How I came up with conscious books for children

 

The Adventures of Energy Annie is an award-winning book series about conscious living for children through the medium of energy healing.

Since the publishing of the first book in 2016 and the second book in 2017, we have experienced an overwhelming positive response both from children and parents, and even grandparents, too!

And it’s because of this great response that we are now reaching out with this blog in the hopes of spreading Annie’s message far and wide, with the purpose of creating a better and more harmonious world, and we are hoping that with your interaction in comments and questions in this format Annie’s message will be shared and grow as each book is released.

So, first: how did this series even come to be?

It all started a couple of years ago when I was asked by a good friend if I would teach his children a healing technique. He knew that this was my work, as I travel internationally to carry the sacred wisdom to others who are interested; however, most of my time had been devoted to spanning the globe and working with adults, as well as doing research.

But I love children, and during my young adult life spent much time teaching children skiing during the winter, and swimming during the summer, and seeing a new opportunity I responded enthusiastically.

However, the participants rapidly began to grow to include his brother’s children, and then his cousin’s children, and others, too.

I asked my friend, “Does your family meditate with the children, or do yoga, or speak about healing methods?
“Ah, no.” He answered.

So I made a suggestion that I’d look around to locate a book to read to them that might cover some of the basics.

I looked all over in stores and online for a children’s book on energy healing and the only one that I found used black and white stock photographs of children placing their hands on other children and was written in heavily adult language.

This did not seem to me to be the answer or what I thought to be the best mode of explaining to a younger audience. So I sat down to write a one-page flyer, similar to what was already created for adults. My goal was to change this adult flyer into an acceptable children’s version.

Five hours later, the first book arrived, and The Adventures of Energy Annie was born.

In a global world where so many people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities are incorporating basic spiritual disciplines into their lives — such as yoga, mediating, qigong, tai chi, and many different types of energy healing methods – I wanted to include a way for families to also include their children, and this how this book was born, and since turned into a series.

The second book that has been published is called The Adventures of Energy Annie:
Learning Respect, and coming soon are the following:

Book III:
The Adventures of Energy Annie: The Importance of Integrity

Book IV:
The Adventures of Energy Annie: Understanding Love

and

Book V:
The Adventures of Energy Annie: The Power of Thought
