Soul Family – Helping Your Children & Teens
On Children
By Kahlil Gibran
Y(our) children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

*NOTE TO PARENTS:
Jennifer Clark is NOT a Licensed Therapist, Counsellor or Medical Professional. Her work is NOT designed to give psychological advice or counselling or to replace psychological or medical advice. She cannot and does not diagnose or cure di-ease. However, she can support you and your child/teen on a path of personal and spiritual growth, increased balance, resiliency, peace, harmony and well-being.

SOUL FAMILY HEALING SESSIONS:
Children or teen healing sessions are 40 minutes long and are designed to support children ages 1 to 19 years old. Your investment cost $111.00 CDN plus 13% HST = $125.43 CDN. Sessions are 40 minutes long.
They can be done in person for older children/teens (12 years up) or can be done remotely for younger children 1 year to 12 years and for any age that cannot physically be present for an in person healing experience.
Note that for long distance healing, Jennifer would need the permission of one of the parents of the child or permission of the teen if over 13 years old, their name and age and she will do an interconnected long distance energy healing session on them. This means the child or teen does not have to be physically present during the session. Interconnected or long distance healing is a common practice in energy medicine. Because everything is energy, Jennifer can intuitively connect to the Higher Self of her child or teen client, ask permission to offer healing assistance, accurately track the underlying issue of the problem and then perform the necessary healing energetically. This is valuable since most children do not sit still very well and often the cause of the problem is something that the child client should not hear. It is for this reason that interconnected long distance healing is highly recommended for children and teens and one of the most effective ways of supporting your child. After the interconnected session is completed, Jennifer will send you an informal synopsis of the results.
The beauty of these long distance healing sessions is that a significant amount of positive change can be done in one healing session for a child or teen long distance. Because everything is energy, most times Jennifer is able to do more than one healing session in one appointment for a child or teen. Young people readily absorb the healing energy and are very grateful for the extra help.
The results can be almost immediate. The parents are encouraged to monitor the emotions of the child or teen and give them extra care during and after a healing session. It is therefore recommended not to book a healing session when the child or teen is active in sports or physical activity.
Parents would book a healing session for their child/teen and pre-pay in advance providing the name, age and location of the child/teen. A receipt is given once payment has been made. At the appointed time, Jennifer will then energetically connect to the spiritual energy/ Higher Self of the child/teen, ask permission and then offer whatever assistance is required. Jennifer will then email the parent or guardian the results of the session.
Issues that healing sessions have helped shift: bed wetting, anxiety, depression, irrational fears, nightmares, bullying, low self-esteem, rude behaviour, anger issues, aggression, despair, poor concentration, isolation, conflict, poor social and interpersonal skills and unexplained physiological conditions.
As always, Jennifer is happy to work with parents coaching them on how to better mentor and guide their child or teen more consciously and holistically.
