ESP For Kids

What is ESP
Generally speaking, ESP is the ability to ‘know’ things without actually seeing them. Sometimes it is the ability to predict things without knowing beforehand what will happen next.

For example, I am good in feeling other people’s feelings. When I sit beside someone, I can feel their emotions just by touching them without them telling me. Sometimes I feel the emotion itself… and sometimes I feel the physical symptoms of the emotion like a pain in the heart signifies heartbreak, the numbness in my gums is usually anger.. etc….

Generally speaking, all children are born with some form of ESP. Their ESP senses are usually the strongest before they turn 3 years old. Before that, they usually have no need to rely on their sense of logic and can just instinctively tell you who is coming home next, who is on the phone, whose foot steps are those, etc.

But because children with ESP may also sometimes predict things that are going to happen and adults tend to like to brush this off and ask them not to talk nonsense, children start to think that this gift is not a good idea at all.

Sometimes, children with good ESP may also see some other things that we cannot see as their unconscious mind is totally opened up. When that happens, they may also get frightened and shut off their powers.

Mostly though, because most children tend to choose to lose this gift as they grow older… in order to just “be the same as other people”, and in order not to be strange or different, children will choose to give up this gift as they grow up.

ESP is actually a useful life skill to have. If we have ESP, we will know things and will always be in the flow. Imagine if you were with people, with ESP, you know what they were feeling and thinking and you will know exactly how they will react next and who to trust.. that will make life so much easier and make business so much easier as well.

If you were playing sports, ESP will allow you to foretell your opponent’s next move and so you will always have the upper hand.

Therefore, it is generally easy to ‘train’ ourselves and get this gift back. That’s because we are born with it! We just chose to forget or close up the door but once we are willing and reopen the door, we will be able to

I have recently been learning how to help children train their ESP from an expert. She has very kindly shared with me her experiences of using ESP exercises to help train this important ‘skill’.

Types of ESP
There are many types of ESP. There is ESP using clairvoyance (the sixth sense), telepathy, hand-readin, prediction and also using our sense of smell, taste and hearing.

Different kids tend to excel in different ESP games as no one is good at everything. Some people are better at seeing colours, some are better than seeing shapes. Some are more ‘open’ and get into ESP easily and some are more ‘closed up’ and take a longer time to get there. But all it takes is a willingness to be open and receive this gift of ‘knowing’ back.

Telepathy Training
Telepathy makes good practice and is very useful. With telepathy, you can communicate with your child without opening your mouth to talk and on a personal note as a mother, I think the most important thing about telepathy is that mothers will learn to understand their very young children who are unable to communicate their feelings.

Sometimes when Ace cries, I know instinctively why he cries and I can resolve the issue quickly. That is part of the reason I feel why my son does not cry or throw tantrums often.

A easy way to practice telepathy is to have 2 or 3 different pictures or choices and let him guess which one are you thinking of.

Clairvoyance Training
clairvoyance is using e sense of sight. It is also what we call the special eye (it is not the third eye, the third eye is for seeing the paranormal. The special eye is also in the place of the ‘tian yan’ where the third eye is but it is used to see things that are hidden.

A simple game to train this is to someting in 1 of 2 or 3 pockets/cups/boxes etc and let him guess where is the item hiding in. Another way is to hide a biscuit or a sweet in your hands before you give it to him.

Hand Reading or Touch Sense Play Training
Use three different cards and ask your child to touch the back of the card to feel the card. Eg, use cards of different colours or shapes and ask them to find the different card that is of a different shape or colour by just touching the back of the cards. Another way would be to let your child put their hand in cold water and imagine that the water is hot and feel the ‘heat’ in the cold water so that they get sensitive to the ‘heat’ they feel when they touch the back of the card. This will also help them to control sense of pain.

Clairaudience Training
Clairaudience is about knowing about something that is happening without being there.

A good way to train this will be to play games involving things like guessing what another person is doing in the next room, what music is playing in the next room.

Premonition play or Prediction Training
Well, these are simple games where you show them a series of patterns and get them to guess what colour or pattern comes next or get them to guess next day’s weather.

Clairgustance Play Training
Clairgustance works on your sense of taste.

Give your child some foods to taste and let them guess what is inside. For example, let them try to drink a mixed fruit juice and guess what is inside the fruit juice.

Clairalience Play Training
Clairalience works on using your sense of smell.

Put something inside the box and let them guess what is the smell inside the box or what is the smell in the next room.

Be creative!
Generally speaking, some games can be played in different ways. Some kids are better in hand reading and some are better in clairvoyance.

For example, if you have two cards, apple and orange, you can ask the child to either feel the card and use hand reading to find the apple. Or you could get them to use their sense of smell to smell the card to smell which one is the apple… or even the sense of taste and feel the taste on their tongue when they touch the cards to find out which one is the apple or orange.

The important thing is to try to see which area your child excel in and pull out the innate abilities in them. I repeat, no one is good that everything.

A good way to find out which particular sixth sense they are using is to ask the child, “How did you know the answer?”

If the child can express himself well, he will be able to tell you things like, “I feel hot, I can see it..” and you will be able to know how he got the answer and which particular ESP game he is more well versed in.

Tools needed
A good set of cards that can be used to play clairvoyance, telepathy n hand-reading games would be a set of 10 cards containing 2 sets of 5 different shapes. You can make your own and use any shape you like. Generally, you can use circle, square, triangle, star, cross.

Alternatively, if you are lazy to make your own cards, using poker cards are a good idea as well. You could get your child to find the red card out of two black cards or for your child to pick out the clubs or the spades. The possibilities are endless!

ESP training is simple and it is not really difficult to practice because you do not need to literally drag a child to sit down and practice. All you need to do is to make it part of your everyday life and the most important thing is to make it fun.

For example, you could do things like hide a biscuit and guess which hand it is in. Get your child to guess which lift is coming next, or guess what is the colour of the shirt you are wearing inside your jacket.

All in all, have fun!
