Psychic Children & Imaginary Friends: A Parent’s Guide

 








As a psychic, and experienced parent, my husband and I both have had to field questions from our children about entities they have seen in both their living space and in public. You see four of our children are extremely aware of energies around them and have often been approached by those who have not yet crossed to the other side.

Some of the questions are about seeing colors around other people, or about stones and crystals and how to make energy balls. However, sometimes their questions turn into concerns when they ask about energy that tends to bother, or scare them.

Children are born curious and want to see, feel; understand what is happening around them. They are innocent and not far from source (that from which all things are created) and are like little beacons of light; full of innocence and very impressionable. It is because of this that they are susceptible to energies here which have been left by others who have gone on before in physical form, and those which have been here since the dawn of time.

As responsible parents we try to protect our children from things that we know to be harmful and teach them how to protect themselves from strangers and what to do when there is an emergency. However, there is not much in the way of information when it comes to our children being scared or harmed by things which are unseen.

For those of us reading this, we have an idea that there are things in everyday life that can cause imbalance in our environment and we are taught how to use tools of the trade to get rid of spirits, ghosts and residual energies. When it comes to our children we don’t necessarily know right off the bat what they are seeing or how they are processing it. Or even how we should handle it when they come to us and say, "Mommy I was not dreaming; I saw a shadow man and it scared me." Let alone if they come to us and say, "Who is that person? I can see right through them and they are talking to me."

How do we as parents discern if they are actually seeing these forms, or if they are imagining them? Doctors have known for decades that children, through a natural process, can develop imaginary friends as a part of healthy psychological development.

There is, however, quite a difference between imaginary playmates and those who have actually lived before. Psychic abilities can manifest in various ways such as: medium, clairvoyant, clairaudient, claircognizant, clairsentient, precognitive, empathic, or any combination of the above.

When researching these techniques you may see evidence of your child having psychic abilities rather than a vivid imagination. The best way to find out what is happening with your child is to ask them. Have them describe what they are seeing without asking leading questions.

When the child is interacting with a spirit the description of that entity will be the same no matter what time of day and how much time passes. If it is imaginary these details will change with the whim of the child. The child will give details of their personal likes and dislikes; repeat things that their imaginary friend tells them. If, however, they give information about loved ones that the child could not possibly know, or describe environments that you know for a fact they have no knowledge of, then you need to pay close attention.

Imaginary friends will not exhibit a glow around them and are generally not something that a young child will speak about. If your child talks about the pretty colors around this new friend or about the friend looking different than say a regular person, listen to what they have to say without judgment.

If your child says they are saying words that they don’t understand, dressing different than what would be a contemporary look or are much older than they are, have them draw what they see and do the best that they can in explaining how they feel when this new friend is around.

As a parent, take care to watch when your child appears to be playing with their friend; take note of their attitude when playing, what they do, where they go. Is there a particular place in the child’s environment where they play more, or less? When removed from the environment does the child become more at peace or agitated and aggressive?

Knowing your child is extremely important, that means you have to spend time with the child; really get to know what they like or don’t like; what their temperament is and how they respond to new stimulus. It is almost like psychology 101, but in these days and times energy is moving and blending faster than it ever has before and children are in fact like little sponges soaking it all up.

Children are very creative and they enjoy describing different things they like and how they see their personal environment. Listen to them describe how they relate to this new friend, what is the character of this energy, how is it dressed, how does it talk, what is it trying to convey to the child? Since this new energy has arrived has the demeanor of the child changed. Have they become afraid of the dark? Has their sleeping pattern changed for the better, or worse?

If this behavior continues for more than a few weeks or if you notice that the child is becoming more agitated, having trouble in school, not speaking with regular friends, or becoming reclusive. It is time for action. Hopefully as an aware parent who understands that there are psychics and that they are not abnormal you will have someone you can already turn to with regard to the paranormal.


For those who do not already know someone, please first go by word of mouth before you try a complete stranger. Those who are truly gifted and can help your situation will not take advantage of you, or make the situation worse. If you are having a hard time trying to find someone contact me, and I will do my best to assess your situation.

It is possible that your child is indeed seeing a spirit, and it may be very uneasy for you as a parent to recognize this as fact. The most important thing for you to do is not create fear, or doubt within your child. They need to feel comfortable in talking to you and keeping communications open. It is also important for your child to understand that they are not abnormal, and have a unique ability to see things that many simply do not and above all that they are loved.

The down side to this experience for child if not told that they are wonderfully made, is that they will withdraw, struggle for ways to cope, become depressed, wonder if they are crazy, or try to do something to make it stop. To the child with a parent who rejects these gifts, it tells them that they are unlovable, freakish, and they are being rejected. If you are accepting, patient, compassionate, your child will feel like they are in a safe haven. Positive support, nurturing environment and those willing to listen is the key to a positive direction for your child.

I know for a fact that it was not easy for me to hear when my children started telling me that they too were seeing spirits. I myself wanted to make sure that they were in fact able to do this and what was happening to them as individuals. They are all different, some see auras, others see shapes and feel energy movement. Combined they help each other and I have watched them grow throughout the years developing their God given gifts and becoming amazing people in their own rights.

I am thankful that they can share a major part of who my husband and I are as people and we will do all we can to support them in their gifts and in their lives. There are many wondrous things both seen and unseen it is up to us to unfold all that we are inside have compassion and create peace in those around us always.

In defense of Spiritual Gifts

Preface:  I acknowledge the fact that there are many different religions in which spiritual gifts are imparted on the faithful, and this posting does not imply that there is only one way.  It is merely what I have found to be true in my life as a Clairvoyant.






Even now after almost 24 years of experience in the psychic realm I still hear comments made by those who just don’t understand how someone can actually see, feel, or hear spiritual entities. And on occasion I am told that I am in league with the devil, or that my soul is in jeopardy of spending eternity in hell. What do they base these assumptions on? They base these concepts on fear, incorrect information, and biases connected to superstition.


I constantly tell my clients research what you hear me say, think about what I’m advising you, and listen to what your spirit voice tells you. Does it resonate with what you already know? Does it invoke a need for more information? When you get this knowledge does it create an understanding and a feeling of peace? So I too research ideas, thoughts that graze my consciousness and force me to investigate and push boundaries.


I am an avid reader of the bible as I find there are many different approaches to finding peace and understanding of God, and what makes all of my spiritual gifts possible. I offer the following as perhaps not proof exact, but as something to contemplate the next time you find you are being taken to task about where your ability comes from.


St. Paul was on a mission in the city of Corinth to teach these people that if they only focused on the material means of life and the blatant misuse of the gifts of the Holy Spirit that they would never reach the kingdom of Heaven. He also went on to discuss the power of the Holy Spirit and the importance of understanding that it presents itself in different methods for each individual who is baptized in the Spirit. St. Paul says: “…The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse kinds of tongues.” ~ I Corinthians 12: 7-10.


John 14 verse 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works then these shall he do; because I go unto my Father-To send you the Holy Ghost. We find in Acts 5:15 Apostle Peter acquired the ability to heal the sick simply with his shadow. In Acts 19:12 Apostle Paul used handkerchiefs which had the sweat from his brow to heal those who were afflicted by pain in any manner, mental, physical and spiritual. Again in Acts 8:6-8 we are told that Philip spoke to the crowds performed miraculous signs, delivering those with evil spirits and healing the crippled and paralytic. All of the apostles were able to do these things because they had faith. There were baptized in the Holy Spirit and had knowledge that when this occurred they would be able to do what Jesus had promised.


These were ordinary men who were able to accomplish extraordinary feats through faith. I have the belief that everyone who has been born in the spirit, feels Gods presence has the duty to carry out what Jesus said and heal the lame, the poor in spirit and the afflicted from demons. Those who have the gift from birth to see such things need to be able to explore this as a gift and not be oppressed by ignorance. There is a divine reason behind this ability and it is our duty to let them feel safe and secure and do the work they came here to do.


I was baptized in water when I was an infant and in the Holy Spirit when I was 22 years of age which honestly seems like a life time ago. I had my first religious vision on that day as I saw Christ on a blank white wall he was dressed in a white robe and he had a red sash from his shoulder to his waist. I had no idea why he was dressed like that for many years after I carried the image in my mind, but one day as I was talking to someone in a bible study I found a card in the bible she was using that had this exact image I had seen so many years before it was explained on the back of the card that this meant complete forgiveness.


In all of this the lesson is forgiveness to be free from the demons in your mind which until you shut them up will continue to reinforce lies. The lie that you are crazy because you can feel, see hear spirits. The lie that you are not worthy enough to be in the presence of Spirit to heal the afflicted, and calm the confused. And finally, the lies that you are unworthy of love and cannot possibly have the ability to simply touch someone and heal them from demons in their body or in their dwelling place.


You must have faith that these occurrences in your life which have led you to read this post are not coincidence. In fact there are no coincidences there are only opportunities to enhance your perspective and make better choices.


Follow your intuition and free your spirit it’s waiting to be healed.

Teachings on Angels




“Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact angels have no religion as we know it…their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on earth.” St. Thomas Aquinas~
Psalm 91:11-13 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.


It is important to call on guardian angels when you are experiencing trying times, however it is even more important to know who to address when you have difficulties. I stress through all my writings that educating yourself on spiritual matters can allow you to feel less stressed, and more self assured. It is not important to have things like candles, oils and other spiritual aids. What is important is to have clear intent, focus, and a deep desire to heal.


Herein I only mention 3 of the 7 Archangels, but these three are very closely associated with many of my clients requests for assistance over the years and it is in so being that I am listing these here for you.


Archangel Michael

Many times we feel worried, frightened or otherwise disheveled by life’s situations it is in these times that we should call upon Archangel Michael. When the prefix “arch.” is attached to an angels name it shows the hierarchy of this angel is translated as chief-angel; Michael means “he who is as god.” His main purpose is to hold at bay the evils of the world, guard those who have deep faith in god in times of spiritual stress, and he is the one who threw satin back into the pit. His position is steadfast, his sword and amour are for spiritual battle, and he will never fail those who need spiritual assistance in battling the demons of the flesh, and of the spirit.

Calling on Archangel Michael

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend me from battle;
Be my safeguard
against the malice and snares
of the negative seen or unseen energy forces.

Rebuke the negative energy forces oh God
I humbly beseech you,
and do thou oh prince of the heavenly host,
by the Divine Power of God
thrust into the darkness,
all the negative seen and unseen energy forces,
and all of the ugly spirits who wander about the world
seeking the ruination of souls.

In Jesus Christ's name I pray,
who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit
One God
forever and ever.
Amen~

Again praying with intent is important so when you decide that you need Archangel Michael to defend you make sure you know why you want him and what exactly you want him to do to help you with your personal demons.

Archangel Gabriel

Are you in need of guidance in the form of inspiration, are you procrastinating to the point of ridiculousness? Having trouble communicating? In need of a spiritual cheerleader? Then The Archangel for you to speak with is Gabriel. Gabriel’s name is translated as “God is my strength.” She is associate with women, childbirth, birthing new ideas, and a magnificent orator. She is unstoppable in her spirit and her purpose in life is to encourage and inspire people to be aware of the greater possibilities for their own lives and take action.


Calling on Archangel Gabriel

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, I venerate you as the Angel of the Incarnation, because God specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Give me a very tender and devoted love for the Incarnate Word and his Blessed Mother more like your own.

I venerate you also as the “Strength of God” because you are the giver of God’s strength, consoler and comforter chosen to strengthen God’s faithful and teach them important truths. I ask for the grace of a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life. Steady my resolutions; renew my courage; comfort and console me in the problems, trails and sufferings of daily living, as you consoled our Savior in his agony and Mary in her sorrows and Joseph in his trials.

I put my confidence in you. Saint Gabriel I ask you especially for this favor: (mention your request). Through your earnest love for the Son of God made man and for his Blessed Mother I beg of you, intercede for me that my request may be granted, if it will be God’s holy will.

Pray for us, Saint Gabriel the Archangel, that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

Archangel Raphael

Do you feel you have lost your way? Is there something missing in your life, or in your personal possession? Are you suffering from emotional trauma, spiritual bewilderment, addicted to a substance, or simply just needed some personal direction? Then the Archangel for you is Raphael. His name means “God Heals.” He is the one you call upon when you are in need of healing of any kind. Also, he is known as “the Patron of Travelers,” so when you are going to go on a journey ask him for protection to make your travels more peaceful. Archangel Raphael is the bearer of healing reaching out to Raphael is the first step to admitting that you are in need of a higher power.

Calling on Archangel Raphael

Glorious Archangel Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who journey by land or sear or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.

I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the “medicine of God” I humbly prayer you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor of (mention you special intention), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen

God, with great wisdom You direct the ministry of Angels and men. Grant that those who are always minister to You in heaven may defend us during our life on Earth. Amen.
