Why Spirit Babies Choose Portal People

If you’ve ever felt like your energy changes the room… or turns heads or like strangers open up to you in seconds… like your presence shakes something loose in others they didn’t even know was stuck—this message is for you.

Because spirit babies don’t choose just anyone. They choose whomever is right for their energy. It’s not exclusive- it’s alignment.

Spirit babies choose portal people.

They choose the ones who are potent, passionate, multidimensional.

The ones who see through illusions and remember why they came.

The ones who can crack open hearts, shift mindsets, and stir up something ancient and real just by being.

If you’re here, reading this, it’s likely because you’re one of them.

So many of the women I’ve worked with—mamas trying to conceive, intuitives, witches, healers, creatives, lovers of life—have one thing in common: their spirit babies feel big. Their babies bring magic, messages, medicine.

And the women carrying those babies?

Portal people.

They’re not just nurturing life—they’re holding open entire realities.

They’re bridging past lives and future timelines.

They’re the ones whose babies chose them because of their depth, their wild heart, their power.

And maybe, like me, your spirit babies chose you because they saw the whole picture.

They saw your soul.

They saw what you could hold.

And they knew—they just knew—you were the one.

What Is a Portal Person?

A portal person is someone whose energy shifts people.

You don’t just leave impressions—you leave imprints.

You touch something deeper. Even in small interactions, your presence can stir something awake in others.

You might be at the park and chat with a stranger for five minutes, and by the time you part ways, they’re crying, reflecting, inspired—or visibly shaken. And you’re left wondering, what just happened?

If you’re a portal of a person, you know exactly what I mean.

You’ve probably also internalized this energy as too much.

You might have blamed yourself for how people react to you—falling in love too quickly, copying you, seeking you out in intense waves, and then disappearing.

You might have attracted people who just wanted to feel something through you, and left once they got their thrill. Portal people are often emotional catalysts for others, which can feel devastating when it isn’t mutual or sustainable.

Why Boundaries Matter for Portal People

This is where energetic discernment becomes sacred.

Your presence is life-changing.

That’s not a metaphor—it’s a frequency.

So you must ask yourself:

• Do I feel safe offering this part of myself?

• Does this person have the capacity to meet me in this space?

• Do I want to offer this right now, or am I defaulting into it?

Don’t be a portal for everyone.

Offer your medicine in alignment—not obligation.

Because while your words may pour out perfectly, like keys in a lock, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is withhold until it’s safe, mutual, and honored.

Why People React So Intensely to You

Let’s talk about cognitive dissonance.

This happens when someone is presented with new information or a new reality that directly challenges their existing beliefs. The brain gets confused—stressed even. People might get defensive, lash out, retreat, or shut down.

As a portal person, just by existing, you can cause cognitive dissonance in others.

You become the embodiment of possibility, of healing, of “more”—and that can terrify someone who’s only ever known contraction and survival.

So no, you’re not “too much.”

You’re not overwhelming.

You’re just waking people up—and not everyone is ready.

The Dating Struggle for Portal People

For my single lover girls…

Many portal women feel used while dating.

Not intentionally—but energetically.

She’s the one men come to when they want to feel something.

She’s the one they write songs about, call “ethereal,” tell their therapist they can’t stop thinking about.

But few stick around.

Why?

Because she’s a mirror.

She reflects their unhealed wounds, their deepest desires, their unrealized potential.

And most people aren’t prepared to meet themselves that honestly.

So if that’s been your pattern—know that it’s not a curse.

It’s a sign of your power.

The solution?

Hold your frequency.

Share it with discernment.

Know that your magic deserves to be met, cherished, and returned tenfold.

How Portal People Find Belonging

Sometimes we wonder—are we too intense to belong?

Are we too deep, too electric, too emotionally literate?

I don’t think so.

But I do think we need each other.

We need other portal people.

We need communities of women who aren’t afraid of our light.

We need friends who’ve walked through fire and came out still singing.

We need lovers who won’t flinch when we need authenticity or reflections.

Because that’s how we change the world—not as lone sparks, but as a wildfire of awakened hearts.

We become the collective portal.

We become the bridge.

We become the new world.

And love is the bridge, always.

To the Spirit Baby Mamas & Parents,

If you’ve ever felt chosen by your spirit baby, know this:

They saw the portal in you.

They saw the sacred fire and chose to be born through it.

They don’t want you to dim.

They want you to rise.

Don’t fear your power, love.

Own it.

Claim it.

Let it be the bridge between this world and theirs.

That might be why they chose you.

I know it’s why mine chose me.

How to Talk to Your Partner About Your Spirit Baby

How to Talk to Your Partner About Your Spirit Baby

When you’re feeling called to connect with your spirit baby—or have already received signs, dreams, or intuitive messages—it can feel both exciting and vulnerable. You may wonder how to share this experience with your partner, especially if they’re more logical, skeptical, or simply unaware of the concept.

This heart-centered guide will help you talk to your partner about spirit babies using evidence-based communication tools, including soft start-ups from the Gottman Institute, attunement practices from EFT, and gentle somatic and intuitive techniques that honor your spiritual path.

What Is a Spirit Baby, and Why Is It Important to Talk About?

A spirit baby is the soul of a future child who often connects with potential parents before conception—through dreams, energetic sensations, signs, or inner knowing. Many people experience this presence long before pregnancy, and it’s a sacred, emotional, and intuitive experience.

Sharing this part of your journey with your partner can create a deeper spiritual bond and emotional alignment—if the conversation is approached with gentleness, respect, and emotional safety.

⸻

1. Begin with a Soft Start-Up (Gottman Institute Technique)

A soft start-up means beginning the conversation gently, without blame, criticism, or pressure. According to Drs. John and Julie Gottman, how you start a conversation predicts how well it will go 96% of the time.

Try something like:

“Hey (whatever you call your partner), I’ve been feeling into something spiritual and that I’d love to share. It’s not urgent, but it’s meaningful to me—and I’d just love for you to hear it.”

Or:

“I know this might sound a little ‘out there’, but I’ve been feeling really connected to the idea of a future baby soul… I’m connecting the way I do with other guides and I’d love to talk with you about it, if you’re open.”

This opens the door gently and invites your partner into your emotional world, rather than pushing them into a belief system.

⸻

2. Express from the Inside Out (Nonviolent Communication)

Focus on your feelings and needs rather than on trying to explain or justify the concept. Use “I” statements:

“I’ve been feeling this really peaceful, loving presence lately—and it feels like a spirit baby to me. I don’t need you to fully understand it, I just wanted to share because it’s meaningful to me.”

This honors your inner experience while giving your partner space to meet you there without pressure or defensiveness.

⸻

3. Validate Their Reality and Invite Curiosity (Emotionally Focused Therapy)

If your partner seems unsure or hesitant, validate their position while staying grounded in your truth. You might say:

“I know this might feel a little out-there. I totally don’t expect you to feel the same way—or anything like that. I’m just hoping you’ll listen with an open mind and heart. I just feel closer to you when I can share what’s been on my mind.”

Validation helps partners feel respected and avoids the trap of trying to “convince” someone of your experience.

⸻

4. Use Metaphors or Gentle Imagery to Bridge the Gap

If your partner doesn’t connect easily with spiritual language, metaphors can help:

“Some people say they feel the soul of their baby long before conception, mostly in feelings, communicated names and themes and symbols. That’s kind of how it’s felt for me too. There’s even books about it that have been around about the field of preconception for over 30+ years.”

This creates emotional resonance without sounding dogmatic or mystical—just poetic and human.

⸻

5. Invite Gentle Participation (Internal Family Systems-Inspired Approach)

Rather than asking your partner to fully believe or engage right away, invite small, low-pressure ways they can participate. You might say:

“Would you be open to lighting a candle with me sometime for the baby we’re calling in? No pressure to do anything else—I just love the idea of doing something simple together that could bring us closer to our baby.”

This approach gives space for the “parts” of your partner who might be curious, loving, or hesitant—all to be honored. It also prevents their protector parts (skepticism, fear, avoidance) from being activated by spiritual pressure.

⸻

6. Tune into the Nervous System (Polyvagal-Informed Tip)

Before initiating the conversation, check in with your own nervous system. Are you grounded? Regulated? Breathe slowly, place a hand on your heart or belly, and say internally:

“I can speak my truth with love and safety. I don’t have to be understood to be valid. I don’t need my partner to have my same experience in order to support my preconception journey.”

Let’s stay in your experience while inciting them to have their own around the concept of spirit babies

Approach the conversation when both of you are relatively calm and not during a high-stress moment. This helps your message land without being filtered through stress responses.

⸻

7. Honor the Journey, Not the Outcome

It’s okay if your partner isn’t immediately on board. Sometimes the spirit baby connection begins with one parent and slowly ripples outward. You can say:

“Just hearing me out today means a lot. I’m not asking you to believe what I believe—just to witness this spiritual part of me.”

You are allowed to stay spiritually connected to your spirit baby even if your partner needs more time. Even if they don’t have the same experience you do, your relationship with your spirit babies is still something you can build by yourself, without their full understanding.

⸻

You’re not too much for having intuitive or spiritual experiences. You’re not wrong for wanting to share this with your partner. And you’re definitely not alone.

Starting this conversation with tenderness, using soft start-ups, validating each other’s emotions, and leaning into curiosity can build deeper intimacy and mutual respect—even if your partner doesn’t fully understand spirit baby communication right away.

⸻

Whether your partner is on board or you’re walking this path alone for now, I offer personalized spirit baby coaching, intuitive guidance, and rituals to help you connect deeply with the soul waiting to come Earthside.

How Spirit Babies Save Us: A Story of Intuition, Fertility Struggles, and Womb Healing

How Spirit Babies Save Us

Trigger Warning: Loss, miscarriage, child loss

If you’re navigating fertility challenges or feeling disconnected from your womb, this message is for you.

As a spirit baby psychic medium, I’ve witnessed again and again how spirit babies guide us—not just into motherhood, but into healing. Sometimes, they save us before they ever arrive Earthside.

Spirit Babies Save Women in Mysterious, Powerful Ways

For many intuitive women, spirit babies are not just future children. They are teachers, healers, and soul guides. They often come through with messages of transformation, even when conception hasn’t occurred yet.

They save us from unaligned relationships.

They wake us up from cycles of pain.

They draw attention to emotional, energetic, and even physical imbalances—some that might’ve gone undiagnosed without their guidance.

My Personal Journey: Spirit Babies and Lyme Disease

In my own story, it was the presence of my spirit babies that led me to eventually discover a neurological Lyme disease diagnosis—something that had been silently affecting my body and energy for years. They guided me to listen to my intuition, seek care, and begin deep spiritual and physical healing. I’ll be sharing more about that soon.

From my work, I know that I’m not alone in this.

A Client Story: Spirit Baby Loss and Medical Awakening

Let me share a client story (with permission, name changed for privacy).

We’ll call her Megan.

Megan had experienced multiple miscarriages before finally giving birth to her rainbow baby. But in the midst of her losses, something profound happened. She was diagnosed with a serious medical condition that required immediate surgery. Doctors removed a life-threatening lump. She healed. And three years later, she welcomed her rainbow child.

Her spirit babies saved her life. They helped reveal something doctors hadn’t yet seen. That’s the kind of spiritual fertility guidance I witness again and again.

When “Unexplained Infertility” Doesn’t Feel Right

If you’ve ever been told you have “unexplained infertility” and that answer feels hollow—trust that feeling. Especially if you’re spiritually attuned, sensitive, and intuitively connected to your womb.

So often, it’s a dismissive label.

And let’s be honest… why is it always some guy in a lab coat handing down that diagnosis without truly seeing you?

Womb Healing Is a Portal to Deeper Wisdom

This is where womb healing comes in.

Try my Womb Healing Meditation (here) or explore my free resources to start reconnecting with your womb space. When you enter this meditative space, ask your womb:

What are you trying to show me?

What do I need to know?

You may receive intuitive insights, symbols, or even plant allies showing up to guide your healing.

What Is a Psychic Herbalist?

As a psychic herbalist, I receive intuitive “pings” from plants and spiritual guidance from your spirit baby during sessions. These insights often align with what your body already knows but hasn’t been able to express.

To be clear: I do not diagnose or treat. I’m not a medical doctor. I am an ethical intuitive practitioner. My role is to bridge the gap between spiritual intuition and embodied care—so you can advocate for yourself with more clarity, trust, and power. I am a communicator, someone who relays a message to you, that you then take to your necessary providers if you, yourself, as your own authority, deem that necessary for yourself.
I truly believe WE are the sovereign wisdom keepers of our own bodies and wombs.
My job, especially through my Spirit Baby Coaching containers (here), is to connect you to your womb space, body and spirit baby, so that you can facilitate the necessary healing needed.

I also encourage my clients to build relationships with plants through meditation, especially those on the conscious conception journey. The plant spirits often show up when a deeper kind of healing is ready to unfold.

You’re Not Alone—Spirit Babies Are Listening

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, recovering from miscarriage, navigating IVF, or still searching for answers, please know this:

Your spirit baby is with you.

You’re not broken.

And your womb is wise.

I pray every baby comes Earthside into the arms of loving parents—through divinely guided unions, through Christ and Sophia’s love, and through bodies and hearts that are whole, safe, and ready.

Amen.

What Are Soul Contracts, Really? (Based on Walter Makichen’s Spirit Babies)

So, what are soul contracts, anyway??

In his beautiful book Spirit Babies: How to Communicate with the Child You’re Meant to Have, Walter Makichen introduces the idea that conception—whether physical or energetic—often begins long before Earthly circumstances align. He writes about soul contracts: sacred pre-incarnation agreements between souls who plan to meet in this lifetime.

These contracts are not always set in stone. They can be flexible, symbolic, or deeply karmic. But they often carry profound emotional and spiritual weight.

Makichen describes how spirit babies sometimes wait until their chosen parents are ready—or nudge them toward growth, healing, or union. In some cases, the spirit baby plays the role of divine matchmaker, aligning two people who agreed (before birth) to co-create not just a child, but a deep spiritual experience.

Some possibilities:

• You, your spirit baby, and your future partner agreed to meet at a specific moment in your soul growth journey.

• There are karmic lessons or healing experiences you all chose to experience together.

• Your spirit baby’s presence is part of a larger soul mission—one that requires conscious love and co-creation.

And yes, sometimes these babies are intuitive AF.

They can sense the energy of a potential parent or partner and know whether they’re aligned with your highest good. Think of them as tiny etheric wisdom keepers—not judging you, but guiding you toward your most aligned path.

They might even “scout” potential partners, checking in on their growth, intentions, or soul readiness. I’ve seen it in readings—spirit babies watching from the sidelines with a raised eyebrow like, “Him? Really?” or “Okay, he’s getting closer… but he still has some work to do.”

So what does this mean for you?

If you’ve been sensing a pull toward someone, or feel like your spirit baby is nudging you in love—pay attention. Your child might be the bridge leading you toward your divine counterpart.

And if you’ve already met them, but the path is complex or unclear, your soul contract might hold clues about timing, healing, and the bigger picture.

Want to explore your soul agreements with your baby—and possibly your partner(s)?

Let’s take a look together in a spirit baby reading. They might just have more to say than you think.

Advancing Spirit Baby Mediumship: Building Upon Walter Makichen’s Legacy

Walter Makichen, clairvoyant and author of Spirit Babies: How to Communicate with the Child You’re Meant to Have, introduced the sacred concept of connecting with unborn souls—spirit babies—before conception. His work became foundational in this emerging field, highlighting that spirit babies often appear as green orbs, shimmering symbols of their readiness to incarnate.

My own journey into spirit baby mediumship began with an orb, too—one that arrived in a Tower tarot card moment and transformed my life. Since then, I’ve cultivated a wide range of psychic abilities that allow me to connect deeply with the Spirit Baby Realm and share their messages with those meant to receive them.

Below is a full list of my spiritual gifts, all of which contribute to my work as a spirit baby psychic medium:

Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing)

I receive visual psychic information from the spirit baby realm. This includes seeing orbs, symbolic images, colors, future baby items (like a bunny lovey or favorite swaddle), and sometimes even the nursery or birth scene the spirit baby wants to manifest. I see spirit babies in my mind’s eye and occasionally as small physical orbs of light, usually white.

Example: Before a reading, I often see a flicker of light float into the room—an orb that precedes the session. During the reading, I may clairvoyantly see any number of visual scenes play out like a movie clip, specific items, symbols, plants, herbs, or specific locations the spirit baby is trying to share.

One example is that a client was TTC and didn’t realize she was chemically sensitive. Her spirit baby showed me the new product that was actually causing her body inflammation, blocking the pregnancy.

(All information shared from readings is shared with expressed permission from my clients.)

⸻

Clairsentience (Clear Feeling)

I feel spirit babies’ emotions and physical sensations within my own body, my gut and my brain. I sense their longing, joy, hesitation, grief (if there’s been a loss), and excitement.

Example: A spirit baby might transmit a wave of peace or send me a sense of tightness when showing concern about stress in the home environment. In my time with this work, I have felt an overwhelming amount of love-sometimes deep reverence, respect and gratitude that spirit babies feel for their future parents.

⸻

Remote Viewing

I have the ability to psychically witness scenes, people, and places beyond time and space. Spirit babies often show me their birth scenes, conception portals, or soul journeys from their dimension into the womb.

Example: A lifelong friend I’ve had was reaching out about a session because she was deciding if she wanted to have children with her current partner. Her spirit baby showed me his future self as a little boy, holding her hand and walking down the streets of the town she lives in with her boyfriend. Her spirit baby then showed me the actual birth, actually inside their little apartment, when I asked if he wished to be born. That’s crystal clear information for mom.

⸻

Clairaudience (Clear Hearing)

I hear words, phrases, melodies, or even baby sounds from spirit babies. Sometimes they whisper their names, hum lullabies, or echo words like “Mama,” “Light,” or “Soon.”

Example: I often hear baby name suggestions EVERY session. During one session, I heard the name “Eli” repeated several times. The mother confirmed it was the name she and her partner had chosen because it’s a family name.

I often am given names of passed relatives or ancestors who walk with your spirit babies Earthside. In one session, I immediately heard “Freidrich”, which turns out was the father’s paternal grandfather’s name. Names are really fun evidential mediumship information that can help you understand which ancestor is on your spirit baby’s spiritual team.

⸻

Clairgustance (Psychic Tasting)

I taste what a spirit baby is craving or connected to, especially during pregnancy or conception. This often points to ancestral foods, nutritional needs, or foods that are energetically supportive. This is also helpful for identifying nutritional needs if spirit baby communicates a certain food necessary for conception.

Example: I once craved banana bread so hard while our neighbors were pregnant with their boy. She had been craving banana bread all week and I tasted it every time I went to text her.

⸻

Clairalience (Psychic Smelling)

I receive psychic scents from spirit babies. Sometimes these are comforting, like lavender, while other times they point to environmental concerns—like synthetic fragrances or phthalates that may be disrupting hormonal balance.

Example: I once smelled vanilla and amber during a session, only to learn that the grandmother of the spirit baby wore that scent. The spirit baby was honoring her.

⸻

Claircognizance (Clear Knowing)

I receive sudden and undeniable downloads of information that feel like absolute truth I couldn’t know otherwise. These insights often come fully formed, bypassing logic.

Example: Without any prior knowledge, I once told a client, “Your spirit baby is waiting for your book to be written before they come.” She burst into tears—she’d been secretly writing a book she felt stuck writing.

⸻

Clairempathy (Clear Emotional Resonance)

While clairsentience picks up specific feelings, clairempathy allows me to deeply attune to emotional energies. I feel the emotional bonds between family members, including a spirit baby’s connection to siblings, grandparents, or even a parent’s inner child.

Example: A spirit baby once helped me feel the father’s childhood sadness. The message was: “Tell Daddy it’s safe to love again. I’m coming to help him heal.”

⸻

Energetic Scanning

I can scan the energy of the womb, aura, or conception space to identify spiritual openings, energetic imbalances, or helpful alignments.

Example: I once felt tightness in the lower abdomen while scanning and shared it. The client later revealed she had been energetically protecting that space due to past trauma.

⸻

Automatic Writing (Physical Mediumship)

I offer channeled letters directly from spirit babies through automatic writing. Their personalities, wisdom, and guidance come through word-for-word in their own energy.

Example: A spirit baby once wrote, “I am not far, I am already here. Feel me in the sunlight and in your laughter.”

⸻

Synesthesia (Sensory Blending to Amplify Intuition)

My brain blends senses when I receive messages. I might taste a sound, see a scent, or feel a color. This amplifies the depth and clarity of the messages spirit babies share with me.

Example: A spirit baby sent me the taste of honey and a golden light. I interpreted it as their soul essence being sweet, calming, and full of joy. It’s like being able to sense a complete frequency in more than one sensory way.

In Closing

By expanding upon the sacred legacy Walter Makichen introduced, I honor his teachings while evolving the practice of spirit baby mediumship with new tools, deeper intuition, and devotion to this work.

If you feel a tug in your heart—if you sense someone is waiting for you—I am here to help you connect.

What is Childism? The Overlooked Bias Shaping Our Society

Most of us recognize racism, sexism, ableism, and classism as systemic forms of oppression. But there’s one form of bias that remains deeply ingrained, yet rarely named: Childism.

💡 What is Childism?

Coined by Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, Childism refers to the systemic discrimination, prejudice, and oppression of children—where their voices, needs, and rights are dismissed simply because they are young.

Childism exists when:
🔹 Children’s emotions and experiences are belittled or dismissed.
🔹 Kids are treated as property rather than individuals with rights.
🔹 Public spaces are designed primarily for adults, making families feel unwelcome.
🔹 Adults expect children to behave as “mini adults” instead of recognizing their developmental needs.
🔹 Disciplinary systems focus on control and compliance rather than guidance and learning.

The core issue? Children are one of the only groups in society without autonomy over their own lives. They are legally dependent on adults and are often excluded from conversations about their own needs.

📜 A Brief History of Childism

For centuries, children were seen as property rather than full human beings. Societies have long placed children in roles of servitude—whether through child labor, forced apprenticeships, or strict obedience in families.

While modern child protection laws (child labor bans, education rights, child welfare laws, etc.)have improved conditions, many societal attitudes toward children have not changed.

Many cultures still expect children to be:
🚫 “Seen and not heard” (prioritizing adult comfort over children's voices)
🚫 Obedient without question (rewarding compliance over autonomy)
🚫 Excluded from public life (childfree spaces, restrictive policies, and exclusionary urban design)

The result?

Children remain one of the most marginalized groups, often without legal agency over their own bodies, choices, and voices.

🌍 Where Do We See Childism Today?

🚪 Exclusion from Public Spaces → The rise of “childfree” restaurants, flights, and businesses makes it harder for families to navigate the world. Instead of designing inclusive spaces, we push children out.

⚖️ Legal & Policy Discrimination → Children don’t have a say in policies that directly affect them (education laws, healthcare, voting age restrictions, etc.), despite being impacted the most.

🏫 School System & Authoritarianism → Many schools focus on obedience, testing, and punitive discipline rather than fostering emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and creativity.

🗣️ Dismissing Children’s Voices → Many children’s emotions are invalidated. Phrases like “You’ll understand when you’re older” or “You don’t know what you’re talking about” reflect a broader cultural dismissal of their experiences.

📺 Media & Social Attitudes → Children are often mocked, ridiculed, or portrayed as annoyancesin media. Parents who advocate for their kids’ well-being are frequently criticized as “entitled.”

💡 Childism & Intersectionality: The Overlapping Layers of Oppression

Childism does not exist in isolation—it intersects with racism, gender inequality, disability rights, and economic oppression.

🔹 Race & Ethnicity → BIPOC children experience disproportionate discipline in schools, higher rates of policing, and racialized adultification. (Example: Black children being treated as older and less innocent than their white peers—a phenomenon known as adultification bias.)

🔹 Gender & Sexuality → Girls are often expected to be more mature and emotionally regulated than boys, while boys are discouraged from expressing vulnerability. LGBTQ+ youth often have little control over their gender identity and face systemic erasure in education.

🔹 Disability → Disabled children experience higher rates of institutionalization, lack of autonomy over their bodies, and exclusion from mainstream education. Society frequently treats disabled children as burdens rather than full participants in life.

🔹 Economic Status → Low-income children experience food insecurity, housing instability, and educational barriers—and their needs are often ignored in policy decisions.

👉 Childism reinforces other systemic biases—further marginalizing children based on race, gender, class, and ability.

💡 How Do We Challenge Childism? Steps for Creating Change

🌱 Respect children’s voices. Kids deserve to be heard in conversations that impact them. Ask them for their opinions and take their feelings seriously.

🏡 Make public spaces child-inclusive. Advocate for family-friendly infrastructure instead of excluding kids from public life. Cities should prioritize accessible playgrounds, stroller-friendly paths, and community seating that encourages intergenerational connection.

🧩 Shift adult-centered thinking. Instead of saying “Kids shouldn’t be here,” ask “How can we make this space welcoming for all?”

📚 Support policies that uplift families. Universal childcare, equitable education, and paid parental leave benefit everyone, not just parents.

🤝 Educate yourself & others. Awareness is the first step toward dismantling harmful attitudes.

🗳 Advocate for youth rights. Support efforts to lower the voting age, reform punitive school policies, and ensure children’s voices are represented in policymaking.

💭 Final Thought:

Children are not second-class citizens. Their needs, rights, and experiences matter.

A more inclusive society begins when we stop seeing children as inconveniences and start seeing them as equal members of our communities.

How do you think we can challenge Childism in everyday life? Let’s discuss.

Spirit Baby Communication: How To Best Receive Your Spirit Baby Reading…

How to Best Receive Your Spirit Baby Psychic Reading

Hello!
You’re probably here because you read “Spirit Babies” by Walter Makichen or perhaps, you found me on social media and learned about spirit babies from my page.
Receiving a spirit baby reading is a sacred and deeply personal experience. It’s a moment of connection with the souls who wish to come through you, bringing wisdom, love, and insight from the Spirit Baby Realm. But to fully receive these messages, it’s important to prepare your heart and mind in a way that allows you to embrace them openly.

One of the most powerful things you can do before your reading is release expectations about who your future child is “supposed” to be.

As parents and women (and many of us who have been socialized as women), we are often conditioned to dream of parenthood and motherhood in very specific ways. From childhood, we create internal stories about our future children—their personalities, their looks, their gender, their interests, even their life paths. We build up these expectations without even realizing it, shaping them around our own desires, our own healing, and the visions we’ve carried for so long.

We must remember one truth above all: Your spirit baby is their own sovereign soul. They are coming here with a purpose, a path, and a truth that may not fit within the structures you’ve unconsciously created. Our jobs as caregivers is to nurture them so that they feel loved and safe enough to go pursue their life goals. 

How to Open Yourself to Their True Messages:

Release the Picture in Your Mind: Let go of the specific image of who you believe your child will be. Instead, invite in curiosity. Trust that your child’s soul is far greater than any vision you could create.

Be Willing to Listen, Not Just Hear: Your spirit baby may communicate messages that surprise you, challenge you, or ask you to see them in a new way. Stay open. Let them reveal themselves to you on their own terms.

Embrace the Unknown as a Gift: It is an act of deep love to allow your child to be exactly who they are meant to be—not who you expected them to be. This begins even before conception. The more you create space for their truth now, the more you prepare yourself to be a mother who honors their soul’s journey.

Surrender to the Divine Timing of Your Connection: Sometimes spirit babies come through with messages that require patience, healing, or shifts in perspective. Trust that every message is for your highest good, even if it doesn’t fit the timeline or expectations you originally had.

🤍Your spirit baby reading is not just about receiving answers—it’s about opening a dialogue with the souls who are waiting to come through. When you approach this reading with openness, surrender, and love, you allow for the deepest, most beautiful connections to unfold.

🤍Are you ready to receive your spirit baby’s messages with an open heart? Let’s begin this sacred journey together.

Spirit Baby Bath Ritual for Spirit Baby Communication during Pisces season

🌊 Spirit Baby Water Ritual for Pisces Season 🌊

Let’s put the spotlight on our snuggly baby sweethearts of the zodiac: Pisces. 

Pisces, your soul thrives in the embrace of water. Your spirit baby invites you to soothe your nervous system and open a gentle space for connection through this sacred bath ritual. 

🛁✨Step 1: Arrive in Your Bath Bliss

Sink into warm, comforting waters. Let your body soften. If you like, add:

🌿 Epsom salt for cleansing energy

🌹 Rose or lavender oil for heart-opening

💙 Blue or white candles for calm & clarity

💖 Rose Quartz on the edge of the tub for heart opening & love

💜 Pair with Amethyst for centering into your heart-space 

🫁Step 2: Breathe with Intention

Spirit babies love when you slow down and tune in. Try this breathwork:

🌬️ Inhale through your nose for 4 counts

⏳ Hold for 4 counts

💨 Exhale slowly for 7-8 counts

🔄 Repeat until a yawn arises—this is a sign your body is relaxing.

💖 Step 3: Open to the Unseen

As the bubbles rise & swirl, imagine them carrying messages from your spirit baby. Let your mind drift. Close your eyes. Focus your mind and mental energy in between your two actual eyes, where your mind’s eye lies.

Let’s sit here for a few minutes, being mindful of what feelings, symbols, songs, or whispers come through?

🐠 Pisces, we know you shine 88% of the time—fun, charming, magnetic. But that 22% (because you’re extra) of you needs solitude, deep reflection, and space to process big emotions (which are always valid, btw). Let this bath be a sacred space where you don’t have to hold anything back—just be, feel, receive.

🥰 Your spirit baby feels your heart in these quiet moments when you’re centered and relaxed. They see your sensitivity as your greatest strength. Remember that it really only takes 17 seconds to shift it all. And you’re the queens and kings of a SOLID shift— like a wave. In the best of ways. We are all lucky to be awash with your love for it, too. You should probably go hug another Pisces. We all know you’re the best huggers of the zodiac anyway. You deserve that hug back. 

Take your time. Open your eyes. Roll your shoulders. Wiggle your toes and fingies. When you’re ready, emerge refreshed, lighter, and deeply connected. 

Have more time to spend with these feelers, my Piscean babes? If you want to lean into this more and dig a little deeper…

Let this inspire a spontaneous journal session we all know you’re so good at. 🙃

💙🌊 Now go Sashe away and be that watery, regal and mystical @ss bish we know you are. 

You should probably go hug another Pisces. We all know you’re the best huggers of the zodiac anyway. You deserve that hug back. 

Did you try this? 

Drop a 🛁 if you’re soaking this up & want me to keep going next month with the magic. 

You know I love you. 🤍

FAQ about Spirit Babies & Spirit Baby Communication from the first psychic medium with an orb connection since Walter Makichen.

I wanted to share my personal views, answers, wisdom and messages I’ve received on all things Spirit Babies in this blog.

Let’s start with the most common question, which is…

”What IS a spirit baby, anyway??”

A spirit baby is the soul with the intention of being your child. Spirit babies are pure energy forms that are going to incarnate. Spirit babies stay in the spirit baby realm (I call it the cosmic womb) until they’re comfortable taking up full residence in utero. They can have soul contracts that you and your parenting partner all agreed to pre-incarnation. Or sometimes you draw in a spirit baby while living your life or from interacting with a person who already has that spirit baby connected to them. Spirit babies appear to me first as energy orbs and then show me what they will look like on their projected path earthside.

”Do spirit babies know who both of their parents are before we do?”

Yes. It’s common for spirit babies to help get you two together as well. You can ask your spirit babies for help aligning you with their other chosen parent. I’m able to find out identifiable features and characteristics about your parenting partner from your spirit babies. Some people have multiple parenting partners.

”What about adoption and IVF?”

You don’t need to be the birthing parent to have a spirit baby connection. I’m able to see all of your future children, adoptive or step- it doesn’t matter. I also have met many men who have spirit babies who help them choose their mothers/birthing parents as well! I myself, for example, have had a spirit baby that let me know they may come through as an adoption. So that’s possible. Life finds a way. Spirit babies find a way.

”How come I can have spirit babies that AREN’T meant to come through in this lifetime, when some are? Why is that?”

Some spirit babies are meant to be grid-holders, making sure that the energy is balanced and acting as a permanent spirit guide for this lifetime. They have a soul that is meant to be your child though, but not always in this particular lifetime. Sometimes spirit babies are with you in the EXCEPTIONAL case where things go so well that they CAN come through, as a bonus, surprise, often third, fourth and beyond child… I have even communicated with spirit babies who had come through as a dog in their parents lifetime, after having been their child, or in preparation to be their child in a future lifetime. That spirit baby and parent/child relationship frequency is present, which is why that energy comes up.
