlds or dimensions. Their second reality is open to the Universe, and time has no parameters or boundaries for them.
If it is possible, you may want to set aside a period of time each day called Story Time. It may be during a period when the child is encouraged to rest, stay quiet, or read. It should be in a place they feel safe, comfortable, and free from interruptions. It is important to establish an activity that is fun and one that the child looks forward to. It should be an experience where the child feels free to let their imagination take both of you wherever it goes, as long as it is positive and beneficial.
Never force children to tell you more than they want to. If the experience of Story Time is unpleasant, they will not be as open and sharing of their stories from before. The more comfortable they are, the easier it will be.
It may take some time to establish a routine. Children tend to have a short attention span, and they may be reluctant to share at first. As long as they feel you are truly interested in what they know from the past, sooner or later they will become comfortable and learn to trust in your intentions. You may be amazed when they begin to confide in you about their experiences from before.
Collect the data from Story Time, and make notes on where you would like them to elaborate in the next session. Remember to keep in mind the five different image senses when you ask your questions.
Past-Life Abilities
It is very possible for children to be born with special psychic abilities that they acquired in a past life. A child who is given the opportunity will start to use those born gifts again as he or she grows and develops. Children may use their past-life talents at first as they remember how they used them from before. If current conditions are different, they could become frustrated and abandon them forever.
It is normal for a parent or other family member to want a child to do well with her natural abilities. However, please keep in mind that good intentions can sometime lead to pushing the child beyond her interests, and the result is that the child abandons special natural gifts.
Identify Abilities Related to Seeing
The first step is to identify the strengths of the child’s use of the five senses. How well do they see? As they grow you may be able to watch their eyes looking at images that the normal human eye fails to detect. These images may come from their mind, or they may be an energy that they see. If it is their imagination, they will look up and to either the right or left. If it is something that is an energy form, they will focus on its location and follow it with their eyes.
A child may begin to see auras around other people. If they start when they are older, it is possible that they may think they need glasses to correct what they are seeing. They may be able to see spirits, ghosts, or angels. They may focus on another lifetime and become absorbed in this second reality. Many of these abilities are natural and are a part of a child’s heritage from the past.
Identify Hearing Abilities
Some children may be born with the ability to hear at a level that would be considered a psychic gift. They may be able to hear the spirits, guides, angels, or even the Voice of God. They may be able to hear sounds from a different period of time. They may have the ear of a great musician in the past. The more you encourage them to develop this talent, the more they will be comfortable and confident in using it in the future.
Identify Feeling Abilities
Other children may be born with the ability to feel energy. They may bring forward a healing touch that can help many people in their lifetime. They may be able to feel moods and predict pending future events. They may have a great compassion for mankind that is a part of their soul’s journey. If you know of a child with these healing and compassionate qualities, you may want to help guide them to gain confidence in these intuitive abilities.
Psychic Abilities Related to Taste and Smell
As in the other senses, some children may bring with them special psychic gifts in taste and smell. They may smell things in certain places that no one else is able to. They may have a reaction to the taste or smell of a food that is related to a past life. They may have a born ability to cook from recipes they have brought with them from the past. Their ability to smell may connect them to other images from the past, such as visual images or sounds or voices.
A child may be born with special artistic talents in music, drawing, writing, or painting. As soon as you spot the possibility of a natural talent, think about how you can encourage it to grow and flourish. The most important thing to remember is that their gift should be something they enjoy and not feel pushed into.
Memories of a Past Life
It’s also possible for children to have such a strong memory from a past life that they have trouble separating its reality from their current life. They may treat you or others differently from the role they are currently experiencing. They may act like your parent or take on another family role.
Children can see someone as a threat in this lifetime in response to a situation is carried over from a past lifetime. They may react to a certain individual’s presence with fear or other abnormal behavior. If you observe this, you may want to give the child a chance to tell you at an opportune time why they feel the way they do about that person. You may be able to help them adjust to this lifetime and help them use their intuitive ability as part of their guidance system in the future.
Working Through Unresolved Karma
A child may actually be part of an old unresolved karma from a past life. They may bring with them the opportunity for those close to them to begin to get back in tune with their soul’s journey. It may be something between just you and a child, or it may involve even more players. Whatever the lesson is, the child is a part of it, and if it is not resolved, you may need to continue in another lifetime.
This old karma may include the carrying forward of psychic abilities from a past life. These abilities could have been developed for a special purpose, such as for survival. The problem is, this life is different, and the child may not know how to adjust their intuitive abilities from the past to their present life. The sooner you recognize that a child is struggling with an issue from the past, the sooner you can help them become in tune with their purpose in this life.
Imaginary Friends
You may notice children who carry on conversations with one or more other people who are invisible to the naked eye. These children may have what is commonly known as imaginary friends. These friends may have special names. Children may include their friends in many of the family’s activities, or they may choose to play with them when they are alone. They may tell you about games they are taught to play by their friends from the Other Side. These friends may be connected to a specific location, but it is the child’s natural gift for second sight that allows them to be aware of their presence.
So what do you say to a child who plays with imaginary friends? Do you encourage her, or do you tell her to stop? When Kate was a small child, she would play with the spirit of her brother, who had died before she was born. One day she and her brother were playing in the car, and her mother, who was driving, told Kate to behave. When Kate explained that it was her brother’s fault, her mother reminded her that he was dead, and afterward Kate never saw him again.
Children walk a fragile line between their dual realities, and sometimes it is very easy to discourage them from being able to experience both views. Even when an adult takes an action that is intended to be positive for the child, it may in fact have a negative effect. It is a good idea to proceed with caution and a lot of sensitivity when you address the subject of imaginary friends with a child.
Guides and Angels
Many children have imaginary friends who are really their spiritual guides. You may want to ask a child if he has something or someone who does watch over them — it may look like a fairy, an angel, or even a deceased relative. Children may not see their invisible teams, but they may still hear voices, feel their presence, or smell a special odor when they need to have the feeling of support. You may be aware of something that is happening between a child and his or her team before the topic comes up for conversation.
Sometimes, when children see something that is watching over them, it can be an uncomfortable experience. They may not be happy about their abilities to be aware of the unseen. Not only can you help the child understand that she has a special gift that she shouldn’t be afraid of, you may also be able to communicate with what the child is seeing and request that they do not scare the child. Sometimes even spirits need help in order to understand their effect on the real world.
The subject of angels or guides may be a good subject for discussion during Story Time. If children do have something that watches over them, ask them to describe or draw what it looks like. Find out how often they communicate with the spirits and ask them to share with you each time they have a new visit. You could be in for a great adventure that can teach you and help a child grow and develop their intuitive gifts.
Dreams and Nightmares
It is very possible that children’s psychic abilities may manifest themselves in dreams and even nightmares. They may dream past-life memories that indicate possible psychic talents that can continue to develop in their current lifetime. In your Story Time, you may ask them to tell you about their dreams and nightmares. You can then explain to them the realities that apply to their life now and help them understand any others that are only a dream they do not need to continue.
Nightmares may stem from unresolved past-life issues. A good way to help a child work through a nightmare is to help them connect with their Universal Protection. At an early age that may mean feeling a sense of something that is with them such as an angel that watches over and protects them from harm. Let them tell you what is the best for them, and then you can reinforce what they say.
A deceased relative may visit a child in a dream. They may be there to provide comfort when it is needed or to warn him to be aware of potential problems. If children learn to be comfortable and trust their dreams, they can incorporate the deceased relative as part of their guidance system. They can learn to believe that messages in their dreams are for the good if they use the information positively.
As they grow older, children may be able to perceive the future in a dream state. Usually the information they receive is of some pending unpleasantness, such as the death of a relative. They may blame themselves for the results of their dream. It is easy for them to become scared of this psychic ability, and they may try hard to make their gift disappear. If you know of a child who feels guilty for an intuitive gift, you can help explain to her that it is not her fault and that what she was born with is a gift that can be used for good throughout her lifetime.
Help Your Child Develop Her Gifts
Many adults develop their psychic abilities as children without the help of others. For most, these abilities came about as a direct result of the environment they were raised in. In many cases, psychic talents were developed under pressure to help them escape negative situations. That sensitivity has remained with them as adults, and now it may be out of balance with their environment. In other words, many adults developed psychic talents as children for a purpose that is no longer needed, but they do not know how to adjust this gift to their current life situation.
Imagine what it would be like for children to grow up in an environment that was filled with love and the freedom to understand. It would be a time when they could grow with the opportunity to reach into their rich heritage of abilities that they brought with them when they were born. Imagine a child who was allowed to understand his special gifts and learn to develop confidence in letting them be used for the good of others.
You have that opportunity to help children grow and develop their special psychic gifts. It may be the beginning of a special bond between you, the children, and the Universe. It is very possible that you may also learn and become confident in your own psychic abilities when you enter the world of unlimited opportunity of a child.
