It’s no coincidence that mothers pat their children on the crown chakra or can be seen lovingly caressing their child’s head. Another thing we often do is touch the child on the back of the head to protect the area on the nape where spirits enter. These are however subtle, ways we protect and cleanse our children if only subconsciously. On some level children know this too. Why does it bother them particularly as they grow older when strangers or those not close pat them on the head? Think- why does a child shy away from hugging certain people?

We are programmed for self-spiritual care and cleansing from birth. Our mother’s intuition and sixth sense helps us to care for young and nurture them whether we are consciously aware of it. Even the most mundane of families takes part in this daily spiritual cleansing.

Now, let’s look at children who suffer abuse- those who are emotionally deprived of touch. One has to reteach them to accept people within their energy fields, helping to recreate those necessary comfort and trust level. Don’t forget that these children frequently suffer from fragmented auric fields and may need assistance in reforming their subtle bodies and the flow of their energy.
