  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's really important that we acknowledge these kids are born with so many amazing gifts.
• 0:06
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We need to teach them how to connect with themselves, how to restore their energy, how to hear their hearts, hear their gifts, hear their minds and know how to connect with their hearts continuously.
• 0:21
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, because, as these amazing kids are coming in, they're connected.
• 0:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They are so spiritual, they're seeking spirituality.
• 0:29
  Carrie Lingenfelter: My kids are right now asking me how are babies born?
• 0:31
  Carrie Lingenfelter: How do babies happen?
• 0:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: What is going on with that Mom, my seven-year-old?
• 0:36
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They're wanting to know what is going on spiritually.
• 0:39
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Tell me about human being a human.
• 0:41
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Tell me about space.
• 0:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Tell me about how the planet was formed.
• 0:44
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Hi, conscious Parents, it's Keri here, and I am here with a little info about raising our mindful kids.
• 0:50
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I've got some tips and tricks about breaking free of the box and becoming who you are and teaching your kids how to do that along the way.
• 0:58
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Join us Hi there and welcome back.
• 1:01
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's Keri here, your friendly, intuitive mama, and I am so excited to have a bonus episode, a little quick understanding of some of the pieces that I have seen as positive, helpful tools in our house.
• 1:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I grew up with spirituality.
• 1:29
  Carrie Lingenfelter: My grandmother was Hispanic and we had many generations of spiritual guidance and it was just passed down in our family growing up.
• 1:38
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It was just a mindset, it was part of who we were, and these pieces of looking toward positive moments in our lives, looking at manifestation, believing in what we want to happen and seeing that happen in our lives these are all things that were passed down and pieces that my grandmother really believed in and I believe my great-grandfather.
• 2:02
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Okay, so, looking back, it was a piece of the puzzle that was really, really manifested in my life and I definitely put it on the back burner when I was going to university because it wasn't something that was being thought of in that moment.
• 2:24
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, you're looking at academics and my grandmother was putting Eckhart Tolle and Edgar Cayce books on my nightstand and asking me to read A New Earth and all these other spiritual gurus.
• 2:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: But when I look back, one of the things that I really want to instill in my kids and I think it's so important to instill in our children is the idea of connecting with ourselves.
• 2:47
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So, yes, there are amazing spiritual gurus out there, there's amazing teachers and practitioners and they have many different modalities and all these really neat different ways to connect with ourselves.
• 3:02
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So many of the pieces of that puzzle are tuning out the noise around us.
• 3:07
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Tuning out the noise around us so we can connect with our conscious mind and our subconscious mind.
• 3:13
  Carrie Lingenfelter: The pieces of us that we don't actively think are there but are happening there, that are hearing the messages that we think in our minds, that are some of these pieces that have been instilled with us.
• 3:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Maybe sometimes there's energy that has been passed down from other generations.
• 3:30
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So it's really important that we are connecting with our kids.
• 3:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Number one connection, connection, connection, connection.
• 3:38
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, because if you are not connecting with your kid, you're not seeing where your kid is at, you're not seeing what challenges, what struggles, what daily challenges may arise, what amazing gifts they may be hearing in themselves or seeing in themselves.
• 3:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Or maybe you're spotting it in them from the reflection that you're telling your kids.
• 4:02
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They're internalizing that.
• 4:05
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So when I was a kid, I heard from so many people wow, kids really like you.
• 4:11
  Carrie Lingenfelter: You really have a way with children.
• 4:14
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And looking back I now realize, hey, I did really have a cool connection with kids and part of that was that I was in this mindset, in this pure state.
• 4:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I was vibrating or living in this happy essence and this happy, this happy-go-lucky attitude I had, that everything was always going to be okay.
• 4:38
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I was always connected and I always heard in my heart things are going to be okay.
• 4:42
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And I didn't have a happy-go-lucky, easy life.
• 4:46
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I mean, I lost my father when I was a month old and I received a really amazing father when I was six years old.
• 4:54
  Carrie Lingenfelter: But you know, I had transitions and hard times too, but I had it in my heart.
• 4:59
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It was just instilled and I think it was generations and it was also how I was taught.
• 5:07
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Spiritually growing up is how to connect with ourselves.
• 5:11
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So when we're connecting with our kids, we're modeling what connection with ourselves can look like, right.
• 5:17
  Carrie Lingenfelter: When we're connecting with our kids, we're teaching them not only all these amazing things that we may hear gurus say maybe I could be a guru one day.
• 5:26
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, I don't know, but I want you to have a takeaway Even if I was a guru, I would want you to know that whatever tools are out there are amazing, but you are human and when we're living a human experience, especially as a highly sensitive person, as a neurodiverse person, as a twice exceptional, gifted and talented, gifted person, spiritual person all of these things, we still have our human core.
• 5:52
  Carrie Lingenfelter: No matter how spiritual we are, how amazing we are, how grounded we are, we're still human.
• 6:00
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We still have experiences day to day that can rock our world, that can put us back into our minds, that can disconnect us from who we truly are.
• 6:10
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So learning and understanding how we reconnect Meditation is a huge tool that really helped me.
• 6:20
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Even when I did Reiki and learned Reiki, it still brought me into a deeper meditation.
• 6:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That was one of my biggest takeaways from Reiki was the level of meditation that I could connect with in myself so I could truly hear my gifts, so I could truly hear what I wanted in life, so I could truly tune out the noise.
• 6:40
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It was through meditation and grounding myself.
• 6:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So meditation is a huge one that I love to work with with my kids, and I have an almost 10-year-old and an almost 7-year-old right now, so I definitely sometimes do five minutes of meditation.
• 6:57
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Sometimes you know when we're going to bed right now.
• 6:59
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I started this with my daughter.
• 7:00
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I think I've mentioned it previously.
• 7:02
  Carrie Lingenfelter: You guys may have already heard this.
• 7:03
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We like to do a guided meditation at the end of the night and I like to add in some energy work with it.
• 7:10
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We have been working lately, where we picture a green ball of energy and it's right at it's a sacral chakra.
• 7:19
  Carrie Lingenfelter: But describing that to a seven-year-old, I like to say there's a green ball of light spinning in front of us and it's right in front of the tops of my legs.
• 7:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That's where your sacral chakra is.
• 7:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's kind of how I describe it for a kid.
• 7:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It goes straight down into the earth and it goes all the way deep, deep into the earth, into the core.
• 7:37
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And because my kiddo is six, she's going through these changes.
• 7:40
  Carrie Lingenfelter: She's got teeth coming in, she's learning to read harder and harder texts, she's learning to do harder and harder math.
• 7:46
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, they're transitioning in their own ways and that can cause a lot of emotions.
• 7:51
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So let me walk you through this guided meditation that we love to do lately.
• 7:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's a little bit different than the previous one, so I love to try different things and keep it changing right for these little kiddos.
• 8:04
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So we have that green ball of energy.
• 8:06
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's spinning at the tops of our legs.
• 8:08
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It goes straight down into the earth where it connects deep, deep, deep into the core and the earth.
• 8:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: She's powerful.
• 8:16
  Carrie Lingenfelter: He or she, whatever you choose, she is powerful.
• 8:19
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So we send All of our big emotions, big feelings, fears, nerves, anything that sets us off From that day, from our lives, any you choose.
• 8:31
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It goes deep into that tube.
• 8:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It goes through that green tube way down deep into the earth and she can handle it because she's powerful and she's big.
• 8:40
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And then we can feel a green ball of energy comes up the tube and it ends up right in front of our chest.
• 8:48
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And this green ball of energy it waits there, it's a circle ball of energy in front of our chest and then down we feel this golden energy coming from the sun.
• 9:00
  Carrie Lingenfelter: This golden energy comes down, it's coming down around us and it also really bubbles up in front of that ball.
• 9:10
  Carrie Lingenfelter: The green ball of energy and the green or the golden energy are going to mix together.
• 9:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So we see the gold and the green ball of energy mixing together.
• 9:18
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And then it comes into our stomachs, our solar plexus.
• 9:22
  Carrie Lingenfelter: But I use stomach with my kiddo, our solar plexus chakra, depending on the age.
• 9:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: But I use stomach with my kiddo, our solar plex chakra, depending on the age.
• 9:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: You can use different words, right, my 10 year old.
• 9:30
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I can use a solar plex and start teaching him the chakras.
• 9:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So the green and gold energy it comes into our solar plex and it fills our entire bodies and we feel that love and kindness.
• 9:40
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And I think in my mind, what, what word am I feeling coming to me that my kid needs to hear right now?
• 9:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Love and kindness.
• 9:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And I think in my mind, what word am I feeling coming to me that my kid needs to hear right now?
• 9:47
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Love and kindness.
• 9:48
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That's what my daughter needs to hear.
• 9:50
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So it fills her whole body with love and kindness.
• 9:53
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And then we see a big ball of energy come up from the earth and it stops right in front of our chest.
• 9:58
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Again, we feel that golden energy coming down from the sun.
• 10:01
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It stops right in front of our chest with the green ball and they mix together golden green, mixing together and swirling together and then it comes into our solar plexus, chakra or our stomachs and it fills our body with what is the word we hear you choose love and happiness.
• 10:18
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's filling our body with love and happiness.
• 10:21
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We're going to do that a third time.
• 10:23
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That green ball of energy coming up from the earth, the golden sun energy coming down from the sky, they're going to mix together right in front of our chest.
• 10:32
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We see that golden green, swirling ball of energy and we pull it into our stomach, our chakra, our solar plexus chakra.
• 10:40
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Again we feel that love and patience filling our body right now.
• 10:45
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It fills our whole entire body.
• 10:49
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And then we say thank you so much, thank you for everything you've given me.
• 10:54
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We can add an affirmation in there.
• 10:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We can say thank you for connecting to the universe, god, spirit, my higher source, whatever you believe in.
• 11:03
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Thank you for connecting me, thank you for helping me, thank you for helping me to find who I truly am, thank you for helping me to let go of today's energy and replenish my heart with what I need for tomorrow.
• 11:16
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And so it is.
• 11:17
  Carrie Lingenfelter: And then we tip our heads over to let out any of the extra energy that we don't need and we're ready for the next day.
• 11:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So my key that I'm wanting to teach my kids right now is we don't need our gurus.
• 11:31
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Our gurus are awesome.
• 11:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's awesome to have modalities.
• 11:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's awesome to have the gurus.
• 11:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: What we need in our lives that can keep us going day to day is that connection with ourselves and teaching our kids how we can release the energy of the day, how we can restow or renew energy for our next day, so we can take on our next day, especially as our empath, highly sensitive neurodiverse, twice exceptional.
• 11:55
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Oh my gosh.
• 11:55
  Carrie Lingenfelter: There's so many labels, but it's really important that we acknowledge these kids are born with so many amazing gifts.
• 12:05
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We need to teach them how to connect with themselves, how to restore their energy, how to hear their hearts, hear their gifts, hear their minds and know how to connect with their hearts continuously.
• 12:19
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, because, as these amazing kids are coming in, they're connected.
• 12:23
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They are so spiritual they're seeking spirituality.
• 12:24
  Carrie Lingenfelter: My kids are coming in.
• 12:24
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They're connected.
• 12:25
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They are so spiritual they're seeking spirituality.
• 12:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: My kids are right now asking me how are babies born?
• 12:30
  Carrie Lingenfelter: How do babies happen?
• 12:32
  Carrie Lingenfelter: What is going on with that Mom, my seven-year-old?
• 12:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They're wanting to know what is going on spiritually.
• 12:37
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Tell me about human being a human.
• 12:40
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Tell me about space, tell me about how the planet was formed.
• 12:47
  Carrie Lingenfelter: If I am not receptive to help them grow, if I am putting them down for their amazing brilliance and some of the challenges that come with the intensity, they're going to be putting layers of protection around themselves.
• 12:57
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you think they're going to be able to tune in and be a conscious adult if they have those layers of protection?
• 13:02
  Carrie Lingenfelter: There's a lot of adults out there that may not be conscious right now.
• 13:06
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, it's hard to maintain it, especially if you're a sensitive person living this daily life as a human.
• 13:13
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It can be hard to be a human and we're definitely going to be putting up those layers of protection if we're not connecting with ourselves.
• 13:20
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So teach your kids this now.
• 13:22
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I am sending it out there to the universe that those that are meant to hear this message hear it today.
• 13:28
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Thanks so much for tuning in conscious parents.
