Powerful Spiritual Practice: Become Like a Child 

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth

I am 52 and my family think I am losing my mind because I started playing, giggling, and joke. I love it

I met Teal in Switzerland a few years ago and I did not even know she had a RU-vid channel (I guess I was the only one who was there because of a book of her instead of her videos 😅). And I remember sitting there between one exercise and another and while everyone around me was doing something I was just in my thoughts. Then I looked up and saw Teal looking at me and smiling. Hahaha nothing special but it was such a cute moment and I wanted to share it with you, beautiful souls ✨

Teal when I first started watching your videos I felt overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information you have presented over the years and honestly was very confused and having a difficult time understanding. However I wasn't discouraged by this and continued progressing on my path. And now several years later every video I watch makes perfect sense, and I can see the cohesion between all of your teachings. It's like every video and teaching is a puzzle piece that has slowly come together to form a beautiful harmonious mosaic. Very grateful for you, thank you 🙏🏻

2:52 1. Spend time around children, join their world and their ways 2. Be in the present moment, take the full impact of the now 3. Play - for enjoyment & recreation. With no purpose or outcome of the activity. What’s your impulse to play? 4. Try new things & experience old things like it’s your first time! Reignite your state of wonder, does it need to make sense? 5. Be curious - keep your mind active. start from a place of not knowing. the world of music isn’t the same as the world of acting. Be a traveller 6. Be radically honest. Restore your sense of honesty 7. Let other people help you, connect with your needs. powerfully understand your needs and realize the importance of meeting these needs 8. Identify the qualities you see in children that you want to reown - creativity? curiosity? care free? the more awakened one becomes, the more a wise child you’ll be!

I've always had a more fun time with children, and felt like they were the easiest people to be around. I started to come to the conclusion that I really love humans and humanity. When I made that realization; it was because I had spent so much time with children, I realized children are the only ones that allow themselves to be human. So rather I think the Teaching "Be like a Child." Is actually "Become a Human again."

i love when Teal gets all worked up/excited when talking about something. you can tell by her eyes how much she admires and loves children. "needing others does not mean anything negative about a child and it doesn't mean anything negative about you." this is one of the most powerful realizations i've had and since implementing it my life has improved so much. great video ❤

Last week I was walking down the road I have walked many, many times. I picked up a yellow flower, then an interesting yellow leaf. Then I began a game of it to see how many yellow things I could find from nature. At the end I had a handful of different leaves and flowers that were all yellow. It took me into the childlike space. From one perspective it was “pointless” but I saw through the eyes of the child. It was a game, and it felt like I was playing with life and that my hands were full of treasure because I really saw what I was holding. I think that’s one of the sad things of “growing up”- we stop really seeing the world. A precious leaf or flower becomes “just another” leaf or flower... But when I stare into a flower I see the face of God. Thank you, Teal.

Glad i found this channel. Its been one of the most difficult years of my life. I lost a 25 year marriage because trust i put in someone other than myself,lost a family estate that was completely paid off,and all of my belongings are in a storage unit in a foreign country. Ive seen the "rain" as they say. The ONLY thing that has kept my sanity have been the musiçal gifts i was given as a child prodigy on the drums,and,my Leo sense of survival through the "lense" of my inner child. Grace be given back to the many manifestations of the goddess!

the ending made me cry. the thought that awakened beings are so childlike, I'm so proud to be me. I'm so grateful and excited for us to be free.... I'm so scared at the same time lol I'm a target.... I've been spiritually attacked and it's making me expand more and more. The environment I'm in, the challenges ahead are so scary Teal I hope you stay with me. I love you so much

1. Try new things or old things like a first time. 2. Be honest. 3. Be creative 4. Put your needs first

I didn't get to be like a child enough when I was a child. It wasn't safe enough for me to do so. It's like I had to be part-adult just to survive. Now I would like to create safety for myself in my life, this way I feel comfortable to let my guard down, do the things I want to do, prioritize fun in my life, and have confidence instead of self-consciousness. I want to be free to be myself for once in my life, instead of constantly being controlled and disapproved of.

I haven't watched the full thing yet but I can see how being child like creates acceptance because children never judge anything about themselves. They are in touch with the innocence of everything they feel and do. Thanks Teal

I'm 40 and have that play impulse of a child 😅😅,and l have students children in my English classes and it's a mess after the class. Love playing. I enjoy a lot. I do all these things you are talking about here😃😃,that means l've done it by intuition. It keeps my soul young. Great 😃👍👏! Thank you Swan 🦢🌹❤️

I’m gonna play again today! And won’t have a care in the world. 🤗

So spot on! Exactly what I need. I was pondering all of this... I'm pregnant and this make me think A LOT about children and thinking I can learn from my child instead of thinking about everything I have to teach him is so refreshing. Totally switch the perspective. Thank you Teal for your wisdom

i am going to see teal swan in my nightmares and when she speaks to me i will hear only all of her videos at once and my life will be completed, and by that i mean i will die immediately. love and light.

I've always been able to connect with children. Especially when I became a Grandmother. I was young because I had my Son when I was young. I as told by there Mother my daughter in law. How due you get to their level. I find it easy.Whn I due this it relaxes me a d I just enjoy being with them. We play and laugh. I enjoy it so much. 🌹🌹🌹

Oh my Goodness! Teal is so right. Children are magical! We need to get reacquainted with our inner child. It is so easy to lose sight of that with all the stress in our world. I was so much happier as an adult when I kept my inner child alive, its time to play. Who's in?

Align with your needs, awake yourself. Namastè 🙏🏻

I am a grandparent of two beautiful souls. One boy and one girl!! I tell the boy all the time bc he’s the older grand that he better not get in trouble with mommy during the week and get grounded bc then I get punished too and we can play! He says ok Nunna! I also am a retired pediatric LPN home health nurse. I took care of children who couldn’t talk with genetic issues and they were so much fun too play with also bc their little faces would just light up! Children do truly give us true unconditional love. So much to learn from them! My grands definitely keep my inner child at play!❤️

I wrote it all down to be like a child spiritually for Gods work

With all of your seriously important words and the Stern conviction you have ICU and you ARE lovely!

te amo muchísimo. I'm truly thankful for being alive at the same time as you. Thank you for your words, your time, your love.

This is very lovely, Teal! Also your energy and intelligence are so beautiful

The one thing I've always been good at, is this ❤️ Thank you Teal. I needed to hear this today.

Her passion is infectious Thanks Teal

When I'm at Whole Foods, I mix the vanilla granola with the strawberry granola, but I only write down the number for the vanilla granola on that little twist tie.

The path to wholeness is a path of learning to express all of the desires that lie within you. The deeper you dive into who you are and are able to harmonize these aspects of yourself, the more you expand and harmonize with the universe. -Much love from a growing RU-vidr

I absolutely am so happy I watched this video. Because I'm a big now. To go deeper people believe I had a hard childhood or I need drugs for the trauma. Truth is my parents love me deeply and let me be. I'm so grateful for them. This video is a true life reality. My happiness times are pretending that I was a pirate when vacationing in the Caribbean not posting I was there. I aways needed to connect with my inner child to keep me safe. I so enjoy my kids discovering life for themselves. That's my greatest happiness I've found. Right so much money and energy is put out to suppress our inner child its ridiculous. This is my favorite video to date.

wow I actually thought of doing the same thing 'experience things as if ur doing it for the first time' in the past few months and it indeed sparked so much joy, much love to Teal for this week's video and all of ur teachings

Psychedelics are a great way to explore becoming like a child.

I think this is the most important teaching of all and brings back the meaning of life when put into practice.

There is always so much to learn, I picked up two changes in art techniques and new supplies. I learned to receive more help and have needs. Baby steps to admitting needs are complicated. Calcified thinking. Rut. Being the opposite of the rut, change, grow elsewhere. I'm concerned a draft is here. I'm 41 and no child needs to go to war. I'll go instead. That's how I feel. I'm tired of decade three of the Serbians and Italians unhappy. I told both sides, yes, mom and dad are passed on I'm left. I can't stay well, myself or sober near them. As long as I stand on my own art I'm me. My art and identity are tied up. I tell myself I'm Linda first the art is a process. Flow with my creating nice art everyday is a new day. My art has backgrounds and sometimes the background is set but the subject of my art isnt there yet. A few days ago I found the subject for the painting but it took 41 years to get there it's why no rush no hurry no destruction onle creation, soul progression

"Pay" has been warped by social media. Most people don't truly enjoy things unless they can post those expeirences online and get feedback.

Teal, where you were all my life? You are like a ray of sunshine! Thank you so much! Love you! ❤️

Teal, I can't thank you enough for the impact you've had on my life & my personal spirituality!! Genuinely in my heart & soul your teachings & methods have made such a helpful change in my personal reality!! Thank you Teal I hope to meet you one day 🤞

The advice about trying old things as if new; is awe-inspiring. Especially feeling hindered as a child and that created so much anxiety in my life. New things were opportunities to mess up, to be wrong: instead of exciting and curious. I LOVE engaging children and listening to them to discover their way of thinking. I think it's so sad when I see a fellow parent shun their child for being a child. I used to think I disliked children...but it was actually my damage from childhood effecting me. Then I became a parent and discovered how damaged that part of me was. I wanted to be better for my kid. Suprisingly now I wish I had become an elementary teacher and still think about opening my own school one day....💭 I honestly only started to lose my childlike wonder and sense of play when enough people around me were critical of this. As long as you're not harming yourself/others not shunning important responsibility of course; then play!! As a child I don't remember being very happy, I don't remember being allowed free impulse to play. I was raised to coddle a narissitic single mom. I was raised very early on to primarily look to make others happy. I've had to learn to be like a child in that sense....having the natural boundaries of not caring THAT much what others think. To have fun and be happy without worrying about looking silly/crazy. Haha 🤣 Being a traveler of worlds is also fantastic. I am so grateful. I literally want to travel and not sure I will be able to. But not keeping oneself in the box of being an employee, or always being only a mom, or only a wife...etc..?! That is harder than being blunt imo. Always have had a hard time asking for help. Constant lesson for me. Lol

I recall when I was a child… and my first experiences with grade-school, my childhood activity was interrupted …and the news information sent to my parents… (I was in trouble often because I brought play toys); As an adult my play time became interrupted due to religion… (though in some respects it was the best thing I have done/and the worst thing I have done); But yes, I believe we need to have a ‘child-like’ attitude and curiosity… which becomes ‘magical’ when we want to manifest something in using our ‘imagination’.

Psilocybin and Burning Man are also extremely helpful in returning to childlike states.

I totally agree...we can re-learn much that we may have forgotten by playing with children and joining then in their world! Beautiful reminder..thank you!!!❤

I’m so glad you brought this up. They’re still in the moment. We’ve lost that spontaneity!

Yes! I’ve been doing and sharing this concept recently 💯💯💯✨✨✨💖💖💖

Thank you! I needed this so much! I feel like playing is actually all I ever really wanted. I've been missing it sOOO MUUUCh!

Teal, you truly are a collective treasure. I am new to watching your videos and I’ve learned so much that was still left for me to work out with my own healing and trauma even after having addressed some of the same issues in therapy. I appreciate your energy and unique way of teaching spirituality and the process of healing. I always leave a video with a new way of looking at whatever is being addressed. So I say all that to say, thank you so much for sharing this! I have always loved children and being around them, especially babies because EVERYTHING in the world is new and fascinating to them. I took my nephew outside this past Christmas and we sat in the grass (he lives in a concrete city and doesn’t get outside much 😄) and he immediately became fascinated with the grass! It was so beautiful to see his amazement at these blades of grass and his desire to show me his new found treasure. Listening to your video has shown me how I can incorporate into my life all these amazing qualities that I admire so much in children. And I’m so excited to begin! Asé to you! 🙏🏾 💜

yeah drink some 🍸 absinthe & see some fairies 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚

I love love love this. Before you posted this I had a deep reflection of my inner child. I cried. It just came out. I wrote down why I cried, that I was conscious of. Following this I listened to music as if it was my first time listening to those songs, took a shower, washed my hair (this is not so common as I have dreadlocks lol), danced. I felt joy. After this Carl Jungs warning to the world about the shadow self played. This inspired me to look even deeper, past the self and into the collective, and made a post on your self love challenge about integrating our shadow selves. Today is already full of synchronicities. Thank you for yet another enlightening video that just adds onto what I have already felt connected to today.

Words are just flowing from her mouth. What a beauty she is 😍

This is beautiful...I feel ive been reminded or have rediscovered that which was forgotten but was never lost....

I love that the inner child is the key... to think that all along, that was the point, becoming a wiser child. Great advice! Children are our greatest teachers.

Thank you for your videos everyweek, it's amazing how you can continously make fun, exciting and informative videos over the many years

This video came at exactly the right time for me. Thanks for making it, Teal. Much love. ♥️

I love to play and have been criticized for “acting like a child” lol turning 40 this year and I vow to never grow up! Lol you can still be responsible and make time to play. Thanks Teal 🙏🏻❤️ Love all your videos.

The childlike approach allows for renewed high potency curiosity resulting in a deeper interest in our existence. This is what I learned from you. Your content is loud and pure.

I am a playful person, I thought it was something wrong with me, LOL! 😹

I love being spontaneous! This last few months have been stifling. With the exception of my neighbors children. I love to take walks in the morning. Too cold to ride my bike yet but, I love picking up books again. I just recently became sober, I love the freedom I am experiencing as a truly sober person. 😎🙏🏽❤️

I'm truly blessed with 4 beautiful children. I feel my best when I'm with my children and other children, playing and having fun. I believe there's a deeper meaning behind this, I feel more comfortable around children and happier. My inner voice has been hinting to me to work with children. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge Teal.

When teal posts a video I immediately press like 👍 button, cause I know it's gonna be amazing 👏 😍

Teal has an ad of herself before her video. Not in/during. Before. One that you can skip. Did I skip it? Nope. I'm for this. 👍🏼

*sighs* I love it when she's soft like that... Puts me at ease.

"Join their World" fabulous valuable relevance in associations and experiences with all beings.

I am working with Children. It helps me so much to enjoy and live my inner Child 🧚🏻‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤪🤣🥰

You are my favorite youtuber! Give merch to Beast Philantrophy ! He is giving it away to people in need and that is exactly those people who needs you!!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This video is a gem! Thank you for all these reminders for reawakening the wise child within 💗🤸🦉✨

THANK YOU TEAL! I have been so needing a video like this! By the way, your 'Play' frequency painting speaks to me so deeply, like a vivid memory from my past. Here's to new ways of expressing our inner child!!! 🤠🤸🌶️

Very interesting and so accurate. Becoming a child again (figuratively )opening doors to so many opportunities and living life to the fullest incredible 🤩

Lately, I’ve been doodling and coloring in my journal just for the hell of it. It’s been so cool to be reminded of how much I used to do this😃.

This is life changing! Thank you Teal 🙏🏿

As I sit outside the gates of heaven, smoking my last cigarette as hell approaches me, my child self takes my hand and guides me through the final gate.

Yeaaaaaay. I was waiting for this video🥳 Very good, I’m ready to practice, perfect here in leo month

Teal would you please do another video on parts work...sharing some more things about it .....please....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot for this Teal!

I wanna emulate the sincerity, sincere enthusiasm and psychedness of sorts of children, as well as the innate wisdom children have.... and the sincerity of letting yourself feel whatever you feel and express it somehow! It's silly how children are guided to look up to grown-ups and to people in their late teens, through movies and such, making them seem cool... when all along it's the children who are the Force of Nature. ..on another note, before this life of mine is over, if I can, I'll raise my fist high and cry "freedom at last", freedom from chemical prison I've been subjected to for 7 years now. Every time I tried to escape, they put me back to that prison because "it's not okay to feel how you feel or behave how you behave, even if that doesn't harm anyone". Until that time, I keep training for a better life behind these invisible bars....

Thank you lovely Teal❤🌹 every words spoken tickled my heart. Wow, You are ❤ 🙏 much grateful to you!

I love listening to you it’s so very true. Working in mental health, it’s so very difficult to convince somebody to relax into their inner child. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that comes from allowing myself to connect with my inner child. Not only does it affect your mental health but your physical health as well and it’s also an amazing anti-aging technique

I have been feeling this so much lately! Wanting to create, find enjoyment in everything and have more fun. Thank you for the reminder/permission to enjoy life again

Teal, thank you I needed this.

2:51 So true. I watched the video of the girl in the dinosaur snow suit snowboard down a hill and I look at life totally different now ❤️

I am thankful for your content. My spiritual journey is so much fun. Thank you for helping. We are all so dependent on your contribution to the human collective. Every One Matters.

This was so beautiful Teal Thank you Dorothy

I'm thankful for all you teach Teal. Forever great full for your content!💜

Thank you! Love, love, loved this one 💕💕💕

Amazing video Teal. Can’t tell you how much I loved this video!

Very touching, thank you for this beatiful transmission

Thi video is meant for me. I’ve been thinking these past days of how kids just are

I was gonna be "like #778" but I didn't want to mess up the perfect number. ;) I don't hang out with adults, only grown ups who haven't forgotten how to be a child. Adults are a drag. My theme song has always been the Toys R Us theme song, and my spirit animal is Godzilla.

Thank you Teal, this came at the perfect time.. as always with your videos :) Sending you and your team a big hug

Teal! That is some amazing advice! 😍 Thank you so much for this video, I have always pondered upon the value of "having fun" - it seems like we discard it as we grow up, which is very unfortunate as I believe this is where all of our creativity lies. Being able to enJOY ("embody joy") and have FUN is the key ☺

With being into personality types zodiac signs and numerology I like the fact that Teal is a Gemini and one of those characteristics is being child like and her topic is on being child like in this episode.

I'm so excited! I've never been so early to a spiritual lesson in my life! I discovered your work 3 weeks ago... When I'm anxious, depressed or bored I watch your stuff. I have healed soooo much in this short period of time, I know I still got a long way to go, but the things that are manifesting in my life give me so much hope. Thank you so Much, 🙏

Another absolutely life changing video. Thank you Teal

I love this video Teal. I’m constantly told that I need to stop being childlike and to act my age. I was born in 1971 and as kids we believed that trees were there to be climbed and creeks were there to get wet and muddy in whilst catching tadpoles and frogs. I loved being a child. It was far better than adulting and I still climb trees and get muddy frequently. It’s good for the soul. 😇

Teal still has a child-like beauty about her.

Damn she always hits the spot!!!! Always! Gonna listen to this in her podcast version

I used to play with my nephew or any kid of my relative , so my mom used to get annoyed saying "show some maturity your no longer a kid" 😅😂 so I was right all along

Seriously, this is me and many other adults 😂 I’m super childlike which is why I’m trying to get help to. So I’m just showing myself as much as I feel comfortable to do so on RU-vid

Real is Teal❤️ I love her work

Greatest video ever! Thank you Teal.
