Hello again....I have been thinking about what to recommend to you in the way of books or simple personal philosophy. My first and foremost philosophy is to ask myself " Am I acting from a place of love or fear." If it's from a place of fear, I then ask myself " What would love do or say?" When we act from a place of fear, control, authority...we can know that we are acting from the place of ego and not allowing space for trust and love. Our children are here for us to GUIDE along their soul's path and it is not for us to get in their way. They have also come to us to teach us. To help us deepen our soul's learning and to step more completely into what we have come to this Earth to do. When I feel frustrated with my children I ask myself "How are they reflecting me and how am I treating myself?" I will then immediately treat myself the way that I would like my child to treat me....for they are just reflecting my relationship that I have with myself. Our children are here for us to love, to guide and to lovingly create boundaries. Connecting with the natural rhythms of being human and honoring our feelings/emotions is of utmost importance to a healthy mind, body and connection to Spirit. 🌸
