Nightly Affirmation For Adults

One of the things we like to do before drifting off to sleep is settling into our beds and getting quiet within ourselves. We have a nightly ritual of clearing our minds, sending back any energy we collected during the day from everyone we came in contact with including removing any hooks or negative energy we may have also picked up unintentionally. We go through everything we are grateful for, clearing with techniques gained from Ho'oponopono and fill ourselves with gratitude. Then we visual how we would like tomorrow to go. Understanding we are co-creators with spirit we know how powerful this is. We then think in our minds a few affirmations and then drift to sleep.

The above affirmation is meant to be a guide on getting you started with your nightly positive thought process. 

What do you do to relax your mind before bed? Do you have any rituals or techniques you'd like to share? 

Nightly Affirmation For Children

How your children enter their sleep world is just as important as how they begin their day.

Here is an affirmation to say with them out loud before they go to bed. 
The above affirmation is intended to get you started. Add in what else your children would like to say. This is also a good time to reflect back on the day and state out loud all the things you are grateful for.

The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children

The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment By Deepak Chopra

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

They say a pictures worth a thousand words, well I may just have to agree with that...Kids are just so darn curious about everything, the world, bugs, people, stores, animals, bed time books, etc.......why is this?..How is that?..Can I do it?....They don't know to be timid or afraid unless they learn it from us or see it some where, otherwise they appear to be fearless. 

They are as a sponge and soak it all up..... The picture here just drips of curiosity. She is ready to learn up close and dissect it all. 

It is up to us to feed their curiosity help them along their path what ever that is.....embrace it... Take time to listen to your children see what it is that interests them.

She on her own went and picked up the magnifying glass and asked to be put in her chair. She was on a mission...It did not matter that she could not read the places on the globe her actions were enough for her...

How does your child show curiosity?

How do you encourage your children to explore what interests them?

Rolling pins, measuring spoons, measuring cups and cookie cutters work great!

9 Tips For Enhancing the Educational Experience of Your Child

Tips for Enhancing the Educational Experience of Your Child 

• Ask your child to identify three goals for the school year (Academic, Health, Financial).
• Sign up for a long term volunteer opportunity in their area of interest.
• Make sure your child’s learning happens outside of the school walls as well as inside (libraries, museums, clubs, etc.).
• If they have expressed interest in a particular career or field, provide them with exposure to the career or field as a reminder of the bigger picture and provide a mentor/support individual from the field.  Sometimes this also serves as a “reality check” in terms of career requirements and commitment.
• Take advantage of free academically supportive websites such as Khan Academy, The College Board

Love is the face and body of the Universe.

"Love is the face and body of the Universe. It is the connective tissue of the universe, the stuff of which we are made. Love is the experience of being whole and connected to Universal Divinity.

Parenting Coming Out Of The Dark Ages?

We found this video so pleasing, especially since we reviewed Dr. Shefali's book The Conscious Parent in 2010 and hosted a live chat with her in March 2011. It's so magical to us that conscious parenting is finally taking center stage. Like we've said before we've raised our children this way starting 30 years ago. Since Dr. Shefali appeared with Oprah on Super Soul Sunday it is now getting the recognition that we feel is needed for our children, parents and society. 

We resonate with the words Sabrina Brightstar talks about in this video. She's right, we are all responsible for the children. Our beliefs, thoughts, ability to love ourselves and evolve does have an impact on today's children. We hope all you parents will take a look at this video. It is time to change the world by changing how we parent.

Review: Dr. Mercola's Sunscreen and After Sun Moisturizing Cream

When we were approached by Dr. Mercola to write a review about his sunscreen we were delighted. We are avid followers of Dr. Mercola and we respect his work, especially his viewpoint on nutrition and health. If you've never heard of him we recommend looking him up! 

"I believe that proper nutrition, not medicine, is the key to good health." ~ Dr. Mercola
