At an early age we all remember who we are, where we come from and what we come to contribute; it is with the passage of time and the impact of the environment that we forget the essentials, to give way to a character in a certain place and time. That’s why contact with younger boys and girls awakens so much tenderness: it reminds us of who we are and where we come from.
Their explanations and vision of life are much purer and more loving than those of any adult who has been exposed to situations of pain, loss, effort, worry... In early childhood we generally still live preserved from judgments and experiences related to pain. As we get older the situations of displeasure help us grow and position ourselves, giving ourselves and the world an explanation of who we are and how we live, while little by little mostly we tend to feel less and think more.
Before we move away from the Sacred Knowledge that we all carry within, we express the Truth of the Heart and Being openly and without fear. It is therefore not uncommon, not infrequently, to hear in the conversations of small boys and girls wise phrases about life and love, in which the observer who pays attention to it may wonder if the child is aware of the depth of what he has just said or the value of his/her words, whether they are mature enough to make certain reflections, or whether all this is not part of a kind of childish imagination which we do not know very well whence it is born.
The truth is that when a boy or girl brings so much wisdom in generally very simple words and plain explanations, it is his complete Being who is expressing himself, therefore it does not matter either the biological age or the mental maturity of the person that we have in front of us, but that this person is in a state of such purity that his Being can express himself freely and unconditionally. The presence of the child, his ability to live in the here and now, does not generate any distortion or impediment to the expression of knowledge, as would the mind of an adult - so used to remember or plan-, or the emotions of one who has had many experiences of pain, loneliness, fear… and would stain the words of previous experiences, not being able to hear the message cleanly and therefore difficult to share it with someone else.
Depending on the return we get of our environment and the personal strategies that one has, we will learn our own way of living what we know and cannot ignore. Sometimes this strategy will be to shut up, others to ignore deep knowledge or relegate perceptions to imaginative capacity. Whatever position we take, we are moving away from the Truth that We Are.
One of the purposes of this article is to encourage you to value the jewels that boys and girls bring us, as well as to launch some ideas on how to support them, in order to allow them to continue developing harmoniously what they feel and experience, instead of moving away from who they are to act like who they are expected to be.
BASES OF LOOKING AT CHILDREN…
Respect. It is the consideration of the other as equal, it is a feeling of reverence for the simple fact of Being, since what we are is all we have. No matter the age or the virtues demonstrated, the Beauty of each one and his Knowledge are found purely in ones Existence. To respect someone is to recognize ourselves in him / her and to relate from love and openness. With this position we allow the other to express himself as he is / her self as she is, to be fully sovereign over himself and his experience / herself and her experience.
Trust. Understood as the recognition of the Truth of the other. When we trust someone, we offer them the opportunity to share their Pure Knowledge and Experiences. Trusting is not even validating, only being open to reality from the other. For a relationship of trust it is necessary the absence of judgment or control, it is necessary to position oneself in front of the other with an attitude of discovery, to live the information that shares with us as an opportunity to know and live ourselves and the environment, from a different place. It must be understood that Difference is not hierarchized into better or worse, richer or poorer, but simply Is. The Difference is looking at an element from another perspective, it is living Life from who we Are.
IN FRONT OF PHRASES OF BEAUTY, LOVE, FORGIVENESS AND OTHER HIGH VALUES...
To honor. From the word "honor", according to the dictionary, "a moral quality that leads someone to do nothing that may demean them in the esteem of others or in their own." That is, honoring someone leads us to treat them with the utmost purity and love possible. In front of high messages it is important to open up to the Truth that reminds us and admit it within us, first recognizing the value they have of themselves and their Loving Origin.
To feel. Every word of love in the form of words that comes to us from the little ones will be discovered if we bring the message to the heart, if we leave the mind that catalogs everything (ex: how beautiful the phrase he/she said, how much innocence,...) and we open ourselves to recognizing these certainties in ourselves. It is an act of courage, after experiences of pain, to open the heart to the purest feelings of Love and Goodness, for we again take the risk of suffering, but it also fills us with Nobility and Happiness to experience these high states of Compassion and Happiness.
To thank. If we have been able to recognize - inside and outside ourselves - the Truth of Love that has come in the form of words, it is Lawful to be grateful for this gift that we receive and that We are. Often these reflections and feelings free us from unnecessary and seemingly urgent daily burdens; the more space we give ourselves to feel the Love we are, the simpler and lighter the daily life will become. Love, Forgiveness and Peace will be part of our daily lives with every act of generosity and gratitude that we utter internally or externally.
IN FRONT OF WHAT A CHILD SAYS HE/SHE SEES AND WE DO NOT SEE, HEAR AND WE DO NOT HEAR…
Calm. As adults it is very important, as much as possible, to keep calm in front of new situations for both us and the children, to help them sustain what they are experiencing. To stay calm, it’s not about denying what we feel or saying things that aren’t really true (e.g., “nothing happens” when we recognize that something is happening and we feel scared or overwhelmed). It can help us to take three deep breaths and encourage children to join us with the practise, listen to quiet music or hug us. Also being able to talk about what the child is experiencing, even if we don’t see it, explaining if it is the case that to us it is new, but that being new does not necessarily mean bad or repulsive. Honesty is key to support people with extrasensory perceptions, as their sensitivity is so high that the weight of words is not enough to hide what adults really think or feel about what the child is contributing.
Love. In any situation in which we do not know how to respond, connecting with the Love we feel for sons, daughters or children we are supporting generates an energetic dynamic of protection and security, helps us to raise vibration and sustain the which is occurring around us and inside. Love is medicine.
