“None of your pain or brokenness, whatever particular form it may take, is who you really are. None of it ever touches your essential being. For this reason, whatever may have happened to you in the past doesn’t have to define you today.”
― Shefali Tsabary, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Emowering Our Children

“It’s important to regularly thank our children for sharing themselves with us. We can thank them for the wealth of meaning they bring into our life. We can thank them for their wisdom, kindness, passion, spontaneity, and liveliness.”
― Shefali Tsabary, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Emowering Our Children

“Basically, we are afraid to surrender to life as is, and this fear keeps us in reaction mode. Yet surrendering to our children’s spirit is imperative if we are to raise them with an ear to their true being. This we do by diving beneath our reactions, intellectualizing, and even know-how, simply meeting our children as they are, being to being.”

“It’s no easy matter to accept that, ultimately, this journey of life is only ours to call our own. We fear we’ll feel isolated and lonely if we really claim our uniqueness. This is because, to the degree we are strangers to ourselves, we feel ill-equipped to nourish our own self. Little do we realize that it’s only through the experience of our unique path that we can experience both personal fulfillment and oneness with all beings.”
