THE IMPORTANCE OF FOUR YEAR OLDS — PAST LIVES ADDITION  — NOVEMBER 2012

Hello dear Friends and Readers, There was some fascinating research about babies the other night on 60 Minutes.  It reminded me of something I read years ago when the ancients were determining the educational path of a child.  They would put 5 objects in front of a very young child and watch to see which object he or she would choose first.  In our modern world we have a different educational system but their technique is still valuable to us when dealing with  young children.  Parents need to watch for clues as to the child’s talents and preferences.  Getting your baby’s chart done is helpful.  Babies are more recently arrived from Heaven so they have something to teach us, too.  It is a scientific fact that the bones at the top of the head remain open until about 18 months old.  Their crown chakras are open and their thinking processes are as complex as ours, they just don’t have the language skills yet.

I have noticed for many years that when a child is 3-5 years old, and particularly at age 4, they will spontaneously speak about past life experiences.  It is very important that a parent NOT ask leading questions, just stay alert and see what your children (or nephews/nieces, grandchildren, etc.) say without any prompting.  This can be so helpful to give you parents clues as to why your child is here, what they need to learn, what they have to teach, their talents, their past ties with YOU, etc.

I will give you some examples.  A friend of mine who was not particularly metaphysical was with her 3^rd child, a 4 year old boy in their kitchen.  The father, a moody type, stormed through the house and out the door on his way to work.  The boy looked at his mother and said, “When I was here before, I was a cop and he didn’t get away with this!” ???  There are karmic ties between law enforcers and criminals, the same way there are karmic ties between criminals and victims.

Another child, known to me, was agitated as a baby if only one cracker or teething biscuit was put in her hand.  When one was in each hand, she was fine.  Now this child had a couple of planets in Gemini (the hands) but I sensed it was more than that.  She would take lots of empty food boxes into her room and it felt like it was more than just playing grocery store.  Finally, at 4 years, she was getting out of the bath and said to her mother with a  smile “Dry me bum, Mama.” ???  And that was the clue we needed to understand what was going on…in Industrial Revolutionary England, you could be hanged for stealing a loaf of bread.  There were many children who didn’t have enough to eat, orphans, etc.  That period was a tough time for many children.  In a situation like that, parents would want to reassure the child through ACTIONS, NOT WORDS, that there was plenty of food available — leftovers, snacks, etc.  This particular parent kept a well-stocked pantry.

There’s a little boy I know who even as a baby, had a particular fascination for helicopters.  Anytime one flew by even at a distance, he would cock his head and listen intently. When he was three his Dad got a remote controlled toy helicopter so the boy could see it in action up close.  Now he is four, approaching the age where he may tell us something.  I’m just watching… Where does this stuff come from?  Was he a pilot before?  Will he grow up to be a pilot?  Time will tell…

The last example is my own granddaughter who has good language skills and is at the age where clues are given.  She spontaneously said to her mother last week that when she was a grown-up she worked in a place that made shirts and pants.  Sounds like a garment factory to me.  Then she indicated that she sold those items, too.  So it may have been  a manufacturer with a store, too.  What she doesn’t know is that I grew up in the garment business; I worked in the factory from a young age.  Her great-grandfather, my Dad, was at one time a talented designer as well as a manufacturer.  So we’ll be watching for more clues, and later on I will see if she likes sewing… I would have thought from her chart that her talents lie more with athletics, possibly dancing, but she does have a Libra Moon.  So we’ll see…

I have another grandchild who I’m watching for clues but he is just now starting to talk so it will be awhile…

I hope these examples have been helpful and awakened you to observe the children in your life — what they say, what they do.  There is a lot of information to be gained that can be quite helpful, both now and in the future…

Feel free to share your own experiences with us, comments are welcome…Blessings, Jenae
