0-7 The Magical Age Range

Everything & I mean everything that I've read and studied says the ages between 0&7 are such a huge time for a child & parent.

Of course we have the obvious - that everything is new to them & us, we're getting to know each other... The basics you could say.

It's not just that though. 

It's the imprinting, the emotional load that is passed down to the child. I mean - possible emotional load. After the 7th year - whatever unlived life the parent had and even unmet needs the parent had can be imprinted onto the child. 

It would then be up to the child in an unconscious way to bare this load.

This emotional load might leak out when they are angry. It could be how they relate & make friends with others. 

So many ways this can be reflected outwardly & inwardly.

I wonder if we actually sit down and comb through what our lives were between the ages of 0-7, that alone might trigger some breakthroughs...

Through those 0-7 years with parent & child there is a golden opportunity to face everything head on. Almost like the child is a mirror for you, for us & for everyone. If you have children I’m almost certain you know the mirror I’m talking about.

Will we rise to the occasion with this knowledge & all those studying to better themselves? - I'm curious to see.

For me - & I feel like y'all know my story buttttt my spiritual 2x4 that I got hit with when Ryleigh was an infant... Instead of turning away from some very very hard truth - I faced most of it head on. Healing layers upon layers of everything. Wow - thinking back, both girls were under 7 when I did a ton of healing & learning. 

Possible to be more intense the more kids you have under 7 at once? Hmmm

I'd like to think my aura was getting ready for that 0-7 bond/imprinting with my daughters.

All this knowledge & thinking lands me right here. 

I'm in such a different place in my life. At 33 (tomorrow!) I understand so much more than when I was in my early 20s with my first two. I'm talking more so internally. Not in a materialistic way but in a clean slate/empty vessel/light house kinda way.

The dreaded why. Why am I noticing this difference? 

I'd like to think I have worked out most of my 0-7 trauma & imprintings of a life unlived & needs not met of my mother & father. I feel I am a clean slate raising this third babe. I'm so clear with my values & if I have any unmet needs well it's my own fault & I don't push them aside anymore. I go the hell out there and meet them or go inside, internally. Let's face it - a lot of unhealed trauma can be healed with an I'm sorry, hot tears down the face & some acceptance. LOL only 20% joking here.

I have learned there is no other life then the life we are currently living. Of course we can make different choices that land us where we are but what I mean is, where we are, is where we are. 

I did go into my pregnancy feeling hindered in a way. I was living some of the best years of my life with two older kids in tow. Traveling & having all the fun.

There was a moment where I was at a cross roads. Would I carry this energy into birth? Would my unmet needs meet my child and become a unnecessary weight?

I shed those thoughts and beliefs & realized this was the life I chose. Whether it be my life's path or just the simple choice to have Theo. 

He won't be carrying an unmet life I wanted to have or those emotional blocks because I worked through them. 

& That is why I believe I feel so good. So clean. So readily available with him. 

What a wild long strand of thoughts I had this morning. Ha!

Bottom line - no one wants to imprint these unconscious traumas onto their kids but to read in almost every system I've studied (even Waldorf & Montessori!!!) That this is possible in the 0-7 yo range... Well, its worth writing a blog at 7am for.

Mind blowing. 

Also!!!! Our Chakras!!!! 

During the 0-7th year our Root is forming. The mantra of that Root Chakra!!!!???? 

I CANT GROW FROM AN UNSTEADY FOUNDATION. (!!!!)

Please tell me you are blown away!? Haha all the systems... They overlap. I see this all the time. It's pretty fascinating!

So the question is my lovely reader - how will you take this stitching of thoughts? I'm ever so curious. 

XOXO
