SHOULD CHILDREN AND TEENS JOIN IN ON A SEANCE?
The boundaries, which divide Life from Death
are at best shadowy and vague.
Who shall say where the one ends,
and where the other begins?
~ Edgar Allen Poe ~
I've been asked many times if I think children and younger teens should participate in a seance.
My answer is, no.
Some have argued that I am wrong.
What I can offer is my 50+ years of experiences with delivering messages from the so-called dead
and having conducted many spirit communication - seances and other kinds.
Why do I say no?
It isn't because the younger ones don't or can't communicate with the spirits of the dead, but because
they are so very sensitive to all surrounding them and are strongly impressionable, emotional,
innocent and naive to the impact of spirits - good, safe, bad and ugly.
This is not saying some adults aren't also, but young people have such an open energy and negative,
low-grade spirits are easily attracted to the innocents as they are also to the elderly who are ill
and frail.
Not so well-meaning spirits and entities also grab onto the gullible, and the overly emotional
persons who can’t or don't know how to protect their energy.
I do believe younger people's psychic impressions and experiences shouldn't be ignored or
denied.
When I gave Kids' ESP classes the students were very open and trusting and eager to share
theirexperiences. Listening, agreeing and guiding the kids to practical understanding was a lovely,
interesting and fun time.
I've years of experience and education with psychic phenomena and know first hand how
wonderful spirit communication can be and at the same time, know how dangerous certain
situations can be.
When on a ghost investigation or ghostly hunt people often bring"very aware" children.
Here I say "maybe, depends on the kid and location." If it's an easy ghost walk or a daytime
ghost event, that's okay.
On a rainy London night with my ten year old son I went on a ghost hunt. It began in a
graveyard then moved around the city with one stop in a pub's dang dark, basement with
a few old small jail cells.
My son was super tired from our long flight to England and not all that impressed, but
I was with the thrill of feeling ghostly energies.
Before we went I created a safety circle energy around both of us so neither would be
bothered or bring home an attachment (discussed in my book.) I've never been on a ghost hunt
where an attachment jumped onto my energy. Although, I have had two attachments.
But still kids can be so impressionable that afterwards can have nightmares and attract unwanted
spirits and ghosts taking them home. So, think before going on a ghost tour or hunt with your kids.
Below is one of many the questions from the curious living answered in in my book How To
Talk With Spirits: Mediums, Seances, Ghost Hunts available at all major bookselling sites.
Q: My teen daughter is very interested in communicating with spirits. Is it wise to let her go to
a séance with me?
A: I wouldn’t encourage people under eighteen to take part in a séance.
They “spook” too easily, are highly emotional and quite imaginative. Not that the same can’t
happen with adults. The most important reason is young people can attract pesky spirits––like
poltergeists. Children can, and do see spirits and ghosts more easily than most adults.
I have a grandson, eight years old at the time of publication showing signs for being a
gifted psychic with a strong tendency toward spirit communication. I advised him, “If you’re
going
to continue to communicate with the dead you mustn’t be frightened by them” as he is at times.
We work together to understand the different energies and spirits and how to manage the
types of communication he is age ready to experience. His has a rare situation with a
grandmother who can guide.
Without knowing your daughter, I would recommend a private session with a reputable
medium,
but not a séance at this time. Also, if she's interested in psychic development and perhaps has
already shown ESP abilities there are schools and books to assist in developing ESP positively.
Recommend Litany Burn’s Your Psychic Abilities, and for children,The Sixth Sense of Children.
If not these book I’m sure your search for a learning source will take you to the one best suited
for you interest.
