Customer Reviews

Great book!

I had been exploring the prospect of adopting my three year old niece, and was looking for a way to frame this new stage in my life. The Path of Parenting helped me think about parenting as a part of my spiritual practice--and really gave me a way to create a new context for my life with my niece. I highly recommend it.

The Path of Life

I highly recommend "The Path of Parenting" by Vimala McClure. She takes 12 principles from the Taoism and T'ai Chi and applies them to parenting. The wisdom Ms. McClure imparts beckoned me to look inward in order to find my outward relationship with Julien. (Isn't it always this way.) As a result, I have started relaxing, slowing down, and enjoying the moments much more, not just with wee Julien but also with my partner Heather, my work, and even my *gasp* dad!. I have begun to meditate, not for long mantra-filled sessions, mind you, but with a few minutes of pleasant emptiness that really does get me more balanced for the day.I don't often read non-fiction, but this parenting business is all pretty much self-study (pardon the pun) so I have gained a small library. This book is at the front because its taught me some fundamentals of not just parenting, but of living life... James E.
