He's a fan of exercising and yoga positions, so that part of relaxation I'm trying to get him into... He loves doing that stuff along with the Wii...
On the other hand he's a kid and trying to stop him doing things like stepping on bugs and throwing temper tantrums is impossible...
We're doing our best to make sure he's eating proper food, no crap, which is working out so far, he loves homecooked stuff and always chooses fruit over chocolate...
That´s awesome, dude!
You´re doing it right!
I recently read a very interesting book about childhood written by a pretty much rebellious Indian Guru haha, but he´s what I´d call TRUE! It´s not only interesting for the future of our kids, it also shows how wrong most of us was been brought up, even if the parents mean well. Have, have, have, have...I wanna haz..own, my, me and stuff :Smokin: "If you are well-behaved you get the new Star Wars lego spaceship" What a conditioning!! And this is just one of hundred thousands experiences what awakened unhealthy ambition and greed. And Greed is always linked with expectations. Meanwhile I walk through my life without any expectations..and when something great is happening, I appreciate it even more. Nobody is born to satisfie my or your expectations ( I had to learn this), but Kids are grown up with that...totally!! Disappointments are inevitable.
It´s about not getting overlapped with thoughts, cause your mind is not really you. It´s just a fucking processor what should be used when YOU need it, not getting used by it. You guys know this crazy "thoughts carousel", we all have had at some time..and still have. It´s about being master of your own thoughts and not being mastered by your thoughts. This is no bullshit blabla, the mind causes so much shit and ego problems, it´s pure poison. The reason why I mention it in this thread is, some of us old fuckers have to unlearn this shit at some point in our life, but our kids, especially the new born kids don´t have any ego built yet and that´s so precious. They come from another world.
Yoga is a great way, a great bridge to Meditation; kids have so much fun with that and it can be a smooth transition to meditation
1 or 2 Years ago I would probably laugh about myself, by reading what I´m just writing, but it may be plausible, if you look deeper.
Must be awesome to look in the eyes of a new born child who is absolutely not conditioned with all that bullshit of this world!
