My child just started school recently. A girl in her class is acting like a bully… totally mean girl behavior even though they are quite young. Snickering, whispering, excluding my child, etc.

How would you address this at an energetic level?

I have some ideas, but would love to hear your thoughts:

• Focus on strengthening my child’s solar plexus.

• A cutting cord ritual focusing on breaking the connection between this girl and my child.

• Sending this mean girl loving energy, to compensate for whatever is making her act this way.

I was bullied at school as a kid, so it’s a charged topic for me. And I wonder if I should do some more healing work around my own wounds, in case that is influencing my kid’s own experiences now.

Thanks!

My elementary school aged kid has busy fingers (and toes!). They are always touching or playing with something.

This habit is mostly charming, but it becomes annoying when we are trying to brush teeth, comb hair, etc.

I can’t stop the wild fingers, so I might as well make it a little more manageable. I’m looking for games that can keep my kid’s hands occupied for 5-10 minutes.

They have to be toys that won’t make a ton of noise when they fall on the tile floor. Ideally something that is small enough to keep on the bathroom counter and that can be done without looking.

I bought these small sticky cubes, and they worked for a while... But now the novelty has worn off. Any ideas of what can I use to replace them??

Thanks!

I’m seeing an energy healer. When I complained about the issues that we have with our young child (bad sleep, digestive issues), he basically said that I’m responsible for that since kids problems come energetically from their mothers. So if I want my child to sleep through the night, I have to heal myself.

I have heard this before, and I partially agree and partially think it’s bullsh*t.

Yes, of course, my emotional state and energy system affects my child. But I’ve been doing healing work since before my child was born, I was very mindful during pregnancy and I try my best to regulate my nervous system… I’ve done my best. So to say this is happening because of something I am failing to heal, doesn’t sit well with me.

I have friends with medically complex and disabled kids. Raising these kids is HARD… Their lives have changed drastically and became more difficult since their kids were born. Did these mothers create these difficulties for their children and themselves??

And I see other mothers with “easy” kids.. they are not all healed and awaken. They are regular people with their own issues and unprocessed emotions.

Anyway, I’ve love to hear opinions on this. Thanks!

Hi all, I’d love some ideas for what worked for you if you had a kid that struggled with tummy aches, gas, constipation and reflux since they were born.

I am not looking for medical advice (my kid is seeing all the appropriate doctors). What I am looking for is general guidance to see if there is something I’m missing!

What do I need to ask my doctor for? What natural remedies made a difference? What other alternative practitioners would you suggest?

No wrong answers. Granola and non-granola ideas wanted. I am not here to judge anyone choices, I just want to see what solutions we might have overlooked or haven’t found yet.

Thanks!

I recently took an online class with Kim Krans (best known for her tarot & oracle cards) and I was greatly disappointed.

It was called “Infinite Artist” and it was sold as this Masters level class about visionary art… But it really wasn’t. We moved at a snail pace and guidance was minimal. By the end of the class we were so far behind on the program, that she decided to do a second class: “Infinite Artist 2”, to cover what she didn’t get to. I feel like we have to pay again to get the second half of the content we were supposed to have been taught already.

I wasn’t able to find any reviews before signing up, so I thought I’d share for others who might be considering it. As an educator myself, I can’t recommend Kim’s classes.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. We are all different and I’m sure some will enjoy her classes. Plus, I made some art and I learnt some interesting stuff, so it was not a complete loss. I probably would be less salty about it if it wasn’t so expensive.

If you have recommendations for other classes on symbolism, ritual and spiritual or intuitive art, I’d love to hear them!

Long story short: I’m called to energy healing and I might have innate abilities, but I don’t know how to go about developing them.

.

The longer version of the story involves receiving different energy healings and being told by a few healers that I could do healings myself. Even my human design (if you believe in that) says I would be a good energy healer. 😅

.

Originally, I dismissed it… After all, most times I don’t even feel the energy! But lately I’ve had a couple of experiences that make me think that it should actually consider it.

.

A friend who can see energy says that I have access to a kind of portal or library where healing energy is stored, and that I am a conduct. (I posted about this in this sub before)

.

I’ve been able to ground her energy and move it in the direction I wanted just by intending to do it and holding her hands. But I didn’t feel a thing and I didn’t know that it had worked until she told me.

.

So how can I do this without feedback?

.

How can I know if I’m improving?

.

I can’t always rely on my friend to tell me what she sees/feels, so what are my options?

.

Thank you!

I’m heartbroken… I need to find a new gel to replace Holy Curls Gel, which was my absolute favorite. I thought I had found THE ONE, but now it’s gone. 😢

My hair is thick, pretty healthy, and these days it’s mostly 2C (it used to be definitely curly, now it’s wavier).

I used Innersense in the past, but I stopped after they sent me expired products. (Careful with this! It really messed up my scalp.)

I’m currently using Unkle’s Funky Curly Magic, but it makes my hair feel heavier and dirtier than with Holy Curls Gel.

Do you have any recommendations for low toxicity medium hold gels?

I love botanical and more natural hair products, so please give me your clean non-toxic gel favorites!

Thanks!

I have a friend with cancer. Recently she was getting ready to receive her last round of chemo. I met with her and it occurred to me to send a message to the chemo.

I don’t know if that makes sense, but I followed the impulse. I took her hands in mine, we both closed our eyes and I said something like: thanks for your help, chemo, hope to never see you again! 😅

I opened my eyes and saw that my friend’s eyes were still closed. She said “wow, you notice that, right?”. Definitely not. I noticed nothing at all.

My friend said that energy was coursing through my hands and into hers. She also saw energy coming from behind me and passing through me and into her. She said it was a lovely energy healing and asked me what I did.

I didn’t consciously do anything, and I didn’t notice the energy flow at all.

Sometimes I do try to move energy by focusing and visualizing, but this time it was not my intention.

What happened? And why couldn’t I feel the energy if it was so strong? How can I manage this or call it in again?

(I have felt energy in the past, but not consistently and most times it’s a faint sensation.)

When a situation keeps repeating in my life, I know there is always a reason. But I don’t know what this is trying to tell me!

I usually carry around a tote bag with a journal, a card deck and a bottle of water.

Well, the bottle of water has accidentally malfunctioned or was left open numerous times, soaking everything in the bag. One time it was a glass bottle that shattered completely!

It happens so frequently it’s ridiculous. What could it mean? I never had this issue before…

I’m going to sit and meditate with this question and see if I get an answer, but I’d love to see what your intuition says about this!

I’m making a poppet of my child to help with sleep. I already have a pretty good idea of how I want to make it, what do I want to put inside and how I will use it.

My question is: will involving my young child in the creation of the poppet help connect their energy to the doll?

Part of me thinks it will be great! I could ask them to draw their own face on the doll. They could even help me tuck the doll into a little bed to care for it.

But another part of me thinks the kid might be distracted or think about something else while helping me with the poppet… and that might dilute the energy I’m trying to put into it.

If you are a parent who has used poppets to help your child, how did you do it? Did you involve the kids in the magic? Did you tell them about it?

Looking forward to hearing your lived experience!
