CLIENT INFORMATION:

Jefferson
6 years old

SESSION INTENTION:

To understand and help support Jefferson’s sudden mood swings and extreme emotional dysregulation. To restore harmony in his relationship with his mom.

MODALITIES PERFORMED:

- Illumination

INITIAL DISCUSSION:

Jefferson’s mom was concerned that something with him changed recently. While he’s always struggled with big emotions and has difficulty regulating them, he had been doing much better during the previous six months when he started going to occupational therapy and better parental support. Lately though, things have felt unusually extreme, and more than the general ups and downs with age and development. Also, he started displaying unusual hostility towards her, which has never been the case before. It’s been a couple months and neither things have eased up, so she’s starting to wonder if something energetically is going on with him.

PRESENTING ISSUES:

- Intense emotions, more than usual
- Very difficult to emotionally regulate even with parental support
- Sudden hostility towards mom


CHAKRAS EFFECTED:

- 1 (root)
- 3 (solar plexus)


SESSION:

1 - Root Chakra / 3 - Solar Plexus Chakra
There’s an issue with his sense of identity. He doesn’t know or understand who he is. This human form feels very foreign to him, unknown, which is confusing. He’s having fun, but feels very limited, and this is frustrating to him. His body frustrates him because it doesn’t always do what he wants it to do, for instance, he can’t fly. That seems like an odd expectation, but to him, it’s a total shock to his system and what he’s used to. This is why he clings to his mom, safety, security and grounding in an unfamiliar world.

Jefferson’s mom is very caring, loving and connected to him and always has been. As he’s grown up and the intensity of his needs have waned somewhat, she’s desired to find herself again, to have a bit more autonomy. While this is not a drastic change by any means, it is still causing some friction within Jefferson’s perception of her. When she is needing of space from time to time, Jefferson thinks she is withholding her love and pushing him away. This perceived “lack of love” makes Jefferson angry at her, and only her, he does not have these expectations with his dad or anyone else. This is because his mom is his safety net, his everything. He came into this life for her, which sounds odd, but actually matches up with information received in personal sessions with his mom. Because of these two things, he has very high expectations of her, beyond what’s typical of a mother-child relationship. While it’s important for her to have space and regain a sense of herself, it’s just as important to do this in a very gentle way so that Jefferson knows she’s not pushing him away.

Radical love. Radical support. This is her job right now, above and beyond anything else. She needs to always be very patient with him, very kind and loving, beyond what society expects of mothers. This is true for many of the sensitive souls born in the last number of years. It can be very draining on parents, especially mothers, but it’s very, very important work that will be better understood in years to come. Jefferson, as with other children like him that have very high frequency, often do not feel comfortable in this physical world, they’re ungrounded. Their mothers serve as anchors for them, their reference point in a strange world, almost serving as a tether keeping them grounded. So when there is discord in the relationship, it’s often very destabilizing for these children.

I got the sense Jefferson loves water, he feels free, almost like he’s able to fly, when he’s swimming. I believe he’s even a natural swimmer, to an extent. He also likes to run and move his body.

Jefferson is often afraid and confused by all the energy he senses. He’s picking up on more than his mother is aware of, and he doesn’t really know what to make of it all. I get the sense that it’s like he can perceive energies on multiple frequencies, sometimes even “seeing” things that we cannot. Other energies he senses are more subconscious, or a felt sense in his body. One suggestion would be to get a cat for him. Cats are powerful energetic protectors and transmuters. They do what dogs do for humans on an emotional level, energetically. If the family is wanting a bit of relief from Jefferson always needing someone to be near him physically (even in their house), a cat would help him feel safe.

While Jefferson’s mom has always went against the grain in her parenting style, she needs to step this up, in a sense. Don’t care or worry what other’s think - don’t compare Jefferson to other kids his age. He is not here to be like anyone else. He’s here for something beyond status quo. In addition to coming here specifically to help his mother with her purpose in this life, he has one of his own to fulfill. But lately he’s been feeling like a burden to his mom, because of her recent shift in wanting more space and autonomy for herself. She needs to realize that she can find this AND still be highly supportive and loving toward Jefferson, even with his extreme needs. She needs to throw out any script or expectation she may have of him or what she thought motherhood of family life would be like. To get out of her head and trust her heart.

Much of the “issues” with these advanced, sensitive souls, like Jefferson, is actually stemming from their parents misunderstanding of them and the parent’s desire to conform to a “normal life.” Many of these parents already know their kids are a bit different and have adjusted their parenting styles and expectations. But these kids need even more love, care and attention. This provides a powerful shield from the negative influences of the world. It may seem extreme sometimes, the lengths parents go to curate a life specifically to these kids, but it’s not extreme, it’s necessary. Raising a child like this is not easy, but if parents understood this, many would feel a sense of relief and validation to follow their hearts. This is what Jefferson’s mom needs to understand.

As Jefferson’s mom is expanding spiritually and energetically, she can be an example for him, to create an environment where those things are normalized, this will allow him to come into his own more easily, when he’s ready to embrace this part of himself. Right now, my sense is that he’s enjoying being a kid, and has been able to shut out much of the overt energetic disturbances he experienced when he was younger. She has also been doing a good job of energetically protecting him and their home.

One way that Jefferson’s mother can restore their connection is to let him know how much she loves him and is happy that he is in her life, remove any sense of burden he may feel. Although I don’t sense this is something she overtly put on him, there are certain aspects of her behavior or things she has said that he misinterprets. But much of this is due to his mom not following her true purpose in life, although that’s something she is working on. The two aren’t mutually exclusive, in fact, they go hand in hand, she needs to realize this. The more she follows her true path, the more ease she will feel in her life and thus be able to bring that peace and contentment to her family.

I cleared out the density in his chakras and rebalanced them. I sense that he did not have a strong attachment in his root chakra. I believe this is what I was picking up on when I was getting that his mother is his grounding, his anchor, his tether to this world.


SUMMARY:
Until Jefferson is a bit older and ready to address what he senses energetically, which he can do quite easily, right now his mother is his safety and literally his grounding. When their bond is not strong, he feels very disrupted which causes the extreme emotional dysregulation and anger towards her. Jefferson’s mom needs to understand this and to find a way to fulfill her own needs while still meeting his. One should not come at the expense of the other. If she can find more fulfillment and meaning in her life, this will radiate out to Jefferson and more ease in the flow of their family dynamic will occur naturally. This is imperative for the well-being of both Jefferson and his mom. In the meantime, she needs to provide radical love and support to him.

As Jefferson becomes more acclimated to this world and experience, he will slowly start to feel more embodied and grounded on his own. Right now, when he’s being physical - running around, swimming, having fun - these things distract him and help him feel more comfortable here. Spinning around, riding his bike and scooter, all of these things give him a feeling of freedom that he desires. Creating an environment where he can do these things often will also help him to feel embodied and learn to regulate his emotions and all the energies he senses.

HOMEWORK / INTEGRATION WORK:
1) Daily energetic clearing and protection for mom, Jefferson and their home.

2) Continue to support Jefferson in his own specific needs versus the society’s expectations. Radical care, radical support, radical love. Follow your heart and his guidance.

3) Jefferson’s mom needs to continue on her path for her life’s purpose. This will have multiplying effects on the whole family.

4) Consider getting a cat or find other ways to support Jefferson that can ease so much of the weight being on his mom’s shoulders.


CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Jefferson’s mom said the information I shared from the session resonated deeply with her. She did not realize that her frustration for not pursuing more autonomy and personal space years ago had caused her to feel misplaced resentment, which Jefferson was picking up on. She reflected that being a parent of a child like Jefferson requires much effort, but understands now that taking care of her own needs is just as important, because ultimately that allows her to show up more for him and his needs as well. Until the session, she had not drawn the connection. She said she also feels a sense of validation and is encouraged to continue "bucking the system" so to speak, in terms of how her and her husband curate their life around what Jefferson needs. It was reaffirming to her to continue down that path.

She reported that Jefferson was much calmer the next day, and their relationship got back on track seemingly over night. She credits both the energetic work from the session as well as the insights I shared, allowing her to be more intentional with him. Additionally, she confirmed that he does pick up on a lot of energies and entities and has talked about seeing ghosts and other things since he started speaking at about two years old. She also confirmed that he loves water and taught himself to swim a couple years ago. She said he seems to experience complete peace and bliss while in the water, even just a shower. He also runs around and scooters constantly with seemingly endless amounts of energy.

When I checked in with her a couple months later, Jefferson's mom said that things were going great! She had shared the information with her husband who was also encouraged by the reminder that they're on the right track with Jefferson, even when it seems hard and out of the ordinary. Jefferson's mom said that their bond has continued to strengthen and she's found it easier to support him in all his needs now that she has also started carving out time and space for herself. Overall she is feeling more calm and regulated as well. Although a cat is not in the cards for the family at this time, they have made even more effort to find ways that Jefferson can be physically active and even created a "sensory area" in their basement playroom for him to jump, climb and run around in. She said she was grateful for the session and has referred this work to others.
