What A Father Needs To Be

My Father

I learned that I should be very grateful that I had an understanding, caring, loving, and healthy relationship with my father. I learned many things from him and I really think that he learned things from his children too. I really appreciate the relationship that I had with him and I will cherish our memories forever.

Thanks Dorothy

I needed that today! My 15 yr old daughter and I had a brief spat 2 nights ago over disrespect. Kids are tough y’all, we do the best we can!

Fatherhood

I USED to think that my title of father defined me and my life fairly well! Then? The world crashed in like an evil wave! First I suffered a massive stroke, taking me away from my wife and children for six long months. Returning home unable to walk any longer life became a litany of dependencies upon my family for even the smallest of actions. All three of my kids had to see me wallowing, unable to so much as sit up in bed under my own power. Then months and months more work struggling to learn to move and walk for myself once again...all while having lost all means of supporting our family. Now? My elder two kids are legally adults, and though still under my roof, basically beyond my control or influence. The youngest is here under state and county imposed ”house arrest” due to this Chinese bioweapon attack and overly restrictive rules and orders locking us down away from the world! I'm at my lowest point mentally since I started my mindfulness practice with Aura a few years ago, having found myself feeling suicidal over my situation. Lately, I've moved away from mindfulness, but realized this morning I NEEDED to return to the habit! This new Aura interface is pretty and all, but the mechanics of it are odd. I listened to a couple of sessions, but wasn't offered to reflect upon either in the usual fashion. Does Aura not do this any longer? Or is it a glitch I've run in too?

Relaxation

I’m learning how to relax my mind and body. So I’m not always tense, able to go into a deeper sleep. Waking more refreshed.

I just got done with meditation and I took all my stress away

I learned that if you meditate it helps kill all the stress and burn things that stress you out during the day I have learned a lot of things like not getting to go anywhere and that really stresses me out and people holler Margo Margo too much and I don’t like that anymore because I’m seriously sick tired people doing that and this meditation helps me relax and stay calm and quiet and at peace and I love this meditation ❤️

Spot on

These 8 principles are crucial for fatherhood and the development of a great father - child relationship. I do aim to practice most, but I saved the episode to relisten in the future.
