With so much global overwhelm, and so much happening at this time, let’s have a safe place for parents to help create calm in their lives and their families’ lives.  We will be addressing the needs of the body, mind, and spirit in a holistic way.

In this episode, we're going to continue talking about ways to calm the nervous system, including: What does nervousness look like in kids? How can we help our kids settle themselves? and How can we address this from the perspectives of body, mind, and spirit?

These pandemic years have created layers of loss in our families- from the death of loved ones to the constant disruption of our ways of being together. In this episode, we dive into exploring grief with our children.  We talk about the emotional and spiritual side of grieving, how to grieve in our families and how to allow grieving to deepen and strengthen our family life.

In the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, TX, this episode grapples with tough questions facing parents: How and when do we talk about hard, scary things with our kids? Where can we find support? How do we process fear, anger, and stress with our children? Join us for this new episode on processing trauma and tragedy with our children.

In this episode of Creating Calm: Parenting with Mind-Body-Spirit, Arlene and Corinne bring humor, depth and honesty to their conversation about creating safe boundaries for our kids while honoring who they are. Finding compromise and meeting as equal souls are two key ideas from the Edgar Cayce readings on parenting. This episode unpacks how to hold to these and other spiritual guideposts while navigating screen time, social media, outbursts and breakdowns.

The Edgar Cayce readings tell us that each soul enters its life with a purpose, a mission. How do we help to guide our children’s soul growth? How do we—parents, grandparents, caregivers— stay in attunement with our own soul’s purpose as we navigate family life? Arlene and Corinne explore an often overlooked and misunderstood vital key to supporting our own soul growth and our children’s in this new episode.

Edgar Cayce’s readings say that when we are asleep and dreaming, we are often in touch with our soul mind—and processing events in our waking lives through the lens of our soul’s purpose. Talking about dreams with our children can help them manage stress, make decisions, process change, and begin to get comfortable with their own expansive consciousness. Join Arlene and Corinne for a conversation on how to deepen your relationship to sleep and dreaming in your family, and learn tips and tools for interpreting dreams and getting enough sleep.
