In this episode I take a look at how we as parents, leaders and elders can affect our children in a way that truly allows the emergence of their highest self, beyond our own ideals of what we think should be. Can we put our own egos aside and meet them with a spirit of freedom and encouragement? Followed by a brief clip of my 6 year old son Tao, accompanying me on the gongs.

Welcome to the Spiritual Warrior Shamanic Sound Healing Podcast. I’m Rasa Priya.
In this episode I ask the question, how can we raise our children in a way that really awakens their true potential? Can we as parents get out the way of our own ideals, of what we think should be, and really allow what wants to emerge? What wants unfold.
Let’s face it. The way most of us were raised was simply not enough. Yes, our parents did their best from where they are situated, from how they view the world, from their own perspective. For many of them, their perspectives were influenced by their own wounding and the influence of their environment, from a perspective of separate interest, and the idea of self preservation. Racism, quarrel and hypocrisy are the byproducts of such an environment to name a few.
If we are to make healthy changes in the world around us, we must do something different. The old ways simply do not work. We have to be willing to face our own inadequacies with humility, tolerance and giving honor to others. We need to be able to hold space for the wounding of others, while maintaining our own sense of self.
Our children are the vessels of this great shift. Within them is the potential for a new way of being. Their capacity is unlimited. We as parents, teachers, guides, friends have a choice. We can choose to perpetuate our own wounding, our own stories of separation and disdain for the things we do not like. Or we can choose to put our egos aside and let the essence of who they are guide them into the emergence of their natural beauty and creative expression.
The choice is ours. Do we repeat the tactics of controls, labels and classification? Do we give in to the social norms and judgments of right and wrong, good and bad? Or do we step back with loving guidance and encouragement for who they want to naturally be? Even if that means our own discomfort and shifts in our own behaviors. If we want something different, we have to do something different. The old ways simply do to work.
In this clip, my six year old son Tao and I share a musical moment together. What I truly love about this is how he shows up, free with his own creative spirit. Listen as he plays the gongs
