Back by popular demand! We're excited to revisit our conversation with Dr. Shefali, originally released two years ago, where she delves into the transformative power of conscious parenting. Whether you missed it the first time or need a refresher, this episode offers timeless insights.

Dont miss : Harvest is organising a retreat with Dr. Shefali on the 30th of October. You can bring your children in beautiful Kaplankaya, on the South Western Aegean Cost of Turkey : Link.

[2:19] How is our ego on the way to a good education? There is a parental ego in function that makes the parent ego think that they are in complete control of the children and that children are their possessions. What is included in the ego: I need to be in control. From that comes the need to impose all my beliefs on my children (religion, culture, competition...)

[6:55] What are the consequences of this kind of education on our children? They become little mini-me or become a "bad child".

[7:44] What happens if you have two parents with different egos? or only one of them is conscious, and the other is not?

[8:50] What are the steps to become a more conscious parent? To wake up! I have been living a pattern, it wasn't me! You should start before having children.

[10:46] How to get rid of perfectionism? You have to be aware that you are killing the joy.

[12:50] How do you self-reflect on how you were conditioned by your parents without feeling ingrateful?

[17:00] How did Dr Shefali change when she had a child? Even if she was already meditating, she started herself also "full of ego".

[19:20] So, how do we still educate our children and let them integrate into society?

[20:29] Are we doing a favour to our children by making sure they speak so many languages, be a maths champion, or be the best at sports so they fit in a super competitive world?

[25:00] What are we petrified in general? We are afraid to be an average human, especially in the area of social media.

[29:10] What are the three lies parents are being told? Why are we not supposed to be responsible for making our children happy?

[31:30] What is the difference between positive parenting and conscious parenting? The importance of the presence of the maternal figure.

[35:35] How was Dr Shefali raised herself? Her mother was patient.

[37:00] Little questions for Dr Shefali, like I don't know how to say 'No' to children.

[39:27] Harvest of the Day : if there is one thing that give hope to Dr Shefali?

Next week, we will release a new episode with scientist Bruce Damer, about the origins of life, the links between mysticism and science, and the potential impact of psychedelics on leaders.
