Alternative Parenting Efrat Amira

Every time my kids finish their martial arts class with their exceptional teacher, Dante, they come away not just with improved skills but with a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Dante's classes are a blend of mindfulness, mentorship, and of course, martial arts. His unique approach touches the souls of his students, leaving them enriched and empowered long after the class ends. 
I reached out to Dante because I really wanted to understand his approach in teaching martial arts and I thought it would also be great to share this with all you listeners! So today you will have the conversation I had with him!
In this conversation, we talked about power and discipline which are both very misunderstood in our society.
We attach a positive or negative meaning to power when actually power is just is. Power can definitely be corrupted if not utilized properly, but when we master our power we become the most powerful beings. Martial arts emphasizes discipline and how with discipline we can achieve our biggest hopes and dreams! Discipline also applies to our thoughts because when we gain control over our thoughts and become mindful then we can have a real impact on others and the world around us.

Dante Howell has been building relationships and communities for twenty years. He’s a father, entrepreneur, decorated Martial Arts practitioner, and international mentor/speaker serving youth & adults. He hosts coaching sessions for families, individuals, & professionals. He also serves as a consultant/advisor in various capacities. He carries deep compassion and endeavors to continually walk alongside individuals & communities to assist in repairing unity, and integration; with the hope of seeing wholesome & thriving families. In 2022, Dante co-founded Project DNA Inc. with the hope that all will have an opportunity to heal and be empowered to function "imperfectly perfect" in the human experience.

In this episode, join me as I delve into three personal anecdotes from my journey as a parent. Two of these stories highlight moments I consider successful, where I was able to provide nurturing support that fostered my children's resilience. However, I also candidly share a challenging experience where my own exhaustion left me unable to offer the support my child needed to overcome their struggles. Tune in as I reflect on these experiences and the lessons they impart on the complexities of parenting.

The mind-body connection is obvious to us, we know that our thoughts impact our body directly!
But the part that we are learning more and more about these days is the power of our body in and of itself.
We are mammals, we are part of nature, and we have innate wisdom running through our veins, it’s the one thing that is undeniable.
Parenting trends will come and go, and as science advances we will learn more and more about our human nature but the wisest resource is not in the books but actually within us. What we want to do is learn to listen to it. The way that we do it is by connecting to our bodies.
In this episode I interviewed Leah LaHue, We talked about the connection to our bodies, about birth as the first place where we can tap into our infinite power within, and then take that experience into our parenting, we discussed how we raise our kids to be connected from the get-go to their own inner knowledge so they can find their own purpose in life and curve their path!

Homaya is a highly attuned international spiritual leader, master teacher, and paramount healer, known for bringing together ancient wisdom with innovative contemporary modalities.
Effortlessly, she activates a transformative sacred space filled with advanced luminous codes  facilitating profound shifts in consciousness.
In this episode, we talked about how our relationship with our children has the ability to change the world. We can resist society’s push to create obedient people who serve the system and are obsessed with outside achievement by connecting to the world that lies beneath, the world that is perceived through our subtle senses. Humans are born with a capacity to connect fully and we learn to perceive the disconnection as we grow up but we all are born with the innate gift of living a life of connection to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Tuning into our inner child is the way to connect deeply with our child. Our inner work IS the work of parenting, our relationship with our children will be the reflection of the relationship we have with our kids!
