How can mystical experiences be implemented when working with children so that they have positive experiences that last lengthy periods of time?

Mystical experiences can be implemented when working with children by teaching them how to open up their minds by sharing their experiences, new understandings, and their insights about the great mysteries of life. Providing children with a life full of experiences that are healthy, life enhancing, and one filled of pure consciousness will help children to grow, awaken, and will teach them about a life of peace and tranquility. As we become older, adults gain a deeper understanding of spiritual mysteries. As parents, caregivers, and even educators we need to share a child’s joy and wonder …show more content…

Do not be close minded when children share experiences with you or create difficulties for what they experienced. Help them to make sense of the experience. Teach children that it’s just a different way of seeing life and connecting with the world on a deeper level. Tell children that physically wholeness seems to be invisible but that does not meant that is does not exist. We have larger dimensions of spirituality in life and we need to celebrate and honor it. It’s ok to be more present in the world and not to escape it and we can do this by showing love and empowering children to recognize and nurture the fact that deeper realms do exist in this world. As parents it is our responsibility to provide our children with values, morals, and direction in life. The way we raise our children can either open or close off our children’s possibilities that will shape their future. One time when I was about 19 years old I had just put my daughter to bed. She was around 6 months old. As I was lying in bed I heard a distinct voice in my ear say LINDSEY! I was terrified to say the least because I lived by myself with my daughter.

Children are the most vulnerable to outside perspectives and ideas when they are still developing their sense of reality. Most importantly, children are vulnerable when they are still learning the extent to which the boundary between possible and impossible exists. As children learn, they realize that the world that once seemed limitless has limited capabilities. Their entire world is put into perspective based on their personal experiences. In “Bless Me Ultima”, a novel by Rudolfo Anaya, Antonio Marez experiences this progression firsthand.

In Ellen Ruppel's, “In Praise of Bordeom” she explains from her personal history that boredom can be more beneficial than having an itinerary for your child because it can suppress the room to grow in creativity and imagination. For example, when she was a child, she consistently attended a vacant parking lot and would entertain herself with activities such as reading books, bouncing balls around and playing in the grass. She mentions that we are losing trust in our kids and don’t give them a long enough leash to navigate into the world. Ellen points the finger at marketing, because these days we are taught that the more money we spend on a learned progress like karate, organized sports and lessons, the more successful they will grow up to be. She feels that parents are straining a child's creativity and that play is

Children are given the luxury of romanticizing the subtleties of life. Curiosity aloofly guides their imagination, which allows them to perceive and preserve the world as utopian, enhancing their happiness. However, as time passes, this luxury is categorized as a childish delusion when it was previously praised. Individuals who lacked this protection were forced to mature at a faster rate, helping them view life with more transparency. Jeanette Walls' intimate memoir, The Glass Castle, questions why this romanization is a distorted perception and discusses how it harms one’s healing.

Children are viewed as fun carefree young people that are off playing in their own worlds. This is a nice picture to have, but is it really what's best for our children?
