The Sensitive Children

by Jan Mahloch

It is widely accepted that mothers have a sixth sense regarding their children – with intuitive protective gestures or premonitions in times of danger. What is not widely appreciated or documented is the sixth sense or intuitive connection that the children have to their mothers.

Children have always had the capability to sense energy and experience their world from their intuitive selves. But now more than ever, today’s children are awake to a higher spiritual consciousness that results in perceiving energy in new ways. The children of today are highly charged with a spiritual energy of sixth sense or intuitive capabilities. This sixth sense is as functional and strong for them as the five senses are to adults. Their connection to this sixth sense enables them to act directly from their compassionate hearts. It also helps them to use their many spiritual gifts of expression in the human experience. We all have the capability to connect to our sixth sense, the ability to know and guide ourselves by something beyond what our five senses tell us. For most adults, the action of the sixth sense is usually explained away by calling it coincidence, fate or chance. For the children of the world, it is another method to use their energy for purpose and participation. They are wired to receive the energy of love through all their senses seen and unseen. At times it may seem that they are too open or sensitive to all that is around them.

These are the times to watch carefully and observe their use of their intuition. They will always strive to re-balance themselves as the energy influences them. In many cases, this openness to energy can cause them confusion and irritation as they try to re-balance themselves from too much stimulating or non-beneficial energy. Examples of this may be sudden mood changes due to a changing environment or meeting people for the first time. They are using all five senses but are making behavior decisions from their sixth sense. As a parent it is helpful to question the child and become aware of what the child is feeling during these moments. Look past the five senses and ask their sixth sense to become visible to you. Work with your sixth sense or intuition to communicate.

This intuition can be cultivated by spending quiet time with the intention of communicating with your child from your sixth sense or from the energy of your heart. This is valuable as it can help stabilize and support the child during school hours or new activities.

It is much like sending an ESP love letter that can calm and support your child’s energy field. To send an ESP love letter, sit in a relaxed position, breathe deep and close your eyes. It is sometimes helpful to imagine you are watching your child sleep. The memory of watching your child sleep connects a parent instantly to their heart. Once your heart is open, pretend you are having a loving conversation with your child. Expand your heart feelings by breathing deep and visualizing pink energy. Direct this energy towards your child and add the intention that all the energy you are sending is for your child’s highest and best good. Imagine your child receiving this energy and returning it back to you. Hold this feeling of love as long as possible. This visualization exercise can strengthen your intuition and open you up to your sixth sense communication with your child. Relax and enjoy this energetic time together. Become aware of your child’s behavior as you strengthen this intuitive bond.

Now is the time for mothers to embrace their own sixth sense, their intuitive side, to better understand and communicate with their children. Use your power of intuition for much more than sensing fear. Be that safe haven that is a constant transmitter of love and encouragement for your child.
