Om School: Visualizing Abundance

Om School Philosophy

“…our love for our children is expressed and experienced in the quality of the moment-to-moment relationships we have with them. It deepens in everyday moments when we hold those moments in awareness and dwell within them. Love is expressed in how we pass the bread, or how we say good morning, and not just in the big trip to Disney World. It is in the everyday kindnesses we show, the understanding we bring, and in the openness of our acceptance. Love is expressed by embodying love in our actions. Whether we are facing good times or hard times on any given day or in any given moment, the quality of our attention and our presence is a deep measure of our caring and of our love for our children.” Jon and Myla Kabat-Zinn, Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting
