The intention of this article is inspired by the beautiful children who grace the earth with innocence and laughter. May they follow the freedom of their destiny.

I have three daughters: two of them are in their twenties and live away from home. My third child is ten years old. I birthed my last daughter at age 40, when her big sisters were in their teens. Becoming a “new” mother for the second time was rich, rewarding and complex. Besides learning how to juggle the complex emotional needs of my teenage girls and a baby simultaneously, I was given the opportunity to observe and come to understand the significance of “soul groups” and generation gaps. My first two daughters, born in 1979 and 1981, are twenty-two months apart and possess similar energy patterns, as did their friends and acquaintances in the same age bracket. I had become accustomed to their dynamic, and so, when my third child arrived, carrying a very different “soul pattern,” I had a lot to learn.

The “new energy” of my third daughter intrigued, exasperated, exhausted, and inspired me all at the same time. As an astrologer, I knew while I was pregnant that she would be born under the influence of the Uranus/Neptune conjunction that occurred between the years of 1991 and 1995. During this cycle, the revolutionary and individualistic influences of Uranus combined with the mystical and other worldly characteristics of Neptune prompted humanity to liberate from the past and embrace a “new” essence of the soul. Consequently, the babies born under this influence were enhanced with these innate gifts and qualities. I knew she, like all of the babies born during that planetary cycle, would carry a highly charged electro magnetic field that would offer them access to genius, intuition, an active nervous system, restlessness, and great inspiration.

This understanding, however, did not prepare me for the experience of raising a baby charged with this high speed energy and consciousness. It was from this experience I sought information about Indigo Children and the “New Children of the Earth.”

As a flower essence practitioner, I have always administered flower essences to my children. My third daughter, Sophie, took to them like a baby bird in a nest. The vibrational healing qualities of the flower essences matched her system perfectly and became a main stay in her early years.

Her generation is growing up surrounded by advanced technology and a fast pace life that taxes their sensitive system. These children are very active, thrive on stimulation, and, unfortunately, are the victims of medical drug intervention due to the fact that we do not yet know how to properly deal with their true needs. They get bored easily and are extremely progressive by nature. They need to be understood, first and foremost, and treated with respect. All children born from the mid eighties through 2012 carry this new vibration.

Sophie is now ten years old. She amazes me. She expresses wisdom beyond her years with grace and confidence and is one of the most forgiving souls I have ever met. She adores flower essences and asks for them frequently. She has become accustomed to their simple, yet, profound healing potential, and, of all my children, Sophie understands the hidden beauty of nature with simplistic candor.( I have two stories about Sophie in my Power of Flower book/deck set involving the flower essence Shooting Star and the Rose.)

This article will address the needs of the “New Children of the Earth” and offer flower essences that can assist them on earth. I will identify five important stages within the soul growth of these children and suggest a list of flower essences that serve as a remedy to their soul.

Please note: The five stages of consciousness discussed in this article pertain to all individuals, who have, with great conviction, chosen to awaken and walk a conscious path in the world toward a desired destiny.

Children have a special need for nurturing and, therefore, have an innate connection to nature and animals. Most children take to flower essences with great delight and drink of these elixirs as if they were the true “milk of the soul.” Babies and very young children cannot express their needs in words, therefore, when choosing to administer essences to a child who is at a non-verbal state, it is important to note behaviors and subtle nuances that disturb or frighten the child. It is very important to take note of a child’s inability to focus, sustain eye contact, sleep, or eat well.

A child’s well being is enhanced tremendously when his or her parent or guardian is attuned to the inner development of the soul life and the different stages of emotional growth that a child progresses through. With Indigo Children, this emotional state is intertwined with a spiritual essence that causes the child to be even more sensitive and reactive. You must consider the changes in our earth and the electro magnetic field that charges the immune and nervous system of the human body. Indigo children have a very refined electro magnetic field and possess natural healing qualities. If out of balance, these children are frequently ill, look pale, react strongly to sugar and are prone to allergies, and might be prone to nightmares or night visions.
THE FIVE ESSENTIAL STAGES OF AWAKENING

The first stage of awakening for the child is attunement to the EMOTIONAL BODY. This begins at infancy when maternal and paternal patterns have imprinted. It must be understood that most New Age babies feel orphaned at birth on a soul level because they are entering the earth plane from different spheres and levels of consciousness and will feel as though they have lost there way. Even in the warmest and loveliest of homes these children will yearn to be understood at a deep core level in ways that the parents may not recognize. Therefore, it is important to supply the child with affirmation and support regarding his or her individuality. They feel as though they have lost the ‘Mother Lode” and may need to rekindle the spark of nurturance as they enter the earth plane.

Flower Essences to assist in the Emotional Body:

Mariposa Lily: This essence supports the mother/child bond and heals the vulnerability one may feel as they open their heart to love and acceptance.

Fawn Lily: Sweet and tender essence that warms the soul and gently opens the emotional body toward safe and nurturing experiences.

Fuchsia: Soothes and heals unconscious forces of fear, abandonment, and grief. Its little flower, when opened fully, is like a little fairy, petals pointed upward toward the light of the sun.

The Second Stage of Awakening is called EMBODIMENT. This is the time when the child begins to build trust within the physical realm between the ages of two and four. This significant stage allows the child an opportunity to develop a vibrant relationship with the earth and their own self esteem.

Shooting Star: This is one of the best essences for this soul group, or, for anyone who is seeking to gain the strength to follow the path of their own unique destiny. It is also tremendous for those who may have had a resistance to being born for fear of not being understood or validated.

Buttercup: This lovely essence assists the soul in accepting the truest gifts of their soul. This essence helps an individual to honor the true treasure of their own incarnation.

Manzanita: This beautiful remedy helps one to accept the physical plane and honor the process of maturation. Helps an individual feel connected to the body.

Clematis: This is a very useful essence for the child who seems to be out of body most of the time and unable to come to earth. For spacey, overly dreamy, unfocused children. Brings them to earth. Good to rub on the bottom of feet.

The third stage of Awakening is called ALCHEMY or ENCHANTMENT. At this point, from age five to seven, the child begins the process of initiation into their own creative potential. They may feel the chaos of this time period, for their little souls are being called upon to reach out and experience life at new peak levels of awareness. Children begin school, they develop new teeth, and, at seven years of age, have passed through the gateway of infancy and moved into a whole new body. The child begins to grasp new concepts about life as the thinking and feeling realms mature and open to new vistas of experience. They must learn to focus and channel the scattered forces of newly charged creativity.

Madia: Tremendous essence which helps the child develop the ability to focus and center their attention toward new goals. Helps the child follow through the tasks at hand and set appropriate goals.

Cosmos: To draw upon spiritual forces of the higher mind into speech, ideas, and play.

Impatiens: This is a splendid essence for the child who gets frustrated easily or shows signs of restlessness. Helps the child relax and let life flow in its appropriate pace.

Dill: For sensory overload, constant overwhelming environment, allows the child to digest his or her experience.

The fourth stage of Awakening is called SEEKING PURPOSE. Through the ages from eight to ten the child begins to master the process of incarnation and begin to use their innate gifts with conscious intention. They are now old enough to come into deep contact with others and develop compassion and understanding of the world around them... They are able to understand the rhythm of life and the potential for service. Children need to feel purposeful and useful at this stage.

Larkspur: This essence helps the child to find joy in their work and responsibilities and to experience service with enthusiasm and inspiration.

Sweet Pea: Lovely essence to help the child feel at home on earth and within the community. This essence helps one to feel a connection to “home” at a soul level.

Walnut: A remedy for transition. This wonderful essence breaks the link with the past and enables the child to release old forms and patterns from the past. This essence offers the strength to follow one’s own soul purpose.

Wild Oat: This essence helps align the child with intention and focus. It opens the door to new experience, while, simultaneously, directing the child’s soul force down the path of intention and focus.

The fifth stage of awakening is called THE FLOWERING. This stage opens into adolescence and lasts through the duration of the teen years. The flowering stage is the blossoming of many new body experiences, creative urges, individuality, and rebellion. This is the time when a child becomes aware of the “garden” of life and seeks to attract to themselves many new experiences and within and without. Parents have a great task at this stage of guidance for the balance between freedom and form is sometimes difficult to achieve. It is important for the parent to let go of their own agenda and expectation of the child, and with care and protective guidance, allow the child to find their truest identity.

Iris: This vital essence is one of the most beautiful of all. It allows the soul to awaken to its truest creative expression and draws forward artistic and sensitive impulses. It serves as the paint brush of the soul.

Yarrow: Fop protection and boundaries. Helps the child to discriminate and keep away “bad vibes.”

Pretty Face: This essence is useful during this time in the world when so many standards and expectations are mirrored to children. This essence helps the child feel beautiful and graceful in their very own unique body.

Hibiscus: This essence opens the forces of movement and passion. It lights the fire of enthusiasm for life and ignites the soul’s desire to dance the joy of their flowering potential.

The flowers are, indeed, the rainbow of nature. Our children are the sunshine in our lives. It is my greatest wish that this information will assist each individual to find their true destiny in life and follow the path of his or her dreams.

These flower essences can be found in many health food stores, can be purchased from The Flower Essence Society, 530-265-9163, or through my website.
