Psychic Kids with Miss Betty Roberts
By Betty Roberts

Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow Children

Have you ever wondered are your children gifted? Are they psychic? What does this mean? More children are being born with heightened sensitivities than ever before. In this class, you can gain a better understanding of their gifts and how to support them.

Many children who are born with a strong psychic gift ask lots of questions. One group is called Indigos. These children are the warriors. Many are now diagnosed ADHD or ADD. We find they have a hard time in school. Perhaps a better name would be Attention Dialed into a Higher Dimension. Maybe ADD should be AWE-tistic. Are they clairsentience (psychic feelings)? Are they clairvoyance (psychic seeing)? Clairaudience (psychic hearing)? What about Crystal children? They have large eyes that seem wise beyond their years. Did your child talk late, maybe not until age 3-1/2 or 4 years old? Are they picky eaters? These are some of the traits of crystal children. Many may have many allergies. Rainbow and crystal children have never been on this earth before until now. They are heart centered. They are very telepathic. They are here to teach us the power of thought.

This was sent by a client who was also interested in attending the class on Psychic Kids at our Lansing Convention.

Psychic Ability 101: So What if Your Child is Clairsentient?
By Tana Hoy

People have always questioned every psychic ability, and they have many fears when this subject matter is brought to the table, most especially if their kids are involved. But frankly speaking, the psychic sphere is full of amazing things, and if you are open enough to the experience can be a journey which is beyond our imagination. A psychic ability is innate in all of us, although some persons exhibit a more strong symptom of having the gift than others.

Youngsters display very powerful symptoms of any psychic ability, and this is most symptomatic in their toddling stage, the age when we are most psychic. Psychic gifts in youngsters are very common. In reality, psychic children are often referred to as Indigo or Crystal children. There are numerous exceptional powers in the psychic realm. For kids, the three most popular abilities are telepathy, clairsentience, and clairvoyance. But generally speaking, indications of psychic abilities often connect, this is the reason why it may be hard to noticeably tell what certain type of special gift is bestowed upon a person.

So now you may question, should I be alarmed if my child shows symptoms of being psychic? Actually, no — there is practically nothing worrying about it; actually, children can benefit a lot from their psychic gifts, when these abilities are properly tuned.

Signs of these special gifts come in the simplest forms. This makes any psychic ability hardly recognizable, because they just appear as a normal scene in our everyday lives. Let us take a closer look at the psychic ability of being clairsentient in children.

By definition, the clairsentient psychic ability is also known as the gift of empathy. This means that a person with this psychic ability has the capability to sense, feel, and comprehend the physical emotions of others, including animals or even spirits.

Being an empath simply means knowing what others exactly feel, though they do not present it. Kids who show signs of having the psychic ability of empathy, are generally very sensitive towards others, animals, and even plants. Not just that, since they can also feel the emotions of others, you can often notice them crying when other little ones around them weep.

Empathy is said to be the most helpful and useful psychic ability for youngsters. Having kids grow as clairsentients, make them better individuals as they age. When kids are more aware of other people's feelings, they tend to have more sympathy for others — this allows them to work together better and be better with other individuals. Likewise, when a youngster becomes in tuned with another individual's feelings, they understand to deal with issues in a more positive form.

So what will you if the signs of the clairsentient psychic ability is apparent in your child, what will you do? Well, you need to do what any parent should do when their youngster has a exceptional gift — help the child feed the treasure.

Any psychic ability should by no means be feared of. A psychic ability is a good thing, and it should be taken cared of. Dealing with Crystal children is not much of a challenge. However, it all must begin first with the mother and father — that they should have belief in the ways of the psychic realm, and that they need to be encouraging in each step of the development of their children's psychic ability.

Michelle Moore's weight loss seminar is drawing lots of interest for the Lansing Cosmic Connections Convention! It's the first scheduled event on Friday so ask for the day off of work and come out for the entire weekend!

Nice Letters We Get

Dear Maria, I wanted to send a note to say Thank you for the reading you did for me and my husband last Friday in Minneapolis. It was enlightening and we were both so impressed with how we could relate to everything you said. As you mentioned, you talk fast and we were overwhelmed by the amount of information so were a bit unsure at the end as to what questions to ask. After we left we talked about all that you said. How our marriage could work, but it would have it's challenges. We are so aware of those challenges and your explainations helped us see how we could better work together or at least understand why our relationship is the way it is.

Thanks Maria! I really enjoy your work and listen in at KS95 in Minneapolis each week.

Regards,
Chris

Maria

Sorry I did not make it to the fair in Minny. My daughter came up from the Mankato area. I heard you on the radio this am and again I am still amazed!! Thanks again and I cant wait to see you guys all again this August in Minnesota. Congrats again to you and Joe and thanks for everything.

Renee

Maria,

Thank you for your thoughtful response in the 1 question readings order I placed the other day. I find it fascinating that you could hit on several key things. I was skeptical to see what you might say, but now am feeling like I wish I would have gone to your psychic fair over the weekend. I will be checking with your website on a full reading at some point.

Heidi

Maria,

I was able to attend your Friday daytime classes at your convention in Flint last fall. I have to say, all of the classes that I attended were awesome! I met great people and I learned so much, THANK YOU! It was very comforting to be in a room/group of like-minded people. If you have someone who is on the fence about spending the money or if it is a time commitment, tell him or her to just do it. I got so much out of it. I wished I had been able to stay for the evening and weekend, because I am sure it was fabulous!

I would like to pre-register for the Lansing CCC Saturday and Sunday classes (would love to come to the weight loss class on Friday, but have to work). I get paid on Friday, so let me know where to mail the check or if you take Visa.

Thanks so much!

Amanda

Dear Maria;

I just read your newsletter and see the conference in Lansing is coming around again. I can't wait. Me and my girlfriends come every year and enjoy it so much that we talk about it all the time. I love the speakers and especially the séance. Last year, my uncle, brother and mom all came through together. It was a heart-warming moment. We'll be signing up soon. Hold us a spot!

Jeanne and friends.

Maria - I wanted to tell you that the aventurine bracelet I ordered from you in December worked! I wore it to the casino and won a lot of money. Around $600! I put it back it though...bummer! But I did walk out with more than I came in with. I know next time to walk away from the machines when I am ahead but it did work!

Shannon

Editors Note: Wear the aventurine on your left wrist if you are right handed and the opposite if you are left-handed. Your dominant hand is your "giving hand" so you give something away with that hand. Your left (or dominant) hand is your receiving hand; you accept gifts with this hand. You don't want to give the money away but want to draw it in! You can order the aventurine bracelets at the website store.

Astro News - Uranus in Aries This next week: The Revolution of Consciousness
By Maria Shaw

The greatest revolution in history begins March 11th, 2011 with the planet Uranus going into fiery Aries. This is a special time that is being dubbed the Revolution of Consciousness. What is about to unfold is one of the most amazing periods, of not only our lifetimes, but of all lifetimes - and it starts this next week.

Powerful, higher-dimensional energy that has never before been felt on the Earth plane is on its way. This energy will immerse the planet, affecting an instant evolution of consciousness in the spiritually developed folks such as yourselves.

This new level of consciousness will help build a foundation for the acceptance of many dimensions and mainstream acceptance of spiritual beliefs and faith. Some astrologers are claiming people will believe in extraterrestrial life. This Uranus aspect is enough to create a global, paradigm shift.

People will accept new ways of thinking. There will be unique feelings in all us this day and beyond. This will be the start of new,

revolutionary advances in medicine, agriculture, communications, computer sciences, and more. Technology will transform the way we live and interact with one another forever.

Dr Szuson Wong Ph.D wrote this in a recent blog;

"The coming explosion in technology and innovation will spur levels of humanitarianism the world has never seen. A tremendous global movement to eradicate poverty, uplift the nations, and heal the ecosystems of the world will begin to manifest. Hundreds of millions of passionate, altruistic, like-minded souls will begin to connect, collaborate, and push projects to success that in years past would have never come to fruition.

I must warn that this astrological movement also signals the beginning of the greatest amount of political and economic turmoil the world has ever known. As a revolutionary spirit inflames the globe, we will experience wide-spread instability, manifesting in a variety of ways. The newly awakened society will begin to revolt in such massive ways that they will absolutely cripple 'the system.' First World nations will be swept with peaceful protests, sit-ins, and demonstrations while Third World nations will erupt with war-like violence. The world over, corrupt government agendas will come to a screeching halt by the will of the people.

Within the first year of this transit as people begin to awaken, it will become understood that the extraterrestrial elements that have been embedded deep in human society haven't been playing a positive role in our evolution as a civilization. This understanding will kindle a united, warrior-like attitude among global citizens that will serve as the most important driving factor in the coming revolution. Make no mistake that the power structure of Earth is currently 'operating from the shadows', but that the time of their authority has expired by Divine Decree and in perfect timing with Cosmic Order.

Intervention has and will continue to happen in strategic, surgical strikes that will ultimately lead to their defeat. This battle will be most intense during the summer months of 2012 as the planet Uranus squares the planet Pluto. By winter of 2012, it will become clear that humanity is free, After December 21st, 2012, as many of the world's most infamous prophecies come to a crossroads, mankind's Golden Age will finally commence.

An aspect of astrology that I find absolutely beautiful is that as events happen on a global or macrocosmic level, they also happen on a personal, microcosmic level - in exact synchronicity. This upcoming Uranus transit is no different, and soon we will all be going through our own personal revolutions, albeit in unique ways, all in accordance with God's Divine Plan for each of us. This is where the Sacred Science of Astrology can enlighten so brilliantly; it can identify the source and the expression of the coming revolutions in our lives, with mind-boggling accuracy.

On a cultural level people will start to openly embrace and seek out the profound wisdom of the Occult Sciences, which are rooted in the higher dimensional nature of existence. People will realize that there is a hidden, perfect order to creation. In times of great change, they will increasingly want to understand, at the deepest levels, exactly what their role is in this perfect symphony that they may navigate through the coming changes and manifest the highest outcomes. The best way to create personal security and abundance during the coming times will be identifying, accepting, and properly expressing one's personal revolutionary energy.

This personal revolution, which will manifest for many as the development of extraordinary, even Biblical-level spiritual and metaphysical gifts, will be the answer to all our present and future problems. It is up to each of us to totally embrace the shocking changes in order to fulfill our destinies in the coming global revolution. Those who succumb to fear and resist these changes will do so at their own peril. Those who embrace the changes will skyrocket to prominence and success. This can be a very frightening thought to entertain, which brings me to the significance of Uranus being in the constellation of Aries, the archetype of the warrior.

Attunement to archetypal energies is an extremely important concept to understand and integrate. In simplistic terms, one must 'vibe' with the virtues of the sign to manifest the greatest outcomes of the transit or placement. With Uranus being in Aries, we can manifest magnificence in our lives by cultivating and expressing bravery, confidence, fearlessness, independence, and novelty in the area of our life (and natal chart) where Aries energy lies. This is a time where a warrior will be born in all of us, though it's up to us to decide what to do with this new energy.

As this fiery, Uranian energy blasts through the collective consciousness, the values of people will be changed and elevated in an instant. The lust for the trivial will be transmuted into the yearning for spiritual and metaphysical talents. Materialism will be replaced by spiritualism. The so-called celebrities of today will fade into obscurity as a new breed of celebrities, deriving their power from spiritual development and humanitarian passion will be catapulted into the limelight. These will be the heroes and heroines of the New Age that is being birthed before our eyes."

Thank you Dr. Wong. Amazing energy and an amazing time to be alive. Many of you who are spiritually awakened will no doubt feel this shift coming and especially on March 11, Wear your moldavite you have bought from me on the website or at one of the shows. Moldavite is designed for times such as these in mind and help you with the frequency shifts since it compliments the shifts that are happening March 11.

I will be speaking more about this time period and how long the transit will last and what to expect this spring and summer at the shows around the country specially at the Cosmic Connections Convention later this month in Lansing.
