Rich with real-life examples and resources, these accessible teachings, stories, and practices are for parents to better care for themselves in order to be there for their children\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book addresses the universal experience in parenting of loving someone more deeply than our own selves and being powerless to keep them from pain. Drawing from her own experience parenting a clinically depressed and suicidal child and another through physical injury, Celia Landman guides parents at their limit back from helplessness to stability through the ancient practice of equanimity, or balance. Rich with real life examples from parents in the midst of caring for children in crisis and plentiful resources, this book offers accessible practices for parents to care for themselves in order to care for their children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing research from contemplative neuroscience and developmental psychology, this book demonstrates how a parent's state of anxiety is directly communicated to the child and can intensify their pain. The author gently guides parents to restore their own balance through understanding how to keep their heart open and their hands off the wheel of controlling how their child's life unfolds. This shift into equanimity frees emotional enmeshment and can bring relief to both child and parent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWoven throughout are practices to help parents understand that their emotional state of being is as important as what they do. When we recognize that being a presence of love and care is already doing something of great value, it can reconnect us with purpose and restore our trust that we are capable and enough. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from the three limbs of Buddhist wisdom, the ancient teachings of the Theravadan elders, the gentleness of Vietnamese Zen and the compassion of the Tibetan Vajraya, this book gives guidance and detailed practices for developing equanimity through understanding the universality of suffering, karma or intention, awareness of our own emotions, grieving what we do not want and forgiving ourselves and others. There are techniques for accompanying ourselves to find emotional safety and to accept and offer compassion to all emotional experiences, leaving nothing out. The practice of equanimity is an antidote to burnout for caregivers and in clinical trials showed heightened resilience and greater return to baseline for those who practice. This information can support any parent in better self-awareness and self-care, not only those who are experiencing difficulty, but in the everyday challenges of supporting our children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745644159249,"sku":"NGR9781952692550","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331583115537,"sku":"CIN1952692555G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694249443601,"sku":"CIN1952692555VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1952692555.jpg?v=1751282752"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-celia-landman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
