How do you listen?

When we hear a Dharma talk or study a sutra, our only job is to remain open. Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect. In either case, we learn nothing. If we read or listen with an open mind and an open heart, the rain of the Dharma will penetrate the soil of our consciousness.

While reading or listening, don't work too hard. Be like the earth. When the rain comes, the earth only has to open herself up to the rain. Allow the rain of the Dharma to come in and penetrate the seeds that are buried deep in your consciousness. A teacher cannot give you the truth. The truth is already in you. You only need to open yourself - body, mind, and heart - so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenment. if you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work.

Why be Attachment Parents?

I have often wondered how I can write to explain that what we do as Attachment Parents is all interlinked. Breastfeeding with health, discipline, use of the earths materials...and I'm sure many many more. Parenting baby to sleep linked with health, empathy which is linked to team work and care for the planet. Respect, compassion, empathy, education (and often its the home education not the school) is so important...to bring about HEALTHY people and a HEALTHY planet.
We do not want Independence people we want Interdependent people which means people who give a dam. Everything we do has an affect on someone or something.
The way we treat out children is the way they treat others, you and themselves...the way they treat the planet.

This Home on youtube is really amazing.
