Future-uncertain
I used my Angel cards to try to help you outRe: what do I need to know to help my 8 year old son?
1 Creative Project: “Your soul longs to express itself in creative ways. We’re guiding you to infuse artistry and creativity into your life. Creative expression makes you feel alive and excited, and reignites passion toward your life.”
This card says that you need more positive avenues for creative expression. The angels are guiding you to look for such outlets at work and at home. For example, write, play music, make crafts, paint, sew or redecorate. It doesn’t matter whether your artistry is market ready. What’s important is that you allow your inner artist to enjoy freedom of expression.
Additional meanings for this card: Work on a meaningful project that you’ve been procrastinating about * Enrol in a creative class such as photography or dance * Your life purpose and a meaningful career will come to you through creative ways that are unimaginable right now, so don’t worry about how or what your life purpose is. Just follow the path before you.
2 Innocence: “Beloved one, everyone is guiltless in truth, as no one can alter God’s handiwork of perfection. Give us your feelings of heaviness so we can lighten your load. Give us any guilt, angel, or blame that may shroud your loving outlook. Enjoy the peace within your heart once more.”
This card comes as reassurance that this situation and the people involved are guiltless. If you’ve been harbouring guilt, release it to the angels. Of all the emotions, guilt has the lowest vibrations, so it attracts negativity. If you’re judging others’ guilt, this card reminds you to see the Godliness within them to heal the situation (you don’t necessarily have to continue a relationship with anyone you distrust; however, it’s necessary to purge toxic thoughts and emotions for your own well-being). The angels ask you to consider that any misunderstandings were an innocent mistake.
Additional meanings for this card: See the other’s point of view * Forgive yourself and release regrets * An argument you have may be based on a misunderstanding * Honour the inner child within yourself and others * Look past surface illusions, and see the underlying spiritual truth of perfection and Divine order.
3 Relationship: “Your primary relationship is with yourself and God, and every other relationship follows from there. To attract, heal, or balance a relationship, then snuggle more closely with your loving Creator. As you feel safe and loved within, so shall your other relationships bloom and prosper.”
This card signals that you’re entering a more positive phase in your relationships. You’re out of the forest and entering an area filled with light and beauty. You just need to hang on a little while longer.
Additional meanings for this card: The answer to your question lies within your relationship * Trust your feelings about your current relationship, and act accordingly * The angels are helping you manifest a wonderful new relationship * Send light, love, and angels to your present relationship * A positive transition is occurring in a current relationship (which could include a healthy ending).
* Firstly I see that the angels are directing you to get him involved in some creative activity – drama, dance, music, art etc, some form of self-expression. A class in which he can release pent up energy. (I have taught drama to youngsters and parents have commented on how much it helps their kids release stress.) Secondly, your son is an innocent, his actions are not malicious, just a way of expressing emotions that he holds on to. And there really is no-one to blame as such. This may just be his way of expressing his feelings (as a parent though, I understand your concerns). Third – the Relationship card – to me this is saying that he has some insecurities about his relationships. Family, school etc. Not all kids at 8 are about nintendo or PS2, at 8 I thought over some deep issues, and frankly I was quite cross at my parents sometimes because I thought they loved each other more then they did me – how selfish of them! I’m not saying this is how your son thinks, but it’s just a way of saying he might be having some issues about his place in social/family dynamics.
My advice regarding the reading would be this:
1) Get him into a creative class/pursuit
2) Don’t look for anyone to blame, this includes yourself (mum’s are good at blaming themselves!)
3) Have a chat with him about relationships – simple stuff like ‘who’s your best friend at school?’ ‘Why is jimmy your best friend, what do you like about him?’ and go further, ‘how do you feel when granny visits?’ etc. Don’t focus too much on the anger, just chat and see if you can identify where his feelings are without making him try to identify the problem, he may not have the words yet to express his frustrations.
Additionally – you can send him an Angel Ball: rub your hands together until they are warm, this centres your energy; now hold your hands apart about 1 foot palms facing each other and imagine all your love for your son as a pink ball of love floating between your hands, hum a note as you do this (or when I do it for my daughter I hum a tune I used to sing her to sleep with) then ask the angels to help you send love and light to your son and help him express his feelings appropriately; when you feel totally focused in the exercise send the ball to your son; imagine it going into his heart chakra and making him glow with the pink love from yourself and the angels. You can do this more then once and maybe take a note of if it’s working. If all else fails you can seek professional advice, but try this stuff first.
I will just say this, deal with it sooner rather then later, my daughter had a lot of issues growing up without her dad and we moved a lot and she hated school with a capital H, I defended her too much and neglected to take early steps, as a result I have a huge job on my hands at 16, however the angel balls are helping – it’s a mother’s/family’s love and commitment to help the child that matters the most in my opinion – not therapy. Hope I’ve helped you – much love and good wishes to you both
