How Parents Can Consciously Talk To Their Kids About The Manchester Bombing

If the children are roughly 10-16 year olds, they are early teenagers/young adults who yearn for the comfort of home and stability of home, the regular rhythm. So when tragedy happens, I would make it my responsibility to ensure they are safe and ensure they *feel* safe. That their world isn’t going to turn upside down despite what mainstream media suggests.

It would be a deep talk about how everything serves us, including what we observe. It would be a lesson to examine what we need to let go of. The stories, programs, and belief systems that keep us stuck in a world that is 3-D. Fear based, ego ruled, divided and segregated. I would also say to the children that nothing would happen in our life unless there was something there for us to learn from, to free us. So it all serves. The goal is to get rid of the stories, and return to our natural state of peace. And anything that doesn’t align with that, I let go of. Whatever plays out is for the highest good of everyone concerned. Even though it may be tragic and lives are lost, our soul signs up for the experience it receives.

Now why would anyone ask for this, they might ask? For the suffering that happened in Manchester? Tragedy in general? That is beyond my very finite brain to comprehend, but only a very infinite energy can orchestrate for a purpose. But Source, that is infinite, is all knowing, all powerful, and all good, and we are meant to surrender and trust without fear. I’d probably share a story of when something tragic happened to me, how I lost faith in the community, and lost trust in a greater power/Source, but then how I gained it back again.

Through surrendering and the understanding that we aren’t here for what we project in the physical world, but we are here for soul growth. And what we experience in the physical realm is all the manifestation of what we can use as opportunity for highest soul growth. So something tragic and confusing happens? How can I use what I’ve observed and heard and seen on the mainstream media and around me for my highest soul growth? What programs, stories, belief systems do I need to let go of? What am I fearful of? Where do I feel tension in my body? Tightening in the chest? I would introduce mindfulness exercises on deep breathing and opening up to align with unity consciousness, balance, love, and peace. I would also say to the children that all souls have the opportunity for exponential growth, including those individuals who didn’t make the best choices.

As much as many children are coming to the planet as advanced souls, I know they still need to work out certain components and parts of experience being on the planet at this time. Our goals as conscious parents shouldn’t be to prevent them from being exposed to various experiences and people. Because, whatever they need to gain within any interaction and environment, will take place. So, I’d open up a dialogue with the children to help guide them through programs, stories, fears, maybe connected to their past childhood so they can be cleared. In conscious parenting, its best to try not to cover up or escape from the harsh truth of what occurs in the world around us, it’s best for everybody to interact and walk through the emotions the hard truth brings up.

And I know you don’t have a child, and may not be at that stage yet, but really how you would talk to them from a conscious perspective is how you would talk to anyone else, really. It is as much a test of us, to see them as an extension of ourselves and as a full person. Because we grew up differently. Our parents wanted to shelter us, and believed they knew better than us and wanted to direct and impart knowledge and wisdom upon us when we really had it all along!

I believe that it is helpful to see the parent child relationship as one with mutual reciprocity, balance, and flow. I don’t think of Sophia as a child, though of course she is. But I speak to her the same way I would speak to an adult. So what exactly is conscious parenting? It’s about mindfulness, authenticity, and oneness. A way of life.
