healing parental wounds through spiritual practice

In the last two episodes of the podcast, we explored both the mother and father wounds in detail. Now that we understand these emotional wounds from an intellectual perspective, how do we actually heal and move forward in our lives? In this third episode, you’ll learn how to begin your journey towards healing from parental wounds from a spiritual perspective grounded in the philosophy of Eastern spirituality. We will also cover the four functions of parenting (nurturing, protection, empowerment and initiation) so you can better understand what you may have missed out on growing up and how you can learn to to foster these qualities within yourself as an adult. TIME STAMPS00:00– 12:00: Listener voicemails + intro (reflections on the mother and fatherwound episodes)14:17 – 21:00: Exploring the mother and father wounds through family constellations therapy21:07 – 32:36: Untying karmic knots and understanding “samskaras”32:26 – 42:55: Why (and how) Buddhist philosophy and the concept of mindfulness can be helpful in healing mother and father wounds42:55 – 50:48: Turning the healing of emotional wounds into a kind of yogic practice50:48 – 55:17: Hidden misperceptions about the mother and father wounds that can become roadblocks in the healing process55:17 – 59:24: What are the four functions of parenting?59:15 – 01:02:07: Mother and Father as NURTURER01:02:07 – 01:07:24: Mother and Father as PROTECTOR01:07:24 – 01:17:22: Mother and Father as EMPOWERER01:17:22 – 01:28:11: Mother and Father as INITIATOR RECOMMENDED RESOURCES- Connected Fates, Separate Destinies: Using Family Constellations Therapy to Recover from Inherited Stories and Trauma by Marine Sélénée- The Wounded Woman: Healing the Father-Daughter Relationship by Linda Schierse LeonardEnjoyed this episode?
