Susie Miller’s Journey and Expertise

Ky introduces Susie Miller, highlighting her role as a visionary educator and the founder of the Awesomism Practitioner Process. Susie's extensive experience spans decades, during which she has been instrumental in helping non-speakers and individuals with apraxia—conditions involving a disconnect between mind and body—integrate their physical and mental selves.

[02:59] Susie Miller:
Susie recounts her transformative encounter in 1999 with a young boy diagnosed with autism. This experience marked a significant turning point in her career, revealing the remarkable abilities of non-speakers. She describes witnessing the boy’s "light body" and their subsequent telepathic connection, which led to his enhanced verbal communication after a year-long process.

Understanding Regulation in Non-Speakers

[04:50] Ky Dickens:
Ky commends Susie for her ability to help non-speakers regulate their bodies and minds, emphasizing that the tools and supports she provides are universally beneficial. He notes the influx of inquiries from parents seeking strategies to support their dysregulated children.

[05:51] Susie Miller:
Susie shares that almost every client she engages with has been influenced by The Telepathy Tapes. She underscores that the primary concerns from parents revolve around helping their children become more present, comfortable, and regulated in their bodies.

Key Strategies for Regulation

1. Tuning into Subtle Worlds

[06:36] Susie Miller:
Susie emphasizes that children with autism are often more attuned to the "subtle worlds" than the physical one. She explains that behaviors such as talking to unseen entities or engaging in unusual interactions are manifestations of this heightened sensitivity. Understanding this perspective is crucial for parents and educators to create supportive environments.

2. Regulating the Emotional Body Field

[07:45] Susie Miller:
Susie introduces the concept of the emotional body field as the first interface children engage with. She explains that when parents regulate their own emotional states through practices like breathwork or inner child work, children can mirror this regulation. This reciprocal relationship fosters an environment where children feel secure and begin to self-regulate.

Notable Quote:
"Behavior is the highest form of communication. If your child is frustrated or overwhelmed, look at their behavior as information to explore within yourself."
— Susie Miller [06:36]

3. Creating Soothing Environments

[14:06] Susie Miller:
Susie advocates for creating soothing environments to help children become more present. She suggests incorporating moments of peace, meditation, nature connection, and uplifting music to lighten the emotional atmosphere. These practices not only benefit the child but also reduce the overall stress within the household.

Enhancing Communication Through Tools and Belief

1. Utilizing Tuning Forks and Vibrational Integration

[11:06] Susie Miller:
Susie recounts her work with Riley, a child who used tuning forks to align his "spirit self" with his "body self." This process involved using specific frequencies to merge different vibrational fields, aiding in Riley's regulation and communication.

Notable Quote:
"When children express what they need, whether through telepathy or spelling, following that leads to successful integration."
— Susie Miller [11:06]

2. The Power of Belief and Positive Affirmations

[15:48] Susie Miller:
Believing in a child's capacity is paramount. Susie encourages parents and educators to replace negative descriptors with positive affirmations. By consistently using uplifting language, adults can reset expectations and positively influence a child's self-perception and behavior.

Notable Quote:
"Write down all the words you use to describe your child and then create a new list of words you wish to use. Read it daily to reset your expectations."
— Susie Miller [15:40]

Addressing Challenges and External Factors

1. Navigating Communication Ebb and Flow

[23:08] Susie Miller:
Susie addresses the natural fluctuations in communication, where children may alternate between periods of active communication and withdrawal. She reassures listeners that these phases are part of the integration process, encouraging patience and understanding rather than viewing them as setbacks.

2. Impact of Parental Stress and Authenticity

[25:41] Susie Miller:
Susie highlights how external factors like job stress, marital issues, or low self-esteem can significantly impact a child's ability to communicate and regulate. She advises parents to authentically express their emotions, which helps prevent the transmission of stress to their children and fosters a more harmonious relationship.

Notable Quote:
"Authentic communication about how you're feeling allows your child to understand and navigate your emotional state without feeling responsible for regulating your emotions."
— Susie Miller [25:41]

Telepathy and Accessibility

[28:49] Susie Miller:
Addressing a common concern, Susie affirms that telepathy is accessible to all parents and individuals. She emphasizes the innate connection shared through DNA and experiences, suggesting that with proper regulation and openness, telepathic connections can be nurtured effectively.

Notable Quote:
"Just verbally expressing your openness to connect allows your child to find ways to establish that telepathic link."
— Susie Miller [28:49]

Enhancing Relationships Through Openness

[34:16] Susie Miller:
Susie discusses how openness and authenticity in communication can transform relationships between parents and children. By acknowledging and expressing genuine feelings, parents create opportunities for deeper connections and mutual understanding.

Notable Quote:
"When you express your own feelings honestly, it invites your child to engage and comfort you, strengthening your bond."
— Susie Miller [34:16]

Awesomism: A Transformative Approach

[38:10] Susie Miller:
Susie introduces her book, Awesomism, which redefines unconventional behaviors in non-speakers as expressions of capacity and contributions to collective human evolution. The book offers practical techniques for navigating and appreciating these behaviors, fostering a more inclusive and understanding perspective.

Notable Quote:
