Review & Giveaway coming soon of Soul To Soul Parenting

The Winner Of The Conscious Parent Is...And Surprise Give Away!

On Christmas Day we released our review and give away announcement of a brand new parenting book on the market called The Conscious Parent Transforming ourselves empowering our children. 

Here is a copy of our review followed by the winner of her very own copy!

     

Preface by his Holiness the Dalai Lama

Shefali Tsabary raises the bar in the parenting realm with her new book
The Conscious Parent. She demonstrates several examples on how to take day to day parenting to a new level. Be advised after reading her astounding new book you will never look at parenting the same way. 
She shares with you a whole new perspective on the conscious parenting process. When followed and applied the techniques and tools Shefali teaches can last you a lifetime.

Shefali truly channels the conscious connections of parenting from an authentic place. When you parent from your conscious self you learn how to parent from a place from within. By reconnecting with this part of yourself you begin to practice living in the now and are more fully able to to implement conscious parenting practices. The conscious parent is jam packed with much needed information. This book is nothing like any other book on the market. The Conscious Parent shows you that the parenting process is really about the parent!


My top five favorite messages from The Conscious Parent.
1. I really loved that throughout The Conscious Parent, Shefali reaffirms the process of parenting and life is more important than the outcome.
2. Your unconsciousness isn't your children's to inherit: it is yours to excavate. Being a conscious parent means you are increasingly aware of your unconsciousness as it arises in day to day situations.
3. Shefali demonstrates through her own experiences how to honor your children for their essential qualities such as joy, peace, authenticity, courage and trust.
4. By being fully present with your child, you learn how to make the simple moments count.
5. Shefali shows you how through your children you can learn how to really live, meet your children as they are being to being!

Add The Conscious Parent (book) by Shefali Tsabary to your conscious parenting library today.


"Shefali Tsabary's invaluable book shows how the challenges of parenting can become a great opportunity for spiritual awakening. Becoming a fully conscious parent is the greatest gift you can give to your child." ~ Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power Of Now and A New Earth (hardcover) by Eckhart Tolle

Just for fun I wanted to share the daily quote from Abraham Hicks from  Saturday 1-22-2011.
Daily Law of Attraction Quotation
Our Varied Behavior Adds to the Planet's Well-Being... When you remember that nothing can come into your experience without your Vibrational invitation of it, then you do the simple work of paying attention to your own Vibrational offering, and you save yourself the enormous and impossible task of controlling the behavior of others. When you remember that the varied behavior of others adds to the balance and the Well-Being of your planet even if they offer behavior that you do not approve of; and that you do not have to participate in the unwanted behavior, and will not - unless you give your attention to it - you become more willing to allow others to live as they choose.
--- Abraham

Excerpted from the book, The Vortex, Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships

There's something big happening in the Blogosphere! Are you part of it?

As you may know we also have a BlogFrog Intentional Conscious Parenting Community.        

Our community is growing by leaps and bounds. 

The BlogFrog is in the news!

BlogFrog Now Connects 50,000 Mom Bloggers to 5.5 Million Women Online.

“While offering the creative platform for women to chronicle motherhood, blogs lack the capability to be networked and social,” said Rustin Banks, CEO and Co-Founder of BlogFrog. “This is where BlogFrog jumps in. BlogFrog gives bloggers a way to bring their readers together in a community that is centered around and integrated into their blog. It’s the glue that connects women online with topics they are passionate about.” 

This fast-paced growth and vision has attracted former executives from Google, Hewlett-Packard, and other high profile companies to invest in an undisclosed Series A round of funding. BlogFrog will use this funding to enhance community features, grow its team, enable strategic partnerships, and accelerate growth of the BlogFrog network for brand advertisers and bloggers. 

BlogFrog serves bloggers by letting them add an instant community to their blog or website, enabling readers to participate in discussions about like-minded topics. BlogFrog powers and connects thousands of these niche communities in growing topics such as parenting, relationships, military wives, cancers survivors, eco-living, infertility, frugality, and many others. BlogFrog helps bloggers:

• Build stronger connections with their readers and visitors.

• Engage with their readers by answering questions, sharing photos, posting videos and hosting live conversations.

• Drive more traffic and page views to their blog.

• Increase loyalty and repeat visits from readers.

• Earn revenue from day one, regardless of the size of their blog.

We have added a new ICP BlogFrog Community page to our blog.

After viewing our new page we would love your feedback and for you to join our BlogFrog Intentional Conscious Parenting Community.

Hop on over to our Intentional Conscious Parenting BlogFrog Community!

Meet new friends...Join a conversation.....or start a new conversation.

Share your parenting ideas, leave links to your website, Facebook page or other social networking sites, but most of all HAVE FUN!

***Occasional live chats***

Here's few reasons why you might want to join us on The BlogFrog!

1. BlogFrog is the largest network of mom blogs in the United States.
2. Former executives from Google, Hewlett-Packard, and other high profile companies have invested in BlogFrog giving the company an undisclosed Series A round of funding.
3. In less than 18 months, BlogFrog has become the nation’s fastest growing women’s network with over 50,000 mom bloggers reaching over 5.5 million women online.    Fathers and Men are very welcome in our community. Dads you have a lot to say. We want to hear it!
4. Research shows that despite their purchasing power, women still feel deeply misunderstood by brands and advertisers. BlogFrog’s vision is to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem where brands and bloggers both win through lasting, loyal, trusted communities.
5. As a top women’s destination on the web, BlogFrog has attracted household brand names such as International Delight, Hallmark, and LivingSocial.

Together we can grow a large community of like minded parents and people with a focus on Intentional Conscious Parenting! Parenting with Passion... Are you in????

If you are a brand, business or publishing company that is centered around conscious parenting, conscious children's books, conscious parenting books, spirituality, open mindedness, spiritual/physical health, holistic health, sustainability, law of attraction or conscious living principles and would like to sponsor our Blog Frog community please contact Carol at intunedparenting@gmail.com or simply join our Blog Frog community and look for the sponsor link on the bottom left of page.

Characteristics Of The Indigo Children

Who are the Indigo children and adults?
Jan Tober interviewed Nancy Ann Tappe in her ground breaking book The Indigo Children..The new kids have arrived co-authored with Lee Carroll.
In her interview she asks Nancy about the Indigos. Nancy was the first person to identify and write about the Indigo phenomenon in her book Understanding Your Life Through Color
Nancy called them Indigos because of the color she saw. She is a color intuitive. Nancy began seeing the color Indigo surrounding babies and children sometime in the 70's. As she watched more and more started arriving and they tended to have the same behavior similarities. As time went on there was a huge increase in children who were diagnosed with ADHD and learning disabilities. (There still is)


Indigos are very strong willed individuals and very sensitive to energy. They are very good at detecting if someone is lying or telling the truth. Indigos are great at trusting what they feel. They don't have any patience for status quo or misrepresentations.


They tend to be the rule breakers. They don't usually fit into so called box learning situations. They are very independent intelligent thinkers. Bright, intuitive, strong willed and sometimes self destructive.


Indigos are the system busters, they might be diagnosed with ADHD or other learning disorders and they don't usually fare well in school. Indigo children and adults don't learn from inside of the box. (Traditional thinking, schooling, old belief systems) They think outside of the box! They tend to challenge parents, teachers, law makers, friends and family to also think outside of the box. They have come here on a mission to flush out all the lies and non truths of the world as humanity shifts in consciousness. 


Other similarities of Indigos:

• Seem like an old soul...they are 13 going on 30. 
• They come into the world with a feeling of royalty
• Frustrated very easily with systems that are ritual orientated and don't require creative thought
• Easily see better ways of doing things
• Can be antisocial unless with their own kind
• They have no problem letting you know what they need
• Traditional guilt discipline does not work at all (wait until your father gets home)
• They have a collective job to do and they won't let anyone stand in their way.
• Drugging them with Ritalin and other pharmaceutical drugs is not going to help. It will slow them down, distract them and can stifle their inner being. Please learn about alternative treatments and conscious parenting techniques.

Due to their intuitive abilities they tend to try and shield themselves by using drugs. Indigos often feel out of place or feel they don't belong here.


There are numerous books and articles on this topic. If you relate to any of the Indigo descriptions you should read and connect with others. Your not alone by any means. There are people with the Indigo characteristics all over our planet.


Doreen Virtue has also contributed much information about the Indigo children and the crystal children.  She says The Indigo have a collective role to play in helping humanity usher in a new era of peace. 

In raising our children we have become very familiar with the Indigo's!
I want to say thanks to my boys and their friends for all the life lessons you have taught me.

Genetically Modified Foods Could Cause Long-term Sterility

New research findings coming out of Russia are linking GMO's to long term sterility and bizarre physiological side effects! 


Here's an interesting interview with Jeffrey Smith, author of bestseller Seeds of Deception.

What choices do you make to impact the food market?

Genetically Modified Foods Could Cause Long-term Sterility

What are your thoughts on Genetically Modified Organisms?


I'm a firm believer in moderation of anything and I don't think we have to eat 100% healthy nor should we fear our food. I do think that choices are being made that have huge impacts and influences on our food with out giving us the choice. Our health is at stake. It's up to us to become informed and educated on what is taking place surrounding food in our countries. It's up to us to demand change and it's up to us to put our money where our conscious is. In other words by the way we shop, how we spend our dollars we have great influence. 


There are some wonderful books and movies out that are very informative. 
I recently watched the future of food. 
This movie will update you on the race to patent and buy out every seed out there. The terminator seed that destroys itself so it cannot grow crops a second season. The Monopoly of Monsanto, the deception and control that is taking place. Big corporations are bullying small time farmers. I think if everyone really knew what was going on those that weren't influenced by greed would demand significant changes. 


As always thanks for reading our blog.
