My guest today is Prue. She is 44 years old and has a 9-year-old son.
Five years ago, in a time of turmoil and spurred by a deep knowing that there was more to explore, to know, to feel but not knowing how to unlock it all, she travelled to Pune, India after reading about the Osho Meditation Resort in a magazine. She went with no experience of meditation or knowledge of who Osho was, purely feeling a deep pull to go. That experience sparked a divergent path exploring consciousness, sensuality, conscious relating, conscious parenting, and loving wholeheartedly.
In this podcast, I am starting to introduce resources that are not mentioned in the book. I had this vision for a while to create a forum for anybody in my community to share valuable tools they found.
Prue is introducing the “Emotions traffic light toolbox” for parents and those that relate with young people at the end of this podcast. Her hope is that it will help other families as it has hers.
Here are some of the highlights in our conversation:
- Finding calm and peace at the bottom of her “inner ocean”
- Her experience of anger transforming into strength
- After learning to let go of old patterns, she found her right partner
-She mentions 3 of her key learnings:
1. Acceptance of what is
2. ‘Look at yourself with loving, compassionate and tender eyes'
3. ‘If you have eyes to see, be aware of what you say to whom and when’
- Connecting with the heart has amplified all of her feelings
- A desolate inner landscape became a spring wonderland through acceptance
Her tip for the listener: The emotions traffic light toolbox normalises emotions for the whole family. It’s a straightforward system to identify emotions and be able to support yourself and each other to transition to the “green zone” where we are happy, calm, focused and loving.
