Mentor a new human

August 1, 2012 By brittandreatta

“A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.” ~ Eda Le Shan

I think that it is our responsibility as adult humans to make sure we welcome every baby that we meet. I’m serious. Each new member of our human tribe is a profound gift to us all, whether or not you are a parent or are “into” kids.

I think this responsibility is doubled for those of us who are conscious to the laws of the universe because we can have a profound impact on the little ones by really “seeing” them – sometimes in ways that their own parents can’t.

When I see a baby or a young child, I will make eye contact with him or her and say something like, “Welcome to the world little one. We are so glad that you are here. You have a special gift to bring to the world that you, and only you, can contribute. It is really an honor to meet you.”

And I sincerely mean this. Every child has a unique role to play as part of our society, that benefits humanity in a profound way. This is true for each and every one of us – and I know that us adults can spend a lot of time trying to get back to our true path after being distracted by other people’s expectations.

That is why I think it is important to greet the children – that if for a moment, we can remind them that they are special, then they may be able to better embrace their true purpose. I also think that we can either help the parents see their children in a new light or help them confirm what they already know to be true.

And if you happen to get the blessing of having children in our life — your own, friends’ kids, cousins, nieces, etc. — be conscious of the important role you play in their lives. You can be a mentor to these new humans and show them some positive ways of being in the world. You can also be a voice of love and inspiration for them just by honoring their true essence and letting them know that they are seen.

After all, don’t we all need a little confirmation? So I say the same thing to you – I am so glad you are here! You have a special gift to bring to the world that you, and only you, can contribute. It is really an honor to meet you.

"Britt is a gifted facilitator, period. Whether in a large group setting or one-to-one, she guides in a way that keeps focus and structure while allowing for and encouraging spontaneous discovery. She knows the power that lies in the process itself, and creates an environment that encourages personal insight to emerge. I have benefitted greatly from some deep discoveries that have occurred in one-to-one and small group settings with Britt."
