Create the Verse from within
a Mindful Parenting State
We suggest that you create the verse while in a mindful state. This means that you
might establish for yourself a calm and relaxing mood while bringing into awareness an event or instance when you were partcularly
moved by your child's presence in your life. Or take a moment to jot down a verse that comes to mind during or shortly
after you experience such an wonderful event or instance. Click
here for a brief discussion of the joy to be experienced creating
and using mindful parenting verses.
There is no criteria for acceptance other than that the submission derives from an open
heart.
