Healing a baby


When a spirit arrives and attaches itself to a family and a particular set of circumstances, whether it is to teach something or to learn something or both, it is attracted to the energetic dynamics of the primary family, or the primary scenario. The energy of the spirit is attracted by it's own vibration to the family that is vibrating at the same frequency. Energy attracts like energy. Therefore, there are no accidents. As much as you would like to think you couldn't possibly have chosen your crazy mother or your immature father or your selfish sister or brother, you did indeed attract the perfect family for your journey here. You are not a victim of your birth order or your DNA or their parental ineptitude, and not even the apparent accidental circumstances.

Each spirit anchors at the moment of conception but is able to come and go throughout the first several years. Infants can still be very attached to the other side, the spiritual world, the dimension unseen by our adult eyes. Young ones see energies and spirits much more easily because they don't have the filters that develop in later years. An infant is often moving back and forth between Heaven and Earth. However, there is a certain amount of time that the spiritual energy or soul must integrate with the body so that the infant can bond and mature in this earthly dimension. Sometimes a spirit is reluctant to integrate, especially if the physical body has suffered a traumatic, painful experience.

You can see in the eyes of an infant that has yet to integrate, a film over the corneas. There's a disconnect as if the baby is blind. It won't hear the soothing voice of the mother or be able to track her movement. An infant who has suffered traumatic pain may disassociate from it's body so completely that it takes enormous effort to get the spirit to reconnect.

My granddaughter is such an infant. Her traumatic experience was heart surgery on her fifth day of this earthly experience. Her subsequent infection created an ongoing painful protocol that shifted her awareness right out of her body. Consequently she is developmentally delayed. She wasn't present when she was supposed to be learning things about her body. She was in a state of anxiety almost constantly. Her tiny fists were clinched, her body rigid with anticipation of pain, her diaphragm was tight which made digestion difficult.

I didn't know how to reach her. I did a reading in January and saw what I thought was her guardian angel, but it was actually her Higher Self Spirit that hadn't integrated with her body. It had split off. The day before Easter we found a healer who gave Marlie a 'do-over'. She had a re birthing session with Dr. Ray Castellino in Santa Barbara and since then she is recovering herself. Her hands are open, her eyes are focusing, she can hear her mother call her name and she's beginning to hold up her head. Physically she is five months old and thriving. She's in the 95th percentile for height and weight, but energetically she is five weeks old.
I write this story again because it is so profoundly apparent to me that this is the message she has come here to teach me. That is this.....whatever your pain, whatever your trauma, whatever dish was served to you, you had a need for it, you had a lesson in it. Whatever your state of affairs are, in this moment, you have but one thing to do to lift yourself up, that is......come back to your experience of being right here, right now. Come back to your body. Come back to the balanced state of Mind, Body and Spirit to find your way to peace. If you are holding onto your traumas, your misfortunes, your mistakes, as a way of staying disconnected and protected, because, after all, that is the purpose of the disconnection, then you are missing out on the peace of the present moment. Fear is separating you from Love. The anticipation of more pain puts you in a state of anxiety and suffering. Putting your attention on what is painful, or what 'was' painful, will stunt your spiritual and emotional growth. Your mind will be limited in its vision of your entire truth, or your authentic self. Your mind will, instead of expand and embrace a more enlightened, broadened vision, it will contract and resist. In the state of resisitance lies the doubt, the pain and the suffering. Open your experience to, not only the programmed thoughts in your middle self mind, but enclude the experience of all of your body, higher self mind, and your soul. The trilogy of perfect balance. We are all made in the image and likeness of God. We all have the ability to heal each other, to love each other, to make miracles happen.
Remember, a healing is simply lifting your vibration to a higher frequency. If you are depressed or apathetic then lifting your vibration to anger is a healing. If you are stuck in anger then lifting your vibration to forgiveness is a healing. One step at a time. From Fear to Love. Keep on keeping on. Breathe it in....breathe it out. Come home.
