Hi Julie,
I am reaching out about my ten-year-old daughter Beatrice. She is an empath.
Beatrice takes on others’ energy and has always had encounters with spirits since she was a baby.
I am trying to foster confidence in her. Pre-teen and teenaged girls can be well … you know.
At this point, she gets scared by the spiritual experiences she has, and I would like her to be more comfortable and confident.
I welcome any advice you have. I’m just trying to foster my sweet girl’s uniqueness in a world where everyone wants to be the same.
Thanks for your consideration.
Caroline
Hi Caroline,
Thanks for your note about Beatrice. She sounds extraordinary.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines empath as a person with the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Everyone has empathic abilities; we’re born with them. Some people, however, have a stronger, more developed sense for what others are feeling. Sounds like Beatrice falls into this category.
Likewise, we’re all born with intuitive/psychic abilities and can perceive and communicate with the spirits of deceased people and animals. It’s just that most of us shut down these innate skills around the age of seven. Parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and others who can’t perceive spirits convince us our experiences aren’t real.
Fortunately, we all can develop and enhance our abilities with a little interest and practice.
As for sweet Beatrice, encourage her to talk with you about what she’s seeing and perceiving.
Let her know all spirits are pure love. The whole evil spirit concept is nonsense. It doesn’t exist and was fostered by religions and civilizations to control people with fear.
When Beatrice senses a spirit, she may get goosebumps and/or an increased heartrate. That’s completely normal and is caused by spirit’s high vibration.
Also, please let Beatrice know spirits only send messages that feel neutral or good.
Please consider getting one of my children’s books for your daughter. They’re full of colorful illustrations and will help explain Beatrice’s spiritual experiences in a fun, simple-to-understand way.
Lastly, even though she’s young, consider looking into my new Angels and Enlightenment Training for Beatrice. She can do it at her own pace online and then participate in practice sessions that will help her hone her skills and validate the information she receives.
Having access to spirit will enhance Beatrice’s life in every way, for the rest of her life.
