Question: Dear Masters, I have questions about a condition that is called ADHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD many years ago, and I am quite certain that my daughter also has ADHD. I am learning a lot about ADHD recently, mainly because I want to parent my daughter in the best way possible for her. I love my daughter very much and truly value our relationship, but some aspects can be quite challenging. I am doing my best to maneuver both of us through the challenges of everyday life. I have found articles and parenting guides on YouTube that focus specifically on parents of children with ADHD. These resources address issues like the frequent and intense temper tantrums that I observe in my daughter. Experiencing her daily emotional outbursts can be overwhelming at times. I am wondering about the spiritual aspects of that condition. It is commonly known that many successful people have ADHD and that people who have ADHD are wired differently in the brain. Can you please shed some light on that? I had the thought that ADHD may be a trauma symptom from a past lifetime. Am I wrong?

Well again, I cannot give you a simple answer because it is quite individual. It is true that there are what you call successful people from a worldly perspective, who have ADHD or other psychological conditions. What you can see in this condition is that they are driven to do something. They become obsessive-compulsive about it to the point where they are so eager to produce results that of course they produce results compared to people who are more relaxed and are less driven in life. Now there are some in the world who will say this is a positive. But for many of these people, the successful people with ADHD, it is actually as you have intuited because they have trauma from past lives. And for at least some of these people, the trauma was of such a nature that they feel the need to compensate for something. And that is why they are driven to do this, to achieve certain results, to compensate.
The thing is, as we have explained many times, you are not going to grow spiritually and you are not going to heal your psychology by compensating through physical means for a lack that is a psychological lack.
Yes, it can help some people to look back and to use various forms of therapy including going into past lifetimes to resolve the trauma. And you could certainly approach it that way for yourself and you could wait until your daughter is old enough to make use of such forms of therapy. Naturally you can use for yourself these tools for discovering what subconscious self you created as a result of the trauma. There is a substantial number of the people with ADHD who are avatars and their trauma goes all the way back to the birth trauma. Again, we have given extensive teachings on this, tools for resolving it. First of all in the book Healing Your Spiritual Traumas but the other books in this series also. This you can make use of for yourself and perhaps help your daughter when she gets old enough.
What you can do at this present moment is make calls for spiritual protection for yourself and your daughter for both of you to be cut free from any ties to the astral plane and for the violet flame to consume any imperfect fear-based energies. This can help you in the short term. There are certainly people with ADHD but also people who are traumatized in general who are opening themselves up subconsciously to being influenced by lower forces. Calling for protection and being cut free can also help. But again, any condition requires the person to see something and to consciously change it. This can be difficult with younger children and that is why you may have to wait until your daughter grows up but what you can do in the meantime is use the tools to work on yourself so that you can become better equipped at helping your daughter when she is old enough to take advantage of this.
