The seeds of Love

Today as I watch a parent looking and weening and nurturing their garden, I thought of a child who too is like that garden.
The gentleman was so lovingly moving and nurturing every plant and as I saw this I went over to talk to him.  “It is a lot of work isn’t it I asked.”  He said “yes it is, but in order to make sure that I get the best out of the seeds I need to take care and help them grow”
Hmm interesting, we as adults take so much care over these seeds to ensure that they give us satisfaction to see what it is that we have developed and if they are vegetable seeds,  to ensure that they give us the right nutrition or flowers then they are just perfectly beautiful to see and smell.
I said to him “it is like bringing up a child isn’t it really?” he answered,  “oh no, they don’t make noise and disobey and don’t try your patience!!”
How interesting that we spend our every hour ridding the plant of insects and worms and pruning and nurturing and the next day only to do it all over again, yet we have all the patience in the world to nurture something that you have grown and are controlling.
Well you planted a seed that developed and grew to become a foetus, then a baby, then a child then an adult yet we don’t spend as much time on this as we do our plant seeds?  Why?
Can you imagine if you nurture this seed that is the beginning of life what you could help develop? Just like the plant seeds, we need to nurture, love and mentor these seeds with love, patience and guidance,  after all we created it, they did not create us, we came into the world first they followed … We came first!  So many times I hear parents say that my son/daughter is uncontrollable they just don’t listen, I am tired and have no more energy…and so on and so on. When we nurture the seed that grows into a plant do we ask it to do as it is told or do we physically and mentally need to nurture this growth? Are we able to stop the worms etc, sometimes but we give this seed strength with fertilisers and all sorts of things then we will make sure that we have don’t it just right.
Every plant that is nurtured then creates a succession of future fruits, vegetables , plants and flowers and once the foundation of this seed is laid with love , patience and understanding it then bears fruit and flowers then the nurturing  that you need to do is reduced as the foundation is already laid!
Every child is like the seeds in your garden and if we nurture this miracle with love, patience and understanding imagine the fruits of what they would not only give to you but also to the world because they would pay this forward and create the same love, patience and understanding.
Can we change the world by nurturing our children…what do you think?
God bless love, joy and happiness

Empowering the Jewel

Hi

Today I am going to talk to you about ones life purpose, vision and mission is life.  What does this really mean to you?  when I think about this the first question that comes into my mind is "Who am I?" "where am I going". so here is my take on this, as adult,s we question our pure existence at every stage in our life when we have emotional downhills and at every one of those times those questions seem to always come up.  It always seems to be when we are down trodden, disempowered and low that these questions come up. Why do we never ask these questions when in fact everything is going OUR way and when life seems to be in perfect harmony and your head and heart are in total synch.  Have you ever wondered why this is?  I spent years and years observing this behaviour in adults and children and do you know that I found that the older you get the more and more these questions are asked!

Why is it that a child never asks these questions.  Well here is what I think and what I believe.  See I so strongly believe that every child even before they are born knows what it is that they will be entering into the world to do.  I found that the more a person is in synch with their true heart and follows this in living that path to their real purpose, the more appealing that they appear to the outside world.  More people seem to connect with them because they themselves are connected to themselves so therefore in total harmony with the energy around them and therefore this is resonating outwards.

Mother Teresa never had to ask people to love and respect her they just did, she knew what she was here to do.  The energey that liberated around her was empowering and full of substance: she was in total synch with her true being.

Martin luther the king , Lady Diana, Nelson Mandela, and Florence Knightingale, what about the "newer" people?  Can you think of anyone who has that air around them? see if you can and you will know what I am talking about.


Is there then, not this same energy around children up to around the age of 4 years old?  Why does everyone find them to be so cute no matter what colour, creed, race or religion?  would you then not say that this is somehow linked to them really knowing their true purpose in life....their true being and are totally one with themselves.

These are the jewels in our lives that we need to love, and empower to just be so that there is a better world.  They are the future of this world and we can empower these jewels to shine..

Happy New year to you all

May you discover your lifes purpose, mission and vision and next time you look at a child know they know far more than you could possibly imagine...

Love and happiness

Innocence

Hi, my name is Illa and I have absolutely devoted my life to creating an energy when working with children, either through coaching them or teaching them of self respect and recognising who they really are.  Let me share an interesting story with you.  I have faciliated working through with children for years now and I have never known once for a child to not be able to show love.  So what changes from an innocent 4 year old to a child who grows up feeling hatred and then being labelled as disruptive, badly behaved and uncontrollable

I am going to tell you a story about a little boy who absolutely touched my heart and who is the one who has kindled me to wake up and be the voice for children.  As a baby this little boy was the most loving child ever, he never cried, he never threw tantrums and he was so engrossed in the mecanics of how amplifiers and electronic gadgets work.  He created "live" wires out of rope and amplifiers out of cardboard boxes.

For name sake i am going to call him Ram, Ram was a very content little boy and seemed to not have a care in the world about anything but what I can only call pure love and joy.  The most interesting image was how he got everybody to interact with him in "his" world, he was three then, so he was really cute, in the eyes of the adult.

As he turned 4, curioisity in him took over, he was ready to explore, in his world "the unknown", where this should have a time of learning, it became the time for critisism for him....a constant "dont do this and dont do that, and stop this and stop that, and go away, some other new child is sleeping and your disturbing him"

What do you think that this could make a child feel, after all he does not know anything but pure love and joy, so who has taught him the negative language?

Has he grew to be five, this young vibrant little boy was separated from his mother........where he saw his world to be pure love and joy had now become disillusioned with those words.

Does this pure being who really understands what pure love and joy really is, like nobody in the adultword could, become completely disarrayed, disillusioned by what his world really means.

He wants to get that feeling of just being back so in that search follows the people that should be showing him the real path and instead take him completely away from it.

Should we not as adults learn from them rather than them changing their perception and becoming insecure and lacking in confidence.  Are we not to blame for the changes that they feel they have to adopt because of one word and one word only "TRUST".  These little beings trust us to show and nurture their pureness and instead what do we do, we break them and take them completely away from who they really are ...a pure light of love and joy.

So I ask you the question: are kids really to blame?
