Encourage Your Children to Stay Connected to Source Energy

“If you encourage your children to stay connected to Source Energy, they will remain clear-minded; they will remain optimistic; they will remain enthusiastic. They will remain balanced; they will remain flexible. They will remain in a state of grace. They will remain in a state of Well-Being. And they will make wonderful choices." - Abraham (Esther and Jerry Hicks)

Of course, this principle doesn't only apply to children; it applies to everyone. If you stay in tune with your Source Energy, Inner Being, Inner Wisdom, God, Higher Power, Higher Consciousness, or whatever you may want to call it, your life is likely to take a different turn. You will begin to trust; you will begin to relax in the knowledge that all is well, and everything will be all right. Stress will evaporate from your daily life and will be replaced with a beautiful and constant serenity. 

So often you get caught up in the soap operas of your life, that you forget to reflect on your higher purpose down here. You are a spiritual being having a human experience, not the other way round. Ask yourself when you are so absorbed in a problem or dilemma that you forget to live:  "Will this matter ten years from now?" Young people think about life and love, working, studying and having fun. As you get older, you tend to enjoy yourself less, as you worry about stupid things, like not having enough money:"How am I going to pay the bills?" 

When you allow children to be themselves, you give them the most precious gift. You don't thwart their growth, but encourage them to be who they want to be (which might not always correspond with what you want them to be!). They know what's best for them; you don't need to tell them. As they grow up following their own heart and their own intuition, they will become well-adjusted adults, who feel loved and secure in the world. What else do they need? Very little. If they feel that way, the world will be open to them, and they will have a joyful experience in it.

This is our most important job: to realise that they are gifts from Heaven. To make them feel that they are wanted and loved; exactly as they are. As human beings, we all deserve love. Not because of our extraordinary deeds, but just because we are alive. Just because we exist. Love doesn't need to be earned. It is as vital and freely available as the oxygen we breathe.

"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
