Not All Culture is LIFE AFFIRMING
byRachelle Seliga
Dear ones,
Not all culture is Life Affirming. Not all culture is Life-Giving.
It doesn't matter if the culture has existed and persisted for hundreds or thousands of years. Not all culture is Life-Giving.
CULTURE is: the beliefs, customs, values, knowledge, behavior, practices of a particular group of people, in a particular place or time - that depends on the transmission of knowledge to succeeding generations.
At this time on the Planet - a lot of the "CULTURE" around child rearing and raising, is life-denigrating.
People say: "I do it this way, because my parents did it this way." Or "It's just how our family does it." Or "It's what my culture has taught me." BUT - Not all culture is Life-Giving.
"We hold on to old thinking, out of reverence for our culture, to the detriment of our children." -AKILAH of Fare of the Freechild
What makes a culture life-giving is: If it is contributing to wellness of the people and the planet.
This is the lens we can look through to determine: Is culture Life-Giving or is it Life - Destroying? Is it contributing to wellness of the whole? Or is it diminishing the wellness of the whole?
For me I always turn to our Physiologic Design as humans - because I understand that our physiologic design IS our Divine Design, IS our "original instruction" as humankind to live in wellness upon Earth. When we understand our Physiologic Design and honor it in action, our Physiologic Design is our unifying CULTURE as humankind.
Physiologic Baby Care Course focuses on the physiologic design of our babies and young children ages 0-3 years old, so that we can understand in our MINDS what we already know to be true in our HEARTS; so that we can move forward in our parenting, in our adulting with confidence. When we raise our children in health and wellness so that they can thrive - through their thriving our children contribute to the health and wellness of the whole.
THAT is a Living Culture. Living Culture serves thriving life of the individual AND of the whole.
I invite you to join me for this year's only Physiologic Baby Care Course, and an incredible global community of adults committed to this Path!
