Children are often more connected to the spirit world than adults. Being so much younger, they are less likely to have been influenced by societal norms and conventions. Adults, on the other hand, have a tendency to lose this connection as they grow older, unless they actively spend time meditating and engaging in spiritual practices.
Without unhealthy influences, children naturally sense the energy around them, making them highly and energetic receptive to spiritual healing.
How Can Shamanic Healing help children?
Shamanic healing can be especially beneficial for children who have experienced emotional distress – whether from the loss of a loved one, a traumatic event like an accident, or any form of deep emotional upset. It can also be helpful for children facing ongoing symptoms such as:
- Fear or phobias (for example, fear of dogs or the dark)
- Anxiety or worry
- Difficulty sleeping
- Social or emotional challenges
- Struggles at school
If your child is facing any of these challenges, shamanic healing may provide a way to address the underlying emotional and energetic causes.
How Shamanic Healing Works
When we experience trauma, it doesn’t just affect us emotionally – it also impacts our energetic body. Significant trauma can cause what is known as an intrusion, where emotional pain or unresolved issues are held in the energetic field. As a way of coping with the trauma, we may leave parts of our soul behind in that painful moment, as a protective measure.
Shamanic healing involves removing these intrusions and retrieving these lost soul parts. This soul retrieval process helps heal the individual on a deep, spiritual level, facilitating emotional recovery and balance. This healing process can have a profound and lasting impact on children, helping them release the emotional weight they may carry without even realising it.
Working Together: Involving Parents in the Healing Process
As parents, we are the primary caregivers and protectors of our children. Scheduling a shamanic healing session for your child is an act of love and intention. However, it’s important to remember that children of all ages need to give their express permission for healing work to be effective. If you’re unsure how to have this conversation with your child, I’m here to help guide you through it.
Also bear in mind that parents can benefit from a shamanic session as much as their children. Seeing a child go through a difficult period is often traumatic in itself, and healing your own energy will often enhance their healing. As parents, we often put our children first, suppressing our own needs or not realising that we may need healing from a situation as well.
When You Feel Like You’ve Tried Everything
It’s not uncommon for parents to feel like they’ve tried every possible solution when it comes to their child’s emotional or behavioral challenges. If traditional methods haven’t provided the relief you’re seeking, it may be that energy healing offers a new avenue to explore. If you’ve found your way to this page, perhaps it’s a sign that energy healing could offer the help you’ve been searching for.
It’s also important to remember that the sooner trauma is addressed, the easier it is to heal. The longer emotional wounds go unaddressed, the more they can affect a child’s development and behaviour in the long term. Healing trauma shortly after it occurs can prevent it from turning into more complex issues down the road.
