The imagination and creativity of a child is a precious gift. Paul Collard is the CEO of Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE), a UK-based organization funded by government “to unlock the creative potential of children and young people, in order to prepare them for success in the creative economy of the 21st century.”
Paul explains, “Creativity is … being able to make good ideas happen.” This is key because creativity and culture are drivers of social and economic change.
A recent project of CCE was assisting a group of children in London purchase a new classroom for their school campus – a nonoperational, full-sizedpassenger airplane! The children came up with the idea, negotiated the plane’s purchase, designed the interior with David Beckham’s personal plane designer, and wrote letters to council for permission to park it on school grounds.

ncouraging our children to imagine, to play, to think outside the box, we are instilling within them the knowing that their contribution to the world is valuable and essential. This confidence goes on to create talented individuals who will confidently go out and peruse their dreams.
Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis, two accomplished metaphysical teachers and authors, advocate the early spiritual education of our children to nurture their creativity, emphasizing that kids learn by example.
Dimitri shares the story, “Barbara and I were teaching the basic principles of metaphysics to young children, ages 6 to 14, who were studying to be actors in major motion picture films. At one point Barbara shared with the children that talent shows up in the aura as a brilliant electric blue. The next day the children came to class and everyone was wearing blue – they got it!”
Introducing your kids gently to metaphysics is ideal, remembering that children are adult souls in a child’s body. While Barbara and Dimitri recommend waiting until the age of twelve to introduce your child to meditation, exposing them to spiritual principles can be fun, and you may be surprised by how quickly they catch on!
A great way to work with the light with kids is to use creative visualizations, such as encouraging them to envision themselves surrounded in a golden bubble for protection, or seeing themselves cloaked in pink light for love. You can also play creative games to teach your children about the divine light.
By sharing the light work with your children not only are you nurturing their natural ability to be creative, you are also watering the seeds of their innate spirituality.

The very words are exciting and uplifting. We are all looking for more joy and happiness in our lives. Yet, from the spiritual perspective, joy and happiness are not the same things! Joy is of the spirit while happiness is part of our human experience. You might say that happiness is a stepping stone to joy. Happiness is a reaction to positive experiences in your life. When something goes well, naturally you feel happy – and rightfully so. Yet at the same time, you must remember that happiness is conditional. What can make you happy one minute can make you sad the next. If you have the things you want, you are happy. If you don’t, you can be sad or despondent.
Joy, on the other hand, is not dependent on any external conditions. Joy is a perpetual condition of the spirit. When you are in your true joy state, you can be joyful even when physical conditions are terrible. You can express joy at any time because you can always tap into your spiritual life. In the aura, happiness is seen as a light pink energy while joy is seen as a richer, almost fuschia pink.
Most people who are spiritually minded understand and express gratitude. When it comes to expressing gratitude to God, we are stepping into a state of eternal gratitude, for God is always in the process of giving to us. In the aura, gratitude shows up as a beautiful pink light especially around the emotional body. When you give thanks to God, not only are you expressing your love to the divine, you are also lifting yourself up out of the vibratory rates of the lower self and stepping into a state of joy that comes from the Higher Self. Feeling a steady flow of joy is part of being in the God consciousness. If you’re down in the blues and feeling blah all the time, you’ve disconnected with the higher consciousness, and naturally you won’t feel like there’s anything to be grateful for. When you find yourself in one of these lower states, immediately turn things around by giving thanks to God for all the divine does for you. Be grateful for everything, the little as well as the big, as this keeps you in touch with the higher and keeps your light expanding. No matter what is happening in your life, there is always something for which to be grateful. Happy Thanksgiving!
It goes without saying that relationships are a huge area of our lives. How we handle our interactions with others becomes one of the most important lessons we can learn and is a key component in our spiritual growth.The dynamics of our relationships show up very clearly in the aura. There is a constant exchange of energy when we are interacting with others. By looking at the color and quality of that energy exchange, one can tell very quickly if the relationship is moving in a productive way. For example, when two people are in love and that love is genuine, there will be a wonderful exchange of pink light from one aura to the other. The exchange will be mutually enhancing to both people involved. There will also be a bubbly pink champagne energy around each aura. Something as simple as a warm hug can have a wonderful effect on the aura.On the other hand, if two people are dating, but there is little love there, the energy will shift. Perhaps the attraction is only physical, or one is jealous or possessive of the other. In these cases, the colors seen can move to a grey or vitiated red or even a dark brown indicating the disharmony, fear, anger, etc. This will have the effect of depleting rather than strengthening the auric exchange.The key energy to work with when it comes to relationships is the deep rose-pink ray of spiritual love. I don’t think there’s such a thing as getting too much of this love ray. I would use this ray in your relationships every day. It’s the ray that gives you the power to heal any type of friction or create the loving relationship you desire. Most of us know how important love is, so why can it be so difficult to express at times? Our nemesis is our own human ego. Too often, our human nature likes to hold onto its jealousies, angers and hatreds even though these are the very things that hold us back and make us suffer.To build your spiritual love flow, see others as the spiritual beings that they are. See people in the best possible light and look to the highest in others regardless of what they are showing you.We are all meant to have healthy, harmonious interactions with others. It is this loving exchange that helps carry our souls to greater spiritual heights.
In Divine Light and love,

Forgiveness is one of the biggest parts of healing any relationship. In our life experiences, we’re all bound to step on each other’s toes at one point or another. As we spiritually mature, we’re inevitably going to make mistakes. So, there’ll be many times we’ll need to be forgiving or to ask forgiveness.
It’s not always easy to forgive. Our human ego gets involved and wants to hold on to grudges, angers, and so on. We may not recognize that we have injured someone or may find it hard to forgive a person who has done us a serious wrong.
What can make the act of forgiveness so hard is we think that if we forgive someone, we’re letting him or her off the hook. In truth, when we forgive, we’re letting ourselves off the hook. There’s a tremendous freedom in forgiveness.
In the aura, there’s a beautiful exchange of energy when people really forgive. This exchange of energy usually happens at the Higher Self point which tells us right away that by forgiving, we have taken the situation out of the human personality and are acting in a divine way. When someone forgives, I often see a beautiful pink light flowing from the person doing the forgiving to the person being forgiven. Both people are being blessed by such a spiritual exchange.
In the same way, when someone is genuinely asking for forgiveness, there is also a beautiful exchange of energy. I often see a purple light flowing from the Higher Self of the person asking forgiveness to the person who is being asked to forgive. In this case, there is a lot of peace being transmitted to help quiet things down so the person is in a more receptive place to accept the forgiveness. Sometimes, I see emerald green light flowing to bring in more harmony.
Forgiveness is the great healer of love. Regardless of what is going with you, make forgiveness an active part of your life. Do your best to make peace with your spiritual brothers and sisters. You cannot ascend into the higher dimensions of life holding on to old hatred and resentments.
The spiritual energy to work with when it comes to forgiveness is the deep rose-pink ray of spiritual love. Working with this energy helps lift your spirits and puts your relationships in God’s loving hands.
In Divine Light and love,
Barbara Y. Martin
