I believe that humanity is in the process of remembering our divine nature. And I believe that our children are helping us to remember. Children are born remembering. I believe that sensitive children, particularly children who are on the autistic spectrum, I believe that they not only remember, but are in direct connection with the divine. Some of them are more connected with the spirit world than with our physical world. This is why some of them are non-verbal. Our sensitive children have come as our teachers. On a soul level, many of them are in fact spiritual teachers.
The Horse Boy: A Father’s Quest to Heal is Son is a fascinating true account of a family in search of healing for their autistic son, Rowan. It details the family’s horseback journey through Mongolia and their encounters with Mongolian shamans.
“‘[The shaman] also said – and two others said this too — that he thinks Rowan will maybe be a shaman.’”
This was interesting. Were shamans sometimes adult autists? I though of Temple Grandin’s point, that autists could be connectors through the “normal” human world and the animal world, or the world of science and music. Were autists, in traditional societies, sometimes also connectors to the spirit world? I thought of Besa and some of the other healers I’d met, all of whom were odd, spoke in riddles, were “away with the fairies,” as the British put it. That wasn’t so far from Rowan. Although it was interesting how all of them had integral roles in their communities rather than being marginalized. (p. 110)
I very much resonate with this. As I mentioned in my last post, shamanic healers can act as bridges between the spirit world and the physical world. So can our sensitive children. For those children who are more in tune with the spirit world, I believe that shamanic healing can help clear their energetic bodies so that they can be more comfortable in their physical bodies. This can help them to be more grounded in their physical bodies, and be more at ease in their physical bodies. I know that shamanic healing (as well as Heilkunst homeopathy), helped to clear my son’s etheric body, so that he could become more comfortable in his physical body. As one’s luminous (light) body is cleared and healed, one’s physical body is also healed.
Our sensitive children’s luminous bodies can need clearing because our children’s luminous bodies are open and they tend to act like “vacuum cleaners” on a spiritual level. They tend to be etherically open and can attract all sorts of energy into their energy bodies. Their etheric systems can then become overwhelmed and on a physical level, they can have a lot of anxiety in their systems.
Further to this, our sensitive children can act as healers for the whole family. On an energetic level, they are trying to resolve all of the karmic patterns of the family. This is why sensitive children can so easily be and are often overwhelmed. Their energetic bodies are working overtime, trying to clean up the entire world around them.
This is also why is it often helpful for parents to seek their own healing as well. Since family members are all connected, as one shifts and heals, they all shift and heal.
Janice, this is wonderful. I love the work you are doing here. This idea that sensitive children may be working through karma for the entire family so resonates for me. “Since family members are all connected, as one shifts and heals, they all shift and heal.” – this is wonderful. So glad to have met you here online! – Lisa
Thanks for your comment, Lisa. I very much appreciate the work that you are doing. It’s nice that my work also resonates with you as well! After I work through your sacral chakra meditation, I plan on sharing it with my readers. I feel that it’s important work to share.
Many blessings,
Janice
