Losing Your Mind? Take These 3 Steps To Relieve Your Anxious Parenting Triggers

Image
  You love your children dearly but get triggered by their challenging behaviors. Our feelings should never get in the way of meeting the needs of our children. When anxiety is triggered by our children’s needs, our perspective of the situation becomes colored by our anxious feelings. Like the soundtrack of a scary film such as  Jaws (film) , we begin to experience fear and dread the moment the music starts. Acknowledging that we have difficult feelings in response to our children’s needs helps us diffuse our emotional intensity. Being honest with ourselves about our own discomfort will help move us closer to attending to our children’s needs. Of course, as parents, we have needs too, but they should never be prioritized over our children’s. To do this, we must recognize and acknowledge that we are triggered by the need our child is expressing. Instead of focusing on our emotions, we can respond to our children’s needs. By responding to their needs and tending to our own later...

3 Easy Steps to Discover The Magic of Learning Without Public School Support

Image
  Many parents are recognizing that sending their children to public school comes at a cost. Families across the globe believe that public schools have agendas that don’t line up with their core values. Our inner-critic and judgmental neighbors may have us believe that the magic of learning can only be taught by a certified teacher. In the name of freedom, we can rewrite that story. Many successful adults, change-makers, and entrepreneurs did not have a traditional education. In fact, it is the magic of developing a deep and trusting inner guidance that creates the most outstanding brilliant minds of each generation.

Shocking Book Reveals How People Become Perceived As Viruses To Society

Image
During a Podcast interview for  Two Track Minds , Ivan Tucakov explains the research detailed in his manuscript,  Cultura Rasa .  One aspect of the book analyzes patterns of viruses and bacteria within living organisms in contrast to cultural patterns in society. In the discussion, Ivan explains the emergence of cellular biology out of matter and socio-cultural groups out of living organisms. He shows how individuals are born into distinct roles in their society and culture. “Breath of Society and Harnessing Free Will” A virus is an entity…that doesn’t belong to your body… A virus can be bad for you, good for you, or [benign]… Even though it’s a separate entity, the virus, will function within your system. [Just like a person], a free-living entity can still function within a larger city structure.

Emotional Song, “Rubber Trees” by Pranatricks Will Help You Find Meanings Of Life

Image
  Today, I received a sneak peek of Pranatricks’ upcoming release, “Rubber Trees”. Upon opening the MP3 for Pranatricks’ song, I began to feel his download streaming into my consciousness. This song release is dripping in the artist’s true authentic emotion. What is the true meaning of “Rubber Trees”? I interviewed the artist, Pranatricks, to find out. The first thing I heard was a chaotic yet ethereal synthesizer tone. Is there an experience you’ve had that carries the same feeling that this sound evokes for you? Through my practice of Japa Yoga, I experienced repetition as relaxation. Similar to the inhale and exhale, there’s a cycle in which you can hear the loop ending and starting again. The repeating synth loop is like the repetitive sound of chanting a mantra. It is the universal sound of OM, something higher than our cognitive understanding. In the song, you reference a soft subtle glow at the base of a pyramid that eventually engulfs us. What does the glow represent for yo...
