			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>A mother shared this story with me.  One day when her son was 4 years old he stood up and announced.  “Mom, in the sky there is a cloud and in that cloud is heaven and in heaven is God and Jesus and in God and Jesus is a heart and in that heart is everyone.” </h3>
<h3>She was not taking her children to church <span style="color:#000000;">nor</span> was she reading them Bible stories.  She was so shocked that she had no idea what to say but she did know that he was speaking the truth.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mayans have prophesied the arrival of children who would be born with all of the chakras awakenened and enlivened.  When I met with Elder Hunbatz Men in the land of the Maya, he shared with me that the prophecy of the arrival of the children is carved into the Mayan pyramids and is symbolized by the heads of children with the body of a serpent, symbolizing the kundalini in the Mayan the term interestingly enough is kuthalini energy rising from the base of the spine to open the energy centres in the body.  The indigenous spiritual traditions as well as the Eastern traditions and the esoteric Western traditions have always acknowledged the energy centres of the body and have agreed on the function of the energy centres as well as the concept that at certain times in life the kundalini energy rises from the base of the spine opening up the various energy centres and blasting through the blocks if the energy has in fact been blocked. At any point in time your energy centres may be blocked or unbalanced etc. In  intuitive,  psychic or multidimensional ways of  learning and knowing, it is often the third eye centre in the middle of the forehead and the crown chakra centre that are focused upon.  However it is essential that all of the chakras open and balanced for the information and knowing to be heart-centred, grounded and able to be spoken about without the involvement of the ego or mere survival instinct.  </p>
<p> Isaiah prophiesed the arrival of the children when he said, “A little child shall lead them.”   Christ spoke of the qualities that enable them to enter the kingdom of heaven.  </p>
<p> Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?</p>
<p>“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,</p>
<p>“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.</p>
<p>“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.</p>
<p>God has sent children with expanded consciousness to the planet.  They will help expand our consciousness to shift into a new world where the spiritual  and spirituality as the core of our existence will be acknowledged rather than denied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a culture and as a society we need to acknowledge and be aware that life has the capacity for holding, both the light and perhaps even more importantly the shadow. When the shadow is not acknowledged it comes out to bite us. The capacity for joy and happiness can only be increased by embracing the pain and healing the source of it. Illness and pain are indicators of the necessity to change beliefs, attitudes and as a result behaviour. All illness and pain has the capacity to point us in the direction of healing on all levels, spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. There is nothing that calls us more to the examination of our lives than illness, pain and suffering in our children. Parents will go to vast lengths to advance the health and well-being of their children (see Horseboy under Worthwhile Resources and Links &#8211; Autism)  - things that they wouldn’t even dream of doing for themselves. Your children are your call to expand your own soul horizons as a human and divine being. I encourage each and every one of you reading this book to dig deeper into your pains and to truly heal them without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. If you are on drugs for depression,  find a qualified medical professional committed to helping you to get off of them safely.   If you want to read more about the reasons why you should do this refer to <a href="http://www.breggin.com">www.breggin.com</a>  Do your best without drugs to dig into your anger and the pain of your life and find out what treasures they hold for you. Then you will be healed and never have to experience that pain again. If you feel that you have to use them be conscious of only using these drugs as a short-term bridge. If adults do this then perhaps our children will not have to reflect and magnify our pain as well as their own, through their behaviour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As humans, each of us has been emotionally wounded in some part of our lives or in our past lives.  The wounds are both the source of fear and suffering.   Inner (spiritual and emotional) work is the salve to  heal the emotional wounds.  We will not be able to prevent depression drug, alcohol abuse and suicide among young people until we acknowledge these facts and support them to live their spiritual path and to heal.    Depression,  sex, drug and alcohol abuse and suicide are symptoms and indicators a of deep pain that alarmingly is increasing exponentially not only through our child and youth population but also in adults.  Adults are seen as role models for children and youth for any behaviours including taking drugs and alcohol.   All of these substances taken in high enough dose obviously change behaviour.  The number of children being given methamphetamines for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is an indicator of the crisis.   There are alternatives for healing and solutions if we  truly seek to understand  both the simplicity and complexity of children and the gifts including psychic gifts they bring.  Denying the children&#8217;s psychic and intuitive gifts will continue to amplify the crisis. </p>
<p>In addition, when your gifts are not acknowledged, when no one is acknowledging who you are or supporting you to develop yourself - of course you are going to be depressed!!!   Until such time as the wounding is acknowledged and healed, there will not be true, authentic evolution or progress for the child.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were three profound moments in the expansion of my work : The first happened in 2000 while watching the video:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-140" title="throughtheeyes" src="http://spiritofchildren.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/throughtheeyes.jpg?w=280&#038;h=280" alt="throughtheeyes" width="280" height="280" /></p>
<p> Through the Eyes of a Child by Drunvalo Melchizdek in which an 18 year old Mexican woman does psychic readings on photos handed to her by members of the audience. (see Resources and Links Section &#8211; for youtube link).  It was as though a light went on inside me and activated the start of the working with my own psychic, intuitive and healing abilities as well as helping people of all ages including children and youth discover and develop their abilities.  <span>.</span></p>
<p> The other happened in 2004 when I watched the movie The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis, a psychologist  and   about a little boy Cole Sear (played by Haley Joel Osment who was 11 and who was nominated for an Oscar for his role), are at the center of the movie.   At one point in the movie after Cole has shared his secret that he sees dead people with the psychologist, he says in desperation, “You do believe me, don’t you?  If you don’t believe me, how can you help me?”  As I watched this movie at the close of 2004, 4 years after I started to work with children, many who have the gifts of seeing dead people and animals as well as many other gifts, I realized how important this work is.  My commitment to getting the teachings and messages of the children and youth into the consciousness of the mainstream population deepened.  </p>
<p> There are many, many children who can see beyond our three dimensional reality into other dimensions.   They can be frightened of what they of they see.  They continue to live in fear because like Cole they fear that adults wouldn’t believe them.  Many adults would not because they have not opened themselves to the ability to perceive these other realities or they simply lack the gifts for doing so.  </p>
<p>The result of the lack of acknowledgement of other realities and dimensions and of the lack of affirmation of children and youth’s psychic, intuitive and healing gifts can result in clinical diagnoses of disorders such as depression, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, autism, Asperger’s  etc.  Children, youth and adults alike become depressed and life loses meaning when we don’t recognize our own gifts and when others don’t recognize the gifts we have. </p>
<p> While some may be correctly diagnosed, not all are.   However we are not being inquisitive enough and thorough enough as scientists, parents, educators and medical professionals in  investigating the gifts that children bring when they are challenged regarding learning in traditional ways.  There are many other ways to learn, absorb and communicate information than just the spoken and written word that has been the backbone of society’s learning, communication and educational structures.  We have  either not yet addressed or barely addressed these ways of learning in our mainstream systems including families, communities, education, health and other. </p>
<p> Relatively recent developments in understanding that children and adults can be audio, visual, spatial and kinaesthetic learners is one of the first and a baby step in understanding that there are multidimensional ways of knowing and perceiving that include psychic and intuitive abilities.  To deny or not to acknowledge these is to be in the shadow of our own ignorance.  What is in the shadow always comes out to bite us.  The epidemic of so-called disorders are that shadow biting us and calling us to acknowledge the other non-material dimensions of life.  The epidemic of placing children and youth on drugs for so-called disorders to &#8220;normalize&#8221; them is also something that I believe we will look back upon as consciousness evolves and like other actions that seemed right at the time to the mainstream eg. placing native children in residential schools &#8211; we will come to deeply regret our actions &#8211; that were guided by ignorance rather than knowledge and wisdom.</p>
<p>The third profound moment came when the children came to me in a dream and said, &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to be drugged anymore and we need an adult voice to speak for us.&#8221;  I promised them that I would bring awareness to their situation and their needs in service of Spirit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Night I Saw the Light, Last Night I Saw An Angel……</p>
<p>In 1994 on the night of my 35<sup>th</sup> birthday I had a mystical dream that signaled a profound reawakening of my consciousness and connection to Spirit.  In that dream, I dreamed that I was light.  I was both inside the Light and outside the Light.  I was flowing with the Light.  After that evening I became conscious of God speaking to me in voice.  I have now followed that voice for over a 15 years and it has led me on an ongoing epic journey of the Spirit. </p>
<p> I changed careers and fields from being a scientist and wildlife biologist to being a management consultant and speaker on spirituality at work.    I also received guidance to do a global peace Summit called The 2001 Summit on Spirituality and Sustainability which happened in Vancouver Canada from September 15-22, 2001, just after the tragic events of September 11, 2001 in New York City.  </p>
<p>We never know where the spiral of life will take us.  Just when you think you are growing up the spiral of life takes you back to your baby or childhood.  Just after the mystical dream of Light that I had in 1994, my cousin recalled the night when I was 3 years old and I came down the stairs in the morning and said, “Last night I saw an angel.” They said to me, “What did the angel look like and what did you do?”  I said, “The angel was this big (indicating with my hands about a foot tall).  I looked at the angel and then I went to sleep. </p>
<p>When I was a baby I never slept or so it seemed to my mother.  I know that was the time when the angels taught me about the crystals and healing.  For God has created each and every person with a destiny, sacred visions and psychic, intuitive and healing gifts to uncover.  I was born as a “healer” and a “peacemaker” even though for many, many years I would not know this.   As a child I had a deep love of nature and sent petitions to Parliament to “Save the baby seals”.   My first consciousness about healing the Earth came as a child.  I became an environmentalist after reading Rachel Carson’s book, “Silent Spring” and was doing volunteer work at Pollution Probe at the University of Toronto by the time I was 12.  </p>
<p> I became a wildlife biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service in the federal government of Canada.  During this time, I opened again to my own spiritual journey and that opening resulted in the mystical experience I had at the age of 35 that changed my life forever.    I dreamed that I was Light and that I was both inside and outside the Light.   Although I had followed my heart and intuition all of my life, I began to hear the voice of God clearly speaking to me – telling me where to go, what to do and who to speak to.  For a decade now I have learned how to follow instructions, trusting and surrendering to this small voice within that over the years got louder and louder. </p>
<p>Mystical and practical experiences as a child, youth and as an adult prepared me for the recent expansion of work focusing on helping others with the development and integration of their spiritual energy in all aspects of their lives.  From working with CEOs, executives and employees in organizations on spirituality at work for the last decade as described in the book , (<em>The Inspired Organization:  Spirituality and Energy at Work</em>,  see <a href="http://www.spiritatwork.wordpress.com">www.spiritualityatwork.wordpress.com</a>),  my work expanded to working with the spiritual wisdom of children, youth and their families on the development of psychic, intuitive and healing abilities within the context of their personal spiritual journeys.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are reading this blog then perhaps Spirit has already called you to work with<br />
the spiritual wisdom of children and youth (sometimes called indigo children, crystal children, rainbow children) .   Are you listening and responding to this call?    What are you here to do?   If you are an adult, this blog is about you as much as it is about children and youth.  Everyone including adults have psychic, intuitive and healing abilities.</p>
<p>Has the child inside of you who possesses all-knowing wisdom or who has the ability to heal or perceive things in other dimensions been acknowledged and nurtured throughout the years?  Has the child that knows these things been allowed to grow and expand into adulthood with the same kind of openness, knowledge and wisdom?   Has your knowing child brought the wisdom and truth that you know to bear in your life? If not, the stories of Spirit and truth that the children and youth are sharing with adults calls us to bring this forth.</p>
<p>If you are a child or youth reading this book then maybe you will find some comfort and affirmation (ask your parents what that means, if you don’t know) when you read the stories written by other children and youth who are like you.</p>
<p> It is a blessing to be alive at this time.  It is even more of a blessing to be alive and in the process of your own and our global continually awakening consciousness.  This book is one key for the inward and outward spiral of human evolution and consciousness towards global peace.  I am blessed to work and play with the children youth and their families in Spirit.  Through their kind agreement am privileged to share our stories with you. Whether you are a parent, an educator, a health professional, a mentor or a child or youth, I hope that sharing these stories and experiences will touch or help you in your spiritual journey.<span id="_marker"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many children and youth now on the planet with highly developed spiritual knowledge of love, compassion and wisdom as well as highly developed psychic, intuitive and healing gifts.   In the face of our current civil and international  environmental and social crises -and where war is still considered to be an acceptable solution for disagreements, these children  have arrived on the planet to call us into alignment with the spiritual laws and to uncover honesty and truth.</p>
<p>Children have always been gifted in various ways. However children are now being born in numbers who have spiritual wisdom including psychic, intuitive and healing abilities. Some psychologists have called them the indigo children, crystal and rainbow children and say they have been arriving on this planet since the 1980s. They have grown up with computers in their homes. Their access to the technology both at home and in school has accelerated their pace of learning as well as their ability to process information. Some have grown up with parents who have themselves been conscious of spirituality, health and wellness. Thus the children bring both an environmental and social  knowledge  and consciousness unprecedented on the planet. </p>
<p>The evolution of humanity is continuing in accessing and using parts of the brain that have not been stimulated or used before. Because of this, the new children have psychic abilities that previous generations knew possible but only wrote about in science fiction. The new openings and functioning of these aspects of the brain pass as a wave to the unborn so that evolutionarily we as a species never go back.</p>
<p>There are new children arriving on the planet in the moment you are reading this who will continue to shake us up with their behaviour first of all and secondly with the discovery of what wisdom, gifts, skills and abilities that they bring. Many are being diagnosed with ADD, ADHD and autism. What many of them are not conscious of - is that they have highly developed psychic and intuitive gifts and abilities.  They perceive and communicate in now almost forgotten traditional ways using their psychic abilities (included in this is telepathic communication).  All children are highly gifted in some area and as parents, mentors, educators, health professionals, it is incumbent upon us to be the support that each and every child needs to discover and manifest the gifts of their soul and spirit and their full potential.</p>
<p><span>The following is an 8 Min. Documentary that I came across on youtube that gives an interesting perspective on not only the spiritual gifts of children but of all people.</span><span> </span></p>
