WHAT’S NEW? Conscious Parenting!
Do you yell at your kids more often than you’d like? Many parents do and my guess is that you’d love to stop yelling and keep your cool with your kids instead.
My friend and colleague, Toni Schutta, has been helping families reduce yelling for 19 years and she has a proven system for helping parents (and kids) reduce anger, arguing and fighting.
Toni’s known as “The Parent Coach who Gets Results” and she’s offering a free online training this week called, “From Anger to Calm: 3 Secrets for Creating a Peaceful Family.”
Yelling is the number one source of a parent’s guilt! You yell at your child and your child feels bad. Then you feel lousy, guilty, and full of remorse. Sometimes your child yells back and then the fireworks really get started.
Toni has worked with thousands of families in the last 19 years and helped each and every parent reduce the number of times they yell at their kids to once a week or less. Wouldn’t that feel great?
All you have to do is register now for Toni’s free online training, “From Anger to Calm: 3 Secrets for Creating a Peaceful Family” so you can start 2014 feeling great about your parenting. (I wish my family had this when I was growing up!)
It’s happening TODAY and tomorrow so save your spot NOW!
Blessings and love, Sheri Rosenthal

OUR GUEST ARTICLE
Tibetan Wisdom With a Feminine Twist…
“The world will be saved by the Western woman”
~ The Dalai Lama
In the world of Tibetan Buddhism, if you dig deep, you will find a belief that women are considered to be a lesser rebirth. In other words the only way to truly attain liberation or enlightenment is in a man’s body.
Gautama Buddha or Siddhartha, who is the founder of Buddhism, strongly resisted his aunt becoming his first nun. Some say this was due to the fact that he believed the monks would just have the nuns running around after them doing their cooking and cleaning. And if we consider this particular Buddha was alive circa 600BC or maybe even earlier, he definitely had a point wouldn’t you agree?
However I feel the later belief of women being a lesser rebirth was a man-made confusion, which evolved after Buddha’s initial timely concerns. Thankfully things have come a long way for women now – especially in the West. We have a lot more freedom although there is still work to be done. And I believe that is why the Dalai Lama said the world will be saved by the Western woman.
We’ve not any better than our Eastern sisters, we simply have more freedom and therefore have more influence. In addition, taking the next step, we know that we’re all equal – all women and all men. The masculine and the feminine are like day and night. We need both. But unfortunately we have been without true equality for so long and it manifests in how badly we treat our mother earth.
But knowing this, I couldn’t sit with this seemingly patriarchal belief in Tibetan Buddhism – so I set off on a mission to find a female master to explore this with. I came across an incredible Western woman living in India, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.
Originally from the East London she now runs a nunnery where she is totally devoted to reviving the female yogini in Tibetan Buddhism. On top of that – her personal goal is to become the first enlightened female master whom upon death returns back to earth to help everyone else achieve the same. This is what is known as a Bodhisattva.
As luck would have it – or rather the magic of India willed it, I managed to get a one-hour private audience with her to explore my burning question around women in Buddhism.
Her response was that even in a group of women, some things that work for one, don’t necessarily work for another. That there are no specific methods that suit just the feminine or the masculine and it is my job to check what works for me as an individual, in everything that I am taught. Those words brought me great peace.
For ultimately whether we are in a female body or a male body we have free will. We have discernment. We can sense if something is right or wrong for us and hopefully have the courage to enact upon that despite what may be going on around us.
And if we embrace that, each and everyone of us, men and women, brother and sister, husband and wife, we might…we just might get to save our feminine planet before she is all but destroyed. For after all, the microcosm has the power to affect the macrocosm right?

Blessings & Love, Lisa Tully
Join Lisa Tully for her special journey designed to explore the local spiritual and mystical traditions of the Tibetan and Ladakhi people. During this unusual adventure you will attend two winter festivals of the oracles, the Stok Guru Tsechu festival and Matho Nagrang Festival – as well as attending a local shamanic session with a female lay oracle (where you’ll have the opportunity for personal healing). Details: Mystics, Oracles & Shamans of Ladakh – March 6-19th, 2014.
Lisa is your gracious tour host – her background is Irish and her travels to India first began when she was 21. Her spiritual journey began over 10 years ago and she is now a practicing Tibetan Buddhist having sought refuge with the Dalai Lama in his hometown of McLeod Ganj, India.
When she is not running tours in India she spends as much time as possible there on personal retreat and attending Buddhist teachings and initiations to further her own personal practice.
