As inspiration for this episode, I pull the citrine card in The Crystal Wisdom Healing Oracle by Judy Hall. According to Judy Hall, citrine brings joy and helps you to interact creatively with the world. She also notes that joyful play creates a “wonder-full” world. The New Age movement speaks to the child in our self. Sadly, this is capitalised on as we were not raised in a way in which we are empowered to overcome our child archetypes and become adults. When we grow up, we have to face our faults and make concerted effort to improve our thoughts, emotions and actions. The New Age movement focuses on the childhood positivity and naivety, encouraging us to bypass the struggle and accept things as they are, in order to manifest a new reality for ourselves. There is a place for crystals, positive thinking and self-acceptance. These tools can help us to try to push ourselves forward and become better people. The cool thing I have discovered is the New Age publications are a wellspring of information for all things early-childhood! Age-appropriate positivity!
Inspired by the citrine card, I thought it was appropriate to bring back Maya The Bee in this episode: we play chapter 10 of Waldemar Bonsels’ 1922 book, The Adventures of Maya The Bee. Maya’s courage, naivety and actions are innate, as it is so with young children. Her joyful play and creative interactions bring her to a world of wonder where she encounters a flower sprite. Engaging with young children in True Care and creative exploration will bring adults in contact with a world of wonder, particularly regarding the unseen! The gifts, modalities and hidden talents, that are promoted as the “cause” in the New Age movement, are really the “effect” of doing the right thing in the world by living according to Natural Law, in particular the Law of Vibration. We are all connected. If one suffers, all suffer. If we live a life of care and influence this on others, children and nature, we are rewarded with the effects: a growing intuition and the opportunity connect with our hidden talents. Perhaps a flower sprite might come into your life from doing the right thing.
