Hi Mon~ That's an interesting way of looking at it. I hadn't thought of it like that before. You know, for all of the interesting issues that come up when raising small children, intuitive or otherwise, it seems that simply respecting the children and their experiences works wonders regardless of belief system. Some people might feel certain in their beliefs to the point of "knowing what's real", but I'm not one of them. I'm just making my best guesses, and giving Lucas the benefit of the doubt in all cases. Trying to see things from his point of view helps me think of ways to comfort him and help him feel safe.
Cheers!

Great topic and ideas Alexis.

I have a different belief system, but the approach is still valid. For example, I believe that a person's own Shadows and thoughts can manifest separate from the body. I mean, it's only our idea that the soul/mind/spirit all reside in the body shell right?
These can feel so separate that they appear as malevolent others. And we feel that we can't possible have control over them.

Anyway, the approach of acknowledging that what they see is real still stands. In fact, I was thinking that it still stands even if it WAS just a dream. A dream is real as well, and for a small just-wakened child, the images can feel so fresh and alive.

Hi Lisa,

Hi Lisa,

Lucid dreaming?! Wow! How cool! I like the idea of using their minds to change their dreams by focusing on happy things. I also like the pictures of protectors. We talk about his guides and angels, but we haven't put anything in his room to remind him of that. Good idea!

Yes, this topic is definitely in my book. I've been getting a lot of questions about it lately, so I thought it was high time to post about it here.

I can't wait to read your stories! I'm really getting excited about the momentum of this project. I feel like I'm in the center of a gently swirling vortex, and as more people are drawn in with their thoughts and ideas, we're all beginning to pick up speed. Any tips on not getting thrown off from the centrifugal force? :)

Cheers!
Alexis

Hi Alexis, wonderful topic and post, and comment exchange. I hope this topic is in your book too? I didn't realize you were so far along, I guess I better email you soon if I am going to share any of my own stories!
As for the nighttime scaries, I am so with you on all of these things. And it is a fine balance, empowering them to honor their own intuitions while also helping them to feel safe. The second one, acknowledging your child's power to send them away, I think is really critical, and something interesting happened recently along these line with my eldest, almost 5. I had told her when she has a bad dream that when she wakes up she should try and focus on happy things, and that will influence the dreams she has when she falls back asleep. Well the other day her little brother told us he had a bad dream, and she told him that he could 'change his dreams to be good ones'. When I questioned her, it sounded like she was actually changing her dreams while they happened, not after waking up - lucid dreaming, and something some people spend years trying to accomplish! I can't wait to hear more about it, but don't want to bring it up too much...
I also have pictures of White Tara and Buddha in their rooms, and I always remind them that these are protectors (and these are just figures I like, obviously there are many others from other traditions.) I often say that about myself too, that I 'don't allow' scary things in the house and they should tell me when they feel something scary. I have mixed feelings about this, as I don't want to shut down their sensations as you said, but I do want to reaffirm for them that it's part of my job to keep them safe, and that I can and will do what it takes.

Hi Liz!

Hi Liz!

I'm going to send you an email about setting up a livejournal. That sounds great!

Also, a great spiritual blog that is not mom-focused (although Lisa is a mother of young children) is http://mommymystic.wordpress.com/. She writes about women's spirituality in the 21st century. She's a great writer and I think you'd really like her approach.

I'll continue in an email to follow...

Cheers!

2009-09-13T17:31:48.000-07:00

^_^ aw thanks :) lovely energy *blushes*, i feel the same though, mostly bloggers are self involved or ''ya, read my blog''..then again, being a fashion student i do tend to read fashion/style blogs, so its not surprising. do you know of any other good non-mom spiritual blogs?

i checked back not long ago, but it was all a bit...hmm.. beyond me? still.. i spoke to someone about it and they told me perhaps it wasnt the right information for me, or not the right time..im fine with that..

have you used crystalinks.com? also an awesome spirit refrence site.. for literally ANYTHING non earthly, eg: aliens, crystals, spirit guides, angels, love, reiki..the list goes on and on and on..

also..theres no such thing as a coincidence.. heh, i LOVE that bit of life.. its optimistic :D...but yeah, linking us all up would be awesome, always good to hear another persons way of putting things. a livejournal would be good, that way we could all post out own entries and everyone could comment on them...also, other people who just ''happen'' to find it, can join, and put their own in. ooooohh that sounds exciting :)

thankyou for replying to all my ramblings :) youve brightened my weekend by getting back to me..i spent the entire of yesterday wallpapering and hoovering and cooking..and so i have to admit i was a little excited checking back here this morning after such a droll sunday..i am a loser, lol.

love and light

Hiya Liz,
I'm just tickled by our exchange ...

2009-09-13T12:49:57.000-07:00

Hiya Liz,
I'm just tickled by our exchange and by your lovely energy! Your spiritual development course sounds fabulous! I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

Thanks for the reminder about Spirit Library. I feel the same about it - it's fascinating, but a bit beyond my scope of experience - and therefore I haven't checked back there in a while. I should peek back in.

I know many people around your age who are in a spiritual space similar to the one you find yourself in now. Some of them are my former students from 15 years ago, and just at the time I started opening up to all of this, they started looking me up and reconnecting. No coincidence, I'm sure. I was thinking just today that it would be fun to link all of you up together, somehow, so you could share your experiences. I don't know yet what that might look like, but the idea is intriguing. :)

You've brightened my weekend with your comments, Liz! So nice to be getting to know you!
Cheers!
Alexis

heyheyhey!

2009-09-12T18:21:01.000-07:00

heyheyhey!

yeah, i am embracing my gifts, just sometimes wish id see rather than knowing..cuz that can feel like im doing crazy.. o_0..
im doing a 'spiritual development' course. starting on september 28th, one night a week for 10 weeks, you get a taste of lots of things, from clairvoyance, to crystals and tarot and numerology, and metting spirit guides etc, i am SO excited :). your blog will DEFFO be helping people explore that part of themselves, it helped me..knowing there was someone out there who is REALLY open to it, teaching their own child, who is NORMAL and is only just discovering it, where you dont have some mystical story to tell, it is just your life..it gives this side of things, the norm..like it should be..its not privilaged, everyone has the gifts, you just gotta work on it :).

yeah, theyre by micheal newton, i think i like those books becuase he is a scientist and was a total sceptic, then one day he was doing a hypnotherapy sesh with someone and accidently slipped into passed life with them and was terrfied and didnt do it for a while, until encouraged by his clients and friends. the books are a real help, everything is backed up by case studies etc, and it makes so much sense. theyre very intense though..so dont be frustrated if you cant take more than half the books in..i cant! my head just kind of shuts off..like ''woah woah, let me process this!!''. journey should be read first, as he refers to it a lot in the second book..

also..my sensitivity to bad parenting...i think its teling me to go and cover the childs eyes and ears, smack the parent round the head and ask them if they know what damage theyre dong?! it upsets me so much to see people not taking the greatest care with their child.. like..people who let the kid wander 10 meters behind them in the street...they wouldnt let a puppy off the lead..why let a child out of your sight??! im only 20 and i know all this stuff..everyone says ''it doesnt come with a manual'' well for crying out loud, you can buy them in the shops now, dozens of them!!! and intuition..were built to make babies...its alll natural!!!

arg, sorry..vent. anyway.. pleeenty of people will be recieving this blog :) i 'found' you on spirit library? im not big into that sight yet as i dont know about everything they talk about, it kind of goes right over my head.. so if im in england i found you...people from all over will be reading your day to day events..after all, were all evolving into conscious faster and faster, and finding people like you will become more important, whether people know it or not, i know im glad to have found the blog :)

love and light

2009-09-12T14:53:55.000-07:00

Hi again, Liz!

I really appreciate you sharing what appeals to you about this blog. I've been writing from a sense that I just need to share what's going on within me and with Lucas. I started this blog with no idea of where it would lead, and certainly no plan for developing an audience. As I continue writing the blog and the book(s), it's helpful to know how others are receiving it. Your words are precious confirmation that I'm on the right track.

Thanks for the book recommendations. By Michael Newton, right? I just put them on hold at the library!

It sounds like you are well on your way to embracing your own intuitive gifts, Liz! Um ... 3 feet away and you can feel people's physical pain? Of course you're gifted, my dear! Call it Indigo or empathic or whatever, but you've got it. I'm meeting more and more people these days who, somewhere along the line, shut down their intuitive or empathic gifts, and who are now coming into a greater awareness of who they really are. Maybe this blog is helping people to explore that part of themselves. I really hope so.

Your keen sensitivity to other people's bad parenting is telling you something, don't you think? There's probably a calling there, somewhere.

It's lovely connecting with you, Liz! Looking forward to more!
Cheers!
Alexis

2009-09-12T03:14:15.000-07:00

i didnt see that no..:( and there was i thinking id read all your previous posts!! (goes off to find them...)

i dont watch it either, its one of those intros that was on all the time a few years ago...but that begining picture is famous and beautiful by Pierre Paul Rubens ( http://www.latribunedelart.com/Expositions_2004/Rubens_-_Adam_et_Eve.JPG) i cant wait to see what he thinks when hes old enough to interpret things properly :)

i think it interests me becuase there are so many spiritualists out there who write blogs and books in a ''how i found my gift'' way, i like reading about actual events and happenings...it feels...better.. when i read peoples books about how they got gifts etc its like ''yeaaahhh but WHAT do you see? what do they help you with?'' and so many adults who talk about it refer to books and things. not their inner thoughts.. and lucas' way of putting it as ''a little bit of god'' fills me with pure joy - if you havnt read them, you should read destiny of souls and journey of souls, realllly good refrence books, so long as your open minded, and i can tell you are :).

i didnt relate to lucas' experiences until they entry about not being able to watch cartoons etc? i feel that too... i can tell my head that its only acting, not real etc, but i feel real greif, anger, passion...im receptive to peoples emotions anyway, i only have to be stood 3 ft away and i can feel peoples aches and pains, or extreme emotions.. so..not sure. but im quite.. well, as a child i was quiet and 'melencholy' is the word my mum used to describe me...and im compassionate and selfless but iv kind of...learned not to be, becuase other people arent, and i get screwed over ten to non..so i dont think im crystal or indigo, but it could be shut down gifts..iv only been rreeaallyy 'awakening' for a year or so now..

so to sum up, i think i just enjoy reading happy unselfish writings about all this :) its optimistic. and also...im a REAL grouch when it comes to bad parenting, like..i get angry in the street.. and its SOOOO good to see someone understanding their child and connecting with them.. it gives me faith in humanity...even if there are only a few of us.

sorry, that was an essay!!
light and love,
liz

2009-09-11T06:46:36.000-07:00

Hi Liz ~ Thank you so very much for all of your encouragement with the blog and the book! Did you read a few posts back that I'm actually about 2/3 of the way through with writing the book? You don't know how much your words help me keep moving forward!

I don't watch Desperate Housewives, but I, too, thought of Eve and what the symbolism might mean. I think you're right on track that it's about knowledge and helping him understand his gifts. I also agree that it would be kind of freaky for him to see the image when he's older. LOL

I'm curious about your interest in the topic. Since you're not a mother, I'm assuming you're not relating to my writing on a mom to mom level. Do you relate to Lucas and his experiences? I'd love to know more.

Thanks again so much for letting me know you're out there reading. I so appreciate it!

Cheers!
Alexis

2009-09-10T18:02:22.000-07:00

hey, :) iv been reading your blog for a few months now and it FASCINATES me, all iv been able to find on indigo/crystal children before is what signs to look out for...which im skeptical about anyway as most of the main 'symptoms' are children feeling special or important, which smacks of a self important person calling themselves indigo. SO, anyway..its nice to be reading it from a ''its here, its happening'' kind of way. whilst reading this entry, i totally want u to write a book..your such an a awesome writer and your experiences are probably totally relatable...its made me broody! heh.

also, lucas seeing your nani, naked, with an apple, i automatically thought to the into of desperate houswives..where eve is stood naked, with an apple, tempting adam...and thus, my thoughts filtered down into knowledge...perhaps nani is just there to help lucas understand things you cant becuase you havnt experienced or seen or read about etc? hes probably not old enough right now, but if she suddenly turned up one day when hes older, naked and holding an apple it would probably make him feel wierd?

aaannyway :) yes, carry on your blogging, your becoming a parenting icon..to me at least...and i dont even have kids :).
