When we are connected to the Divine we are in our element. As spiritual beings in human bodies we are tuned into the spiritual energy which is our true source of energy. Living our lives in human form causes a type of amnesia where we forget that this spiritual energy is available to us all the time. Since we have forgotten there are ways to awaken the spark of spiritual energy to empower ourselves and our children. Spiritual energy is inside everyone of us, spiritual energy is in all living things; plants and animals and water and the sky. Our Universe is full of spiritual energy, therefore we can tap into this energy in a variety of ways depending to what resonates with your heart.

If you are an earthy person and you love being outdoors in nature, use the garden as a place where you reconnect with the Divine. Involve the children, give them a seed to plant and assign them the responsibility of watering and tending to the seed to watch it grow strong and healthy. Use the seed as a symbol of how to behave in life. Suggest that in order to be happy we need to have strong connections (roots) to our Mother Earth, in order to grow strong and healthy we need to have a healthy mix of nutrients found in food as the plant does from the soil. In order to grow in to an upright and upstanding person they need to be placed in an environment where there are no toxins where they can connect with the sun (God) and to not lose the knowledge that when you are following the natural cause of life, you can never lose connection.

You can even plant a seed that is not in the best position, where there is sparse soil, water and sunlight. Watch the seed grow with the children. Use symbolic sight to show that even though the seed is not in favourable circumstances, it still grows, maybe not healthily maybe not in an upright posture, and maybe not strongly, but it seeks the light, twisting and turning searching for it's Source.

Make the experience fun, for joy is an indication that you are connected to the spiritual energy. When we are connected to Source then all feels light, and joyous. This is not to say that there will not be hardships in life, for example the unfortunate plant in the dark, but the joy of being alive of having an inner knowing that you are not alone, that all around us is this spiritual energy keeping us sustained, is a joyous thought.

If you are an intellectual, then you can use books and the information technology to help yourself and your children
