Shhhh . . . Can You Hear the Songs of Angels? is a love story. It is for every child.It is designed to acquaint children with natural sounds, even the sound of silence. Children can learn to be still and listen to external sounds ~ and internal ones. What a gift to have your child settle, to listen attentively, to play a game of listening for sounds often lost in the busyness of modern life. Let your children tell you about what they hear. Perhaps it will be sounds you have learned to tune out. Perhaps it will be Songs of Angels.

Do you want to improve your child's behavior? An undiscovered window to guiding your children is open while they sleep! During this time your child's developing ego-mind is quiet and cannot disagree or talk back. This is an open door for a caring parent to suggest alternative thoughts, feelings, and actions. A belief that your child holds like "Kids pick on me," becomes "Other children treat you with kindness," or "Other kids like you," or simply, "You are loved." As a parent you can generate affirmations of love, kindness, and happiness in the minds of your children. This is a sacred trust. Your children are watching, listening, and imitating you and other role models throughout each day. Sleep is a time to suggest the best to your children to enhance their self-esteem and their regard for others.

There is no better time to read a story to a friend or a loved one than when they are leaving this body and making their transition into the next Life. It is a time that can frighten us or fill us with sadness for our impending loss. If we can fill our hearts and minds with loving words and images of a Life beyond this Life, it can soothe us and the dear one we wish to help on their journey. Don't wait to read a eulogy after your Loved One is gone. Read a short story-a metaphor-inspired by a poem almost 200 years old. A sailing ship leaves the shore and as well-wishers shout their goodbyes, those on a distant shore chime their welcome. Ease the journey of anyone you care about by reading Sailing into the Light aloud to them.

Dr. Susan Highsmith is an enlightened renaissance grandmother! She is a seeker of truth and spiritual wisdom, a lover of science and knowledge, a caring mother and grandmother, and a qualitative researcher. The Renaissance of Birth is the culminating tapestry of her perspectives as she leads us through a deeply meaningful quest to understand how we bring in our children-how we conceive, carry and birth our babies-past-present-future. We are at a crossroads in our world view paradigm, our understanding of babies and what they need to thrive from the beginning of life, restoring balance between science and feminine wisdom, and how we all, as stewards of the next generation, can help make a difference. For parents-to-be and all of us, I recommend this book!
