Are you a parent looking for practical guidance to help you nurture a more spiritually grounded family? Do you yearn for a deeper “soul to soul” connection with your children? In this podcast episode, Greg interviews Annie Burnside, who has been hailed as the “Eckhart Tolle of parenting.” Annie shares with us insightful, practical, and joyous strategies to help your family new levels of presence, peace, and joy.
Eckhart Tolle speaks to the importance of being conscious as a parent and offers this nugget from A New Earth for deeper reflection:
“How do you bring Being into the life of a busy family, into the relationship with your child? The key is to give your child attention… As you look at, listen to, touch, or help your child with this or that, you are alert, still, completely present, not wanting anything other than that moment as it is. In this way, you make room for Being. In that moment, if you are present, you are not a father or mother. You are the alertness, the stillness, the Presence that is listening, looking, touching, even speaking. You are the Being behind the doing.”
A parent’s presence is a gift that every child deserves. Annie’s approach acknowledges that we may have moments of tremendous clarity about our intent to share this presence and this awareness with our children… and then suddenly we’re back in the woods! In other words, it’s a challenging practice to remain present, to share the wonder of presence, and to nurture a spiritually grounded family life in this age.
As you will hear from the interview, Annie is enthusiastic, passionate about sharing with parents strategies to create a soul-to-soul connection with their children; to practice and nurture authenticity, truth, honesty, gratitude, and joy; and to hold a space for their children to embrace their own self-discoveries and their own spiritual journeys.
