My kid doesn?t connect to me – Conscious Insights – April 25, 2016
?My kid doesn?t connect to me? parents complain.
I reply:
?This is your need. A great need, but your need.?
Instead, I encourage parents:
?Connect to what they need. Where they are at.
Are they in a mood to talk?
Are they in a mood to play?
This is what connection really means.
A deep attunement to the other?
Devoid of one?s own ego.?

Entering Stillness – Conscious Insights – January 3, 2016
Entering Stillness
When you have nowhere to go
And you feel overwhelmed with feelings
Anger, sadness, reactivity
Dare to take a pause
And go within the self
And allow yourself to simply stay present to it all
Without doing a thing
Detaching from the FORM (the trigger) and simply staying present
Neither running away nor denying nor escaping nor attacking nor revenging
Just staying with the present
Fully experiencing the storm rise within you
And feeling it all without reacting to a thing
This…
This…
Is one of the most revolutionary acts of humanity

Our children need us to be a container – Conscious Insights – November 4, 2015
our children need us to be a container of their feelings of their tears, fears, and fierce love.
what is a container?
you could call it a dumping ground on the days they exhaust you.
instead, imagine it as a wide open holding vessel that wraps them in a protective shield.
it is bottomless, deep, soothing bowl wherein they can enter, curl up and let go.
