“I am often asked by parents if I will read their child to help them,” says Tori Quisling, clairvoyant practitioner and founder of N.Y. Center for Clairvoyant Development, in Port Washington. “I best help children by reading and communicating with the parent who is concerned. I help parents to ‘see’ their children differently and find what their original soul agreement is for their child as well as the child’s past lives, spiritual path, and more to promote healing.” This is something Quisling does to give the parent insight into communicating and responding to the child’s needs.

As a clairvoyant practitioner as well as a parent and teacher in elementary and middle schools for more than 15 years, Quisling has found the following questions and statements helpful for parents to consider when exploring the spiritual nature of the parent-child relationship, which she says begins before the child is born. Quisling—who has appeared on CBS New York News and the Today Show and has been featured in NY Daily News—teaches these and other ideas in workshops, private readings, and group classes utilizing meditation and visualization along with on-the-spot readings. On August 6, from 7 to 9 p.m., she is offering this experience for free at the L.I. Holistic Moms group meeting at the Oyster Bay Community Center, on Church Street, in Oyster Bay.

What is the original agreement you made with your child before he/she was born? What did you agree to learn from each other?

Realize that your child chose you (and the other parent) and there is a greater plan at work.

Ask “clairvoyant”-type questions. Rather than “Will, my child be okay?” ask the following: “What creative ways can I support my child at this time?” and “What role do I play on my child’s journey?”

Begin to “see” your child as a wise soul with his/her own path and guidance separate from yours. See his/her purpose and skills in his/her heart.

Intend to communicate with your child’s personal guidance system (guides), and communicate this in a way that supports his/her own confidence in listening to his/her own truth.
