Greetings! I've had parents contact me in the last few days asking if I have any ideas about how to help their family stay calm in the current financial climate of fear and insecurity.

The answer is yes I do.  Children feel what parents are going through very intensely and will often worry when a parent is worried. As a parent, it is important that you look after your own mental and emotional health. If you are calm and clear then your children will be also.  Here are a few things that should help:

1. Know what thoughts belong to you

The whole world is upset at the moment and sensitive people pick up on that whether they realise it or not.

Everyone has a spaghetti junction of thoughtforms around them and sensitive people can unconsciously get caught up in other people's thoughts without realising it. You might find yourself thinking about financial disaster or losing your job or starving to death when actually, you are just connecting to the thoughts of the person next to you on the tube.

So, each time you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, ask yourself
"Is this mine ?" You will get an answer. If the answer is no, then tell yourself to let the thoughts  move on.

Your children are even more plugged into the collective unconscious than you are and may be feeling very out of sorts at the moment but don't know why. Ask them to put any worries that don't belong to them in a big balloon and let go of the string. Also tell them on a daily basis that you love them and that they will always be safe and will always be looked after.


2. Be grateful for everything you've got

First thing every morning, no matter what else is going on,  say thank you for everything you can think of
for the green of the trees
for the blue of the sky
for the song of the bird
for the crowing of the cockerl
for your lovely partner
for your wonderful dog
for the beautiful dawn
for the smell of coffee
etc etc etc

There is a reason for this. Saying thank you changes your vibration from one of contraction and fear to one of expansion and plenty.  No matter what is going on in the world, don't get pulled into dwelling on the negative. Open up every morning by saying thank you, thank you, thank you.  By the law of attraction, you will draw to you the match of what you are vibrating out.

3. Breathe
Whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, breathe and breathe and breathe, in and out. Concentrating on the breath puts into the present moment and helps you to let go of the fear.

4. Choose Essences
Get out your essences. Sometimes we forget to use our most useful tools when we need them most.  If you don't have essences  then why not choose some from our website

The New Child series of essences are about helping to release the fears and insecurities that we took on as little children. We grew up in a world that taught us that life was dangerous and that we had to be careful and that we had to work hard for money. We unconsciously live with these beliefs until something like the collapse of the world banking system looms. Then all our insecurites come to the surface and we can feel paralysed by fear. 

This is a great opportunity to heal the hurts the little child took on and to make sure you don't pass them onto your own children.
