Raising a starseed

Raising a star seed is not easy. They often have ADHD symptoms, sleep issues and tempers. Thankfully these personality traits are paired with an overwhelming enthusiasm of life, endless joy and a pure open heart.

Recently my 4 year old starseed started a new frustrating habit. She would ask for something over and over again, usually when the request could not possibly be filled. We were driving in the car when she asked for a marker. I didn't have one to give her and told her no. She then held out her hand and said the word "marker" about 10 times. This is enough to drive even the most patient parent nuts. She was so frustrated, to the point of tears when she looked at me and said "Why won't it work?". That's when it dawned on me: this is a 5th dimensional child living in a 3rd dimensional world.

Starseeds, especially when they are young, spend a lot of time astral projecting while they sleep. These children vibrate so high that their little bodies cannot contain them. In the astral plane their larger than life spirits can swim with the dolphins, climb a pyramid and create on command. In the astral plane my little one can open her hand, demand a marker and it appears. Can you imagine how frustrating it must be to return to this world? I believe many temper tantrums are caused by this discrepancy in realities. How heavy and draining this 3rd dimensional world must be to their young bodies and spirits. While their life purpose is to help raise the planet and her people's vibration to a co-creation 5D realm, they must live in this one for a while. We need to help them adjust by being patient and understanding.

I looked at my little one with a whole new understanding and asked her if in her dreams she can say "Marker" and it appears, she said yes and exclaimed "The marker must not like me!". I told her how cool it was that she could do that and that hopefully one day it will work in this world as well.  She began to understand how the worlds differ and her habit of asking for something over and over has ended. She also now knows that I understand to some degree and is sharing more of her memories of astral travel with me.

Sometimes I hear her playing,  pretending that she can command the universe and bend it to her wishes. I have no doubt that one day she will...

Helping Children with Night Terrors

Has your child ever woken up in the middle of the night screaming, inconsolable, incoherent, and seemingly still asleep? The typical name for this is called “Night Terrors”.  They are a real problem for many parents who have no idea how to help their child.

Night Terrors are much more frightening than an average bad dream. Symptoms of a night terror can range from mild to extreme.

·         Screaming, crying, even moaning – not easily consoled

·         Unable to communicate clearly. (All one of mine would say is OW!)

·         Not wanting to be touched – even acting as if every touch hurts them.

·         Getting out of bed, like sleepwalking but more in an attempt to find a safe space. Going under the bed or into a corner in a protective stance.

·         Hitting anyone who tries to help them.

·         Hitting their selves in frustration.

·         Eyes opened wide and glassy (but not really seeing) or completely closed as if still asleep.

Theories as to the cause of Night Terrors vary greatly. Some believe that there is a direct connection with what is happening in the child’s world at that moment.  Have there been big changes in the little one’s life? Is there turmoil at home, daycare, or school? Others believe that Night Terrors are caused by remembrance of past life events; that the child is remembering traumatic events that took place in a previous lifetime. Since young children are still new on the earth plane they have soul memories that their subconscious is still processing. Another theory is that during the night the soul of the child leaves the body (astral projection) to learn and explore other places.  Children born during this time often have a higher vibrational level and need to leave their bodies to stretch and exercise, as it is hard for their little body to hold such a large vibrational field.  

It is believed that while a child is dreaming, reliving a past event, or traveling, they are woken too early. Something has caused them to awaken before they are ready to come back into the present, fully conscious and aware. Some believe that the child’s soul is forced back into the body too quickly which is painful and disorienting. 

I have experienced Night Terrors with two of my children. Here is what I found helped to lessen the symptoms and even lengthen the time in between episodes:

1.       Investigate if something could be waking your child. Are they hot or cold? Do you have a pet that could be jumping on their bed, startling them?  Record the time when the incident occurs. If you find a pattern, is there a mechanical event happening in the house that could cause the child to awaken? (water heater or softener making noise etc.)

2.       Make sure your child is drinking enough water. Dehydration can make all the symptoms worse.

3.       Don’t react to your child’s Night Terror with frustration or alarm. This can be hard when your sleep has been disrupted and you feel helpless.

4.       Follow your child’s cues. If they don’t want to be touched,  don’t touch them unless you need to restrain them from hurting themselves. Likewise, if your child wants to get out of bed, let them. Moving around often helps the child “wake” sooner.  Keep the child safe, but don’t try to manipulate the situation.

5.       Lastly, and the most important thing that helps me is to keep a calm voice and repeat to the child:

“You are safe, in this time, in this place. You are safe. You are ok. You are here with me.” 

I have sat on the floor and repeated this until I see recognition in their eyes and they cometo me for the physical comfort to get back to sleep.  I know that it sounds goofy, but it has helped with both my children.  Whether their Night Terrors are from current things, past life events, or from astral travel, repeating the above phrase brings her awareness back to me so that I can help.

I hope these tips help and I would love to receive your feedback.  I also recommend talking to your doctor and even videotaping an incidence, so that the doctor can see what you are dealing with. Until a person has experienced this first hand, they don’t really understand how frightening this can be.
