Grandparents and Spirit Babies by Christine Nightingale, B.A. (Psychology) Reiki Master, Certified Hypnotist, Aromatherapist, Spirit Baby Communicator What I was told by parents, over decades as a teacher, is that the grandparents helped care for the kids, and were very loving, but spoiled the children with candy and let them get away with things. What I was told by children, over the same time period, is that their grandparents always had time to play and have fun, and did not judge them, and always made them feel loved. What I learned when I became a grandparent was something no one had ever told me. You love your grandchildren just as much as you love your children. But you have more patience and wisdom now, you put things into a larger perspective. You know that the moments of childhood are very precious and fleeting, and that most of the things parents fret about are not as important as they think. What is important is the love, and the ways love finds to last forever. A young mother lost a one–month old child. Within the year she had a daughter. Twenty-eight years later, her daughter gave birth to a son. The grandmother often (in a Freudian slip) referred to her young grandson as her son, and he was the favourite among her grandchildren. The grandson was the only one who chose to spend his university years living with his grandmother, and so he became the last person with whom she developed a strong connection before she developed Alzheimers. What did that grandmother unconsciously know? Another mother had a stillborn daughter who she named Caroline, followed by a healthy daughter she named Cathy. Cathy eventually gave birth to a daughter and named her Caroline. Upon first seeing the new baby Cathy’s mother burst into tears and said, "She looks exactly like my Caroline." What did mom and grandma both understand, even if it was only at an intuitive level? A great grandma, almost 90, was worried that her great grandson, a shy child of 6, was lonely without a sibling. She kept telling her grandson that he and his wife should have another child. When the young woman got pregnant, Great Grandma took to calling her Little Mother. Very soon thereafter Great Grandma passed. That night her daughter-in- law had a dream of an old husk of a queen bee, with a new young queen bee emerging out of it. After the new little girl was born everyone remarked on how much her personality resembled that of her great-grandma. She had been a very proper British lady with all her clothes, shoes, handbag, carefully sorted and matched. The little girl, by the age of 6 months, was expressing definite opinions about what she was willing to wear, and she had a special affinity to shoes. Her mom, who was of Hindu background, was quite sure that Great Grandma had arranged to come back to her own family... deciding in advance of her passing who her parents would be! (Spirit babies need to attach to a body by 7 weeks. However it sometimes occurs that the incumbent is asked to move over as another Spirit Baby has a stronger claim.) A bereaved mother in trance connected with her Spirit Baby and asked him, “Was there anyone there to greet you?” The message she got was “My father was there... I just see myself with him... a child holding his hand ... they seem to be happy ... Father’s touching his head... Baby is looking at my father... I feel a warm hand on my hand... my father always had warm hands. My message to my father... Thank you. I miss you. It’s good to know you’re there with him." A mother in trance asked her future child, “Do you have a previous connection with mommy? Her child told her, "Yes. I was your grandfather... your mommy’s daddy... I passed young, before you were born.” My beloved Aunt Corrie told me, “Love is the only thing that matters.” In all these examples the ties of love were stronger than death. The unfinished business between souls will always find a chance to be completed. Christine Nightingale, B.A (Psychology), Reiki Master, Certified Hypnotist, Aromatherapist, Spirit Baby communicator. My focus is helping mothers learn to communicate with their Spirit Babies (future children) after miscarriage or before conception, which is often followed by successful conception.
