Ready to get schooled? Welcome to the ultimate teacher: your child.
In this incredibly popular A-Fest interview, clinical psychologist Dr. Shefali Tsabary shares valuable insight on how to not only bring consciousness to our parenting, but practical, powerful methods that anyone looking to forward their personal growth will benefit from.
With charisma and humor, Shefali explains the duality we all live in. She reveals how it is our attachment to the form that causes conflict and suffering in our lives—be it between us and our children or anything else in life. She explains how if we are able to recognize the formless essence and potential of everything, despite living in a world of form, we will be able to live in peace.
Shefali shares how not to fall into fear and resistance, but rather how to parent, and live, from a place of awareness and consciousness.
If you’re here to teach your child, then you’re here to teach the level of consciousness that the child has, and not punish them for the one that they don’t yet.
