The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents: Guiding Your Children to Success and Fulfillment

By Deepak Chopra

Book Overview

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success was a phenomenon that touched millions of lives. Its author, Deepak Chopra, received thousands of letters from parents who expressed the desire to convey the principles they had learned to their children, along with questions about how to do so. The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents is Dr. Chopra's answer to those parents who wish to raise children with values that satisfy spiritual needs as well as create the experience of abundance. Exploring specific ways to practice the Seven Spiritual Laws as a family, Chopra explains how to convey these laws to children, and how to embody them in age-specific activities each day. The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents moves us beyond a focus on private triumphs and failures to experience the spiritual nature of communion with family, to share with those closest to us the infinite riches of innocence and love. The deepest nurturing you can give your child is spiritual nurturing. There are seven simple sayings that can have a profound impact on your child's life. * Everything is possible. * If you want to get something, give something. * When you make a choice, you change the future. * Don't say no--go with the flow. * Every time you wish or want, you plant a seed. * Enjoy the journey. * You are here for a reason. Raised with these insights, every child can obtain the success that comes from having the most valuable skills anyone can possess: the ability to love and have compassion, and the capacity to feel joy and spread it to others. In this essential work for every parent, Deepak Chopra reflects on his experiences as a father as well as his own spiritual journey and offers profound and practical ways for sharing these principles with your children.

What else is there?

What else is there in this world to instill into our children if it isnt this? This book was incredibly powerful for me, I suggested all the adults in my houshold read it, as they are influencing my children as well.. So simple, yet so profound at the same time. If every person in the world incorporated just ONE of theses principles into their daily lives, the world would be a VASTLY different, better place. Thank the stars for Deepak Chopra and his wisdom and insight into the nature of spirit.

Absolutely love this

I am a psychologist and I have used this book to refer to many parents - it is a great way to get a family focused!

Excellent Ideas for Creating a Spiritual Foundation

I was aware that I wanted some guidance to focus on the spiritual aspects of my child's development. This book offers such a guide. It is not meant to be the concise book on parenting. Parenting, like everything in life, is a continuing journey of discovery, and different books and resources provide for different areas of that development. This book has heaps of ideas for incorporating simple activities in your life to introduce spiritual principles to your family. The information was incredible for developing my own awareness so I'm very excited about sharing it with my child, partner, and extended family - and learning even more myself in the process!

A Gift From The Spirit

This book truly opened up my soul to what it means to give your child the truth gift of life and understanding. It took me years of searching for my true inner peace with the spirit because I walked that road by myself. No longer do the sins of the parent have to rest on the shoulders of the children. Dr. Chopra has helped lifted the veil between me, my self, and I. I so shall I do the same for my son.

Excellent spiritfilled insights - useful!

This book is wonderful for parents and even mentors who would like to approach instilling discipline in a spirit centered way. Discipline is not a dirty word. It is instruction not destruction.
