The Soul Contracts with Children
The soul contracts with our children are a major part of our soul paths.
Our children are our biggest teachers, and they’re asking us to heal.
Take a breath. Pause. You have landed here for a reason. Feel this energy gently inviting you to receive.
📣 The Soul Contract Session (link at the end of the post) is available only to members of my Empress Mama Circle.
Before we get into the specifics of the soul contracts with children, the biggest takeaway I want you to take with you is that your relationship with your children is unique. There are no parenting experts out there. Please take your time to truly connect with the children you have (not the ones you wish or think you have) and go from there.
Now, let’s define the soul contract: It’s a spiritual contract that souls make before incarnating into each lifetime. What’s in it depends on what the soul wants to learn and is informed by previous lifetimes and what was learned or not previously. The soul of a child before they’re conceived or born is called spirit baby.
The types of soul contracts with children
We often incarnate with the same group of souls, even if roles may differ, so you and your child may have things to solve that were parts of previous lifetimes. Or it may be a brand-new contract. And at other times, only the child chooses the parents, while the parents are already on the physical plane. Every case is unique.
How to begin to understand your soul contract with your children
To give you an idea of how to start seeing the soul contract in your relationship with your children, look at the emotions and wounds they are bringing to the surface. Children are healers because they have the power to trigger healing in mothers.
I’ll give you some examples based on my personal experience and work with my clients:
My postpartum brought my anxiety to the forefront, and I had to deal with it. My son came to heal my anxiety, but he also helped me find my soul mission, which is to help other moms heal.
I work with moms who struggled to have children and underwent IVF. Sometimes, the struggle was in the contract because the wait makes the relationship between mom and child more meaningful. Other times, the mom needed this experience to help other moms who struggle.
Difficult children often come to overachievers and perfectionists who are hard on themselves to teach them to nurture their feminine side, throw away the parenting playbook, and listen to their intuition.
The healing role of soul contracts with children
The bottom line is that children usually come to heal a major pattern of the mother. If your children are bringing up old traumas and wounds, see them as an opportunity to heal. And here, I want to mention a channeled message that I received regarding this topic. These are messages that I channel during meditation:
The soul contract with your children works together with all your other soul contracts. You can see this as an orchestra of different instruments that, together, create your unique soul signature. The harp, a gentle instrument that brings healing and harmony, is the soul contract with your children.
If this perspective resonates with you, you may begin to see that your connection with your child is not random, but part of a much deeper journey. Motherhood often becomes a path of awakening, healing, and remembering who you truly are. I explore this more deeply in The Path of the Spiritual Mother.
If you feel called to uncover the purpose behind this sacred bond with your child, we can go deeper in the Soul Contract Session. Understand why your child chose you and what your souls came here to learn together. Bring healing, deeper connection, and understanding into your motherhood journey.
