“I say always listen to your beeps.”—Rebecca Wells
Along with potty training and socialization, most parents want to give their children some kind of spiritual training, some kind of guidance into the higher dimensions.
Sadly, the most popular spiritual training involves a list of rules and no-no’s, a set of 10 commandments and a lot of reining in of natural impulses. Not to mention forcing them to get up early the one day they hope to sleep in.
Here’s what I suggest instead:
Make it clear to your children that the very best way to connect with their spiritual nature is to follow their joy. Those impulses of bliss and joy are God communicating. Any child (even grown-up children like myself) who follow that path will know God (or what I call the field of potentiality) in a very real way. There will never be any doubt about what to do next or which path to follow.
Because we’re taught just the opposite (you need to do this, you need to get good grades, you need to forget about running around and whooping like a wild banshee), most of us spend our lives wondering “What does God want from me?, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” It’s all there in living color.
If we only follow our “beeps.”

BEEPS; Blissful Enjoyment Encouraging Potentiality 😉
Since most of us were not raised to “follow our beeps” this can be challenging for parents. Especially when they are surrounded by family, neighbors, and even strangers, who are stuck in the traditional spiritual training. That is why it is so important for like-minded parents to gather together, to support and encourage one another in changing their own background in order to raise happy, healthy kids who are connected to Spirit.
Thanks for being part of the support team!
