BABIES FEEL WHAT LIES BENEATH THE SURFACE

Babies are indeed wise, highly sensitive, and masters at speaking frequency, which means they are able to feel what is not spoken but lies beneath the surface.
And yet we think that babies are not listening; they might not be speaking in words, but their bodies are highly attuned to feeling vibrations after being immersed in water for 9 months. Their first language is vibrational and they are fluent at that.
In fact babies feel everything in a world which tries desperately to feel less. A baby feels when you are respectful, a baby feels when you see them, and a baby feels when you are asking for their consent.
A baby feels when you say ‘I love you’ and yet you feel tired and angry. A baby can perceive sex as violent and a baby can feel if your truth is real or just words that are coming from our head.
In an ideal world, we can speak of what lies beneath the surface and not hide behind our adult discomfort and our own ‘inner baby’ traumas. Incoherence is confusing, feels unsafe and even perceived as violent from a baby’s perspective.
All this doesn’t make us bad people but perceived trauma is mostly a lack of presence and awareness rather than an intention of harming with intent.
Babies are super sensitive and challenge us to be more true to ourselves and of course, to them. They are not seeking perfect adults but ones that are able to say what they feel and acknowledge when they cannot speak of what lies beneath the surface.
