Is your child reacting to the energy around him/her?
by Ronnee Ruselle
Psychic abilities are as common in children as in parents and perhaps even more-so as we tend to lose focus on them as we grow up and focus more on the physical world around us. All children are sensitive, but some are even more sensitive to the energy around them than others. Being able to detect the problem can go a long way to keeping your child happy and healthy.
What to look for:
Being extremely intuitive, children will pick up very quickly on the moods and energy of the people and the places around them. It can make them suddenly high strung, angry, excitable or pretty much any emotion you can think of. Once you've eliminated the usual reasons such as health, tiredness, etc. if you are at a loss as to what's happening, check out who is around you and consider whether the child may be reacting to a particular person or whether the area they are in has been aired, open to the light and cleansed recently. It could be that they are reacting to someone else's attitude or they could be reacting to energy build up in the home.
Possible effects of this situation:
At the very least, the child could become high-strung and difficult to deal with. This is an extremely difficult situation for children to deal with because they won't know what's causing their pain or irritation. They'll only know how they feel. Sometimes just having a room full of people for a period of time can have this effect as the energy builds up in a room. The child can develop a low self-esteem particularly as they will notice the frowns and looks by the other adults in the room who have no real idea of what's happening. The child will most likely grow up believing that he/she is inadequate and a bad person and as with any self esteem issues, they can affect learning and behaviour patterns in children.
What to do about it:
Remove the child from the person or location that may be causing their reaction. Do what you know will soothe them such as relaxing music, a warm bath, burning white sage incense or playing with them momentarily away from the area that caused the problem until it has been cleansed. If it's a visitor causing the problem, you may be able to wait until they leave or find a reason to shorten the visit. It's important that you lower the number of visits that person makes if the child reacts in the same way with each visit or to find a way to keep some distance between the visitor and the child.
If it's a person who lives with you, then it may be possible to discuss the matter with them and hopefully they will be able to deal with whatever is making them annoyed. Another option is to cleanse the home and fight the negative energy as it enters the home. (See here for more information on cleansing the home.)
Please ensure that you check other possible causes. Your child could be reacting to a person due to some treatment they have received such as abuse or even illness or a problem they are having and you do not want to misread the signs. But should you find that these have been addressed, then it's likely the child is indeed reacting to energy. Also, trust your instincts on this. Many parents suspect their child's psychic abilities and kids can be much more in tune than adults, so the effects can be even stronger.
