A Spiritual Intuitive

Children with strong spiritual intelligence understand that they have a purpose in life. Their learning and interests revolve around discovering this purposeful pursuit. They also describe an inner connection that brings them peace or confidence. Nurturing their intuitive intelligence strengthens their connection and broadens their empathy and creativity.

All children ask early in life about the spiritual mystery. Where did my dog go when he died? Why is grandpa in heaven? Can I touch the stars? Children with spiritual intelligence, however, seem never to stop asking such questions. Their wonder and deeper understanding of the world continues to unfold as they mature.

These children seem to be the “old souls” we refer to when we hear their wisdom and ponder their goodness. The children with spiritual intelligence don’t turn it on and off. Their compassion is ingrained. Their connection to animals, nature and to the hearts of people is real and consistent.

Children with high intuitive intelligence can be perceptive and psychic. Psychic gifts like the ability to hear inner direction, see into the nonphysical worlds or sense and feel another’s emotions are gifts of intuitive intelligence, but are not necessarily spiritual. A child can see ghosts without a sense of unity; they may be fearful and not equipped to handle the situation. Visions of the nonphysical world leave children at a loss of direction. Prediction of perceived dire future events may frighten them, causing withdrawal.

A child with spiritual intelligence can be better equipped from their inner connection to deal with the ghost. Intuitive children attuned to the nonphysical worlds may be distracted by it. A spiritual child attuned to the nonphysical worlds with intuition can find purpose within it. For example, ACPI Intuitive Parenting classes teach parents how to value, recognize, and mentor intuitive abilities in their children.

Deepak Chopra describes intuition as an attribute of our mind, the ability to understand the subtler mechanics, while spiritual intelligence encompasses the attributes of the heart.

Intuition is the interpreter of the qualities of spiritual intelligence.
