of consciousness, here and now. Heav- en is the state of wonder and natural well-being where children dwell and in their company, we naturally re-enter the kingdom.
Steve Taylor, a UK university lecturer and researcher, is the author of Waking from Sleep, described by Eckhart Tolle as, “One of the best books on spiritual awakening I have come across.” His new book is Out of the Darkness – from Turmoil to Transformation. Visit

How to Treat Parenthood
as a Spiritual Path n Don’t be tempted to rush your chil- dren; try not to be impatient at their slowness. Walk at their pace and be mindful with them.
n Consciously cultivate a fresh, intense, childlike vision. Imagine how the world looks through their eyes.
n Let youngsters teach you the mar- vels of the world around you. Be as open and curious as they are, not tak- ing anything you know for granted.
n Give yourself wholly to play with kids, allowing yourself to step outside your mental world of worries and responsibilities.
How to Support Your Inner Child’s
Natural Spirituality n Don’t be irritated when children ask, “Why?” Encourage their sense of wonder.
n Try not to be irritated by youthful exuberance and excitement.
n Try to limit the amount of time kids watch TV or play computer games.
n Encourage children to use their own creativity by inventing games, drawing or painting.
n Schedule periods of quiet relax- ation and meditation, which enable them to feel more at home within their own being.
