In addition to my psychic business and radio show I also work with
young children regularly. It is a choice based on pure love. My favorite
group is the infants to five year olds, as these are the years before
the shields to love are put up – any doubts and fears about being
loveable are mild or nonexistent.
Being in the presence of young children who love with abandon reminds me
that it is safe to love as I relax into my pure nature of trust and
openness. How often in our adult lives do we question if it is safe to
love? How might our lives be different if we could delight in the
present moment and just feel the love that is there without any
expectations? Ahhh….. to love with the heart of a child!.
Because children are more present in the now and connected to their
essence they are highly intuitive. Their psychic faculties are still
intact and they sense and feel with their whole bodies. They are able to
see through the fresh new eyes of love. They do not have a lot of
concepts yet about how things or circumstances “should be’. The adult
tendency to label and categorize and judge everything is inactive in the
child for the first five years. The greatest spiritual philosophies and
teachings can’t compare to the gut feeling of a child or of yourself
when allow you allow your intuition to speak to you.
As we walk along our spiritual path we would be wise to witness what
delights the soul of a child. Notice how excited and animated children
get when they play. They vehemently assume the role of mom and dad or
dog and cat while playing house and then just as quickly relinquish
their roles to play another part. Adults tend to do the opposite,
hanging on to worn out identities and roles in life long after the
enthusiasm and true connection to them is exhausted. They betray the
moment for security or habit.
Children mentor us in becoming more true to ourselves. When they laugh
they laugh with their whole bellies shaking. When they cry they let
loose with a piercing sound that doesn’t mask their pain. There is no
shameful covering of their emotions. Their very aliveness and vitality
is linked to this willingness to feel and express themselves.
Children have an uncanny ability to reflect our deepest darkest places
in ourselves so that these areas can be brought into the light. Dr. John
Demartini says smiling that “children are the disowned parts of
ourselves”.
As a parent of four and a grandparent of one, I would say that my
greatest spiritual teachings have come from my children and grandchild.
Being a parent affords one the opportunity to learn to love
unconditionally each and every day. It is a choice we make each moment
whether to open our hearts to love, or to close and build walls around
ourselves. With laughter that delights our souls, let’s choose to love
with the fearlessly wide-open heart of a child.
