True presence is magnetic.
Itâs not about the words we say or the actions we take - itâs about the energy we radiate. When we embody authenticity and openness, we give others silent permission to do the same.
This is how healing happens - not by doing more, but by being more of who we truly are.
And then others will join - not because they are pressured, manipulated, or told what to do, but because they simply feel it.
They resonate with the frequency we carryâ¨

What happens inside of us is, for me, the most important part of how we approach a child's meltdown. The words we say carry energy. We can say the 'right, most appropriate' words for the situation and yet it won't help because our sensitive child will pick up on the tension in our voice and, more importantly, the energy we're emitting from our body.
Mindfulness and meditation can help us lower our trigger 'threshold', remain calmer and be truly present with our sensitive child when they need us to be the adult they need and not join in their emotional chaos.
What is your experience?
Do you practice mindfulness and meditation?
Does it help you in parenting?
Does it help you in your relationships in general?

Sounds familiar?
I was trying to explain to someone today why transition of thought or focus can be challenging for a neurodivergent person.
Neurodivergent people often think very deeply, processing more information than a neurotypical individual. Because of this, we canât just say we will move onto something else without time to process and move our focus from one thing to another. That transition can actually be exhausting. Itâs not ârigidâ thinking or lack of flexibility⌠it is thinking very deeply.

Some helpful definitions of how we receive, interact with, create and navigate various forms of cognitive knowledge:
âŤď¸
SKIP-THINKING:
leaps ahead on the reasoning path (mildâmoderate giftedness)
META-THINKING:
maps and reshapes the reasoning paths themselves (highâprofound giftedness)
INTUITION:
senses the direction of paths of knowing (integration of streams of knowledge)
Skip- and meta-thinking are cognitive functions, a capacity of the intellect to leap ahead on the reasoning path or to map and reshape reasoning paths, respectively. These gifted-level functions arise from within the thinkerâs own mind, through deliberate or spontaneous reflection. They work with structures, processes and meanings that are already present in oneâs cognitive field, either consciously or subconsciously. This kind of thinking often has a sense of âI worked my way to this understanding,â even when the thought-leaping or thought-mapping is lightning fast or nonlinear. It often generates feelings of exhilaration, vastness, precision, inspiration and organic mental exploration.
Intuition is an integrative faculty that gathers subtle cues from memory, emotion, body and environment, and synthesizes them into a coherent sense of direction or understanding. It arises from within oneâs own system: from the deep coordination of what the self already holds and perceives, often before conscious reasoning has caught up. Intuition doesnât bypass the self but unites its many layers into a felt ârightnessâ of direction. It often generates feelings of relief, clarity, motivation, certainty, self-connection, self-trust and self-confidence - even when it contradicts more externally imposed logical reasoning.
Claircognizance is a paraperceptual faculty, a reception of knowledge that does not originate in the self or its accumulated experience. It arrives as a complete transmission, like a âdownloadâ, without internal synthesis or a traceable process, as though the mind were a receiver tuned to a frequency beyond its own field. The sense of âknowingâ feels given rather than constructed, external to the self rather than emergent from it. It often generates feelings of awe, amazement, gratitude, humility and the privilege of accessing such advanced concepts without having to mentally "work" for them.
The speed of gifted cognition can sometimes mimic the instantaneousness of intuition and claircognizance. And gifted cognition can combine with both: skip-thinkers may leap over logical steps *and* get direction from their intuition *and* land on conclusions sourced from beyond their own reasoning - producing insights that feel internally accelerated *and* internally directed *and* mysteriously given. Meta-thinkers can map out vast cognitive territory and then scaffold claircognizant experiences quickly into their conceptual âmeta-matricesâ, led by their intuitive direction - producing depth and breadth of understanding that is at once organically spacious, internally guided and mysteriously expansive.
So while everyone intuits directions and insights, and anyone can receive pre-formed knowing from outside sources, gifted cognition does color what weâre able to perceive, intuit and receive and what we do with the clarity, directions and âdownloadsâ that arrive at our cognitive doorstep. Therefore, it is helpful to understand when and whether our source of knowledge is our own mindâs cognition, our own intuition, or if weâve received knowing from beyond our own cognitive processes (or a combination of these). This guides us to more purposefully inhabit our role in the receiving, holding, shaping and sharing of the information we create and receive. And it allows us to more freely and purposefully weave our own knowledge together with the vast sea of knowing that surrounds us.
Note that this post describes, and considerably simplifies, the cognitive dimension of perception. Parallel forms of perception exist in other domains - emotional, creative, sensual, existential, physical - each with their own 'skip' and 'meta' manifestations (e.g. skip-sensing or meta-feeling) as well as their corresponding intuitive and clair expressions (e.g. gut feelings or clairsentience). You can use this post as a jump-off point for further reflection on how your various forms of knowing across domains interact and interweave in your life.

PROPRIOCEPTION
Ever seen a child who seems clumsy, bumps into things, chews on clothes, or presses too hard when writing?
It could be linked to their proprioceptive system â the bodyâs hidden sense that tells us where we are in space and how much pressure or force to use.
Understanding proprioception helps us see behaviour differently.
Itâs not âsensory seekingâ or âfidgety for no reasonâ â itâs a nervous system trying to feel safe and organised.
Letâs look at what proprioception really is, and why it matters so much for emotional and sensory regulation.

Does this resonate? Are you a MULTIPOTENTIALITE?

Anyone relates?
I'm a terrible fawner - it's my most obvious trauma response. I just don't want to get into trouble or criticised (again) so I agree to way more than I'm comfortable with.
Anyone else relate?

Things that make us great parents... Beautiful words by Deborah MacNamara, PhD
There were a few reminders I needed to hear today myself. It's the willingness to grow into the person we're meant to be for our child and ourselves that has been the driving force for me over the years, despite the many challenges...
It's nature's wisdom coming through; its wisdom that knows that we are here to nurture but also evolve as human beings, just like everything in nature - always creating the best version of itself - through love đ.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page :-)
When I was 7 years old, back in my home country of, then, Czechoslovakia, I attended my first and last art afterschool club for about a year. The teacher was a laid back artist-type who let us take our sheets of paper and paint on the floor, let our imagination flow, whilst he was sat with his feet up behind a desk. I LOVED the feeling of FREEDOM. It was such a JOY and in stark contrast to what I was experiencing at school and other clubs at that time.
I believe that we are all creative beings. CREATIVITY is our innate quality. The creativity Iâm talking about is not limited to artistic creativity. For me itâs a way of approaching life from a place of wonder and intrigue. It means using the right side of our brains, where all innovative ideas are born from, to come up with solutions to problems. Children have not, yet, forgotten their own brilliance and I wanted to do something to remind them of that; to nurture and support their own unique CREATIVITY.
Something magical happens when children paint, create and use their imagination.
At that moment they are truly themselves. It is my belief that when children are given the FREEDOM to truly express themselves, to CREATE just the way they want - without interference, without prescribing the correct way, when there is no right or wrong, children start to believe in their own ideas and thus gain confidence in themselves. What better tool for life? Everyone talks about confidence being important in life, about believing in yourself. But how does one develop confidence and a true belief in themselves? The kind of self-confidence that comes from within and isnât dependent on any external factors.
I also introduce children to another tool for life - mindfulness. Through mindfulness I want to help children connect with themselves, their inner selves and with the world around them. My approach to mindfulness is heart-centred and support children in becoming aware of their own innate kind, caring and compassionate nature; something that is vital for the world that is becoming to unfold before our eyes right now. Children do not need to be taught to be kind, caring and compassionate - all of that is already within them. Mindfulness helps them to find and connect with those qualities inside of them.
In my workshops I create a safe space where all of this can happen. I create space where imagination has no limits, CREATIVITY flows and children can feel truly FREE. The focus on my workshops is on the enJOYment of the creative process and having fun.
I feel very grateful that I stepped outside of my comfort zone and found the courage to set up my workshops. I now have the opportunity to do what I enjoy and work with children to help them start believing in themselves a bit more.
