Teaching children universal oneness starts with the family

Teaching people that we are all connected, we are all one is not an easy task. Many people are so mired in their own little worlds, their own problems, their own views that they are unable to see that what affects one effects all. How do we teach our children that we are all connected in the face of a world programming your child to think differently? It starts with you and the family. Families are the microcosm of the universe. If we teach the children that what one in the family experiences, they too experience and are affected by it.

 Discuss with your children the following scenarios:

 If one child breaks his leg, all are affected. The child might not be able to do his chores for a time and others have to pick up the slack. The child might be in pain and cranky. How does that affect others? What about when the child goes to school? How are his classmates affected? The teacher?

 What if one child gets in trouble for bad behavior? How does that affect the family? The anger and tension it creates has a way of creeping over to every family member. Even the dog feels the change in the energy. Children have to realize that their decisions have consequences not only for them but for others as well.

 What if a parent loses a job? Or their work requires the family to move? What if a family member becomes seriously ill? Ask your children examples of how something someone else has done has had an impact on their life. By getting their input it becomes more of a discussion and less of a lecture.

 I find teaching this concept to be daunting especially when trying to reach teenagers who have been taught by society that it is ok to be selfish, to care only for the moment. Isn't that what the phrase YOLO is all about? It doesn't matter what you do as long as it feels good. You only live once right? Consequences be damned. My only advice is to just keep trying. Eventually they will get it.

 Once children can grasp that what happens to one in the family, happens to all, it is not a huge step to take their perceptions to a grander level. Start with examples of things in their school, then examples in the state, country, and globally. Use examples to make them really think. How does the decimation of the rain forest affect them? Oil spills? Wars? Get them thinking about something other than their version of reality. This is how you raise a conscious child in a world designed to make them selfish and ego centered.

Help your family raise thier vibration

Many of us are working on upgrading our vibrations. The higher we vibrate, the better we feel, the more love and joy we experience, and our world view changes. You may be changing your thought patterns, meditating, and connecting to source, but what about your family members? While ascension is a personal journey that has to be taken only when the soul is ready, you can help your loved ones raise their vibration some too.

If you have teenagers like I do, you might be getting rolled eyes or evasion when you try to discuss esoteric principles with them.  Here is an activity that can help open dialog among the family and can be done by everyone regardless of age.

Pick a time to conduct this activity, anytime when you are all together (or as many as you can get at one time), it can be in the car on the way to school or at the table during dinner. Don’t get hung up on ceremony or the message will get lost. 

Have each member of the family tell the following:

·         One thing they are grateful for.

 It can be anything “I’m grateful I found a matching pair of socks fast today” BUT they cannot say the same thing twice in a row.

·         One thing they did to be nice to another person or the earth.

It can be anything “I gave someone a piece of gum” to “I recycled today”. If a family member is having a hard time thinking of something, ask the others if that person had done something nice that they just can’t remember.

The family may grump and groan, but reminding them to hold a place in their heart to be grateful will help them to raise their vibration. Having them focus on the importance of doing good things for other people and the earth will help them develop a lifelong love of helping others, especially when they realize how good it feels.

Namaste

 

Meet Your Spirit Guide.

Yesterday was a full moon with an Eclipse. The energies were high and their was a joy in the air. I saw a report that yesterday was the first day in recorded history that there was no violent crime in New York City. The shift is happening. More people are waking up and starting to realize what is important in life. It's all very exciting.

I did a meditation to contact my spirit guide. I've done these before, but have not really gotten anywhere. The energies were so high, I thought I would try it again. In the meditation, I went into a field by a huge tree and asked my spirit guide to appear. A tall, beautiful Native American man appeared. My heart leaped, I rushed to him, hugged him, and held his face between my hands. I can't accuretly describe the joy that I felt seeing him again. It was a reunion with a long lost friend. His name is Standing Bear. I think he was given that name because of his huge size. He was tall and broad.  We sat under the big tree. I was curled up in between his legs like old friends cuddling. I asked him a few questions and it was as if he answered before I could even finish a sentence.

"Will I be a great Healer?"  

"Yes, You already are, just believe."
 

"Will there be an event like 3 days of darkeness to wake people up?"

 "No, it's not going to be that easy." He says with an easy smile. "There is still much work to do."
 

All to soon it was over. I know that I will be contacting him again and hope that this is the beginning of a good relationship. Hopefully I will get to the point where I can contact him & hear him without meditation. 

Here is the link to a Youtube guided meditation that I used to help connect with my spirit guide. I hope it brings you much success too.

Churches need to teach connection to source

I went to church on Sunday. It was the first time in many years. As a recovering Catholic, I am gun shy to say the least. We decided to go to a non-denominational Christian church. The service was cute, small, and had a decent feel to it. . After communion, they sang one verse of a song about 20 times. The verse was about people having complete love for God. The congregation really got into it and each repeat was sung with more feeling. After the fifth repeat I felt the energy lifting to God in celebration. I could see the golden rays of energy coming down as the connection to source was opened. Feeling it in a group setting was incredible and it brought tears to my eyes. The goosebumps raised as I felt Grace wash over me. It was incredible and powerful...

Then church was over and we stumbled out into the sun. It hit me... how incredibly sad. For many people that would be their only peak at the divine they would have until they went to church again. I would wager that most of the congregation does not meditate or participate in energy work of any kind. Often churches lump alternative healing into a group that is taboo, like psychics. (the fact that the bible talks about Prophets, but demonizes psychics drives me nuts, but that is another topic) How sad that the masses are not taught how to access the source on their own. People are often taught from an early age that they have to GO to church or through a priest to feel God's love. What people should be taught is that they have a direct link to God if they would just be still and open themselves to it.  I'm not saying that going to church is pointless. It's a great way to join with community and share a love for your fellow man and God, but it shouldn't be their only link.

The experience made me realize how grateful I am that my unconventional life path has lead me to strive to be connected with God at all times. It also made me realize that I need to make sure that my children know how to access the source on their own. I don't want them to feel that they have to go through something or someone to feel what is theirs by divine right.
