Chelsea's Meditation Video: https://youtu.be/whfrphNENN0 Theme this week: Community and Kindness - Mindful Parenting Words from Sumi Loundon Kim: Much of how we parent our children is a reflection of our internal world. When we are healthy and whole, we bring that into our parenting. Where we have brokenness and pain, that also comes out in our parenting. One of the most powerful gifts of meditation is that it helps us to see this personal psychology clearly, as well as to see how we act out of it in our interactions with our children. Once our internal world comes into the space of awareness, we have the opportunity to heal our pain and change our habits. A great deal of this inner work is around what we've internalized from our relationship to our own parents. Much of our inner formation is informed by our experience in childhood. As adults, we tend to re-create our childhood with our children, sometimes intentionally but more often subconsciously. Thus, raising children provides an opportunity to bring our own unconscious material to light and to heal. If we can do this, we not only find our own freedom but we give our children a family life of prenal love, acceptance, and happiness that we longed to have ourselves. Indeed, we give it to ourselves as well. Reflection: Oh, Sumi, don't tell me my parenting is informed by my childhood experience. Dang it. That's way too heavy for a weekly parent/guardian email. Skip ahead.... Let's talk about a basic message within Sumi's thoughts this week that we are better parents when we have inner peace. That I can roll with. What are you doing for self-care, dear ones? This start of the school year has been rough! Are you making time to decompress before bed? Listening to your favorite music? Choosing to do pizza carryout instead of cooking one night? Yoga? Hitting the gym? Are you remembering to breathe in and out? It is SO easy to put our children first - because they ARE first. We would do ANYTHING FOR THEM, right? Yet, I keep coming back to the notion of not being able to pour from an empty cup. I need to remember that the bath toys need to get cleared out of the tub, so that my shower can actually be relatively peaceful, and so that I don't break a leg. I need to remember that we get to actually eat brussels sprouts, asparagus, and beets, even though my children prefer broccoli and cauliflower. I need to remember that it's okay to say, "No, we're just going to read one book tonight" - instead of 5 books as we usually do, so that I can actually have a moment to myself before bed. I need to remember that I not only get to give myself PERMISSION to do these things, but that I should give myself the BLESSING to do these as well. We do SO much for our children. 24/7 - every single day - it's OKAY to do something for ourselves. It is NOT selfish. We are at our best parenting when we feel whole, rested, peaceful. Be kind to yourselves, and your families. Next month, I will begin a new series of parenting emails based on our Soul Matters themes, and stepping away from a mindfulness/meditation theme. Although, I am sure these concepts will find their way through the Soul Matters curriculum as well. Next month's theme is: Renewal. I look forward to all we can share together with what comes next. Can you please do me a favor?? As I assess whether my messages are getting through to you, will you please email back to me the words: "Mindful Parenting", if you read this far? I'm just curious as to who is still reading these messages. Thank you all for sharing this summer with me. I am excited for the coming church year, and can't wait to share with you what I'm finding with the UUA's Soul Matters curriculum. Discussion Questions: 1. How would you explain mindful parenting to a friend unfamiliar but interested in learning more? 2. What is the relationship between our inner work and our parenting behavior? 3. To what extent is your parenting informed by how you were raised? 4. As you think about the upcoming church year, what is important to teach your children with regards to the value of community?

No music from her this week and Heather took a week off as well))) Story with Ms Alexa: https://youtu.be/c8p0L6v-r1M Chelsea's Meditation Video: https://youtu.be/A3llZ4xBtPU Theme this week: Connection Words from Sumi Loundon Kim: Picture a fisherman's net with a jewel at the intersection of each node of the net. Each jewel reflects the image of all the other jewels in the net, including the image in other jewels that reflect it. like one of these jewels, we contain reflections of the world around us, and the world around us contains a reflection of us. This metaphor, known as Indra's Net, explains the 'empty' nature of self, in that no inherently abiding, autonomous self exists: self exists in relationship. As you engage in a movement or issue, you will begin to find others who have the same calling. This often happens naturally, but it is worthwhile to intentionally seek out others, for two reasons. First, collaborating with others amplifies our efforts by helping us build a strong coalition. We accomplish far more together than we do individually. Second, community is a strong antidote to fear. If fear results in feeling isolated, then it's friendship and belonging that contribute to reducing fear. When we are with others whom we trust, we feel safe, secure, and therefore more relaxed and joyful....It's important to know that you are not alone in whatever issue you choose to work with. Whether known to you or not, you have allies around the world. Reflection: This week, the book and meditation I do for the children is based around the book, "The Lorax" by Dr Seuss. I don't know about you but the above words from Sumi Loundon Kim stopped being about the trees pretty quickly. Remember the 'Onceler' in 'The Lorax'? A lonely person who holds onto the singular seed left of the Truffula tree? If you haven't read it for a while, 'The Lorax' is a HEAVY book! I started this lesson thinking I was going to talk about our 7th principle as we relate to nature, and the outdoors because I LOVE this time of year. However, I quickly started thinking about loneliness and community and our connection (or lack thereof) with each other. I also started thinking of the concept of 'renewal' which will be the theme for next month with our Soul Matters curriculum. Today is day four of all my children being in childcare at Dimensions. This is the first time in 5.5 years that I have not had a baby with me or been pregnant...and we're in the middle of a pandemic. Loneliness set in around hour two of Milo being at childcare for the first time. However, I have been feeling lonely being away from our church community for many months now. Sumi's quote above that, "...community is a strong antidote to fear" hit me like a ton of bricks. Well, no wonder there is so much stress and angst and worry and doubt and sadness during a pandemic! We are often living in fear and feeling isolated these days. Nothing about this is easy. Even for those (like myself) who are introverts...I really like having the OPTION to have time with others. And so - here I sit - outdoors on the patio of The Mill for the first time in probably more than a year, while I work on my laptop. The closest person sits more than 10 feet away from me. Yet, I get to smile at those who walk by. I got out of my house. I am connecting in some way with other humans. I made a date this week to see my friend and do a tarot card reading for her. I did a video call with another friend. I sent photos of the grandbabies to my grandmother through email. There are ways we can stay connected, yet it takes the energy and effort to make it happen. I often find my spiritual time in nature, taking photos, time to myself away from the kiddos. Yet, the other day while at the Rose Gardens, I felt lonely doing that for the first time. Our connection with the earth, with the trees, with the sun, and the sky....is beautiful...and there is a time for that. There is also a time when we crave human contact. If you are missing that, please reach out. I was feeling very 'Onceler'-ish this last week. It doesn't have to be that way. We can always plant a seed and watch and wait for it to grow. I am always up for a socially distanced cup of coffee, or a zoom call from my patio. Stay in touch, my friends. You are all dear to me. Discussion Questions: 1. Where does your sense of self come from? Can you define who you are? Is your identity static or changing? (Dang, Sumi, not going light on the reflection questions this week!) 2. Pick one other object, aside from a flower, and articulate how it is composed of other things. if any one of those things were removed, would it still exist as you know it? 3. How does the perspective of our interrelatedness counteract or work with states of fear? 4. In your own words, lay out a sequence in which your own mental, internal ecology has an impact on the ecology around you Dear UU Parents and Guardians,

Our natural impulse is to fix whatever is wrong so that our children don't suffer. Yet, we ourselves know that our own maturation came about by working through challenges. Nonetheless, some parents are so overprotective that psychologists are concerned our kids aren't learning the skills needed to encounter, learn to cope with, and grow from suffering. Our well-intended interventions result in preventing our kids from developing resilience, grit, and determination, as well as a basic understanding that difficulty is a natural part of life. A good question to ask, therefore, is what exactly wise and compassionate parenting looks like. How much should we let our children encounter suffering? When is the right time to intervene and protect them? of course, we cannot take things too far. It is our responsibility as parents to protect our children until they can protect themselves. But there are many small ways that our children can learn from difficulty, if we have the wisdom to allow it. Today's lesson is about being at peace with change. This is called equanimity, when we can be calm and balanced even when things are changing. The Buddha taught that everything in life is changing all the time. Let's think about whether this is really true. Can you name something that doesn't change? Whatever your child might point out in response to this question - point out ways it might change. For example- a mountain eventually wears down from water and wind into sand, albeit very slowly over millions of years. The sunrise and sunset change with teh tilting of the earth's axis as it orbits the sun throughout the year. And 5 billion years ago, there wasn't even an earth. And so on. You may suggest seasons, body growing bigger, or starting a new grade at school. Second, there are unexpected changes, things we didn't know were going to happen. What are some unexpected changes you've experienced? Children might say getting sick, not going to a friend's birthday party; dad brought home ice cream. Some of these unexpected changes make us happy, like surprises, but some of them can be pretty stressful, right? Unexpected, unwelcome changes are the hardest kinds of change. What are some unwanted, unwelcome changes? What are some ways we can deal with unexpected difficult changes? If your children don't come up with this themselves, remind them of the following: *talk to our parents *take a break and do something relaxing *talk to ourselves and provide reassurance *breathe slowly *remember equanimity Equanimity means to keep things in perspective. We don't know if something is actually bad until much later. Sometimes things are actually good. And sometimes things turn out to be bad after all, so what can we do then? Reflection: Friends, wow, this week has been hard, eh? The start of in-person school for some, or considering remote learning next Monday. Perhaps you are navigating homeschooling for the first time? One way or another, your children and your family will be entering into a school season for the first time during a pandemic. Personally, I have been up in the air up until a couple of days ago about what to do with my kindergarten student. Only today, Friday, in the afternoon, did the homeroom teacher at his school finally email parents what the Zoom schedule would look like. I think what I'm currently deciding for my son is for him to be in childcare at Dimensions, a nature-based education center, while also taking one day a week to be super intentional about homeschooling for him. My biggest worry in all this has been that he won't learn what he's supposed to learn in Kindergarten (ie: abcs, 123s, starting to write, starting to read left to right, beginning addition and subtraction, etc). However, I need to give myself a break from the mental stress. My son is a bright child. He will catch up. I will be intentional, and he will learn what is needed to enter 1st grade next year with a great start. He WILL have difficulty because he has not been in a 'typical' classroom. There will be a period of adjustment. He will struggle with what I missed, and what his teachers expect from him according to Nebraska State Standards. This is not easy for any of us parents. This is such a difficult year to feel like we are making the right choices, and doing right by our children. ALL of our children will experience difficulty this year in some way....because we are in the middle of a pandemic! Whether it is getting used to wearing masks, washing hands, learning social norms albeit 6 feet away from other children most of the day, or learning new technology, or adjusting expectations, or adjusting to parents and guardians as educators....this is a difficult year. HOWEVER, it will most certainly be a MEMORABLE year. They will be resilient. They will overcome the challenges, and there will be brighter days. They will allow the difficulty to be a teacher in their lives, and it will make them stronger, and more able to adapt to challenges in the future. We're in this together. I'm here for you. Please feel free to reach out if you want another parent to talk to. Discussion Questions: 1. How is silence currently experienced in your family life? 2. How much unstructured time do you have? How much do your children have? What would you like to change, of anything? 3. What are some instances in which allowing difficulty is not appropriate, when it is important for the parent to intervene? What are some instances in which allowing difficulty can serve in learning and transformation? 4. What are some other ideas that would contribute to wise parenting or wise family life?

This is what she says at the end of the book: "Once, while traveling through Vietnam, I saw a family pay for the release of small birds. A student named Mai described the tradition to me. "Buddhists believe in reincarnation, or the idea that we are reborn many times," she said. "Our goal is to be reborn as a higher being each time, until we reach what we call nirvana, or perfect wisdom." Mai explained that good or bad actions affect the way we are reborn. She called this karma. "When you do a good deed, good karma will return to you," said Mai. "Bad deeds will create bad karma." Karma can be thought of as a boomerang- our thoughts and actions eventually find their way back home. Buddhists believe that the effects of Karma may come now, later in life, or in another life altogether. Another Buddhist idea is samsara, or the wheel of life, as illustrated above, with the story's characters. This ancient Buddhist and Hindu symbol represents the circle of life: birth, death, and rebirth. It also shows how past deeds circle back to affect our present and future. Reflection: I have three children ages five and under. They don't always get along. For the most part, they have a great relationship. However, there have been phases such as my middle child knocking over the oldest child's block towers. The youngest wanting to play with a toy and the middle child claiming, 'mine', or demanding, 'get him away from me!'. My middle child is going through an occasional hitting phase. I wonder how this happened?!?!? I started reading books, "Hands Are Not For Hitting!" and telling her how she is a teacher for our youngest and needs to teach him how to do the right thing. We ask her to consider how she would feel if someone hit her. As I'm typing, my 3 yr old is taking paints away from the baby and refusing to let him hold them. Teaching empathy and compassion to children is no easy task. As Unitarian Universalists, many of us either question or don't believe in the concept of Heaven or Hell. So, what is the motivation for making good choices? For many of us, it is that we believe in kindness, in trying to make the world a better place for ourselves and for other humans. However, TEACHING how to make good choices is a complicated task for parents. Discussion Questions 1. Do you believe in Karma, or some form of it? 2. What do you teach your children is the motivation for doing the right thing or choosing good deeds? 3. Have there been moments in your life that have stayed with you where you thought, "I think this is a really good (or bad) Karma moment"? How is that a teachable moment for your children? Although it's a Hindu perspective as opposed to a Buddhist perspective, this UU sermon talks about the connection between the notion of Karma and Unitarian Universalism. https://www.uuman.org/pdf/UUismAHinduPerspective.pdf -- |
