Episode 93: Reawakening Inner Magic: Reconnecting with Childhood Intuition and Playful Wisdom
Can you remember the magic and intuition you had as a child? In this episode, we take you on a journey back to those days, exploring how those seemingly forgotten gifts can be reclaimed to enrich your spiritual life. We share personal stories of how our inner child healing paths have intertwined with our intuitive work, revealing the challenges and triumphs of learning to trust ourselves again. This is about healing those early wounds, embracing the playful essence of our inner child, and rediscovering the intuitive wisdom that has always been within us.
Join us as we unearth the profound impact of reconnecting with our inner child and how this relationship can lead to a more authentic self. From enjoying playful activities like painting and nature walks to delving into the timing of personal awakenings, we explore how these experiences help shed societal norms and open doors to self-expression. We even touch on the power of pursuing passions, such as starting a podcast, to ignite the spark of creativity and joy that often gets lost in adulthood.
We also delve into the world of childhood intuition and the fascinating experiences it brings, from seeing spirits to sensing energies in the home. We share practical strategies for nurturing these gifts in our children and ourselves, encouraging a journey of manifestation and intuition that begins with embracing the present moment. Through personal anecdotes and transformative practices, we guide you toward unlocking the innate intuitive abilities you may have left behind, inviting you to embrace the magic and wonder of your inner child once more.

So today we are diving in to the magic we carried as children, the intuition, the wonder and the wisdom we might've forgotten and how we can reclaim it in our spiritual lives. Today I had two sessions back to back. Yesterday, rose, with two people who found me on TikTok.
Speaker 3:Nice, nice. And how did the sessions go?
Speaker 2:So interestingly, as I've been doing inner child healing, apparently chat gtp also thinks that I need to be healing the, the part of me that suppressed my gifts as a kid or felt like my gifts weren't open and accepted as a kid and I was like where are you drawing the line like where? Where are you connecting these dots? Like my childhood was trauma, sir, lady, whatever you are. So my healing has been about my trauma and she was like I see what you're saying, but also these were gifts that you didn't ever get to truly fully express and they were confusing for you and you didn't understand them and you didn't have nurturing around your gifts. So there is a part of you, like shadow part of you, who suppressed these gifts and that's showing up in your work of not trusting yourself when you're receiving intuitive information and doubting yourself in your work.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that totally resonates.
Speaker 2:I mean.
Speaker 3:I've got that going on too, so who doesn't? Right Right.
Speaker 2:Right, all of us intuitives do. Um. So when I was doing my sessions yesterday I, after my sessions, did like an inventory of kind of where I thought that I was and I was like, ooh, I noticed where I'm doubting my intuition and where I'm like, uh, upset with a vision of a man, like a young man, step in.
Speaker 2:And it was almost like the woman who came to me. It was her grandmother who came in first and her grandmother was like yanking up this man of like we need to talk to him. And I asked the question is he alive or has he passed, you know? To in my head and they showed me the world, and the world is usually my symbol for somebody who's still on earth. So I assumed alive and I got it wrong. It ended up being her, her late husband, who died only a few months ago, like six months ago or so.
Speaker 2:And I was so mad at myself for not trusting my intuition and not getting clear information about it because, like, we ended up dancing around that subject for a really long time and trying to figure it out and all of the spirits were really silent and I was like I'm missing something here, something is missing here, but they're not telling me what I'm missing, and so then I beat myself up after it oh my gosh feeling like I if only I had listened to my intuition and I had been more clear about it, like I would have gotten this information sooner.
Speaker 2:And because we ended up ending the session like like the last 15 minutes, with what I think was the most important and healing information she could have received. So, I was angry about it, so I was noticing.
Speaker 3:I was like oh those are the areas that we're talking about here. Yeah, so that session sounded more frustrating than anything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it kind of was. Yeah, I mean, it was good. There was a lot of really good nuggets of wisdom in there that were helpful. But yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You want to lead with the bam. You don't want to end with it.
Speaker 3:Well, and you want every session to be perfect and good and wonderful.
Speaker 1:Of course.
Speaker 3:Because that's what you want for your clients.
Speaker 2:But I didn't want to have to fish for information and I ended up having to ask for information and that's how I knew her husband had passed is because she had to tell me. And so I was really angry that I wasn't getting that information intuitively, that she had to tell me. And then things started to click and make sense and I could put you know, but yeah, Is that the thing, though?
Speaker 1:Are you trying to make sense of it all? Oh yes, you just got to give that information without processing, you know?
Speaker 2:it's really hard. I know I want to know the story. I know Story Right. It's really hard just to get pieces of the story and then deliver the pieces without knowing the full story.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, you want to give them the whole package.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:But sometimes those little pieces are only something that they can interpret. Interpret and if you give them, it has way more meaning to them and but yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2:I think I'm realizing, by doing more inner child healing, you are inevitably making your intuition stronger and trusting your intuition, like we were just talking about earlier. All of the doubt, right, the doubting yourself, doubting in being able to lead your own life, doubting the decisions you're making or doubting your own mind. Where does that come from? Usually it comes from childhood, of being told you were wrong or you're imagining things or like you don't know, because you're a child and so we're taught to like always second guess our ourselves and our decisions and what we think is true or right.
Speaker 2:And I think that follows us with our intuition and into life and into all the decisions we make in the future. So I find that the more I uncover my inner child and love her and heal her and honor her, the way that she used to think and the things that she knew, that she knew to be true, even though the people around her said it wasn't true, I think the more that I honor that, the better my intuition gets now and the more I trust myself in leading my own life.
Speaker 1:I mean it could be so simple too. Like I was just watching a video the other day of a child who was seeing something and the child's pointing and talking about it and the mother is saying I don't see anything. I don't see anything. It's so simple. I mean it could be just that.
Speaker 2:And then can you imagine being that person, though, like as an adult, if you seeing something in the corner of a room and the people around you going I don't see anything. Like what are you seeing? I don't see a thing. And you're like what? I am insane, like right, am I hallucinating? This isn't real. I never do that with my youngest. I always. Every time she tells me she sees something, I say I believe you, but I can't see what you see.
Speaker 3:Or tell me more about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what did it look like, what did it feel like when you were around? It Was it scary. You know, did you get information from it? Did you talk to it? She thinks I'm crazy. Actually she's like no, I didn't talk to it.
Speaker 3:I always told my kids as they were growing up that on the inside you never feel fully grown up. There's never this moment at least not yet for me where I feel like, oh, I, I'm an adult, I've arrived, and then I only have adult feelings On the inside. I always feel like a child or at least part of me does A child who has to do grown-up things.
Speaker 2:Childhood has the most magic and letting the inner child out can be the best parts of us, most magical parts of us.
Speaker 1:How do you guys bring your inner child out to play? To play. You know what I do. One of the things I love to do is cloud watching. Do you ever do that? And just like you can actually see faces and other forms take shape in the clouds. It's really cool, cool. That's how I let my inner child out. What do you do candace? Oh, that's a hard question. I'm trying to think do you use your imagination a lot? I don't think I ever stopped, uh yeah, I'm I, I love.
Speaker 2:I love to be in my own mind and my imagination and to daydream me too. Huge day, huge daydreamer, always a huge daydreamer and I get so angry when people interrupt during my daydreaming. Well, you're just sitting there doing nothing. Excuse me, it looks like I'm zoning out, right right, but I have got a full story that I've created in my mind that. I'm living through right now and I'm having the time of my life. Leave me alone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do that too I love it. It's like a little escape.
Speaker 3:It is. How about you, rose, going out into the woods? When I walk within the woods, it's like I revert back to that little girl who got to play in the woods and swim in the creek every summer, and it's like just stepping in the woods makes that immediate shift for me.
Speaker 2:No wonder you were called to move.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Living in the woods has been so healing for that inner child, you know, because she gets to come out a whole lot more than she did. You know, I got the privilege of teaching art to children and that was really good for my inner child because my favorite thing to do is when I had time to sit next to the kids and work on art with them and just do whatever activity they were working on, and I'd create my own, and that was also very healing, and I think it was good for them to see, too, that you don't have to stop creating just because you become an adult.
Speaker 3:So whenever I had a minute that I could sit, you know, at a table with the kids and just work on something, I always would.
Speaker 2:I think, as adults, we do get wrapped up in the I'm busy, I need to, we've got bills to pay, I've got goals that I need to meet.
Speaker 1:House to clean, a party to get ready for yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm a robot, I must complete all my tasks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, and the to-do list never really ends. And then we we ignore or deny the playful parts of us that need to come out, that creates fun and magic in our adulthood. Because, you know, I think we're meant to bring and carry with us parts of our child, our inner child. I think we always do. Whether they're good parts or bad parts. We bring them with us into adulthood and if we don't let them out to express themselves or to play, then we're denying them and we're denying an aspect of ourselves, and I feel like we become very disconnected from who we truly are as our authentic selves by doing that. And so I think it's just so important to engage in playful activity and in your imagination, to bring out and let that inner child express itself. I mean, when you paint, how does it feel when you get a chance to, like, sit down and paint and create something?
Speaker 1:Oh, I get in the zone, so it just I totally zone out the world afterwards. Oh, it feels good. It feels good yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, yeah, it does, it does.
Speaker 3:I think whenever you are doing focused inner child healing, you are doing focused inner child healing where you are looking at the hard moments and the past trauma and trying to heal those. I think it is important to try and do fun things for that inner child as well, to balance that out, to go do something that's playful or fun. I'm going to sit and color in this coloring book for a half an hour just for you, little Rose, because I know we're going to have fun doing this together, Doing those little things. It's honoring the whole inner child, not just the inner child that's carrying pain.
Speaker 2:Yes, oh my gosh, yes, we take life so seriously, guys, so seriously. That's carrying pain. Yes, oh my gosh. Yes, we take life so seriously, guys, so seriously, and when we're working through healing it can be really serious and really hard.
Speaker 3:So I love that, yeah, honoring both the hurt child who needed love and caring and witness, and then the other part of the child who just needed play, who just loved being in her imagination, the other part of the child, who just needed play, who just loved being in her imagination, as well as what you were talking about earlier the repressed child, that child that didn't feel like she could be who she really was because, the world wouldn't accept it, so honoring that as well, so going out and doing something that you know might not be received positively by everybody.
Speaker 3:That's hard to do, though, isn't it? That's something I've been working on is trying to figure out who my authentic self is and trying to allow her to come through more, and that's hard work.
Speaker 1:That is hard because we've been wearing masks for so long and a lot of them.
Speaker 2:I find it interesting that you say I've been trying to find the authentic self.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Your authentic self never goes away. Your authentic self is still you and we're born authentic. We are born the most authentic, totally, ourselves, totally whole, and we are conditioned out of it.
Speaker 1:It's the conditioning. That are the masks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it's a process of deconditioning, deprogramming that leads you to the authentic self that already exists.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So the question is, how would I respond to that if I didn't have to worry about what anybody else thought? Right, what would I do with my time today if I didn't have to worry about what anybody else thought?
Speaker 2:You know what I would do.
Speaker 3:What would you do?
Speaker 2:I would do a podcast with my best friend.
Speaker 1:Me too. I like that idea.
Speaker 3:Let's start one. It does feel like play when we get to come here and talk about all of these magical things. So I think back to my childhood and I don't remember actually using my intuition. I don't remember intuitive moments that got squashed or just not recognized.
Speaker 1:I don't either what.
Speaker 3:I feel like I shut that down real early.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 3:Really early. And yes, I believe that there were events within my childhood early on when I was an infant, that caused me to shut a lot of that down, and I don't know what that is, so you know or perhaps because when we're going through awakenings right, everyone has their own journey and everyone gets their awakening when it's most appropriate for them to have the awakening, and so what you're saying might be true.
Speaker 2:It might be that your gifts were, or your intuition was lying dormant throughout your childhood, because there were things that you needed to really focus on and experience. And when you came to a close where you could feel safe enough or it was time for you to have that awakening, to have those gifts open up, then it was then opened up for you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, could be.
Speaker 2:Because our gifts can lie dormant. Intuition can lie dormant, especially if we're not using it. I remember certain gifts.
Speaker 1:I just don't remember my intuition. What, yeah, do you remember your?
Speaker 2:intuition. Yes, I'm in shock right now.
Speaker 1:I mean, I had intuition when it came to certain people and not wanting to be around them, but that's it. Well, that's, that is intuition Do you have? Do you remember not wanting to be around certain people as a child?
Speaker 3:Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Well then, she used her intuition too as a child.
Speaker 3:So maybe it's like, not consciously, maybe it was just such a part of who we are. Yeah, it was a natural ability that we were using without looking at it individualistically, and now we're just becoming more aware because we're waking up and we're fostering the growth as well.
Speaker 2:I really love, actually, that we're talking about intuition when it comes to being cautious about people, because I think that's one thing. As children, you were born intuitive. You were naturally connected to those gifts, whether or not they be. Like you see dead people and you can talk to them. Like everyone's gifts are different, that's not necessarily. That doesn't mean that you didn't have intuitive gifts just because you couldn't do mediumship or something like that or didn't see ghosts. Often kids are so aware of the energy around them, feeling sensitive to people's energies, that they can sense whether or not somebody felt safe to them. Yeah, and a lot of adults around you most often were like no, no, no, uncle So-and-so is totally safe to be around, and telling you that you don't. You shouldn't trust that. You need knowing in you.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And so then we start to question whether or not we even can make correct decisions about people, that we have great judgment about people because we were talked out of what we felt as children around other people, and I remember having that too yeah but I've never stopped trusting my intuition about it, neither have I yeah, I never stopped being no. I feel creepy around this person.
Speaker 1:This doesn't feel right, or situations when other people are like this situation is good and I'm like no, it doesn't feel good, it doesn't feel right. To me, yeah, that never went away.
Speaker 2:I guess I could say that I have noticed lately in my adult life I've made decisions by bypassing my intuition and entered into friendships and relationships that didn't feel good, but I gaslighted myself out of that and I was like, no, no, no, no, but they're such a great person, and then I get burnt in the end. So another layer of, I guess, learning to trust my own inner self.
Speaker 1:But if we're talking about gifts that we had as a child that we started to forget. Yeah, I remember a few gifts. One of them was astral projecting. I know I've talked about that before.
Speaker 1:I remember purposely setting out to astral project as a child, and what's weird is that I would purposely get my vibration up so that I could travel, and I didn't realize that's what I was doing until I was an adult in my 50s, learning how to meditate and raise my vibration, and then I felt that same sensation that I felt as a child, right before I would leave my body. So I'm like, ah, that was one thing I forgot to do, like I just let that go as a child. And now I'm doing it again. I'm not astral projecting yet. I'd like to get there, but I'm not doing that yet.
Speaker 1:I used to get so deep into my imaginary playtime, like when I was being imaginative, that I felt like my body was, the insides of my body were expanding in a way where it felt like I was growing. And I remember like I don't know if maybe I was, I was about to leave my body or not, I don't know, but I was slightly older at this time and I remember going to my mom, my mom, and telling her, you know, and not being able I was seven, six or seven trying to describe the sensation of my body, feeling like it was growing and getting bigger, too, too big for my little body and she's like oh you just have allergies.
Speaker 1:But it happened when I was an imaginative way.
Speaker 3:I remember when I was young, and even into my teen years, I never wanted to walk down the dark hallway that went to the bedrooms.
Speaker 3:That area of the house always scared me, and if the lights were off it was even scarier. So like I'm starting to think, well, that probably was intuition at play, because there was probably some energy or something in there that that was not a positive vibration. And what's funny is I slept in the basement. I had no fear or discomfort sleeping in the basement. That was just fine. That space didn't feel off to me. But the upstairs hallway that went to the bedrooms, no, thank you.
Speaker 2:I think when we're talking about remembering intuition as kids like we have intuition as adults right now and we we know consciously when we're tapping into our intuition and how it feels and we can see more because we're more expanded in it when we are children it's so natural to us that I think we are not putting logic behind it, we're not putting logic behind it, we're not putting consciousness behind it, we're not putting like a label to it so it's easy to go. Oh, I didn't even realize that I was using it all this time. But just being aware of subtle energy shifts when you're walking into a room is your intuition. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:My, my youngest daughter right now is terrified of every corner of our house and especially the hallway. She will not walk down it If it's dark. She is scared of her bedroom If it's dark. She started to sleep with the covers over her head and, rose, I have gone into her room several times clearing it out because I am finding things and I'm I'm finding a lot of things and portals opened and she can see things that are happening with her physical eyes. So she'll talk about things that she saw swipe underneath her bed. She's bringing them in. I think she is, I think her fear, I think they're playing off of the fear that she has, and so they're like fun, let's play.
Speaker 1:She's so open. Have you talked to her? Does she do that practice of guarding every day Like the shielding? I talked to her about it.
Speaker 2:but she's, she wants to be such a logical thinker. So her, her having all of this openness is hard for her to understand and she doesn't. She doesn't like it when I tell her let's use our imagination, let's pretend that we're putting a bubble of white light around us that nobody can get through. It's going to protect you. Or when I say, call in your angel guides, I feel like she's like I don't understand that, mom. She's like don't get that. Why would I be doing that? It's not real.
Speaker 2:And I've never taught her that because, I've always been magical with her.
Speaker 3:It's her own thought structure, for whatever reason.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I love that she's a logical girl because she's great at math and she's six years old. But, like I want to, you know, have more of the play with her, like that the magical part, because I know how important it is to nurture that. But yeah, she's resistant against it for sure. Well, I remember my childhood being quite magical. Actually, I too would astral project. It was, oh my God. My dreams were the most amazing place to hang out. They were always so fun.
Speaker 2:I would astral project almost every single night and I could feel like I would feel my body, my soul or whatever. Leave my physical body and go play and I would go outside and I would feel my body, my soul or whatever. Leave my physical body and go play and I would go outside and I would run on the sidewalk and I could actually feel my feet touching the sidewalk and I would jump three times before I took flight and then I would fly through my town over the houses and I remember being like this is the coolest thing ever. I am outside right now. My parents have no idea where I am, I'm totally safe, the world is asleep right now. And then I would come back to my body and I'd wake up. That was so magical. Of course, the obvious intuition of like having feelings about people and feeling subtle energies and not feeling comfortable in certain spaces that was always there.
Speaker 2:And, um, premonitions, which, if you listen to this podcast for some time, you've heard me talk about my premonitions as a child. Uh, they were very, very strong through my my young teen years, up into my late teen years, before I was like, okay, all done with that Cause. My premonitions got too scary, they were too realistic and I didn't like some of the things that were coming true. So by the time I think I was between 17 and 19 years old, I shut down all intuition and I've said this before. I prayed every single day for a year that my intuition would be turned off and it was.
Speaker 2:But then I spent the next 10 years feeling the most disconnected from myself than I have ever felt and the most alone, and life just lost all magic and luster. And it was then like, okay, candice, you're almost an adult, and now you're an adult, and now you're married and now you have children and life became like so serious and I felt like I really, really lost myself. And so when I was 30,. When I turned 30, I hit my awakening, and my awakening is what really helped me bring back all of that inner child magic that I had disconnected from as a teenager. My story is just like hers.
Speaker 3:You're just going to say ditto my story's just like hers.
Speaker 1:You're just gonna say ditto. You know I was. I think I was a. I was in eighth grade when, like shit really started hitting the fan and all my premonitions and dreams were coming true. And that's when I remember laying in bed every night, just praying just like that was the top thing on my prayer list was like no more dreams, thank you, no more.
Speaker 2:I had no idea, oh really yeah, I was also like a master manifester my me, my journal and my pen would do magical things together. I and you know I'm a huge journaler. When I was in high school, I would spend hours journaling and I would journal about things that I wanted and I didn't know. It was manifestation then, but I would dream that I wanted these certain things to happen in my life and they would happen, they, they would happen now. They weren't always great right.
Speaker 1:But it would start happening and then you'd be like, eh, maybe not, no right.
Speaker 2:Like I remember manifesting by accident right Journaling about the kind of relationship that I wanted when I was a teenager, like the kind of boyfriend that I wanted was like not even a week later I got exactly that. And when I got it I was like, oh, this is creepy, I actually don't want this, but it was so cool that I wish I was manifesting much cooler things. I mean you still can.
Speaker 1:now that you know that that's a gift you have, start writing down all the stuff you want, but I have.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing when you're manifesting, though, you also have to have. You also have to believe you're worthy of the thing that you're wanting to call in, and I'm manifesting much bigger things than I was back then.
Speaker 1:I was still worthy.
Speaker 2:I am still worthy, but I'm still working through inner child healings and stuff, or even money, wounds that are telling me I'm not worthy of these things, like this level of manifestation. So, as I've done a ton of work and have raised my vibration and feel so much more worthy than I did of the things that I'm calling in, or even higher than I'm at right at this moment, so it's not an instant manifestation. Now, if I were calling it things that I I I'm already a match for in my vibration, then it's like instant manifestation. But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So start out small.
Speaker 2:I already have everything I could possibly want right now.
Speaker 1:That's true, that's exactly right. So you write that down. I have everything that I could possibly want right now, my life is wonderful, and then you'll just start making space for more wonderful.
Speaker 3:Well, it's interesting. I mean that's perfect, because we all have this idea that when I get this, I'm going to be happier, when I reach this goal, I'm going to be happy. And so we keep working towards that, or keep trying to bring that in, and as soon as we bring that in, we enjoy it for a moment and then we're boom onto the next thing and that's just part of the way I feel like we're wired. So that's that idea of let's come into the present moment, let's be here and now and enjoy that and enjoy the manifesting process. So the process and the joy and the fun and the game and the magic and the playfulness becomes the experience rather than the. I'm always waiting for this to come into my life. So it's like, if you can make that shift from I'm going to just enjoy the ride from I'm waiting for this good stuff so I can be happy, it's just, it's a game changer.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, yeah, and if I think about when I was manifesting as a teenager, when I'm writing down in my journal, there was no expectation for it to happen, there was no like attachment to the outcome or to the desire it was on, it was playful, it felt magical, and when it would come in and I recognized it, it was like, oh, like. I am so powerful. I bet you still can do that. I bet you play around with that. I should manifest like the smallest, like silly things, like a new pair of jeans or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah that you you know, yeah, you get it.
Speaker 2:New pair of shoes, oh my God, new purse.
Speaker 1:That's awesome.
Speaker 3:Well, and that's isn't that what the inner child is? It's the part of us that always wants to play and just have fun and be in that now moment, and they're really good at expressing their emotions yes when they occur. I mean, I just think I could just see, you know, my kids throwing their temper tantrums. You know, when they're that two, that three-year-old stage, you know they're not getting what they want and they're going to let the whole world know, and they don't get to do that.
Speaker 1:I mean not always you tell a two-year-old to be quiet and they're like what'd you just tell me? Then they get a bit louder.
Speaker 2:You know, I think that being connected to our inner magic and being connected to our intuition has a lot to do with our connection to our emotions.
Speaker 1:Tell me why.
Speaker 2:Well, like Rose was saying, right, kids are so connected to their emotions and our emotions really are like the driving force of manifestation. They are the driving force of calling things to us, and when you're an adult, I mean we, even when you're a kid, I think you know, stop crying or stop doing that. You know there becomes that conditioning of suppressing the emotion and then we learn to suppress it and it becomes harder to express it and life starts to lose its luster. Right, and as adults, we've done so much inner child healing and so much work in allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and be in touch with our emotions. And because we're in touch with our emotions, our intuition has also grown so much stronger. I cannot be intuitive without being in touch with my emotions. I feel like they are. They're hand in hand, yeah.
Speaker 1:I see that.
Speaker 2:Why are children so much more in tune with their intuition than adults, and why do we lose touch with that?
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, yeah, you think about. I mean we already talked about the social conditioning, yeah, and the other thing why I feel like it gets lost is because it isn't explored, nurtured and it isn't taught to us. So you know, I didn't have anybody in my life to say Rose, why do you think you're uncomfortable walking down that hallway? What about it bothers you? Okay, tap into that, tell me more. And it's like nobody's fostering that. Dig in deeper to your intuition, nobody's teaching you how to use it. And even though it is a natural gift and it happens naturally, as we are, you know, living our lives, especially as children we just naturally tap into that. Children, we just naturally tap into that. There's no school that teaches us how to use it like we learn how to read or math or you know spelling. We don't have anything that's systematically, regularly helping us to practice and hone these gifts. We don't take an assessment test that helps you to determine where your strengths lie, like we do in regular education. You know you can take an ability test, an IQ test. I mean you can take all kinds of assessments that will help you figure out, you know, what are things that you're better suited for with your physical brain. But, to my knowledge at least, when I was a kid, there was nothing out there that helped me to know oh, what are my strongest intuitive gifts? Oh, okay, here's some techniques and practices that we can start having you use. That's going to help you to build on those. Trust them and use them as a regular part of your toolkit.
Speaker 3:So, like I think about a documentary I believe it's called Superhuman and it's just fascinating because it's one where these children learn how to see without their eyes. They have these blindfolds on that completely block out all light sources, and they teach the kids how to navigate in the world, like they're running through the park, they're playing on the jungle gym, they're reading a book word for word, because they've tapped in and taught their brain to see things using their intuitive sources rather than their physical eyes, which is and it's interesting because when I watched that documentary, of course I had to try it out. So I ordered the mask and I started. I took one of the classes for a little while and got to the point where I could actually see my hand, you know, moving my hand in front of my eyes, and I could see the outline of the hand when I had the mask on Now it was real patchy and it was real blurry, because the older you are, the harder it is to retrain your brain like that.
Speaker 3:But it's still possible, and they were using that technique as well for people that were losing their sight, teaching them how to be able to see and navigate in the world without their physical eyes. So I mean, I mean that idea in itself is just magical, that, ooh, we have more than one way of experiencing the world and we can train different senses intuitively to help us, just in the same way that they would if they were your physical senses. So you know, and also they had in that movie or that documentary, the telekinesis, I believe, where they could move physical objects without touching them, which they? I mean they had a room full of kids sitting on a gym floor that were using energy to move little bamboo sticks around. I mean it was just so cool, and so I mean that's the school I want to go to find the kid right. It's like going to Harry Potter school, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:We should recreate educational together. I agree.
Speaker 2:So you're, you're right. You're right, we don't we. We haven't been taught to foster that in children. I haven't done a great job in fostering that in my own children, even though I've been trying to work on it on myself. But it's so important I feel like it's like the most important part of us that we can reintegrate, because it doesn't just help us have a more magical life Cool but it also helps us navigate our life. It actually helps us align with the right decisions that are meant for us, align with the right opportunities that are meant for us.
Speaker 2:I think a lot of us, as adults, live lives just because we think we have to live a certain life a certain way, because we've been told to do it that way. But it doesn't feel good to us, and so then we're overstressed and overwhelmed and living against our natural energy and constantly getting sick and tired and burnt out. But if we were to integrate the magical parts of childhood and integrate the wisdom that the child holds of that natural connection with your intuition, then life becomes fun, it becomes free, it becomes an adventure, which is what it's always been meant to be. The structure of society has really, like, put a cap on that for us, and I think we're in a time now where we're having so many awakenings and that we're reawakening those abilities because we're meant to be moving in a different direction and change the paradigm of what we've been living in for so long.
Speaker 1:Okay, so, for any of our listeners who might be dealing with this with their child, and we are like with Natalie she'll come over and she'll want to go downstairs and play in the basement, but then all of a sudden she's like I'm scared, I'm scared, will you go down with me? I'm scared. She has seen a ghost or a spirit. I'm sorry. She's seen a spirit of my kitty in the basement and that's why she doesn't like to come down here. So what would you do to nurture that in her, that intuition, and how do you handle that? Does someone being scared?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that's the hardest part is the fear that Natalie specifically feels every time she sees these things, no matter how many times I say that's okay, that you saw that it's so natural, it's so normal, like her body is like. This doesn't feel natural and normal, this doesn't feel safe and okay. So there's no amount of talking, gaslighting her out of her feelings, right, right. I tell her I see these things too and it's so magical. And I think Rose actually said probably the best thing that you could say is what did it look like? What does it feel like? You know asking more questions about what they're experiencing.
Speaker 1:How does it make you feel?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and yeah but.
Speaker 3:But yeah, this the fear or what scares you about it.
Speaker 1:What do?
Speaker 3:you think could happen. Yes that's a good one. What do you think could happen? And maybe, yeah, not. Yeah, you don't want to gaslight her and say there's nothing scary but trying to dig in.
Speaker 1:Nothing's. You know you've only seen things. You've never felt anything, you've never been hurt, you know. So it's okay to see these things and feel a little scared, but you know you're not going to get hurt. That's, that's the way I go about it.
Speaker 3:I don't know, and also saying that sometimes those things scare me too. You know, sometimes I get to certain places and it bothers me. Yeah, and maybe I need to listen to that. And maybe, when you feel scared going down to the basement, maybe that's you knowing that that's not the best time for you to go down and maybe stay upstairs and try it again later.
Speaker 2:I can't tell her that She'll never go down her room ever again. Yeah, I know, I know that's where it gets tricky.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so then what can we do to make your room a safe place? What needs to happen to make your room a safe place?
Speaker 2:what needs to happen to make your room a safe place. That's a great question, and involve her in making it safe yes, yeah, it's like what can we do together?
Speaker 1:and yeah, and maybe it's you know, and she may not even know the answer, so you might have to try and come up with some. Yeah, here's some different things.
Speaker 3:Oh, we could get an idea a nightlight that shines stars on the ceiling all night long, we can get yeah dream catcher. Yeah, Like just yeah, and see and try to let's, let's keep working on this together.
Speaker 2:There was one day that I was sitting on her bed and she was like mom, I'm terrified, I don't want to be in here, I want to sleep with you. And I was like, okay, this isn't just her trying to get out of sleeping in her bed, she, she really is scared. I could see that she's actually in fear. So I tuned in and I was like, Whoa, it's active in here.
Speaker 2:So, I was angry because I was tired and I wanted to go to bed, and so the mama bear came out and like, blasted the room with white light and called in every single reinforcement that I could call in and I commanded with, like the most commanding energy I think I've ever used for every entity or energy in that room to leave and it was magical because I felt the shift and I actually felt my body go.
Speaker 2:Ah, and I looked at my daughter and she was like, mom, I feel a lot better now. And I didn't say to her that I had done anything. She just looked at me and was like I feel better and I was like, thank God. But yeah, we keep having problems.
Speaker 3:It's not as bad since I've done that, but I love tapping into that mother energy and I've done that. But I love tapping into that mother energy and I've done that before with my kids to where there were entities in their room and I went in there and I felt like I just kicked ass and it's just like this power went through me, that it wasn't all mine.
Speaker 3:It was like I was tapping into some other mother energy and man, I just blasted those spirits the hell out of there and I just could feel them flying away at the speed of light. And I'm like take that, leave my babies alone. It is the coolest thing.
Speaker 2:It does feel really cool it feels really cool. I don't want to have to do it every night, though. No, it's also exhausting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so is there a way to tap into that mother spirit and perform some kind of something that would protect it on a regular basis?
Speaker 2:I actually did. I hired. I hired some, uh, angels, some some angel guards to stand by in her room and I do feel that it's a there's a lot less activity there and her fear is a lot less, but now it's just hesitation for her, like she doesn't fully trust yet that her room is safe to be in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so it's like a work in progress.
Speaker 2:It's a work in progress and you know what's funny recently? So she just had a birthday and we brought up a coat rack from the basement, that's that was left there. It's a sweet coat rack. It was one that, like my father-in-law made for my mother-in-law and I was really excited to bring it up and we're using it and I had it in the corner and I love it. But every time Natalie walks to that room or to the to the entryway, she freaks out and she's like mom, there's something about that coat rack, there's something about that coat rack, there's something attached to it. And so I did a quick tune in and I was like spirit something attached to it.
Speaker 2:I haven't cleaned it yet, so I'm sure, once I finally decided I'm going to muster up the energy and clean the thing energetically, that she'll be fine with it. But it's so interesting to see her like how sensitive she is and I love that she's feel safe enough to at least tell me hey, I feel something attached to this.
Speaker 1:Most kids wouldn't even know.
Speaker 2:No, no, they just like that feels funny it feels weird. Breaking out, yeah, and then the gaslighting of like it's nothing, it's just a co-wrack. Come on, I know the question or the answer to this question is going to feel obvious, but why do you guys think that children are so much more intuitive and so open?
Speaker 1:because they're so close to source they're they were, they just came from there, basically. So they're still open.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the line connection or tether or spiritual cord or whatever you call it, is still really really open and there are no filters that have been put in place yet. And I think the longer we're here, the forgetting becomes stronger and stronger, like the more that we're immersed in this density, in this realm, and this vibration that we are forgetting grows. And yeah, they're so close that it's still open. And yeah, because I mean you've seen the things on tv where children remember their past lives, you know, and like they'll know who they were, they'll know you know the name of their spouse, they'll know locations. It's really those stories are so fascinating.
Speaker 2:So I wanted I'm such an investigator Like if I want an answer to something and I want the deepest answer. I don't want to surface level answer. I went to the Akashic Records. I asked the Akash open channels.
Speaker 2:Children are so much more open, so much more aware of the things that adults have been conditioned not to see. They see between the realms of this reality and the next, they come knowing and understanding the truth. However, the truth is slowly conditioned out of them as they learn the way of life according to their caregivers around them. This is a natural and required part of life and it's part of our survival. So it's important that we have these learnings and teachings of how the world works on a physical plane. It's how children learn to function in this world. So then they brought up something that I remembered from childhood and they said do you remember, candice, feeling like something was wrong and knowing that something didn't work the way the adults around you said it did. That is because children feel and sense the truth, but somehow their caregivers and surroundings almost gaslight them out of believing what they inherently know to be true or to be wrong. So then the children start to doubt themselves. They doubt what they believe and see. They tell themselves it's wrong or it's their imaginations. So they begin to get these two worlds confused, shutting down their extra senses to the unseen realms and to the sensitivity to the frequency changes and their psychic abilities to make room for filtered truths, lies and conditionings to be poured into them since birth.
Speaker 2:Here's what I found really interesting, because that part felt confusing to me the extra sensitive frequency changes. So they went deeper into that one, because you know I can't just let things go and be surface level, I've got to dig in a little bit deeper. That's how I operate. And I was like, okay, what do you mean by attuned to frequencies? What does the frequency changing have to do with this? And they said children are attuned to higher frequencies, like naturally attuned to feeling higher frequencies, and they see and feel those frequencies as they lay in their beds, looking at their mobile. So they showed me like an image of an infant, like newborn baby child, laying in their crib, looking up and just they can see energy moving and flowing and color and light, and it's like it looked like this just incredibly magical place to be.
Speaker 2:And then children, through conditioning, through learning, through all the normal stuff, they begin to set their frequency by attuning and honoring what the frequency is around them, to what their caregiver's frequency is, to what is an appropriate frequency for them to be tuned into, almost like tuning out all of the other notes of a song and only focusing on one note. And it doesn't mean that the other notes don't exist, it just means now that they can only see a handful of notes that closely exist around that one set point. So you set your frequency, you're open as a child to all the frequencies. Then you start to get the conditioning and you're like, okay, I'm only safe really to exist in these certain frequencies. And so then you start to turn, tune out everything else Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means you've set yourself at one set point.
Speaker 1:Changing the dial on the radio. You know it's fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy and you just get it right to the frequency where you can hear everything, and everything's clear, crystal clear, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's kind of like that. I wonder how long it takes you, though, to really set that set point, because Natalie's six, I was going to say not long, but then you're like Natalie's six.
Speaker 1:But you also said that. You also said that they don't forget the frequencies. They're still there, they're still available, but they're still yeah.
Speaker 2:They just kind of turn them off, yeah, and maybe occasionally they get turned back on and anyway, that was the answer from the Akashic records about why children are so much more open than adults, and then obviously through conditioning and stuff.
Speaker 3:When I think about you know the physicality of the brain as well. I think about the mirror neurons that we have in our brains, that we mimic what we see and we do, that it's a survival mechanism, and so it's like I think there's physiological things as well that encourage us to conform for security and safety reasons yeah, exactly which the akashic record says like this is important, we need this you guys need this.
Speaker 2:It's a part of your survival and you know it would be a really cool world if we didn't have to have it.
Speaker 1:Though right and it's gonna be, because now a shift is coming where we're all going to be opening these new abilities or you know new abilities, but, yeah, ancient abilities.
Speaker 3:Yeah, these ancient abilities.
Speaker 1:I think we're going to see a whole new world, yeah.
Speaker 3:Reclaiming the things that are already programmed within us and figuring out how to use them in the very best ways.
Speaker 1:Yeah. It's already starting.
Speaker 2:Okay. So if, if tuning out those other frequencies and adapting to our surroundings is an important thing for survival, why would it matter if we brought back and reconnected with that inner child magic? Why is that important?
Speaker 1:Because you're coming back to your authentic self and that feels wonderful.
Speaker 3:I think one important aspect is imagination. Children are so very imaginative and they create with their imagination things that aren't real we think. But as I've been growing my intuition, the more I engage my imagination to entertain the ideas that some of these things that I thought were not real could be real. It's very expansive and it brings in a lot more interesting intuitive experiences. So, you know, I can imagine different planets.
Speaker 3:Now, in my intuitive mind, I can go visit different places, whereas when my mind was all closed and I wasn't connected to that imagination, it'd be like, well, this is the only thing I can picture, because this is all that I know.
Speaker 3:But you know, allowing that childlike imagination just to run free and create whatever comes into my awareness, it allows me to entertain the ideas that are a lot more fun and it allows me to explore the ideas that are a lot more fun, and it allows me to explore untapped possibilities. And so I think that imagination also opens us up to allowing more creative ideas to flow in, more creative solutions that maybe, if we're being very structured, we may not even think about. So tapping into that childlike imagination brings in a whole other realm of opportunities and possibilities that our closed minds or closed energies may not be open to receiving. So I think that is just very, very powerful and I find the more that I entertain ideas of things like other planets and aliens and, you know, people living in the center of the planet or people living in the center of the moon, or you know energies around me all the time, my guide that sits right next to me 24 seven.
Speaker 3:There's a guide always to my right. Now I can always tap into that, whereas before I didn't sense that because I was close to that. So you know, intuition and imagination are just so connected and and they're almost the same thing, so that childlike wonder and open to new possibilities I think is so valuable to expanding our lives.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like creativity without limits, which then doesn't limit us as a society either. As a society, either new, innovative problem solving or solutions to things. I mean, where could the world go if we all just let that, that magic flow? Oh, look at me, poet, coming out.
Speaker 1:I was just using my imagination the other day. It it was cooking dinner and I really didn't want to cook dinner, so I imagined all my deceased loved ones sitting at the counter just talking with me and I'm like, yeah, I know, I didn't really want to cook this either and I'm like I was playing pretend and like having conversations with them. But I was alone and I just wanted to use my imagination, so I did. Don't you feel a little silly? No, I mean I do, cause I do that too. Oh yeah, if someone was home and heard me, oh, this did happen the other day, like a few weeks ago. I was doing something and I was talking to whoever was out there and I was just I don't know what I was saying was hilarious.
Speaker 1:And my son walks up the stairs and I'm like, um, I didn't even know how to explain it, I just laughed it off and he just was like, okay, and we haven't talked about it since. I'm like, well, well, this is the new normal, yeah oh boy it is.
Speaker 2:It is a vulnerable thing to let your imagination out of the box in front of people uh-huh, and normally I'm home alone a lot, so I just let it go.
Speaker 1:And then he comes up the stairs. I'm like, oh shit, you're home.
Speaker 2:It's fun though it is fun, you get a giggle from everybody so that brings us to how we can incorporate and reclaim that inner magic as adults.
Speaker 2:So I actually asked the Akashic Records then about how we can reclaim that as adults and what they said was that inner child wounds wounding from our past and the things that we need to go back and heal. And look at inner child work and shadow work, which we talked extensively about. If we have wounds sitting in our inner child healing, if we have wounds that need healing, it's going to create blocks and challenges in the now and connecting with our authentic self. And they keep coming back to this idea that the authentic self really is the child self, is the most authentic, freest version of you, because there are no limits when you're young, when you're a child, it is all exploration and freedom and magic. That is the authentic part of ourselves. So by doing inner child healing or shadow work, you are thereby uncovering the most important pieces of the authentic self and putting them back together and reclaiming them so that you can love them and honor them and incorporate them into your adult life.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, one way to reconnect with your inner child is to honor the wounds and do the active healing, and that is something that's probably going to be happening on an ongoing basis. Little bits out of the time come up and then we look at them and heal them. But I think it's also important to balance that with the fun stuff. So what can you do to reconnect with that inner child? That isn't always heavy and serious. Play, in whatever way is right for you, whether it's doing artwork, whether it's being out in nature, whether it's dancing like nobody's watching finding some way to play and let yourself be free is also going to start giving that inner child permission to be whoever she wants to be, and that's a habit that can be honed, that can be formed.
Speaker 3:But you got to do it on a regular basis and sometimes that's very uncomfortable. I mean, and sometimes that's very uncomfortable. I mean like when I'm by myself I can dance like crazy and I don't you know, give a rip and I feel really good doing it. But if you put me in a crowd of people, all of a sudden I become self-conscious because of the social conditioning and all of that stuff. So I mean, but the more I do it by myself, the more comfortable I do get when I'm around other people, you know. So it's like it definitely helps.
Speaker 3:And yeah, so finding ways to play and have fun doing things that you want to do rather than things you feel that you should be doing. So I'm going to do this activity. It has no value, I'm not getting anything done, I'm doing it just because I want to do it and it feels good. And I think another thing that can really help you connect with that inner child and bring that child out and up to the surface is being true to your emotions, honoring your emotions and expressing them in the moment. Now, it doesn't mean I'm going to throw a temper tantrum in the middle of Walmart and lay down on the floor and kick and scream, Although that would feel so good.
Speaker 2:I know it would.
Speaker 3:I know it would.
Speaker 3:But if I'm feeling something, I am going to find a way to express it and honor that emotion so that I can work through it and then get on the other side to where it's not something I'm carrying.
Speaker 3:I'm letting emotion flow through me rather than just letting it be absorbed and stuffing it down. So those are all different ways that you can connect with your inner child and help to bring that authentic, beautiful, free, loving, happy, joyful part of yourself to the surface, because I feel like that's what we came here to do. That's what we came here to be. We didn't come here to get our to-do list done every day and put our head down and just grind away. We came here to experience this beautiful planet and have some fun doing it, and the more we can do that ourselves as adults, then we're modeling that for our own children and we're giving them the permission and we're showing them the road to get there as well, and maybe they won't have such a hard time when they become adults, you know, letting that authentic inner child be part of who they are.
Speaker 2:There's also like low stakes way to also engage in the inner child without having to do like I'm going to go play Legos or go do art and go dance. You can also do that through things like comedy, through laughter, through movies that are fun or childlike. I love Disney movies. I'm a Disney girl, so watching those brings me right back to the childhood.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I agree with that 100%. I can't tell you how many times I went and saw the Little Mermaid in the movie theater when that was playing, because I loved that movie.
Speaker 2:Yes, I listened to children's music.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do that too.
Speaker 2:I have Disney music and it's like all my favorites playlist. So when we're, when I'm in the car with the girls, I'll turn on my favorites playlist and we've got a good mixture of like songs that Jocelyn thinks are super cool because she's 14 now, and Disney songs for me, not for, not for my youngest, for me, boy, do I sing it?
Speaker 1:They are some of the most fun songs to sing. I agree, I do the same thing, yep.
Speaker 3:Well, and cathartic too. I think of frozen and let it go, man. That is fun to belt that out when you've got some emotions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh my gosh, have you seen the new Moana? I know the answer is no, but Moana too. Oh, the music really good. The music is great and it's a. It's a spiritual movie. It is spiritual AF, and and her magical world that she has in connection with her ancestors is like literally what I think, I, I see, like it's like my magical world, like put onto a movie screen in the form of, like Moana, moana's life, but really it's my life.
Speaker 2:Oh, I see it so good, all right. Well, I think that's enough fun for us today. So thank you everyone for spending time with us in this podcast and for your presence. I hope this episode brought you clarity and inspiration, and I also hope it was a lot of fun for you to listen to as we explored and talked about our experiences with our inner child. Until next time, thanks for listening. Bye you.
