Episode 124 - Love Care and Compassion for Ourselves with Kanika Vasudeva
Aware Parenting Stories with Joss GouldenShow Notes
In this episode I talk with Kanika Vasudeva , who is a parenting coach, energy healer and Akashic Records reader from the Art of Life Center. She supports parents to explore the record of their soul's journey across lifetimes and to heal. She blends spiritual tools with grounded support to help parents feel more whole themselves, and raise empowered children.
Please note that Kanika is not an Aware Parenting Instructor. Aware parenting does not incorporate or endorse any particular spiritual beliefs, so today's conversation extends beyond aware parenting. In this episode we talk about pregnancy loss and grief so I invite you to check in with yourself to see if you want to listen if this has been part of your story too.
Kanika shares her awakening into conscious parenting and emotional healing that began after the stillbirth of her daughter at 31 weeks pregnant. She shares her experience with Akashic records and how she sees that exploring past lives and ancestral trauma can support parents through parenting, loss and healing. We talk about parenting as a spiritual practice and how we can support our children to stay connected to their unique soul and inherent wisdom by doing our own healing work. We talk about self-compassion, self care and embracing imperfection. Kanika shares some simple but powerful practices we can use to support ourselves in moments of stress and overwhelm.
