Here’s a quick rendition on how to heal children and the difference between healing adults and children. It is very important for people to understand that children come with different problems and different understandings. In some ways you treat them as the innocent little beings that they are and in other ways you treat them as if they are conscious adults. Just as the medical world has pediatricians who specialize in diseases children catch, healers must be aware of the ways children differ from adults. Everyone has mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects that make up who they are. Let’s look at healing children from each of these aspects.

Healers use current to heal children’s mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects. When a healer works on a small child or baby, the amount of current that a healer uses through their hands has to be adjusted based upon the child’s physical size. A small child can take maybe ten minutes worth of healing, while an adult can easily take an hour. The reason for this is quite simple. Babies and children don’t have the same number of judgments that an adult does. They are still learning, so there are fewer barriers for a healer to get through.

On the mental level, healing affects children electrically. The mental world basically refers to the electrical currents that we use for creating ideas and producing results in our lives. One of the healer’s tasks is to see how the meridians and the chakra system are blocked and then to clear those electrical blockages. A hyperactive child may need a healing that either increases or decreases the energy in their body. The healer’s current can calm them by drawing out the hyper energy. A note to parents: yelling at them makes it worse. Give them a big, relaxing bear hug to calm them down.

Children can also have psychological or emotional problems that need healing. As they grow between zero and seven years of age, they are always working on their emotional bodies, so they go through emotional things easily. Once a child understands an emotional piece of material, they can get over it and go on to the next thing, which is something an adult can’t necessarily do.

When working with a child emotionally, I treat the child as equal in consciousness to myself. I do have to change the words I use to adapt to their language abilities, but I address the child as an equal. I speak to their soul. The soul is ageless. It understands! Regardless what science says today, the soul always understands, even when the baby is in the womb.

Emotional problems can form while the child is in the womb. As the baby floats around inside its mother, vibrations from what the mother is feeling or expressing go into the baby. Since adults tend to hold onto things, those things that an expectant mother might be holding onto go into the structure of the baby. This basically sets certain patterns for the child’s life. For example, if the expectant mother slipped and fell in a shower and there was a lot of concern, the baby would pick up a certain amount of apprehension about slipping or falling into water. That thought would have been pressed into the child by the mom. So when dealing with a child who has certain things programmed in at the very beginning of its life, you have to talk to them just as if they understand like an adult does, taking care to stay within their language ability.

Spiritually, children know on a soul level if things are going well for them or not. They know just by comparing themselves with children of different ages. We have an understanding that goes beyond language. We know that our parents helped us with certain things and held us back on others. So a good healer must work with the child’s psyche or spiritual self or soul just as they would work with an adult, trying to understand why the person may have created the problem or what circumstances created the problem for them.

Since children are growing at a rate of seven to one over an adult, their physical bodies repair at that rate, too. Their bones and muscles still reproduce a lot faster than an adult’s does. It doesn’t take a lot of energy to mend a broken bone or to mend a physical problem. Once the child sees that it needs to be fixed, they seem to tap into the God-source and allow the divinity, regardless what religion or faith they are, to come through and take care of them as a matter of fact. “I’m a child. God will cover me.” End of explanation. They’re still in the mindset, too, that a kiss from Mom on the pain will immediately heal the problem because it’s so simple for them.

Remember to use words the child understands, so both you and the child will feel heard and understood. Meet them at their language level, so that you can learn and grow together. On a recent TV program, they pitted adults against 5th grade children, asking them questions to test their knowledge. Many of the adults had to sit back and find out they were not smarter than the 5th graders. If you remember when you were a child, you always thought you were smarter than your parents. Most of us even tried to tell them so, but that didn’t necessarily go over well with them. Well, that’s about it: short and simple. Oh, yeah! Good luck.
