Here is the question I asked of Yeoshua (Jesus) and Mary Magdalene: I did an email reading for a woman a few months ago and she asked about her young son who challenges her quite frequently. I’ve seen this among many mothers around me and I see this with my own child. You explained this in the email reading but I’d like you to share it here so more can read about why this is happening. Will you share this with us?
Mothers and their children...
YEOSHUA: Oh yes. We like to discuss this. This is good. There are two types of children that have been coming over the last 10-20 years in large numbers. One type is what we shall call Redeemers. The redeemers have come to accept all the negative energy around them like a sponge. Their time on earth is short because they are just absorbing large amounts of negative energy and holding it to take back with them when they die. Many of these children develop illnesses and developmental disorders because of the amount of energy they are processing. Please do not be sad for these children when they pass. They gladly took the assignment before coming down to Earth and their parents took this assignment as well although most have forgotten by the time they got here.
The child who challenges...
The second group I shall call The Challengers. They are the ones who ask questions and challenge anyone or anything. They are here to challenge the status quo which is in dire need of change, yes? Yes. So, they are here to assist with this. One way in which they are doing this is by challenging their mothers. In order for the transition to a more peaceful, loving society to be complete (it has already started), the women of our world need to step forward and become more empowered. They need to see they are equal to men but offer different unique talents and strengths. The old world role of mothering that many young women learned from their parents does not work with these new children coming in. Young women are forced to create a new role for themselves as mothers who hold firm boundaries for their children. They need to not yell at their children but hold them close and yet stay firm with the rules and consequences of their children’s actions.
It is a difficult role but in accepting this role, these women become strong and empowered and more confident in what they can offer not only to their children but also to the world. It will be a new day when more and more women are sought out for their opinions, advice, and intuition on world policies. And yet, this will come about. It starts with The Challengers. They will start with their mothers and fathers for that matter but as they grow and mature, they will question and challenge every rule, every law, every policy, and every thought humankind has ever had. That is the power of our children!
MARY MAGDALENE: Wow. I love the power of your words, Yeoshua. Yes, the children have it going on. If you need some wisdom, check with your child. They are closest to God and often offer the most sane and wise advice.
If you find you are one of these women forging a new form of parenting never seen before, I offer you some suggestions.
Moms need their rest...
First, take care of yourself. This is the first step in setting boundaries. You cannot possibly take care of your child, your husband/partner, household, if you are not taking care of yourself. This means not just sitting down for five minutes to rest. This means getting enough sleep, eating right for what you need (not just settling for what everyone else wants), or putting off doing household tasks for a day while you do something for yourself. Go get a pedicure or a manicure or a massage. Take a nap. Yes, take a nap. There is nothing that says I am taking care of myself more than taking a nap. Drink your water. Exercise. Do the things that make you feel happy inside. Then you can take care of others.
Next, create rules around how you wish to be treated. Do you let your kids call you names? Do you let people treat you rudely? Do you always say YES? Start saying No. There is nothing wrong with saying no. I give you full permission to say no. Decide how you want to be treated. What is fair? I think you should at least be as well treated as you want your kids to be treated by a teacher or another child or the parent of another child? Write it down if you have to. Be very clear on this so you know where your boundaries are. Then slowly introduce these boundaries to those around you. They may not be used to it at first but they will either get used to how you want to be treated or move out of your life. Be prepared for this.
It's never too early or late to set boundaries...
It’s OK to let people go who no longer serve your highest good. If they can’t handle you wanting a little respect, then they don’t need to be a part of your life. Set these boundaries with your kids and attach the breaking of these rules to consequences. Be consistent in dishing out these consequences otherwise your boundaries will be worthless. This is the second step on your way to empowering yourself. You are worth it. And when you undergo this journey, you will inspire ten more women to do the same. And that has huge repercussions for our entire society. If you can’t do it for yourself, think of the other ten women you won’t inspire because you didn’t do the work for yourself.
Take care of yourselves, ladies. Find men who respect and support you and love you for who you truly are. You are each a beautiful gift to this wonderful planet Earth. You can each make a difference by changing your own life first. Ask me to help and I will be there. Ask friends for help and they will be there. We all have to help each other out on this journey. It’s good to remember we are not alone. If you are having trouble raising your kids, find some help. It’s out there. For every mom like you, there are 20 more in your neighborhood struggling with the same issues. Let’s be there for each other and honor each other in our own individual journeys. Good luck, ladies.
Make a difference...
