The time for a new beginning has arrived,
Where family is no longer the chain that binds us
But is the earth from which we blossom
And the sky we learn to fly.
No matter how the family unit looks,
It begins with a parent and child.
A relationship that holds the energy of the sun,
With power to break patterns and resurrect the spirit.
The awakened family waits for no one,
It begins to heal right here, right now.
It recognizes that these sacred bonds
Can revolutionize the planet.
We awaken when we become aware of who we truly are. This awareness brings a realization of how liberating it is to be authentic—to be real , instead of who we think we are supposed to be or who others want us to be. Once we have connected with our sovereign spirit, creating the space for our children to get in touch with their own spirit becomes the critical objective of parenthood. Committed to the manifestation of the true self in each member of the family, the awakened family paves the way for children to own, discover, and express their inner voice, through which they foster connectivity with both their own being and that of others. Cognizant that this right to express their own spirit is the key ingredient for their present and future resilience and empowerment, they become a part of the global evolution of a world built on compassion, nonviolence, and prosperity.
An awakened parent is one who is aware that the traditional paradigms of parenting, where the parent is seen as greater than the child, are obsolete in the modern world, producing dysfunction and disconnection in families. Instead, they are willing to be the architects of a new model of parenthood where parent and child are seen as equal, serving as mutual partners on a path of growth founded on increasing consciousness.
In an awakened family, parents are aware that every relationship in their family exists to help each person grow. Parents view their children as mirrors through which they are able to see how they themselves need to mature and develop. Instead of fixing what they see as faults in their children, these parents seek to work on themselves, raising their own levels of maturity and presence. The focus is always on the parent’s awareness rather than the child’s behavior. This is the core insight of the book.
When parents are aware in the present moment, learning and growing alongside their children, the entire family thrives. Free to actualize their individual destiny, each family member lives unencumbered and unafraid. Empowered with self-awareness, boundless in self-belief, liberated in self-expression, each feels free to explore, discover, and manifest their authentic being. This is the mandate of the awakened family.
