Family & Education

Shattered Glass. ~ Deb Caplin

by on Feb 9, 2012

As I was carefully picking the pieces up, I was struck by all the different colors dancing around the room and the amazing array of shapes, as well. What struck me in that very moment was that while imperfect, the beauty I was enjoying was created as a result of that imperfection.

At The Faults Of Enlightenment

by on Feb 7, 2012

Enlightenment is not searching for perfection… it is finding perfection in the most unusual and disorderly things. Enlightenment is not wishing you had something that you didn’t, but even with nothing always having all that you need.

Being A Writer Is Easy.

by on Feb 6, 2012

Being a writer is much like giving birth. A seed is planted. You're excited, you make preparations, you nourish the seed carefully, anxiously awaiting for it to mature. Finally, the time has come to introduce your creation to the world. It's scary. And messy. It's hard pushing your love out into the big scary world. There's even some screaming and some bloodshed.

Teaching Children about Diversity. ~ Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw

by on Feb 4, 2012

When I present my book at schools and see American children bowing to each other saying, “Namaste” and asking to “play more yoga,” or when I am chanting the ancient Sanskrit alphabet call-and-response-style with hundreds of African American or Latino students, I am heartened to see their curiosity bloom as they discover a new culture.

Kitchen Sink Dharma: Foundation. ~ Rick Gilbert

by on Feb 1, 2012

Shamatha instructs practitioners to place gentle attention on a particular object when discursive thoughts threaten to crowd out a general sense of being present in the moment. Often, the object of light focus is the breath.

Zero Waste Kitchen. ~ Bea Johnson

by on Feb 1, 2012

Friends have asked me to blog about what they can do to reduce their household waste. I think its time that I wrote about what we did and are doing in our house. Let's start with the kitchen.

My Baby Wears Bindi: One Mama’s Journey to Raise a Conscious Kiddo. ~ Brooke Kochel

by on Jan 30, 2012

There’ve been many questions surface from myself as a parent and from curious onlookers. When do you start a child’s spiritual and humanitarian education? Can she glean anything at all from these experiences, being so young, or are we just doing it for ourselves?

Oh, the Iron-y! – Anemia in Unexpected Places.

by on Jan 27, 2012

Many things can create a risk for anemia, so it’s a good idea to have blood levels checked periodically and be treated as necessary, even if you have every reason to think that you could not possibly be anemic.

Videogameasana – 10 Secrets to Make Learning Fun for Our Kids!

by on Jan 26, 2012

When we practice yoga, we acknowledge the growth and change that comes from our commitment to breath, body and soul - this growth comes from consistently practicing over an extended period of time. More kids have learned the value of practice from playing Syper Mario Brothers than we care to acknowledge, but it isn't easy to beat level one without practicing (when you will have to jump on mushrooms in life I am not sure).

Our LGBT Children.

by on Jan 25, 2012

This pillar of strength is needed now more than ever because with each day that we sit in silence— for each day that we are not reminding our children that it gets better, that there is meaningful life beyond the abuse—we lose another soul.

Baby Showers, Registries, Necessities? Integrating Yoga & Lamaze Part 5 – Aparigraha.

by on Jan 24, 2012

On an emotional level, Aparigraha can refer to clinging to an idea of what we must have for our births. Sometimes we cling so tightly to that idea; we forget what is truly important and necessary. The “ideal” birth is one of the ways we cling to that which isn’t necessary. This can cause heartache and disappointment if the “ideal” goal isn’t met – even if there are true and valid medical reasons why that goal wasn’t met.

Meditation on Spilled Milk.

by on Jan 22, 2012

Weary children sleep late, school awaits, predictable moments no longer apply. Mom the director scans clipboard events. Force past schedule or practice presence?
