Nurturing self-understanding in our children – interview with Dr. Kathryn Jefferies

Hello friends,

To all you parents and/or educators out there… today I have the honour of sharing a conversation with you that I had with Dr. Kathryn Jefferies (certified facilitator for the Work of Byron Katie and author of ‘Awake – Education for Enlightenment’).  As a parent and educator, I often have the desire to raise my children and teach in a way that encourages self-awareness.  In this conversation, Kath asks us to look at that very desire and gives a profound perspective on the most authentic way this can actually ever be carried out.  I know you’ll enjoy it… unfortunately, the video got cut off, but the conversation continues in the audio link below.

We would both love to hear your feedback and if this resonated so please leave a comment or question that we can bring some attention to.  I highly recommend a visit to Kathryn’s website to find out more about her book, her counselling, educational consulting, etc.

interview continued – Dr. Kath Jefferies

Thank you for listening – and as always, I’m holding the space for each of us to live and act from our deepest truth.

This is meditation

When you can sit quietly

just notice

the mental chatter

the emotional pulls

the impulses to react

the heart beating in your chest

and the alert presence

that is noticing.

At this point, the work of the mind is done.

It has carried you as far as it can.

So gently lay down your sutras, saints and spiritual goals

on this divine shore

and dive into whatever this alertness is

give it all your attention

sense into it

Is it small? Vast?

Over there or right here?

Ceiling and walls or open space?

Chaotic or Peaceful?

Noisy or Silent?

Distracted or aware?

Is there a narrator in there?

Sense into this space often.

When the mind gets impatient (and it will)

notice that too

and then keep sensing into this space…

this is meditation.
