Children naturally have an openness to the world around them, including the spiritual dimension. Their journey of exploration in spirituality is often characterized by innocence and a natural curiosity. In the world of children, spirituality manifests in various ways. They can experience a deep sense of wonder and connection in nature, feel drawn to symbols and rituals, and be intuitively sensitive to the energies and emotions of others.
For children, spirituality is often a spontaneous and authentic expression of their inner world. They have the gift of asking simple questions that invite us to contemplate the essence of life and our connection to something greater than ourselves. During their spiritual exploration, children can be inspired by stories, fairy tales and mythologies that embody universal values of love, compassion and wisdom. They may have a natural inclination to meditate, play with their imagination and follow their intuition.
It is important to support and encourage children in their spiritual growth. This can be done by creating space for silence, creativity and reflection. Sharing stories, asking questions and listening to their perspectives can lay the foundation for a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. As adults, we can learn from the innocence of children and embrace our own inner child in our spiritual journey. By being open to the wisdom and purity of children, we can gain new perspectives and insights that enrich our spiritual path.
Let us cherish, guide and support the spiritual journey of children so that they can grow in a world where they can be their authentic selves and experience their connection to the universal web of life.
