Being a conscious parent is not about arriving at a destination…after which you have earned the title “conscious parent.” It’s not a designation to put on your resume, or a symbol of having achieved a certain level of mastery of its principles. It’s about the commitment to the journey – and it can start on day one. You can choose TODAY to be a conscious parent. It means you are committed to the never-ending journey that emphasizes growth, truth, authenticity, and presence. We can all practice these skills and achieve various levels of mastery, however the genuine intention towards the journey is the most important piece that matters. Conscious Parenting is not a checklist of external attributes….it’s about the process. It is not about being a “human being,” but about being a “human becoming.” It is about being authentic, vulnerable, and honest. While there is a full spectrum of what that looks like from the outside, the most important aspect of being a conscious parent is the intention.
In my home, we only eat organic produce.
We also have a garden, with organic fruits and vegetables in our small California backyard.
Unfortunately, the bugs just love the food we’ve got going, and I just love how I’m able to use essential oils to keep them at bay, rather than losing my crop (because I refuse to use chemicals).
Peppermint is the most incredible pest-control – and a little goes a long way!
