Back to the roots - IX
The 7 Master Chakras - IV
Nurturing the Child - II
If the parents, specially the mother, are prepared to give the love and care, as discussed in the previous post, in the first year, they will have provided the child the best possible potential for the rest of its life. The parents may have to disregard their priorities during this period. This is an dedication worth making.
If the child does not get love, care and support during this period, it loses the feeling of trust, security, shelter etc. It will start looking for these in external things, as it grows, to fill its emptiness - cuddly toys to start with, more toys and sweets as it becomes older, jewellery, fashion goods, cars as it turns into a teenager and adult.
In its second year, the child establishes contact with the second chakra, the Sacral chakra. During this period, the contents of Astral body where the past life experiences are accumulated, begin to assert. The child will begin to display emotions.
It is very important that parents do not force attitudes on the child now. If they do, the child will simply bottle up the emotions. It is much better to allow the child to vent out its emotions playfully and release negative baggage. If at this time the parents give messages to the child that it is not good enough, the child, to gain approval and love of his parents, will repress his emotions causing blockage in the Sacral chakra. As an adult the same child will resort to coarse sensual stimuli.
In the third year of the child, the Solar Plexus chakra comes into play. The child will start testing its individuality. It will start to say "No". A power conflict between the parents and the child tends to begin. Parents want to impose their will and the child starts to assert. This needs very careful management by the parents. If the child feels unaccepted, blockages develop in the third chakra.
Such a child will lack confidence and will be hesitant in listening to its own ideas. As an adult such a child will conform to the social norms and will not go out of the box. Also the adult will try to control his world.
That's it. The most crucial first three years of nurturing a child.
Namaste.
