Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant – #7 Game Day(…my husband’s term)!

Golden Rule #7 – Game Day!

You have been studying the Golden Rules and it’s time for Game Day (OK…… I compromised on this term with my husband)!  Preparing yourself for motherhood is the most important thing you can do in your life. We spend time preparing for exams, events, and many other outside activities, but we give little thought to this most sacred happening.

We all know by now, that the stork doesn’t drop off a baby in a bundle to earth. The sexual act creates life. Many couples come to a point where they decide to get pregnant and suddenly, the act of making love becomes a job, as depicted in the TV Show Sex in the City with Charlotte trying so hard to get pregnant!

We all celebrate the day we were born but really the most important day was the moment of conception. You need to know how important this moment is. In a split second a life is being creating and formed and don’t you want to do more than screwing? So how do we, as women, create the immaculate concept?

What to do / Action Steps:

1. Study the art of tantra. There is a reason why tantric scenes are sculpted in temples…it is not pornography. The temples honor the power of sexuality. It is important to experience pleasure in conceiving a child.
2. Deepen the love connection between you and your partner as I have described in Golden Rule #1.
3. When two people come together to make love consciously to create a life, there is no higher state of being. Make sure as a couple that both your intentions are to create an incredible being, who will be a blessing to earth.
4. Know that you have the capability to create a Christ, Buddha, Krishna or Mohammed within your being.
5. Use in your everyday living the noble truths: right thoughts, right speech, right actions.
6. Raise your vibration by bathing in rose petals with rosewater and oil. Roses carry the highest frequencies….bathing in it cleans and purifies your body and soul.
7. The more you are able to love unconditionally, the more you will create heaven on earth.

Children hold the key to our future. We want them to be spiritually evolved and created in the spirit of pure love. You have the power to create this!

Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant – #6 Find Fulfillment within Yourself!

Golden Rule #6 – Find fulfillment within yourself!

I have often heard excited new mothers stating that they felt complete after giving birth. It is wonderful to feel complete with a new baby, but really believing your words can ultimately lead you down a difficult road with your relationship with your child.  No one here on earth is here to complete you. This is your job. Wholeness comes from within.  The more you accept this as a truth, you will not be placing unrealistic expectations on your child. How many people have you witnessed that are living through their children?

What to do / Action Steps:

1. Right now, in this moment, review things that you dream of being doing or having. Becoming a parent doesn’t equal giving up on your fondest dreams. The more you explore the uncharted areas of your life and consciousness, you will start to discover the treasure within you.
2. Be present with your thoughts, feelings and actions. If you observe and understand you, life will become a lot of easier. This is the magic you want to pass on to your child. A loving, caring parent, complete within themselves is the greatest gift you can offer a child. The more you are ‘the real you.’ the more you allow your child to grow into being themselves. Can you imagine what the world would be like if people could just be themselves? This is possible…..but only when the mother and father experience the truth within themselves.
3. Take time out every day to connect within, through pray and meditation. Love you enough to be the real you. We can all create heaven on earth just by being the love we seek. The love is in you. So much of our lives are wasting energy of being what we think the world wants us to be. The media bombards us with false images of being feminine or masculine.

As we contemplate bringing a life into the world, we must learn to love ourselves first, in a deep spiritual way (not narcissism) Find out who you truly are. Are we our education, our clothes, our cars or our homes? We would quickly say that we are not ‘our’ things, but isn’t that how we really live our lives?  There is something more. Each one of us is divine and when we start to live from our hearts and not our heads, we can usher in an era of children who will develop and grow as their spirit has intended.  Remember…..the magic is in you!

Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant – #5 Heal your Physical Body!

Golden Rule #5 - Heal your Physical Body! 

A  V.I P. is coming to your home for dinner (possibly President Obama or the Dali Lama).  What would you do? You would probably clean your house; dress in your finest clothing and prepare a glorious feast. Your upcoming pregnancy needs to be viewed with the same perspective…. an important guest is arriving soon. Your body is the temple which will be hosting this great guest. What will you do to prepare? 

What to do / action steps: 

1. Clean and detoxify your body of any bad habits such as smoking, drugs, and excessive drinking and eating. Sweep away these habits before pregnancy.
2.  Alkalize your body. You can purchase PH strips that you can test your own urine and saliva at home and see what your PH levels are. Most people have too much acid in their bodies. An alkalized body is a healthy body for you and your child.
3. Drink lots of fresh, clean water and add a lime to it. This will assist in alkalizing the body.
4. Develop good nutritional habits. The most important key is to have a “balanced” diet. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables with protein and carbohydrates. You don’t have to eliminate sugar but keep it in check. Sometimes a woman decides that being pregnant is giving her permission to get fat and over indulge…wrong. This is the time to eat better than ever.
5. Build a strong fit body. This is important for you as well as the baby. Choose an exercise that you enjoy. I played tennis for six months of my pregnancy.  One day after a tennis match my body said no more. Listen to your body. It will guide you what to do or not do.
6. Walk in sunshine. Yes, make sure you’re exposed to sunlight. We need the vitamin D for a strong healthy body.  Add supplements and vitamins to support a healthy body.
7. Love yourself and just do the best that you can.

 

Loving and nourishing and taking care of your body is a gift to yourself and the baby. This child is a spark of light descending from the world of spirit down to earth. The baby is choosing you. The child is divine and remember…. your body is the sacred vessel.

Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant – #4 Reconnect with your Soul!

Golden Rule # 4 – Reconnect with your Soul! 

How often do you think about your soul or spiritual self?  We spend so much time thinking about our physical being, but sparing moments contemplating our own soul. The soul is everlasting but our bodies are mortal. Get in touch with your spirituality …whatever that means to you. 

Our spiritual nature needs to be a daily happening. The more you get in touch with your true spiritual nature, the more positive influence you’ll be for your unborn child.  Bliss and beauty are eternal principles available to all, but it comes from an “internal” experience with the Divine. 

What to do / action steps: 

1. Set aside time everyday to get in touch with a state of being. Meditate and watch your thoughts, while you listen to your breath. Allow your spirit to move through you in a deeper and more profound experience of life.
2.  Connect with nature. It can be as simple as witnessing a sunset or watching a bird in flight. Nature assists us in reconnecting to our spiritual selves.
3.  Listen to uplifting music that makes your heart soar.

 Start to follow your inner guidance and more joy will flow into your life. A happy, serene mother equals a happy, peaceful baby. You are the life force that nourishes an infant. Nourish your soul and self by developing your true inner spirit. Pray with passion and fill your body with grace.  Love is our true essence!

Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant – #3 Heal your own Birth Experience!

Golden Rule #3 – Heal your own Birth Experience

“Ludicrous” was my reaction to a friend twenty years ago, when she shared her rebirthing healing session with me.  What a bunch of new age nonsense, I arrogantly thought.  I felt that people were just addicted to healing and searching for another reason to why they were so unhappy.  I don’t have any birth trauma……..boy was I wrong!

On my first visit to Ecuador to study with Shamans, one of the members in my group was a psychotherapist from Colorado.  We had a four hour layover between our travels and she offered the group a rebirthing session.  I had nothing else to do so I agreed. A few hours later I was shocked by my experience.  My subconscious memories through a simple breath-work technique starting to release tension and trauma I never knew existed inside of me.  The experience was so profound that it even touched me on a deeper spiritual level where I spoke to my spiritual guides before my entrance into the tiny infant body of Cynthia.  Energy washed through my body and even at one point my arms became completely paralyzed.  Through conscious breathing with the assistance of the psychotherapist all the tension untied itself.  I started to experience more freedom as light filled my up my body. I felt renewed.

Unconsciously when we are about to give birth, we recreate what our own mothers went through with us. I was a forceps delivered infant and three out of my four children came into this world the same way. I repeated my mother’s pattern until I realized the mind body connection with my fourth and she just popped out into this world on her own. In preparing for your upcoming pregnancy it would be optimal for you to experience a rebirthing session.

What to do /Action Steps:

1. Transformational Breath-work (which is what I did).  You’ll lie down on the ground with a trained Re-Birth Healer and start learning to breathe simply and more deeply.
2. Water Re-Birthing- You’ll be taken in a pool or a hot tub and with the guidance of a Re-Birth Healer, you will start to release cellular memories in your own DNA of the trauma of being born.

Hogwash? ….maybe, but don’t judge it unless you experience it. You might be surprised and healed by this experience.  This will be a monumental step in preparing and creating a blessed birth for your child!
