Are You The Mom of A Spiritually Gifted Child? by Alison Elsberry, OTR/L
As our world continues to change and transform, have you ever thought to ask yourself a simple question: “Are there special souls sent here to help us through these ever-changing times?” Well, the answer is YES! And your child may be one of those very special beings here to share an important message. How Do You Know If Your Child Is Spiritually Gifted? Much discussion has gained attention in the past 5-10 years about Indigo, Rainbow and Crystal Children. These are soul groups with particular gifts and energies for helping our world be a more peaceful place to live. In recent years, the terms highly sensitive or energetically sensitive kids has also been used to describe these special children. The term “spiritually gifted” supports seeing your child as a true gift from Spirit. They are blessed with special gifts meant to be expressed by embracing their divine mission along their life path.
Simply acknowledging your child for the blessed being they are is such an important first step in understanding the divine nature of your child’s gifts. When your child feels seen, it gives them a deep sense of acceptance. They feel much safer to express themselves because they are supported in their truth. And your support empowers their divine essence. Your ability to respond with love and compassion is what your child craves most. They want you to show up and be present in the moment. So they feel supported by your guiding light. This gives both of you the freedom to be who you came here to be. You don’t have to know all the answers or try to figure everything out! So let go of your expectations. Set down your worries and fears. Take a breath. Open your heart. Allow your light to shine, like sunlight in a garden. And watch the magic happen… And it’s OK to feel like a mess of a Mom along the way. It’s all part of your journey in becoming graceful support for you and your child.
