Neurodivergence and the Spiritual Connection

Neurodivergence and the Spiritual Connection

I have found over time that people who are classified or diagnosed as neurodivergent have a different connection with God, Source, Spirit, the Universe or whatever you want to call it.

This began for me when I was a tiny child. I had a ready smile and was always able to attract people to me. I remember telling my Navajo grandmother that it was because I had Spirit inside of me. She smiled and looked knowingly at me as if she knew even more about this than I did.

As I got older, I abandoned this idea and dove head first into my very religious upbringing. By 18, however, I left everything behind. I focused on me, on having fun and on getting my education.

However, in my later 30s when my ability to mask broke down significantly during chronic illness and chronic pain, I started to notice that spiritual connection again. I realized that the more time I spent in spiritual practice, the more manageable life felt. It was at this point too that I rediscovered my love of channeling.

For those of you who are new here, channeling, for me anyway, involves communicating with my spirit guides and ancestors. It's a still, small voice inside of me and can be sometimes falsely equated with intuition.

Since my practice turned focus to many folks from the neurodivergent community, I have noticed this more every day.

People who are neurodivergent have a different line of communication to the Spirit world.

Notice that I did not say better, I did not say superior. I just said different.

For example, I have noticed that people who are diagnosed as having autism or suspected of having autism spend more time in the spiritual realms.

Is this because of the sensory overwhelm? Is this because it feels better? Or is this something that we are born with?

I can't answer any of these questions, but I can say that it is something that has been noticed by other people. In his book, Autism and the God Connection, William Stillman talks about different neurodivergent children and their various epiphanies, communications and even sometimes prophetic talks with God.

I know that this can be a sensitive subject for many, but I encourage you to notice the fact that historically, people who were ostracized always found deep connection in the spiritual world. I don't hold it outside of the realm of possibility that this may be the same thing now.

When there is trauma present, or even OCD in a person on the autism spectrum, I've noticed that the spiritual connection can be more intense. Time spent in the ethers and channeling about why this trauma happened to them and how to recover from it can supersede all else. Some may call this a special interest. I just call it practical.

If you have the ability to communicate with the Divine, why wouldn't you do it and ask for direction?

If you would like to have a channeling session with me or anything at all really, you can book a session here. I look forward to chatting about this more with you soon!
