A
Practice Guide to Seeing the Gifts of Autism
Being, Seeing and Being Seen
by Suzy Miller, M.Ed.
CCC
IT IS SUCH A GIFT TO BE ALIVE at
this time in history, when we are moving away from a strictly physical and mental
model of reality and moving into the feeling and vibrational realms. This movement
in and of itself is a great gift to children diagnosed with autism, because
it is in these realms that they function so effortlessly. It is in these realms
that they are truly advanced and it is here that their seeming “disorder”
simply does not exist.
Although this may be the reality for those who have the eyes to see in this
manner, parents of children diagnosed with autism frequently have so much physical
and mental reality “in their face” that it can be very hard and
very frustrating to attempt to see their children any other way. Up until now,
for some, even trying to get a glimpse of your child as gifted versus disordered
was a real challenge, but this whole shift in energy is now supporting your
ability to truly see your children for who they are. For those of you who have
already witnessed the brilliance of your child’s world, you now have available
to you a truly interactive experience at the level of feeling energy and the
oneness that is associated with it. The gift that you have been waiting for
in the form of support from the whole cosmos is here now. The higher vibrational
frequencies of soul/feeling and vibration/spirit realms have begun to saturate
the energy of the physical and mental realms so that the division is almost
non- existent. This allows you the best chance to get a glimpse into your child’s
world.
So how does this work on the practical level. How can you see your child? First
it is important to understand that you are not separate from your child or from
anything for that matter. You are simply being and within that being, is the
all. It is that being that will actually do the seeing. So how do you get to
that place? How do you move beyond the labels to allow the fullest expression
of your child to be revealed? Here are some action steps to get you there as
easily as possible.
First take a walk! This is a great first step. Please hear me out. Take a walk
and look at things. Just look, no labels. Look at the tree, the flower, the
sky, the passing dog. Just look, but do not label. When your mind wants to start
a dialogue about what is seen, take a deep breath and remind yourself to just
look. After you have done this a few times, you will begin to notice that you
are feeling the tree, the flower, and the sky. Each will have a distinct resonance
in your body, like a wave or a flow going through you. Just notice this. Just
feel it. (That wave is the un-manifested energy and something that your children
are very familiar with.)
For some this experience will come on the first walk, simply because the intention
has been set and the whole of the cosmos is working with you. For others it
may take a couple times, just to get the mind out of the way. No big deal either
way. It’s just a game to play, so just play with it. The mind can be easily
redirected with your breath and the inner command to “just look”.
Practice until you really enjoy jut feeling your walk.
Next you will be ready to try this with your child; however I would suggest
that you start by watching them as they sleep. We have all spent time looking
at the beauty of our children as they lay quietly in their beds and during those
moments we often feel unusually connected to them. We feel a stirring of deep
love and interconnection within us. In those moments our Beingness was seeing
the child. We just may not have been aware of what we were doing. So you have
already had this experience. You already know the feeling of it.
So with that as a reminder, just look again. No labels. Just look. Feel the
feelings that arise and just be present with them. You are beginning to bring
the gap from the mental realm to the soul/feeling realm and you are entering
their world. In this space you may see something that you have not seen before.
You may hear a still small voice within that presents a message to you, or you
may just be in a place of looking and feeling. It’s all good. The gift
comes in just allowing whatever comes. Again practice seeing them as they sleep.
Just be with them and feel how good that wave of energy feels. Feel the alertness
that comes with this interconnection.
This experience will feel so good that you
will want to jump into the next level of practice which is truly seeing your
child when he is awake and active. This is a big jump. You are moving from witnessing
the un-manifested energy of the sleep state to the embodied energy of waking
consciousness, so start slow.
Now you can begin to practice seeing you child in various settings, but it helps
to initially have a little physical and mental/emotional distance. You may want
to begin by watching your child interact with others. Watch him through the
window at school, witness them as they play with their toys or watch a TV show.
Just look, no labels. Breathe and feel. If this feels like the mental aspect
of self is too charged and you feel like you are being dragged back to seeing
your child at the level of “disorder”, simply close your eyes for
a minute. Cut out the visual and just listen to your child. When you hear yourself
dialogue about what the child is doing “wrong”. Breathe and feel.
Open your eyes and try again.
It gets so easy and you will so enjoy feeling your child in this way that sooner
or later your mind will begin to label the feeling of the wave running throughout.
The mind will begin to naturally provide a positive label. Even the mind will
begin to see the gift.
By the time you have practiced this several times in these various settings,
you will begin to find that something new is arising in your awareness regarding
your child. You are seeing something new, but you are not seeing this with your
eyes. You are seeing with your Being. Part of yourself has begun to be revealed
to you. It happened while you were witnessing your child. The part of you that
feels and knows is coming to the surface and as it does the part of your child
that feels and knows will react to that change.
Here is where it gets fun! Your child has always been feeling and knowing his
way through life and he has always been modeling that for you. Now that you
are beginning to sense that for yourself, he begins to reveal even more. Now
that you are “on the same vibrational page”, now that you are beyond
the mental constructs and the label, you can truly feel the fullest expression
of your child. It is in this state that parents report that they can hear their
nonverbal children communicate telepathically. It is here that you begin to
see what the energy of your child has been doing all along. These beautiful
children play in the area of feeling and vibration day in and day out. They
work with the most subtle level of energy to heal, transform and provide awareness.
When they become aware that you have seen them, you will know it immediately,
because behaviors that were currently predominate, will stop. You will feel
a deep interconnection that translates into a trust that all is really well
with this situation.
As you practice this skill, you will fluctuate back and forth between the lower
and higher vibrations, you will drop back into seeing the “disorder”
and return and to the brilliance as you see- saw your vibration into a state
that is more consistent with your child’s.
Meeting you child in their realm does NOT mean that your child will not learn
to function “here”. It is actually quite the opposite. Meeting your
child, without labels, in the realm of feeling, creates a wonderful bridge.
It eases the connection far more than you can currently imagine. It is at this
bridge point, beyond the mental constructs, of what is perceived as “right
and wrong” with your child that your child can come effortlessly into
the world. This bridge also allows you access to the world of vibration.
You are here to fully integrate the two. Your children are here to help in that
process, the higher energies have completely saturated the lower, and the whole
of the cosmos is working with you to bridge the gap. This practice guide may
seem too simple to the mind, but of course it is the simplest things of life
that usually pack the most punch, besides this is not about the mind but moving
beyond it. It is about moving beyond the diagnosis of autism to the experience
of Awesomism.
