Youth Empowerment

Sound and Energetic Alchemy to Wake Up, Balance, and Re-Align Your Whole Self

“I have had the privilege of working with children for most of my life. I taught elementary school for 15 years at the school where I went to school as a boy. I worked with the Youth of Unity for over 20 years. At summer camps, rallies, conferences, and celebrations I have created and shared music that reminded children of their greater presence, power, and being. And all the while, I was really writing songs for my own inner child…to heal the woundings of a life of challenge; to reclaim my own sense of value; to remember who I really am and to stand fully in that frequency. That journey is in these songs on these CDs. They have fed the hearts, minds, and spirits of thousands of children. They are for singing and sharing. Make them your daily food, no matter your age…because it is never too late for a happy childhood…Blessings, Mark Stanton Welch”

When I left elementary school teaching after 13 years I created self-esteem assemblies to take back to school. With my then wife, Erin Noble, we presented many of these songs and watched many children reconnect the dots to their value.

More songs designed to simply reinforce the truth of your being. Most take a concept, state it, and recycle it. Let them become mantras that feed your day by playing through your mind. Rather these play than, “I can’t get no satisfaction”!

When I first started touring with Sonia Choquette we were promoting The Wise Child. I wrote these songs for the key principles. On Wise Child, the song, my daughter, Gabriela, sang. She was 5. Use this to open your own intuition...

As my time writing songs for youth events grew, I kept creating cassettes, back in the day. When they gave rise to CDs I decided to make a compilation of what I considered the most frequently used and enjoyed songs that I used at the events. This CD is the first one I suggest for youth programs or even families as the messages are very positive and life affirming, spiritual, and singable. There are at least 20 years of children who have grown up singing these songs. Experience the power of these intentional songs that serve the child in all of us as well.

These songs are inspiring and empowering to youth as well as adult, for too often the wounds of the adult are put into place during the years of childhood. The chaos of the teen years can lead to a whole assortment of beliefs and actions that are disempowering. It is never too late to wake up. Songs like these are assisting in energetically shifting the resistance and the energetic debris of limiting beliefs. Most are short and repetitive and, like a chant or a mantra, use the repetition to "reprogram" the subconscious beliefs, resulting in an expanded life that reflects higher frequency knowings.

I do a great deal of youth work in camps, churches, and special events. These heart centered programs are loving and powerful. Connections happen quickly when there is a framework of safety and encouragement to connect. Often at the end of the weekend of deep affirmation of self and community there is an appreciation ceremony. This is very powerful and beautiful and can often take up to an hour to complete. Typically, I will sing a set of songs that resonate with the experience. Often participants sing . It is a way to amplify the loving vibration and it gives an outlet for much of the emotion that arises when each is witnessed by his/her peers. These are many of the songs I sing throughout the hour.

Taken from the book, More Weekly Gratitudes:
This Week’s Gratitude 2
For the Inner Child and for Children
This Week’s Action Statement
”I give great thanks for the sweet and precious and knowing part of me that holds the Divine Blueprint of That I AM. I express endless appreciation by paying attention to and witnessing the beauty of children everywhere. I am grateful for the playful life that awaits my attention and nurturing of my child self. And so it is!”

This Week’s Information and Action
This week we acknowledge the beginnings of us, the child self. This is a double recognition of the child inside that we each retain, as well as the children of the world, our own and the greater population. It is in this frequency that we are inspired to remember our beginnings and the original promise and programmings with which we entered this dimension. Nurturing attention given to the child, in any form, is a powerful healing force.
Our own inner child self carries the blueprint of our unique expression of the I Am expressing as Me. The design is intact, though strongly influenced and compromised by the particular forms of living we each experience. The woundings and the compromises are held as energetic memory in the cells and tissues and chakras, waiting for eventual release and clearing. Choosing to pay inner attention to this precious child part of ourselves is a true key to the kingdom, as it holds the healing potential to help us reclaim knowledge and power. The opportunity is always there to have the happy childhood we never had. And we are the one who can provide this for our own inner child self. When you, as the adult, choose to pay nurturing attention to this inner part of you, then the patterns and fears and actions and walls begin to diminish. As the child feels safe, he/she lets go of trying to control and keep things in place for fear of annihilation. As the child develops trust and releases the old perceptions, your life begins to flow because many of the patterns and beliefs we routinely apply are based around misinformation and decisions made in a breath by our child self…to survive. And until further notice or re-education the child views the world with trepidation and refuses to evolve.
While all along the child desires to be valued, nurtured, played with, kept safe and secure, included, listened to/witnessed, and educated. Invite your child back home and begin to take good care of that part of you. The results will be stunning.
The presence of a world of children is a constant reminder to attend to our own child self through conscious care and support of children. The love we so freely give to those children is the very salve that would heal all our woundings if internally applied. The heart opening empathy and compassion placed upon strangers is what is needed to apply to our own self. So, witness and celebrate children, because it comes right back.
So create a sacred and special place in your home, an altar, for your child self. Place mementos and reminders of you as a child: picture, awards, letters, keepsakes, etc. Visit it daily and tend that space. It will translate to the inner child feeling special…thus giving up resistance and control.
Listen to your feelings and your physical callings. These are the traditional forms of communication for the inner child. Rather than shutting down or medicating, take a moment and a breath to go within and ask questions about what is up. Seek information from the child. Listen. Help him/her. Better yet, learn to use your non dominant handwriting to access direct contact with your child self. Ask questions with your dominant hand and then let the child answer. It is a remarkable process.
Wherever you go and whatever you do include the child. In decisions, in play, in work, in performance, in reflection, in emotion. This will pay off quickly. Give gratitude for actions and celebrate your new relationship together. Play a lot. Do things that you haven’t for a long, long time. Love her/him without hesitation. Sing and dance. Watch children play. Every time you see one check in to yourself and appreciate the beauty of you… thanks for choosing wisely!
