Helping Children Stay Connected to Their Inner Light

The stories, ideas, and inspiration I share come from a desire to point people toward the possibility that there’s something greater within us – if we’re willing to look with an open mind. Our lives can change dramatically when we connect with that deeper part of ourselves that is always with us, always guiding us. It’s an unbreakable connection of love, compassion, and higher wisdom.

In many ways, our early years – especially the first six or seven – can train us out of that connection. Young children don’t have the life experience to filter and process what they see and hear, and the gap between what the people around them say and do can be confusing. Children often mirror back actions and words that they don’t yet understand. This confusion can show up as what looks like behavior issues. Having an internal guidepost can help children self-soothe and self-regulate as they navigate these early years.

I wrote a children’s book called Sophie’s Inner Light to offer children a gentle guidepost they can turn to, no matter what is happening around them. It was written so that younger children, alongside a parent or caregiver, can explore the idea of their own inner light – something that is always with them, guiding and loving them throughout their lives. It touches on topics such as taking care of the body, being mindful, connecting with inner feelings and sensations, self-acceptance, self-awareness, and meditation to self-soothe.
