A main focus area for teaching metaphysics with children is developing creative visualization skills through guided imageries, "Imaginary Field Trips", as well as developing meditation skills and psychic talents such as intuition. I also teach crystal use and healing, power of positive thinking focus, sacred geometry, and Shamballa-Reiki for Children.

• All students have special talents.
  
• All students have a right to an education commensurate with their abilities.
  
• Most students with very high academic abilities need to be challenged to maintain their interest in learning.
  
• Creativity should be encouraged and guided, not stifled.
  
• High expectations often yield high quality results.
  
• Giftedness = High Academic Ability + Task Commitment + Creativity
  
• Gifted is a potential for behavior which is demonstrated at certain times, under certain conditions in a certain talent area.
  
• We need to teach the multiple intelligences, with an awareness of different learning styles and mind styles.
