Parenting Conscious Creators
July 10th, 2010
I love talking to my kids about magic and conscious creation. They’re such fantastic students. Kids don’t have all their beliefs figured out yet, so this stuff comes rather naturally to them.
Today our heatwave ended. About 3am a beautiful thunderstorm rolled into the area bringing much temperature relief. It proceeded to rain all morning and all day. I can’t wait to see the effect on my garden!
I had today(Friday) scheduled as our grocery day because I completely missed the boat yesterday. About noon as we were sitting down to lunch, Eddie says, “I don’t think we should go to the store today, Mom. If we do, we’re going to get completely soaked!”
Seeing an immediate teaching opportunity, I replied, “We’ll get completely soaked if we’re focusing on it like that! We need to talk about what we want to create, not what we don’t want. Can you say it again, only this time say what you want to happen.”
“I want it to stop raining”
“Well, that’s better, but you’re still missing it a little. Raining is what you have, and what you don’t want, right? So if raining is what you DON’T want to see, what is it that you DO want to see?”
“Not raining.” (sigh… 8…)
“Okay! How about this! We create with our thoughts and words, right?”
“Yeah!”
“So show me how you can create *Not*. You can create rain. You can create DRY. You can create SUN. How do you CREATE not rain?”
(Dawning recognition with eyes lighting up)
“OOOoooohhhhhh! I get it Mom! *Not something*’s opposite is always something else! I can’t make a NOT so I have to find the thing that the not stands for!” (I had to write that one down as soon as he said it so the quote would be accurate. LOL)
*Hug* “You’re a smart cookie, Kid”
* * * * * * * * * * *
So, now we have to make a statement about what it is we actually want to see. We collectively decided that we wanted the rain to clear and the weather to dry out long enough for us to go to the store and back so we could remain warm and dry. That was our official intention.
We were about 5 minutes from leaving the house when the rain stopped. This was about 2 hours after our original intention. Eddie comes in from the porch grinning. I see him coming and think that he must be about to tell me that our intention is happening because the rain’s stopped.
Nope. He says, “HA! Weather man said rain ALL DAY and it stopped. He was wrong!”
I said, “Or maybe it was unfair to expect him to give an accurate forecast when we’re sitting here consciously trying to alter the weather and bend it to our own will.”
This was when it hit him that we had in fact asked the rain to stop by the time we left and here we are preparing to walk out the door and the heavy rain we’d been experiencing all day thus far had stopped short. I grinned at his mildly stunned expression and finished collecting my things.
We left and drove 10 miles to the grocery store. We were there for about 45 minutes and then drove the same 10 miles back home. Including loading bags into the van and then back out of the van and into the house, the total time spent was about 1.5-2 hours. It didn’t rain the whole time we were gone. The sun wasn’t out and it looked dark and angry outside, but it didn’t rain.
We got everything in the house and the van parked again and after we were home for about 15 minutes, it started to rain lightly and it continued for most of the rest of the afternoon, but we never got wet.
The kids were downright impressed with our little bit of magic making. I love when things work out so nicely because as we all know, the more you see your own consciousness at work around you, the easier it is to believe in your own power.
I want these boys to always know their own power and respect it and rejoice in it, as I do.

My life is a reflection of my thoughts. I will think on Joy filled things*

Awesome post! Great reminder of how powerful our words are, not only in teaching our children, but for us as adults as well.
It can be easy to forget :)
