Protecting Psychic Children at Night

This year, I've noticed a dramatic increase in session bookings for children. Young kids are experiencing dark spirit disturbances at night, leading to nightmares, night terrors, and a fear of sleeping in their own rooms.

Dark spirits preying on children brings out the mama bear in me: I grew up a psychic child and know that what they're experiencing is a very real phenomenon. I also know that this kind of trauma can cause children to shut down their psychic abilities and lose trust in themselves.

Many people say that dark spirits feed off our "light" or "high vibrations," but I've found this to be incorrect: they feed off darkness. Remember the Universal law of "like attracts like"? It applies here, too. The more darkness there is, the more power these spirits derive from it.

You might be wondering, what kind of dark energy could a child possibly have? What could these spirits be feeding on?

The answer is one word: FEAR.

When they scare our kids, it generates the very energy they desire. It's a simple, awful cycle, and it needs to stop. We need our psychic kids—with their potent connection to nature, empathy, light, and higher dimensional consciousness, they are the dreamers who will help usher in a better future.

For those who have followed me for a long time, you know that one of my specialties is energy clearing and shielding. I had to become an expert in this to learn how to protect myself, and over the years, I've picked up many practices that actually work.

I know how demoralizing it feels when your child is distressed by a dark spirit and you don't know how to help. (This can apply to pets, too.)

In the spiritual community, you often hear people say, "Nothing can harm you unless you let it," or that simply telling a spirit, "You're not welcome here," will make it leave. But I’m going to tell you honestly that this seldom works.

A friend of mine calls this the equivalent of "bringing a breadstick to a sword fight.”: We're told we have divine authority, but not how to assert that authority. This is why you're left hanging in the middle of the night with a child who's afraid to go back to bed.

While I can't train you to clear or repel these things in a single blog post, I can give you tips to ward your child and their room against dark spirits so you can protect them.

8 Simple Steps to Protect Your Child

Regular Space Clearing

Do this weekly, focusing on your child's room.

(Note: To clear energy effectively, you often need to clear clutter and physically clean the space as well.)

I don't recommend burning sage; in my professional experience, it's becoming less effective.

Instead, burn frankincense resin, which has a very high frequency and is more universally successful against dark spirits.

Wear Red to Bed

Wearing the color red for protection is an ancient practice. Look at the ceremonial clothes of most cultures throughout history, and you'll find an article of red clothing or an accessory. Have your child wear something red to bed every night. Red bed linens can also work.

Keep a Light On

A Himalayan salt or selenite lamp is ideal, but a dim bedside table lamp or even a nightlight will do. Beyond the psychological comfort light provides, it is also an electromagnetic wave that can disrupt or dispel dark energy. The ionization from a salt lamp helps create an energetic space that can repel dark energy.

Ancestral Protection

After clearing the space for a friend's grandson, I suggested she keep an object from his great-grandmother, who had recently passed, in his room. His great-grandmother had loved him dearly and could now watch over him from the other side. My friend, who is crafty, made her mother's shirt into a pillowcase for her grandson to sleep with. He hasn't had a problem since. It doesn't have to be something they sleep with; even an object on the bedside table can work.

The Flower of Life Symbol

Almost without fail, I place a Flower of Life symbol under the child's bed during a space clearing. (Most of my space clearings are remote, so this pattern is established etherically with crystalline energy but a printed pattern will work, too.) My guides have taught me that the Flower of Life acts like an energetic net that keeps dark energy from moving through it. You can place this symbol under your child’s bed and in the closet—it's true, dark spirits tend to hide in both of these places, just like our monster stories depict!

Crystals

I recommend placing these crystals under pillows, on bedside tables, under the bed, or even for your child to wear at night if it's safe and comfortable for them to do so:

• Selenite

• Celestite

• Rose Quartz

• Black Tourmaline

• Rainbow Obsidian

• Healer’s Gold

• Labradorite

• Fluorite

• Spirit Quartz (pictured)

Call in Their Dragon

Every soul is partnered with a dragon guardian, and so children are no different. Some of my clients have told me their child is already aware of their dragon, but even if they aren't, they are generally open to working with one, especially when they know it can protect them.

I recently advised a client to suggest that her child "call in his dragon to eat the 'dark bullies' (what they called the dark spirits he was seeing) and then fart it out." Yes, you read that correctly, LOL! But my own dragon does this all the time, so I know it works. Once a child starts calling in their dragon and knows it's there to protect them, it can be a game changer for them.

Please Listen to Your Child

The most important tip is to listen to your child and honor what they're feeling. Don't leave them to cope alone or tell them they're just imagining things. Also, don't tell them they just need to tell the spirits to go away—again, this usually doesn't work. Your child needs to be heard, and needs to know you are on their side and willing to help so that they’re not faced with coping on their own.

I've used all these methods for my own protection and suggested them to many parents over the years; they work.

However, if you try all of this and the problem persists, it likely means there are energetics in your space that need to be professionally resolved. (Please note that I cannot tune into your space or offer personalized advice in the comments. You will need to book an appointment).

If you’re interested in learning advanced energy clearing skills I can recommend my "Dragon Lore" spiritual healing quest, which teaches you how to call in dragon guardians and channel their energy to clear dark spirits permanently.

The Bottom Line

I have a few theories as to why this activity has increased over the years, but at the end of the day, what matters is that we support our psychic children and help them grow into their gifts and their sovereignty. The more they understand that their power is real, the more they can use it to shape a better world--and the better we'll ALL sleep at night.
