Book Description
Staying on your spiritual path was undoubtedly a whole lot easier before your kids were born. But as Meryl Davids Landau realized when she became a mother-with no time to run off to yoga or meditation retreats (or even to read many spiritual books)-parenting would have to become her prime spiritual practice. It turns out that was a blessing. As she details in the warm, embracing essays that make up this book, parenting is the perfect practice for staying on a spiritual path, because connecting to the love we feel for our child opens us up to the lofty energy of our highest self. In 55 essays ranging from shifts in your thinking (Don't Try to Just Get By, Pass the Pepper With Adoration, Say Goodbye to Guilting) to actions and activities to undertake (Make Silence Truly Golden, Put a Spiritual Mark on Birthdays, Hang Uplifting Art, Act Outrageous Sometimes) to little things you can do to nurture yourself (Anoint Yourself Each Morning, Carve Out a Sacred Space), Meryl Davids Landau shares from her heart and her experience, as well as that of friends, members of her spiritual parenting discussion group, and spiritual teachers and authors. Whatever your religious leanings, you'll find love, inspiration, compassion, and non-judgment-plus a touch of humor-in her words. Also makes a great gift for spiritual mom and mom-to-be friends. "The valuable lessons Meryl Davids Landau shares will no doubt help readers develop their own unique, gratifying, and mindful parenting practice." -Priscilla Warner, bestselling author, Learning to Breathe "Meryl Davids Landau helps awaken us to our authentic selves and thus cultivate that quality in our children." -Louise Goldberg, bestselling author, Classroom Yoga Breaks "Reading Enlightened Parenting feels like you're being embraced by a loving sister who's been there and is helping you along your own mindful parenting journey." -Susan Caruso, director, Sunflower Creative Arts for Children

Enlightenment Through Motherhood
Author: Astra Niedra
Publisher: Voice Dialogue in Daily Life
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Motherhood is misunderstood. Since time immemorial we've believed that when women become mothers they are taking time out from real work and serious personal growth, especially spiritual development. But we've got it all wrong. While heavily pregnant with her third child, personal growth writer Astra Niedra attempted a holiday in the tropical paradise of Australia's Far North with her husband and two young daughters in tow. During this ‘holiday’ (we need another word to describe 'an extended overnight excursion with young children) she discovered that the skills and abilities mothers are required to use each day as part of their job are the same as the practices prescribed for enlightenment seekers. Join Astra on her journey of discovery and feel inspired, entertained and spiritually uplifted, all the while becoming increasingly grounded in the unshakeable truth that there is far more to being a mother and raising children than conventional wisdom would have us believe. “Absolutely brilliant! This book is just what the world needs now as our planet continues to move towards political and ecological disaster while the patriarchal systems that still dominate our thinking continue to devalue everything traditionally – and biologically – female.” "In a most perfect balance of yin and yang, of logic and feeling, of humor and gravity, Astra Niedra reclaims for all human beings – not just women – a precious element of that which is truly sacred in life." “Her simple spellbinding stories, her keen intellect, and her unfailing humour make this book a pleasure to read. Here is a new way of thinking of spirituality, of valuing our humanity while living a spirit-infused life, and a fascinating (and novel) path to enlightenment! It's a consciousness changer and I loved it." – Dr Sidra Stone, author of Embracing Our Selves, Partnering, Embracing Your Inner Critic, and The Shadow King "I enjoyed this immensely... Definitely a fun and entertaining book while sharing a bit of spiritual goodness as well." – Katie "This book put into words just what, and how, I was feeling about my own spiritual journey. Women and men have such different experiences and this book beautifully articulates them." – Amanda "A great read for all mothers, I loved this book!" – Ann Shepich “Enlightenment indeed! I hope many women have the opportunity to read Astra’s book. Being pregnant, birthing and mothering are the most important jobs on earth. Honouring these roles is important for governments and society to appreciate and elevate to a much higher status. Astra’s journey is familiar, delightfully written and inspiring.” – Susan Ross, Midwife, Birth Educator and author of Birth Right

Deliberate Motherhood
Author: The Power of Moms
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1938301919
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
The outstanding authors of Deliberate Motherhood have let the trials and hardships of motherhood mold them into better people. Whether the change includes learning patience when the two-year-old “paints” your walls with the black permanent marker, or forgiving a teenager who screams “I hate you,” or loving more when that naughty child doesn’t really deserve it, it’s a change that refines us—or as the dictionary describes it, “removes impurities, makes something more effective or become more elegant.” That is powerful! You may think that everything has been said about motherhood, but the delightful thing about Deliberate Motherhood is that every mother/author is one-of-a-kind. They each come from different backgrounds, have different parents, are married (or not) to different people, and certainly have “different” children. Each of the 12 “Powers” provided in this book is a crucial component to help you in your motherhood. And the best part is that you don’t need to do it all at once. You can focus on one “power” a month, and over the course of a year, you’ll see great changes in yourself and in your family. The mark of a great book is that it makes you think . . . and it helps you change . . . which in the case of this book, is an absolute guarantee!
