Bonus- Mindful Magnetism: Embracing Positive Energy

The universe operates on a principle of energy magnetism — what you put out inevitably comes back to you. Through this mini-episode, we explore how consciously directing our energy toward positivity transforms not only our own experience but our entire parenting journey, especially with highly sensitive children.

Parenting presents countless opportunities to fall into negative thought patterns. When our children struggle with flexibility or experience overwhelming emotions, we often become trapped in spirals of worry and frustration. But what if we could train ourselves to approach these moments differently? I share practical mindset shifts that help us see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. This isn't about denying difficulties — it's about refusing to let them disconnect us from our intuition and our children.

The heart of this episode revolves around powerful meditation practices, affirmations, and mantras designed specifically for parents navigating intense emotional landscapes with their children. From the simple yet profound breathing exercise of "inhaling patience, exhaling impulsivity" to the grounding parental affirmation "I am confident about my parenting and our amazing future, no matter what is occurring at this moment," these tools provide immediate relief during challenging situations. The culminating mantra — "I am open to good in my life, now and always, and so it is" — offers both parents and children a touchstone for cultivating receptivity to positive experiences. Try sharing these with your sensitive children before school or during transitions to help them feel empowered amidst overstimulation.

Ready to transform how you respond to parenting challenges? Start with just one affirmation practiced consistently throughout your day. Notice how your energy shifts, how your connections deepen, and how your perspective broadens to welcome more of what you truly want into your family life.

Episode Transcript

Carrie Lingenfelter (00:00):
So any energy that you put out there
you're going to receive.
If I were in a social situationand somebody maybe said
something about me and I didn'tlike it and it made me feel
gross but I knew it wasn't true,am I going to go and spread
hatred, mean things aboutanother person?

(00:20):
No, because if we're looking atthe magnetism in life, that
means that somebody else isgoing to go do that about me or
that means somebody is going tobe feeling those gross vibes
about me.
That's not what I want.
I want to spread positivity.
I want to change my mindsetinto okay, that person is not

(00:41):
somebody that I'm going to havea deep meaningful connection
with right now, but I'm going tofocus instead on deep,
meaningful connections withspiritual people that I connect
with.
I'm going to focus my energyinto what it is that I'm wanting
.
Hi, conscious Parents, it's Kerihere, and I am here with a
little info about raising ourmindful kids.

(01:02):
I've got some tips and tricksabout breaking free of the box
and becoming who you are andteaching your kids how to do
that.
Along the way, join us.
Hi there, happy listeners.
It's Keri here and I'm soexcited I have a new project
called Conscious Family Travelson YouTube.
It's all about mindfullytraveling with our highly

(01:23):
sensitive kids.
We love to give tips and toolsabout how you can pack, how you

We love to share in-depthguides of certain areas that we
are traveling to, as well assome of the actual items that we
use along our journey.
So join us on this ConsciousFamily Travels journey.

(01:46):
Hi, and welcome back to thismini episode.
I'm so excited to have you guyshere today.
I am working on somethingmyself and I thought it was a
perfect opportunity to share itwith you guys.
We're going to have some ideasof mantras we can say to
ourselves, prayers we can say toourselves and some affirmations
that we can do duringmeditations and such.

(02:07):
Today we're going to be talkingabout positivity.
I understand there's the pieceof toxic positivity, but I'm
here to say there are piecesthat we can still do with
positivity that can turn upbetter in the long run for us as
parents, as intuitive people,just as humans in general.

(02:29):
Right, positivity is somethingthat I am encompassing this year
2025.
I had that phrase light me up,where I'm looking as challenges,
as opportunities to heal, growand learn, and along with that
comes positivity, and I knowthat there's the toxic
positivity, but let's focus onthe mindset changes that we can

(02:53):
do.
So when we talk about positivityI've talked about this a lot I
think this is really good for usto be models of role, models of
it for our kids, becausethey're entering into a world
that can be overstimulating,challenging and just hard on our
pieces of being a human.

(03:14):
So when we think about thesepositivity pieces, it leads us
this room for being open to whatthe earth, what the world can
bring us right.
It also helps us to not putthese layers of protection
around us If we are wanting toretreat from the world, if we

(03:36):
are wanting to lessen ourconnection with ourselves,
lessen our connection with theworld, lessen our connection
even with our kids.
When we're having a hard day,all of these different pieces
that we're putting on ourselvesand protecting ourselves and
closing ourselves off, that isnot going to help you hear your
heart, that is not going to helpyou connect with your kids,

(03:57):
that is not going to help youconnect with the world.
So you can see theseopportunities that are brought
to you or doors that are openedfor you, things you are meant to
learn If you're not in tunewith yourself and not connected
with yourself, how are you goingto heal, grow, change or learn?
I want you guys to know thatany challenge is going to be

(04:29):
hard, it's going to knock youdown, it's going to surprise you
.
Sometimes it's going to hit youin the gut and no matter what
spiritual guru you are, youstill need to tune into the
mindset pieces of looking forthe positive, looking toward the
universe.
In what am I meant to heal,grow, learn, change in this
challenge right now?

(04:49):
But also don't forget that inthe world, in our universe,
there is the piece of magnetism.
There is a magnet for energy.
So any energy that you put outthere, you're going to receive.
If I were in a social situationand somebody maybe said

(05:11):
something about me and I didn'tlike it and it made me feel
gross, but I knew it wasn't true, am I going to go and spread
hatred, mean things aboutanother person?
No, because if we're looking atthe magnetism in life, that
means that somebody else isgoing to go do that about me or

(05:31):
that means somebody is going tobe feeling those gross vibes
about me.
That's not what I want.
I want to spread positivity.
I want to change my mindsetinto okay, that person is not
somebody that I'm going to havea deep, meaningful connection
with right now, but I'm going tofocus instead on deep,
meaningful connections withspiritual people that I connect

(05:54):
with.
I'm going to focus my energyinto what it is that I'm wanting
.
I'm going to not go around andtalk about it with other people.
Maybe I have to get it outbecause I have to vent at home
with my husband or my partner,somebody that I truly trust and
connect with that I know isn'tgoing to share any of it.
Maybe I need to do some ofthese meditative pieces that I'm

(06:16):
going to share with you.
Also, it can be used in aparenting pattern too.
So if we're thinking about howour kids Maybe, if I'm thinking,
oh, it's so annoying that mykid can't be flexible, I just
want to pick them up from schooland go to the grocery store.
I know normally when we comehome, we have our snack, we do

(06:38):
our singing bowl, we have thiswhole procedure that my kid
can't.
They just be flexible.
Maybe we can change thatmindset into let me help my kid
find one small, flexible piece.
Let me help my kid maybe not dothe singing bowl right when we
get home.
Maybe we could do it rightbefore dinner.
Let me help my kid findsomething that their body can

(07:00):
handle, and I'm changing mymindset into what I don't want
to see, into what I do want tosee, because of that magnet
piece.
Right, we want to feel thatmagnet energy of what we want
coming back toward us.
So I love this idea of usingaffirmations, chants, prayers

(07:23):
when we're meditating, and oneof them I was recently doing a
project and it talked aboutinhaling what we want, exhaling
what we don't want.
That's a big one in energy work, right?
So let's get into.
When you get into a deepmeditation and you guys, you
choose your path to get there,you can just focus on your

(07:46):
breathing, you can feel thechair that you're sitting on
your feet on the floor, all ofthose pieces to help you calm
your body and connect deeper,raise your awareness.
So an example of one I would useis I inhale patience, I exhale

(08:07):
impulsivity, and you say itthree times I inhale patience, I
exhale impulsivity, I inhalepatience.
Ooh, that's a good one, mamasand daddies, I exhale
impulsivity.
Now another one that I like Iinhale compassion.

(08:32):
I I exhale judgment.
So do that one three times.
I inhale strength, I exhaleweakness, and one of the things
that I love to do is have anaffirmation, a prayer, something
that helps me to connect withmyself, and I like to say it

(08:53):
maybe three times a day, andsometimes I do it before school
pickup I am confident about myparenting and our amazing future
, no matter what is occurring atthis moment.
That would be a powerful one tosay to yourself when your kid is
having a meltdown I amconfident about my parenting and

(09:15):
our amazing future, no matterwhat is occurring at this moment
.
We're changing that mindset.
We're thinking about the future.
We're not going into the rabbithole of oh my gosh, my kid is
having a meltdown, they're nevergonna stop.
Ah, he's turning 10 soon.
How is he having this meltdown?
Oh gosh, do I need to get?
Ah, he's turning 10 soon.
How is he having this meltdown?
Oh gosh, do I need to get moreOT?
Do I get more counseling?

(09:36):
Do I need to go do Reiki?
Like Carrie said, reiki helpswith the kids.
No, stay out of the rabbit hole, connect with yourself.
Try this affirmation, prayer,parenting.
Try to focus on the change thatyou want to see, because guess
what?
Even this 42-year-old mama, shestill has her meltdowns right.

(09:56):
Highly sensitive people.
We all have thatoverstimulating moment.
It's part of being a human andhaving compassion for ourselves.
So one last thing I want toleave you with, and this is one
that just it just really hit meand I love this one and I'm just
gonna keep saying this.
I think I'm gonna write it onmy mirror.

(10:17):
I texted it to myself beforethe kids come out of school.
I'm gonna say it before I go tobed.
When I wake up in the morningand I do a little mini
meditation half asleep, I'mgoing to say I am open to good
in my life, now and always, andso it is.
Let's say that one again,because I love that one.

(10:37):
I am open to good in my life,now and always, and so it is.
Thank you, parents, for tuningin and connecting with me.
I hope it can help you connectwith yourself.
Oh, that one that I just said.
Let's teach our kids this one.
This is a perfect one to saybefore we go to school.

(10:59):
This is a perfect one to say aswe're shaking off the energy of
the day and walking to the car.
Let's help our kids feelempowered, especially our
sensitive kiddos.
I see you, parents doingamazing work.
Well, that's a wrap.
