This book is written for those who are interested in healing the root cause of feeling stressed, angry, frustrated, disappointed, irritated or afraid as a parent or as a caretaker to children.

It's also for those who are having spiritual awakenings whilst in the role of parent, and for those seeking enlightenment.

This book offers an entirely different approach to what humans heretofore have named, 'Parenting'. It's aimed at dispelling conditioned beliefs around parenting, bringing the shared purpose of parent and child to awareness, deepening the connection between parents and children, and awakening the conditioned mind from its attraction to suffering.

The title, Unschooling for Parents, was inspired by the author's study of Unschooling as an alternative form of education for her children. Once she began applying unschooling principals to the anxiety she felt over what would become of her children, the author began to experience glimpses into what really causes upset feelings and how they can be resolved.

Thereafter, the author was motivated to study the teachings of Jesus (from A Course In Miracles), Buddha, The Bhagavad Gita, yogic philosophy, quantum physics, and others, which allowed her inner wisdom to be unveiled and which inspires her writing.

This book offers an in-depth view of how the author applied spiritual wisdom, which led to total harmony in her mind and in her relationships, also known as enlightenment. Beginning with the first chapter, aptly named Choiceless Parenting, the reader is exposed to the fact that the world is a dream-like mental hallucination, and that no one is capable of making worldly choices.

But the reader isn't just presented with lofty concepts as if holding a conceptual version of the truth is enough to heal deeply embedded patterns of pain. The author draws on her personal experiences and her access to existential wisdom to lovingly guide the reader through the process of undoing their conditioning around education, chores, annoyance, violence, bullying, complaining, responsibility and more.

Throughout this book, the reader is presented with important guidance which, if applied, can help resolve their mind's attraction to suffering and allow their relationships to be healed completely. Moreover, the author dispels the myth that one has to travel to a secluded place far away from their family to attain enlightenment.

To the contrary, her book encourages and inspires the reader to go through their sufferings with their children, instead of temporarily diminishing the feeling of suffering by avoiding or controlling their children. In short, the author handily demystifies lofty and esoteric teachings by demonstrating how they can be applied to the mundane arena of parenting.

Unschooling for Parents is presented in easily digestible chapters which the reader can use to invoke their inner own wisdom and awaken to the greater purpose and joy of parenting.

About the Author

For approximately the first four decades of my life, I handled discontent in the manner most people consider "normal". Specifically, I taught myself early on that blaming and condemning was the way to preserve my innocence and avoid the threat of punishment, sickness and death. I made my personality, my body, other people, places, things and circumstances responsible for my unhappy feelings, and I projected guilty feelings by blaming and condemning each of them accordingly. My roles as mother to three children, wife and business partner triggered so many unhappy feelings and guilty projections that I no longer felt like the joyful, carefree person I thought I was. Instead, I felt confused, desperate, depressed and sick. In 2009, it occurred to me that "there must be a better way", and my mind was instantly set on finding that way. I launched a website called The Way to The Way, and started sharing my discoveries. I spent approximately five years researching, writing, crying, praying, practicing yoga, meditating and experimenting with many different healing methods, until I had a major breakthrough in the summer of 2014. Instantly, the underlying cause of feeling unhappy was revealed, along with understanding how to resolve what causes unhappy feelings to crop up. I suddenly understood what Jesus meant when he said "You have dominion over the world", and I was eager to apply that understanding to my worldly perceptions. Over time, all of my triggers arose in their full intensity, only to be resolved through the application of reason. For every trigger that was resolved, I could feel my childlike sense of wonder and joy returning, and I perceived my personal relationships healing and blossoming. In 2018, when the Kilauea lava flow apparently wiped out my family home, gardens and business facility - all of which were uninsured - I realized that I had attained the quality of happiness that could not be shaken by worldly circumstances. To this day, I continue to use the sense of unhappiness for healing its cause, which makes me happy, and the world reciprocates my happiness with kindness, gentleness and gratitude.
