Book excerpt: Let go of parenting expectations and fears to raise courageous, confident children. The Zen Mama philosophy is that mother and child complement each other in adventures and experiences, always putting safety first but without getting caught up in the anxieties, drama, impossible expectations and mental baggage that too often comes along with modern parenting. Learning to become a Zen Mama will help you grow and nurture a Zen Child - someone who isn't afraid to be different, who can stand up for himself or his friends, and can travel the world and experiment with new things without being overwhelmed with self-doubt or being scared. Full of facts, actionable advice and practical tips, this book will be about combining the heart and the head with what works for you and your family, not comparing yourselves to others or meeting a societal standard. It will support and nurture the mother's journey like a wise and sympathetic friend and offers ideas and experience rather than judgement. The Zen Mama will help you to find your purpose as a mother. It will instil the self-belief you need to help create a resilient, creative, caring and smart child - and help to survive the journey.

Download or read book Mother Zen written by Jacinta Tynan and published by HQ. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2010 Jacinta Tynan innocently sparked a media storm when her article in the Sun Herald exposed a fault line in our perception of motherhood. Her premise - that motherhood could be easy - split the parenting community down the middle. Many agreed with Jacinta while others argued that motherhood was arduous and thankless, all were equally passionate in their beliefs. Four years later, now with two small children, Jacinta takes us on a fascinating journey through her own experiences of motherhood - from being so sick with her first pregnancy that she was throwing up in between her on-air segments, to her doubts about her ability to cope - and shows us her struggle to parent 'consciously', using meditation and attempting mindfulness to help her find her path. While on this journey, Jacinta gives us a compelling analysis of the ideas and philosophies that surround contemporary parenting, as she also tries to understand why her comments caused such a storm. She asks other parents, health practitioners and childcare experts some key questions, such as: - Why do we feel so strongly about sleep, breastfeeding and discipline for our children? - Why do some parents find parenting easy and others a terrible trial? - And why are mothers made to feel so guilty, all the time? Part memoir about her experiences as a new mum, part passionate manifesto, Mother Zen questions whether society's default position - that parenting is a tough and unrewarding job - is a valid one and opens up an important debate that goes to heart of our identity. What kind of values are we passing on to our children? And are we teaching them, or are they teaching us?

Download or read book The Not So Zen Mom written by Hillary Wolf and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ah, motherhood: the blissful time when every day is spent relishing the precious moments spent with your well-behaved children, living a picture-perfect life worthy of the family portraits lining the stairwell. Right? Wrong. Despite what many mothers display on their Facebook pages, raising kids ain't easy. You'll find yourself dealing with more poop than you thought possible, attempting (and failing) to manage the chaos of a toddler avoiding bed, and wishing for a quiet naptime before you lose your mind. The Not So Zen Mom celebrates the realities of parenthood. Through comedic poetry and photographs, it addresses the times you're chasing a full-diapered three-year-old around the house, along with the fulfilling family moments that make it all worth it. Interspersed are quips of advice that serve as a reminder to laugh at the tough moments instead of pulling out your hair. Whether you're an expecting mom or are already juggling multiple children, The Not So Zen Mom will make you laugh and, most importantly, show you that being not so Zen is more normal than you think.

Download or read book Momma Zen written by Karen Maezen Miller and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining humor, honesty, and plainspoken advice, Momma Zen distills the doubts and frustrations of motherhood into vignettes of Zen wisdom Drawing on her experience as a first-time mother and her years of Zen meditation and study, Karen Miller explores how the daily challenges of parenthood can become the most profound spiritual journey of our lives. Her compelling and wise memoir follows the timeline of early motherhood from pregnancy through toddlerhood. Momma Zen takes readers on a transformative journey, charting a mother’s growth beyond naive expectations and disorientation to finding fulfillment in ordinary tasks, developing greater self-awareness and acceptance—to the gradual discovery of "maternal bliss," a state of abiding happiness and ease that is available to us all. In her gentle and reassuring voice, Karen Miller convinces us that ancient and authentic spiritual lessons can be as familiar as a lullaby, as ordinary as pureed peas, and as frequent as a sleepless night. She offers encouragement for the hard days, consolation for the long haul, and the lightheartedness every new mom needs to face the crooked path of motherhood straight on.

Download or read book The Dude and the Zen Master written by Jeff Bridges and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift for fans of The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges's "The Dude", and anyone who could use more Zen in their lives. Zen Master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridges’s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are “simple and unassuming,” and “so good that on account of them God lets the world go on.” Jeff puts it another way. “The wonderful thing about the Dude is that he’d always rather hug it out than slug it out.” For more than a decade, Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges and his Buddhist teacher, renowned Roshi Bernie Glassman, have been close friends. Inspiring and often hilarious, The Dude and the Zen Master captures their freewheeling dialogue and remarkable humanism in a book that reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you need a break from motherhood? One minute you're yelling at your crumb-dropping, juice-spilling toddler for dirtying your freshly mopped floors; next, you're second-guessing every single decision you've ever made because you're sleep-deprived, frustrated, and not the mom you know you're capable of being. Has the closet become your regular hiding place away from hands pulling on your shirt and incessant demands coming at you? Are you constantly torn between staying up late to finally have your alone time and going to bed at a decent hour only to find out that being tired is inevitable regardless of the choice you make? You knew the load of motherhood was a heavy one, but you didn't know how massive the load would actually be until now that you're in it. It's exhausting and causing you to lose your mind even though you know there's got to be a better way. You want to be the best mom you can be while also keeping flow and ease to show up as your best self. You know you need to include more mindfulness, but how do you do so when you're so tired? In Help! I Need a Break from Motherhood, Domiana Ndour uses holistic modalities and her skills as a yoga practitioner to teach mothers: How you can go from tired and drained to instant energy How easy conscious parenting can be - it will surprise you How to prioritize yourself amidst your busy life How to look good even if you're feeling worn-out How to maintain your zen with a baby on each hip Daily habits for managing mommy burnout and why burnout can be good Join Domiana to explore how you, too, can conquer tiring parenthood and create life balance.
