7 Keys To Law of Attraction Living For Kids


(Photo contribution: Wise Owl; left painting by 7-year-old Hui and right painting by 5-year-old Min)
Just imagine how powerful kids can be in applying the law of attraction, if they are given the right guidance in manifesting, as well as a chance to develop their creative, intuition and visualization skills! One of the loveliest things we can do for our kids is to hand them the keys to living a more empowered life.


What is great is that kids already have some attributes innate in them for applying the Universal Law: a sense of curiosity, living in the Now, creative, a vivid sense of imagination, knowing how to ask for what they want and going after the things that bring them joy and bliss. In my last post, I shared about “it is good to feel good”, a quote by Abraham Hicks. Kids naturally embody this saying. Kids also come with a lot less accumulated junk in negative thoughts and beliefs compared to adults. They may just do a better job than us adults!

Here are some of the keys to living The Law of Attraction that my kids are exposed to…

1. Develop Imagination To Creating Dreams. At the heart of the law of attraction lies in the belief that dreams do come true. Dreams require imagination. It would be a great idea to help our kids nurture their imaginative and creative abilities. My kids are encouraged to explore theirs, in a number of ways and always according to their interests.

Min, my younger girl, has a love for art. Additionally, she shows great potential in story telling. She loves to spin stories out of her head. Her stories can go on and on without a full stop. Her hand drawn pictures are intricate and often in a story-book form. I am continually astounded by what she comes up with. She notices every small detail and puts them into her pictures. If she is not allowed her creative space everyday, she bites!!


 

Hui, my elder daughter, shares her sister’s love for art. She also enjoys playing the violin and has a natural talent in ballet. She has also started blogging and is receiving secret training on the side by her blogger mom!!

2. Visualize The Life Desired. Both my kids surprised me one day with drawings of their dream houses. They got their ideas from the many family discussions about how they would like to live. When I did my vision board, I got them to help me in my art piece. We had a fun time cut and paste the pictures together and discussing about our idea of a dream home.

3. Emotionally Clear Unwanted Thoughts.
Both my kids love the “tap-tap” (their pet-name for emotional freedom technique or otherwise know as EFT). They enjoy having their parents use EFT to tap their blues away. EFT surrogate tapping is also something that has produced very good results with my kids.

4. Make Prayer Requests. My kids are learning how to make prayer requests. Well, Min was looking forward to a birthday party that took place yesterday afternoon. However, she woke up feeling slightly feverish. In addition to using EFT to tap her in the morning, I showed her how to make a prayer request that she be healed by 2pm. Note that no drugs were given to her as my intuition told me that she did not need any. On all accounts, it did not appear that she would recover. I was also getting concerned that she might end up feeling very disappointed about not being able to attend. But hey…she did recover!! By 2:05 pm, the decision was clear. She still had a sore throat but was well enough to attend! No fever!! As of the whole of today (Monday), she continues to show no signs of coming down with one.


 

5. Be Happy. Kids naturally move towards the things that make them happy. We don’t even need to teach them do this. My kids are really happy when they go outdoors. The picture on the left is taken just two week ago!!

6. Live In Gratitude.
My kids may not be the richest kids in their popular school but they do have a cupboard full of toys and get to enjoy a lot of nice things. They know that complaints are not appreciated in the house. Instead, they are encouraged to express their gratitude for what they have.

7. Spend Time In Meditation. When night falls, it is time to wind down. My girls would sometimes sit quietly to their favorite meditative music. I whipped up my video camera a few weeks ago when I found them in the bedroom meditating, without any of my prompting to do so. Listen for the “Om” towards the end of the clip.



Your Comments Please

Do you start your kids young on learning about intention and manifestations? Are there certain activities that your kids do that nurture their sense of creativity, imagination or thought awareness? Do share which are these.

Your daughters are beautiful. I don’t have children, but my interest in spirituality came late in life, after I developed a life-threatening illness, so I don’t have an answer as to whether I’d raise them with that in mind.

Tim Brownson - November 10, 2008

The kids are brilliant!

One of my dreams Evelyn is to influence Government around education. It seems insane to me that we teach kids all sorts of stuff they’ll never need, but don’t bother with things like positive thinking, how to breath properly and how to visualize!

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

@Dot, thanks for the nice compliment. It sure takes a big event to give us the jolt sometimes to not ignore spirituality. I also started late in knowing much of the stuff that I am teaching my kids now. My kids are the lucky ones!! Hopefully they will use what they are taught wisely and to help others as well.

@Tim, you’ve got a good dream! It’s the same for schools here in Singapore. Most of the stuff that I mentioned here in this post did not come from their school. Although I’ve chosen a school for them that helps them with confidence building; things like visualization and meditation are missed out. I also teach my kids NLP techniques for empowerment. It’ll be interesting to see how they turn out.

Vincent - November 11, 2008

Hi Evelyn,

Erm… I’m the youngest in my family, I don’t know whether my parent still consider me as a kid? =)

But I would say that my parent don’t teach me things like being more creative or developing awareness.

I totally agree with Tim. I always think about how do I apply calculus and derivatives into my life and till now I still can’t find the answer. Maybe someone can help me here =)

Cheers

Holy crap, your kids are cute! And they paint good owls too. Where are your and your husband’s owls for comparison? You’d have the advantage of Photoshop, so you could create an owl having an out-of-body experience.

Vincent, derivatives are very useful in real life. If you fall off a cliff, and you know your position function, and you want to calculate your velocity function before you die, how will you do that without using derivatives?

Robin Easton - November 11, 2008

What a lovely post full of soothing and easily do-able actions. I love it. Also loved the photo and video of your girls. They are just adorable and so earnest. Meditating without you asking is so precious!!! 🙂

Vered - MomGrind - November 11, 2008

I’m teaching my kids about being positive and grateful and about the power of positive thinking to make our life better. But since I don’t believe in manifestation, I don’t teach them that. 🙂

Lance - November 11, 2008

Evelyn, I just can’t help but agree with what everyone else has been saying – your kids are adorable!! And artistic – I love the owl pictures.

I’m amazed at how well children can really make the best of a situation, how they use their creativity to have fun. Just this weekend, we were out working in our yard (well, me and my two sons – my wife and daughter went shopping…probably for lipstick!!). So, we were raking leaves, mulching them up – and the weather was just getting more and more worse – from cold to rain, to sleet, to snow, and then more rain again. And, they were getting wet – but they were making a game of it – chasing each other, laughing, jumping into leaf piles. We came in completely soaked and frozen – and yet, it was so much fun! Because they creatively made it so. I would have headed in sooner – not thinking of how to make “lemonade out of lemons” – but they did. In true kid style.

That you have your kids really focusing on their spirituality is really so awesome Evelyn. We are working on that, and sometimes I think we’re getting there, and sometimes I think we’re just going through the motions. We’ll continue, and hopefully it develops in them a strong sense of who they are and what life is all about…

So, hearing your stories, this helps me in my faith – faith that we’re doing the right thing. Faith that this is important. Faith that is unwavering…

Matthew Dryden - November 11, 2008

I think the thing that amazes me the most about my son is that he is so damned curious, and great at mimicking and understanding things. I am often very surprised at how much he understands. I just taught him the finger mustache the other day. Amusing!

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

@Vincent, I guess a lot of parents do not realize how important developing creativity and awareness is. The emphasis is on academic qualifications more than anything else. Hunter has a good explanation on how to apply calculus and derivatives….LOL!!

@Hunter, an owl with an out-of-body experience? I must say that you have a great sense of imagination!!

I wish I had you as my Maths teacher. I took Further Mathematics when I was 17-18 years old but throughout my whole year of study, I was copying answers from my male classmates when handing in homework. I just could not understand the complex problems. Then, to my utter amazement, I got an “A” in the Cambridge Exams. I don’t know how I did it. But most certainly, after the exams, I never used what I learned in real life!

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

@Robin, thank you so much for your kind compliments. Sometimes I do feel as if my messages are not getting through to my kids but they have a way of springing a surprise at me ever now and then.

@Vered, I think you’d make a wonderful role model on positivity. Having a positive attitude is the first step to success in life. Most certainly, teach your kids what you believe in!

Irene | Light Beckons - November 11, 2008

Hi Evelyn,

Kids really do teach us a lot on how to LIVE life, don’t they? 😉 I feel the “keys” are already in them (as they are already in us – but as adults we probably have to dig deeper to find them!) and all we need to do is encourage them to keep using the keys, and not to forget them ever. My kids remind me, through their own examples, that I’m missing a few of my own life keys and that I’ve gotta go find them quick!

Cath Lawson - November 11, 2008

Hi Evelyn – This is amazing. I was just thinking today that it would be great to come up with interesting ways to teach kids about the Law of Attraction. And I arrive at your blog and you have the answer.

Now that definitely is the Law of Attraction working. And I’ll be trying out these ideas with my kids. Your two girls are so cute by the way.

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

Lance, I enjoy reading about your family. They sound like a great fun loving bunch!!

I know how it feels like about going through the motions. I sometimes wonder too if my kids understand totally what I say or mean when I talk to them about being peaceful or feeling grateful.

But when you least expect it, they surprise us!! As mentioned in my post, I was amazed when my kids actually put on some meditation music by themselves and sat down to meditate. I did not ask them to.

Love & light,
Evelyn

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

@Matthew, indeed our kids learn from us the most. We are the role models for them. It can be really amusing when they echo the things we say and we realize that all that spew were actually learned from us…LOL!!

@Irene, yes…kids can teach us a ton of lessons themselves. They are my teachers as much as they are my students.

@Cath, hmmm…I’ve been thinking of writing this post for some time. Maybe the asking in your thoughts has created an energetic impulse in the form of a nudge to me…LOL!! Thanks for the compliments – my kids are really a treasure!

Stacey / Create a Balance - November 11, 2008

Watching your girls meditate was amazing. Thank you for sharing. I’m wondering now if I can introduce meditation to my almost 5 year old son. Maybe we can meditate together every night. I’m so excited about this idea. Thank You!!!

Marelisa - November 11, 2008

Hi Evelyn: You’re teaching your kids meditation, EFT, the Law of Attraction, wow, what an awesome mom! And your daughters are adorable, I love that meditation tape 🙂

Steve C @ MyWifeQuitHerJob.com - November 11, 2008

Hi Evelyn,

Your kids are super cute! Playing with my little daughter reminds me how simple things can be. She basically gets to sleep, play and discover new things everyday. And she’s almost always happy too! Love the meditation video!

Davina - November 11, 2008

Hi Evelyn. I don’t have children but you are obviously proud of yours, and rightly so. They are adorable. I LOVE their artwork of the owls at the top of this post!

Andrea Hess|Empowered Soul - November 11, 2008

I love that your kids meditate! My three-year-old daughter surprised me the other day – she sat down, closed her eyes and announced she was meditating. It lasted for all of thirty seconds, but it was so cute! I had no idea she was even aware of my meditation practice … it’s great how they learn by example.

I hope that, with a little encouragement, my daughter will grow up to trust her intuition and inner wisdom. I remember when my mom began on her path of spiritual development, she was kind of embarassed and didn’t really talk about it. I’m very open with my girl – I figure that way she’ll always be comfortable in communicating with the spiritual realm.

Great article!
Blessings,
Andrea

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

@Stacey, of course you can introduce meditation to your son. Yes, meditate together. I tried out two methods. One is to just sit in silence. The other is to a healing meditation music (the one in the video).

@Marelisa, my elder daughter was introduced EFT at the age of 5-6 years old. They can do EFT themselves but they very much prefer the technique to be applied on them. My guess is that they find it a very nurturing act.

I don’t use the term like “law of attraction” for a start…I just explain the concept of how important it is to have positive thoughts to attract positive outcomes. Most of our discussions including angels and all take place before bedtime.

Some form of spiritual grounding is also important. My kids have also been introduced Buddhist concepts, including meditation, some time ago.

Evelyn - November 11, 2008

@Steve, we sure can learn a lot about keeping things simple from our kids. It’s fun to be around kids as they are almost always happy!! Thanks for the nice compliments about my kids!

@Davina, I love my kids, even with their quirks and all, to bits. They may drive me nuts sometimes but they’ve taught me a lot about love. Thanks – I’ll let them know that you like their paintings. They’d be absolutely thrilled!

@Andrea, kids observe us more than we ever know. I’m sure that your girl must have looked quite a darling sitting with her eyes closed in meditation. It’s also great to know that you are open with her about your practice. There is really nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of. I figured that it is also important to teach my kids a diplomatic way of responding to their friends in terms of religion and spiritual beliefs.

Pink Ink - November 11, 2008

Your daughters are beautiful, and their art is amazing!

I am constantly learning from my kids as well. They are masters of living life to the fullest.

Vincent - November 11, 2008

Hunter, that is a good one haha. I better stay away from the cliffs.

Hi Evelyn, everyone’s right, you do have 2 beautiful girls. Although you may have started late knowing the stuffs, it came timely for your daughters. How true, they are the lucky ones.

I have a 17-year-old son and I wish I had dicovered the Law of Attraction much earlier. I believe I may have done some damage to my son’s Vibrational Bubble. No regrets though. He is still half-kid and half-man and I do not think reconditioning would be difficult. Your tips will still be useful for this ‘man-not-yet-a-man’ person.

Jenny Mannion - November 12, 2008

Hi Evelyn,
Your girls are beautiful! I am a strong believer in teaching kids the Law of Attraction from a young age. I found Wayne Dyer’s books, “Incredible You and Unstoppable Me” awesome for getting the ideas across. My son changed as I healed and changed and just got a fantastic review from his teacher about his positivity and feelings and actions towards others. When I applauded him on it he said “well my mom DOES study the law of attraction”. If my son hears my daughter saying “I can’t” he quickly tells her to turn it around and say “I can” if she wants it to happen…. They do “get it” and my daughter loves to meditate and will sit and do it ANYWHERE if we have a wait in line or if it is too loud… I could learn a few things from her! Thank you for sharing this! Gratefully, Jenny

SpaceAgeSage -- Lori - November 12, 2008

Beautiful kids, owls, and parenting! You’re amazing to start them so early, so creatively, and so consistently. What a better world they will be able to create! Those owls are so full of life — far better than the stick figures I might come up with!

Evelyn - November 12, 2008

@Pink Ink, it’s great that you are learning from your kids too!! They can teach us so much!

@Wendy, for sure it’s never too late for a person to learn about setting intentions and manifestations!! All the best with your son!! Also, thanks for the lovely compliments about my kids.

@Jenny, it’s so nice to see the transformation in our kids. It’s lovely that your son has made a positive change and understand how the law of attraction works. Being able to meditate anywhere at any time is definitely something that I can learn from your daughter too!!

@Lori, I suspect that kids are far more able that we think they are. Honestly, at that same age, I doubt I was that imaginative or creative myself!!

J.D. Meier - November 12, 2008

I love your focus on imagination. That’s the juice of life. I think everybody has creativity in them. It’s just a matter of nurture. Some people learn to crank the dial way up, while others learn to turn it down. I like when people unleash their best and become something more. Imagination is a catalyst and dreams can be dry runs of the future.

Frank Schulte-Ladbeck - November 12, 2008

Good ideas to employ with children. I frequently take my children to events where they can speak with local artists. They ask questions about how a piece was created, and then they incorporate that into what they do. Better works are displayed around the house alongside pieces that I have collected, which makes them feel important, which in turn encourages them to explore this side more.

Melissa - November 12, 2008

I agree with everyone…your girls are adorable and you are a great mom! I know that trying to put myself back into my childhood has always been helpful for me to get in touch with who I really am and what my true passions are. It also has helped me so much as a mom.

I also agree that teaching our children these principles should be as organic as teaching them how to cross a street. It’s all part of the raising of a child. I so thrilled when Gracie now turns the tables on me and says something that I have taught her such as, “It’s okay to be angry mommy, we all get angry. I understand and I love you.” Just blows my mind!

Evelyn - November 13, 2008

@J.D. Meier, you’ve expressed it so beautifully “Imagination is a catalyst and dreams can be dry runs of the future”…love it!! I sure like the idea of challenging my kids. They can be stimulated more to think creatively and beyond normal boundaries.

@Frank, what a great idea about stimulating your children’s interest! It’s the little extras that make the difference. They’ll realize one day, if they haven’t already done so, how you’ve opened up the world for them.

@Melissa, funnily I don’t feel as if I’m a great mom or anything. I just know that these are the things I want to impart to my kids. But thanks anyway for your gracious compliments!

Gracie sounds lovely and very wise. How old is she?

Kelly@SHE-POWER - November 13, 2008

Evelyn, this post was beautiful. Thank you for giving us an insight into your children’s world. Bunny does yoga, or what he calls his exercises, with me and my mum and sometimes the serious expression on his face makes me laugh. He’s also a story teller and uses his expansive Thomas train set to recreate his own stories of what his trains are up to. he uses all different voices and I love hiding in the hall and listening to him.

I’m starting to teach him the notion that he can choose how to feel and what to focus on and I look forward to the coming years when I can continue to teach him about life and gratitude and the importance of love, integrity and the law of attraction.

Kelly 🙂

Maya - November 13, 2008

Hi Evelyn,
Wonderful kids. You have done so well!
I have 2 girls too – they are really little now, but my 2 year old loves to draw, read and listen to music. She has become quite a storyteller off late.
The learn so much from what we are – I try my best to teach by example. Your post is a wonderful reminder about what all I can do 🙂

Dene Brock - November 18, 2008

What a wonderful article! I have two children and they are learning about the law of attraction. My 8 year old son practices techniques like EFT when he is feeling fearful or tense. Both my son and my 4 year old daughter use guided imagery and vision boards. It’s just a way of life to them now, which I think will pay off dearly as they explore their true passions in life.

Diane - November 22, 2008

I just love this post! Beautiful! Kids are so naturally it!
My kids are pretty much grown up. So to all your questions I’ll say yes. I think encouraging them in their talents is great. My one son has always been a natural at all of it.. Sees and acts and it happens… at least most of the time. But of all the things that need nurturing I think its confidence. Especially when it doesn’t happen on time.

Diane - November 22, 2008

To Vincent,

Sometimes its the deepening of learning that occurs through the process of learning especially calculus that adds depth to ones life here and now and later. And ya never know when it may become even more useful…

Tim and Evelyn and all,
I too have a personal feeling about schools not teaching to childrens true inner genius. I noticed how many kids changed, maybe the words closed up happened at different levels in education. I taught art K-6. It was interesting to follow them and notice all that they went through. Art tells alot.

Dana - January 22, 2009

A few months back I put a posting up on Craigslist to see how many people would be interested in a school that taught children the power of positive thinking. Especialy for those with learning disabilities. I want to teach them how to focus on their special abilities rather than their disabilities. I was amazed at the response! Once I put it out there, things started happening at lightning speed! Now I have been asked to take over a school that is in financial need. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about raising funds for the school? It has a lot of needs and I would like to create a stress free environment for these children where they can meditate and communicate.I also need special curriculum. Any suggestions you have are welcome. I need all the help I can get.
