In the current times of remembrance and change, our children are here to lead the way. As the dynamics between leaders and their populations change on the global stage - this can also be intensely mirrored in the changes we need to make in our homes and the way we parent and relate with our children. Children are the most contemporary, healing and necessary expression of source that we all need for this planet's evolution. Their love for us is real and it is right.

Hello,

In this meditation we'll be having a look at how our children are our teachers.

Now if you're a parent or a guardian yourself,

Or if you're a teacher or work with young people,

Or if you're just interested in the evolution of the planet in general,

Let's have a look at our children,

The children of this world.

I once thought that it was my job to raise a child,

But as a parent I guess I'm coming to the realization that all I'm really doing is teaching this soul how to drive the little spacesuit that we all wear our bodies,

And in this way I'm more of a driving instructor and some sort of grand life guide.

It's hard work being here in the physical,

And on some level as souls as we are it is alien for us all.

But for whatever reason we've chosen to be here to learn how to love where everything is opposite,

Everything's a bit topsy-turvy,

And we have to find that meaning oh so often in ourselves.

So as we nurture those instincts in our children,

Of course we feel that flowing back up into us.

As we seek to be aware of their behavior and witness their beauty,

They naturally show us how to do the same within ourselves,

And when it comes to conflict,

Nine times out of ten,

Whether it's deemed bad behavior or not on the child's part,

It's reflecting something to the adult that is painful,

That is painful,

That is asking to be healed.

To where you are now lying or sitting down,

Just closing your eyes,

Breathing in,

Breathing in,

And breathing out.

Feeling the floor,

The surface beneath you push up against you,

And with every breath out just imagine that you're coming back down,

Back with it,

Dropping down any chatter that you have in the front of your head,

Through your head,

Through your neck,

Into the middle of your chest.

And as you see and feel yourself just breathing in,

Breathing out,

Just allow yourself to feel as if you're melting into the moment,

Like your skin's just softening,

And feeling as if you're melting into the space around you,

And in your own way just imagining your children,

The children in your life,

And see from the middle of your chest kind of waves,

Flowing out into the middle of their chest,

Seeing that dance,

That movement,

That ebb and flow,

If you're being resonating and loving there,

No matter what you think of yourself as a parent,

Just take a couple of minutes to sink into feeling that vibration,

And the stability it brings,

Let it open up,

And let your heart and chest open,

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

So so so so so so so so so so so then still breathing in breathing out so just gently touching base,

Calling in that kind of soul part of you,

That's come into this body,

Into this moment in time,

Feeling those waves flow from your chest,

To your children's,

Or the children and the next generation of the world,

And feel their soul presence,

Your children's light,

Just feel it flow out from their chests through space and time,

Into yours,

Feel how much they love you,

See and remember their eyes when they give you that look,

Right to the core of you and love you all the more for it,

Breathing in and breathing out as you feel that wave,

Lick and pulse into your entire being,

Any block,

Any points of tension,

Any parts of you that want to hold fast,

And not let that love it,

Just like water in the rising tide,

Just let it soak all around those parts and crash and rinse all around,

Tight just let it soak all around those parts and crash and rinse all among you,

Just breathing in,

Breathing out,

So and just gently bringing your awareness to that kind of loop between you and your children from your heart to theirs,

And back again,

And feeling how and just recognizing the beauty that as they expand,

So do you,

In your own way just for a couple of minutes,

Bask in that golden light and awareness and peace,

That your children's love for you has brought is bringing,

And that will sing on ringing into the future,

Breathing in,

Breathing out,

So so so so so so so so so so and as we draw gently to a close just in your own way feeling a smile come across your chest and the chest of your children just flowing that smile into them into you back and forth,

Just feeling that sheer gratitude for what is,

All is as it should be,

And just feel that feeling settle down from around you through your skin through your flesh and imagining and breathing it into all of your bones and skeleton,

Like they're all just ringing like tuning forks like your skeleton is one big amplifier,

And just wriggling your fingers and wriggling your toes and gently opening your eyes when you're ready letting the world come to you softly still breathing in and breathing out,

Carrying that intention forward with you an openness to grow with your children,

To love and honor them,

And to love and honor yourself one in the same,

And to love and honor yourself one in the same,

Want to thank you for doing this meditation and what a difference it truly brings to the children of this world,

They will feel empowered and they will feel listened to,

As we as adults and elders welcome that child in us out to play and to be seen too,

Blessings to you all and I'll see you again soon,

And I'll see you again soon,

Bye for now.
