AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING (EARLY 2003), THERE ARE VERY FEW, if any, pure Crystal Children on earth. However, there are a number of what we are calling Crystal Elders who have, in some cases, been here for decades to test the waters, anchor the new energies and plant the seeds for those to follow. In recent years, children are being born with higher and higher vibrations, but the density of earth has been very difficult for them. It is from these early transitional children that we have been able to gather the information that will help parents know what works to keep their children comfortable in their bodies.

Keep in mind that the New Children are extremely sensitive, to the point of being vulnerable, to many things including electromagnetic frequencies (EMF's), chemicals, sounds, smells, negative emotions (especially fear and anger), certain foods, molds and mildews and disharmonious colors, to name a few. It also appears that high vibration individuals consciously exist in more than one dimension. If these individuals are traumatized or the world is too painful for them, they leave this dimension and some do not return, at least not yet. These children are being labeled autistic, and we have seen a dramatic increase in autism in recent years. As the earth and the rest of its inhabitants evolve, perhaps we will “find” these children in the world in which they have their consciousness. That remains to be seen. In the meantime, we have created some guidelines that can be beneficial for parents and other caretakers to follow in order for the children to be more at ease. Every child is different, so a wise parent takes his cue from observing the child to see how she responds in different situations. When the child can talk, ask questions, as these children truly know what feels good and what is best for them in most instances.

My personal belief is that there is no greater gift that a parent can give their child than to always hold the highest thought about this child while helping to personally empower her. Sometimes the trick is in knowing what the highest thought ought to be. You can never go wrong if you see, feel and know your child to be healthy, happy, fulfilled, independent, creating her own divine purpose on this planet by doing exactly what is perfect for her. Refrain from seeing her as damaged or as a victim. Remind her often that she is a powerful child of God with all the help she needs to have exactly the life that she wants. Let her know daily that she is dearly loved, not only by you, but also by the entire universe. Empower her by encouraging her to use her own inner knowingness, by supporting her in making use of the abilities that she is born with. If she loses something, you might suggest that she ask herself inside where it is. Many of the New Children will be born with what others will think of as awesome abilities of seeing, healing, creating and knowing. While allowing your child to use these God-given abilities, take care not to ever ask her to perform for others. If you are observant, you will know just how to proceed. If you get confused or scared, as all of us in human form do, ask your own divinity as well as that of the child, to guide you.

If you are reading this and you are involved with the New Children, you are right where you are supposed to be. These children are a reflection of you, for they could not be if not for you and others like yourself. So, until Planet Earth has evolved to a less dense, more peaceful and harmonious place to live, we must all take care to create a space for these children. By doing this, we are all fulfilling our highest destiny by evolving into a species of love, peace, joy and wonder, which are the attributes that these children are bringing in the coming years.

For the most part, I believe that the Children of the Crystal Vibration, at least in the next few years, will be born to parents of a high vibration. It just makes sense that the mother's body must be made ready to even carry such a child. Keeping that in mind, if you are considering having a child, prepare yourself and be as healthy as you can be. Do you inner work, so you are relatively peaceful, serene, free of worry and in balance. Spend some time thinking about the kind of world that you would like your children to live in. What do you want for your child? What every parent wants, right? For them to have all the tools they need to create the life they want and to know how to love and be fulfilled.

When you are ready to have children or in the beginning of the pregnancy, don't be surprised if the “Spirit” of the child contacts you. We have heard many stories about communication between mother and child, communication about names and other useful information either telepathically or in the dream state. These children are often telling their parents about themselves before they are even born.

Birthing
Remembering the profound sensitivity of the New Children, do all you can to create a calm, loving birthing experience. Many are choosing home births, which can include several family members, candles, your favorite scents, special music, massage, even a bathing ritual. We have heard of some parents who are choosing water births, which seem a wonderful choice if at all possible. Even more rare, we are hearing of those who are able to birth with the dolphins. (There appears to be a unique connection between the New Children and the cetaceans.)

At the very least, you can insist upon low lighting, a minimum of noise, a gentle birth with a minimum of drugs, keeping in mind that many children have sensitivity to chemical substances.

Soon after birth, both the mother and the child have been finding it most beneficial to avail themselves of massage or other forms of energy work such as Reiki, EMF Balancing Technique, cranio-sacral healing or even chiropractic. There are a growing number of chiropractic practitioners who work with the newborn to see if there are any adjustments necessary as a result of the birth process. In Seattle I have heard that there is a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal and postnatal care, so I am sure these healers are around if you ask. Let's start our children off perfectly balanced as they come into this world.

Feeding and Nutrition
Food sensitivities and allergies are quite common in children, so it would be wise whenever possible to:

• breastfeed, preferably until the child signals to stop
• introduce new foods one at a time with at least a week between each new food in order to see if the child has any reaction such as mucous, gas, diarrhea or rash. There is no need to be in a rush introducing solid food
• pure and organic foods
• pure water
• monitor closely the intake of sodas, sugars, refined foods to see their effects on the child
• many of the new children are natural vegetarians
• blue green algae and spirulina seem to be very beneficial
• avoid chemicals, dyes, hormones as much as possible

Medicines and inoculations
It is our understanding that more and more, children have reactions to medicinal substances, especially vaccinations, such as the MMR vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella. Some cannot tolerate these substances at all, and others must have a lesser dosage of even something like children's aspirin. These substances were developed for children with a different makeup, so if you feel you must use medicinals, at the very least, have some ritual around them. By that I mean, bless them and ask the angels as well as the child's guides to help harmonize the substance with the systems of the child.

With regards to inoculations, you might consult with a naturopathic physician about what the alternatives are. There is a growing concern about the hazards or benefits of inoculations at this time. Many believe that the above-mentioned MMR vaccination causes, or is at least a contributing factor to autism, so do some research. You can find a plethora of information online.

You might have more success with homeopathics, herbs and other natural substances for health and well being. As mentioned above, these children respond well to massage and other forms of gentle, noninvasive healing modalities. One mother told me that she mixes lavender essential oil with a vegetable oil and massages her child, which is very calming and relaxing.

Already now, and more often in the future, these children will simply heal themselves when they break a bone and probably just simply will not become ill. Don't be surprised when healing happens from their touch after they ask permission.
