Allow Your Children to Be!

This message came to me on 2/2/99 and I wanted to share it today…

“Now what I would like to speak to you about is to allow your children to BE. To teach them, and this isn’t just your children, but all children, to BE. They have so much inner wisdom, but they’re not given the chance to use it. They’re always being told to do this, to do that, they’re being shuffled here, and shuffled there. They’re not given adequate time for reflections, listening within. We urge you to slow down, and bring your children to your side, sit in the quiet with them, breath with them, embrace them, just sit in the quiet. Listen to the birds, listen to beautiful music. It doesn’t have to be long, but what is required is to synchronize your breathing. This is a very powerful thing to do, when you sit and read to your children, especially at bedtime. You’re able to breathe at the same rate, your breathing is in harmony. You can sit in the quiet when a child is sad, angry, and disappointed and just breath, your breathing will soon be in harmony. The problem right now is that so many of you are in a hurry, you’re not valuing the simple life empowering aspects of your day. If you can’t see the results, if you can’t hold it in your hand, then it isn’t of value, but you will see great results if you try this. Read to your children. Sit down, don’t be in such a rush, nothing is as important than sitting with the children, all else can wait. When they are older make a pot of tea and sit at the table, make time for quiet activities with your children.

Chances are your children are already guiding you in this department. You may want to fill them up with activities but they just keep saying no, you may think they have no interests, but they’re wanting you to come home again. BE quiet, BE home, BE quiet, BE in the rhythm with the day, with nature, with life. They don’t need to fill their days up with activities, they’re happy. WE ARE COMPLETE”
