the conscious parent by dr shefali tsabary

Dr Shefali was recently a guest on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday and Lifeclass television programs. She is author of Out of Control, published in early 2014, as well as the book It's a Mom: What you should know about the early years of motherhood, which debuted on the Indian National Bestseller List for four weeks. Shefali lectures extensively on mindful living and conscious parenting around the world, and is in private practice. Shefali has worked with a varied demographic, ranging from survivors of the Asian Tsunami to Third World women, from inner city youth to suburban families, and from the elderly and infirm to corporate leaders. Her ability to appeal to both a psychologically astute and consciousness-driven audience establishes her as one of a kind in the parenting field. This blend of East and West allows her to reach a global audience. Shefali was exposed to Eastern mindfulness at an early age and integrates its teachings with Western psychology. Shefali Tsabary, PhD, received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, New York. The pillars of the parental ego crumble as the parents awaken to the ability of their children to transport them into a state of presence. Once they find their way back to their essence, parents enter into communion with their children, shifting away from the traditional parent-to-child 'know it all' approach and more towards a mutual parent-with-child relationship. Those willing to look in the mirror have an opportunity to establish a relationship with their own inner state of wholeness.

Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction. Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. Instead of being merely the receiver of the parents' psychological and spiritual legacy, children function as ushers of the parents' development.
