![]() If a busy parent develops their sense of self love, spiritual connection and a deep awareness of their whole selves, they can freely create a conscious, fulfilling, life of flow and relief with their kids. When a parent is stressed out and spread too thin, they are simply trying to get water from an empty well. Whereas, when you connect to your spiritual resources and inner self, energy flows to you, fuels you, replenishes you and keeps you present and calm. Children respond to a present, grounded parent... whereas they can't when their mom and dad feel scattered and all over the place. It's a strong belief within me, I can tell you that. But have I ever told you why this is such a powerful belief? Why do I feel this is the conscious parenting secret sauce? Because I've been on both ends of the scale. I often will talk about having 2 little girls under one. I'll talk about feeling scattered homeschooling as well as running a business. But I don't think I've ever discussed what led me to truly trusting in the power of going within. In 2010 we took our first worldschooling trip to the UK, but in so many ways it was one of escape. - We'd been working on fixing up our house, a money pit, and my husband was facing burnout. - Our dog had been killed by a neighbor. - Our goat had died in giving birth... along with 2 of her kids. - My family was gripped in heartbreak with some extended family issues. - CPS had been called by neighbors concerned about our daughters not being in school. (before homeschooling became a thing in our province.) I was spread so thin I would find myself shaking. I was running around after everyone's needs, and each time the phone rang I would feel myself tense up and start to panic.
