Raising Ourselves and Our Children
 
Shakta
By Shakta Kaur Khalsa of Radiant Child Yoga

Parenting has been called "the highest yoga", and for good reason.  Where else do you have the challenge and opportunity to be your most mindful at each moment?  Where your every communication has the potential to create conflict or upliftment?   Children respond either consciously or unconsciously to the vibratory energy of each moment.  Much of the time, we adults have lost our sensitivity to the energy that vibrates between us all.  Children can make us painfully aware of our gaps in awareness.

On the other hand, I have found greater motivation to stay on target since having a child. I use yoga, meditation, prayer, whatever it takes!  Nothing beats a consistent daily spiritual practice to "tune up" to higher consciousness.  In other words, if you touch and verify your own soul regularly, you won't stray too far in your interactions with your child. Whether you're having trouble with your child, or  your life, it won't be so serious, and you won't take it so seriously.  When difficulty comes, your attitude is less "This is a big problem." and more "Where's the lesson here?"

 
Come and be part of Kids Yoga Network an on-line community where we can celebrate our diversity and experience our oneness.
