 Childhood anxiety is more common than you might think, and it’s a natural response to certain situations. However, when it becomes overwhelming, it’s essential to address it with love, care, and intentional healing practices. Inner healing techniques can provide a holistic and effective way to help children manage their anxiety while nurturing their emotional and spiritual growth. Here’s how you can create a calm and supportive space for your child using proven inner healing techniques. 1. Create A Safe And Loving Environment Children need to feel secure to process their emotions. Start by creating a safe space at home where they can express themselves without judgment.
2. Teach Mindful Breathing Teaching your child how to focus on their breath can be a game-changer. Mindful breathing lowers stress hormones and helps children feel more grounded.
3. Encourage Journaling Or Drawing Sometimes, kids can’t express their feelings verbally. Journaling or drawing gives them a non-verbal outlet for their emotions.
4. Incorporate Healing Crystals Crystals are more than beautiful—they carry vibrational energy that can soothe anxious minds. Choose child-friendly crystals to support their healing.
5. Practice Guided Imagery Visualization is a powerful inner healing technique that helps children redirect their anxious thoughts.
6. Introduce Gentle Energy Healing Practices Simple energy healing techniques can work wonders in calming a child’s anxiety.
7. Set A Daily Gratitude Practice Gratitude shifts focus from worries to positive aspects of life. Teaching this practice can instill resilience and joy in your child.
8. Use Aromatherapy And Natural Scents Calming scents can trigger the brain to relax. Essential oils and natural fragrances work gently, making them ideal for children.
9. Foster Connection With Nature Spending time in nature is grounding and healing for children and adults alike.
10. Encourage Open Conversations Anxiety can feel isolating for children. Letting them know it’s okay to talk about their feelings can be immensely comforting.
11. Empower Them With Affirmations Positive affirmations can reshape thought patterns and instill confidence in children.
Final Thoughts Helping children calm their anxiety is about equipping them with tools they can use throughout their lives. By integrating inner healing techniques like mindfulness, energy work, and emotional expression, you’re not just easing their immediate worries—you’re nurturing their resilience and spiritual well-being. Remember, every child is unique. Explore these techniques and adapt them to your child’s needs. With patience, consistency, and love, you can guide them toward a calm, confident, and joyful life.

 "Waa!" "Waa!" "Waa!" "Waa!" - It's 3 o'clock in the morning and the two-month-old is up...again. This is the fourth night in a row. She needs sleep, but can't seem to get there. Neither can the rest of the house. She isn't hungry. Her diaper is fresh. She does not seem to want anything, but to cry. The soothing techniques are simply not working. Parents of babies with colic will recognize an experience all too similar to this.
It can be frustrating to no end when a baby is upset and you feel as if you cannot help. I have been through the experience of dealing with babies with colic several times. Two of my own children had colicky tendencies and I have also been a nanny or babysitter to babies with colic. I have found many ways to help soothe babies with colic through trial and error, as well as advice from various medical experts. I hope my discoveries and lessons learned can help others in a similar situation. Soothing Sounds for Babies With Colic: Running Faucet Laugh all you want. Then, go try it. Sometimes the most unconventional methods are the best ones for babies with colic. Many babies love the sound of running water. Okay, so this one could get costly and wasteful. An easier and more cost-effective way to use this soothing sound for babies with colic is to visit soundsnap.com. There, you will find various faucet sounds and other soothing sounds that babies may enjoy. The sound files are free to listen to and download. Put your music player on the repeat option for the best effect. Soothing Sounds for Babies With Colic: Soft Native American Music One of my favorite ways to help soothe babies with colic is playing soothing sounds and music. Most babies with colic love to hear the sound of music or other soft sounds. A fussy or colicky baby will respond the best to softer sounds. Loud or jarring sounds are probably not a good idea for soothing babies with colic. Because part of our heritage includes a Native American background, along with our vast array of musical tastes, our family enjoys listening to a variety of music sung or played by Native Americans. Here are some of the many Native American songs that I have found to be soothing to babies with colic. *Dawa (The Cradle Song) - Sacred Spirit *Cherokee Morning Song - Walela *Vision Quest (Dreamer) - Airo *Brave Hearts - Brulé *Lay-O-Lay Ale Loya (The Counterclockwise Circle Dance) - Sacred Spirit *Amazing Grace (sung in Cherokee) - Walela *(I Used To) Ride Like the Wind - Airo Sacred Spirit, Walela, Brulé, and Airo can be purchased new or used at Amazon.com. If you would like to sample any of these or try them on babies with colic before buying, some can be sampled at Amazon. At the time this content was being written, I was also able to find all of these on YouTube.com using the YouTube search feature. A few more Native American musical artists worth looking up for use on babies with colic include Manantial, Jackie Bird, Enigma, and Oliver Shanti. Soothing Sounds for Babies With Colic: Traffic For some babies, the sounds of the traffic flow can be soothing. If you live in the city, you may be able to record your own soothing traffic sounds with ease. If not, you can do a Web search for short clips of traffic noise you can download for free. Simply download the one (or more) of your choice and when you play the file, set your computer's music player to repeat the file or files. Soothing Sounds for Babies With Colic: Heartbeat This sound effect can be achieved naturally by allowing baby to hear your heartbeat. However, if you'd like to have a hard copy of a heartbeat, try BabySleepNoise.com. As long as the use is within the terms stated, you can download several comforting noises for free, including a heartbeat. Soothing Sounds for Babies With Colic: Rainforest Sometimes natural sounds can do the trick of soothing a baby with colic. Nature sounds CDs can be purchased at most major retailers. However, if you need something fast, you can also try some free nature sounds by searching YouTube or the Web. Bonus Tips to Soothe & Comfort Babies With Colic Tummy Rocking -- Lie baby on tummy across your lap, across your knees. Sway the legs back and forth in a rocking motion, taking care to support baby safely. I have found this helpful in relieving some of the gas and upset stomach that babies with colic can experience. Coupled with soothing music, this was always the best way to soothe and comfort babies with colic. Change Baby’s Diet -- Sometimes eliminating things from baby's diet can ease the stomach. Lactose intolerance or starting baby on juices and solids too early can cause gas and excessive crying that mimics symptoms of colic. Use Proper Tummy Care Motion -- Do not bounce baby up and down. While this is a common way to soothe a baby, if a baby is colicky or has GERD or acid reflux, this can actually make the symptoms worse. Instead try a slow, gentle rock or rhythmic pats on the baby's back. Babies with colic sometimes need extra care with their stomachs. Remain Calm -- Sometimes just remaining calm yourself can soothe babies with colic. Babies mimic the emotions of their parents and caregivers. The persistent crying of a colicky baby takes patience on the parent or caregiver's part. If you feel yourself getting stressed, it is okay to lie the baby down in the crib while you take a breather. The baby is better off there than in the arms of a stressed out person. Once you can regain your composure, resume calming the baby. The Power of Love -- Never underestimate the power of simple love and care. A little bit goes a long way, but a large amount can make all the difference. Through love and care that you can often accidentally stumble upon the most effective methods for soothing babies with colic. *I originally published a version of this via Yahoo Contributor Network |
