Unfortunately, it usually takes someone hitting rock bottom before they are ready to make changes in their life or clear limiting patterns, painful memories or self- sabotaging tendencies. For some, it is a lot easier to forge ahead and numb the pain on a Friday night then actually deal with it. You don’t know how bad it is, or how much better it can actually become, until you are forced to take a deep look in the mirror and make a change. You can continue to blame every relationship or person in your life for your issues, but it really has nothing to do with them. It is all you love.
If you haven’t had the chance to see how your past effects your present this section should shine some light on this area for you. If you have tried to hide or ignore physical or sexual abuse, traumatic births, miscarriages or abortions (or anything that directly affects your body or body image) it is time to look at these wounds head on. Even if none of this has happened to you I know that you have a friend or a distant family member who has been effected. You have the power to heal this for all of these women. This work matters because until all of us are ready to rise up there is still more work to do on earth. My hope is that you can begin to see all your weaknesses and heal them for your children.
Poor utero nutrition can contribute to childhood obesity. This applies to both women who do not eat enough nutrition and those that eat too much of unhealthy foods such as junk food. Children born to overweight mothers are epigentically programmed to build adipose tissue at birth because in both cases the babies experience nutrient deficiencies. When the mother is not getting enough of the right nutrients for health the child inside is programmed to feel that there is not enough. If the intrauterine environment is lacking when the child comes out he or she will always be feeling that scarcity on a cellular level and consistently be desiring more food. The mother actually programs the child to be overweight because in utero the child never had enough.
Many of the women who are eating fast food in pregnancy could actually be significantly harming their child. Research showed that a high level of endotoxin, a word that means inner poison, was found in individuals after eating McDonalds. When endotoxin is found in the body the immune system immediately believes that a foreign invader has arrived which results in a significant amount of inflammation. Inflammation in turn negatively effects your microbiome and thus the DNA of your cells affecting your entire health. One in four Americans eat fast food regularly and reducing this high carbohydrate, sugar and trans fat diet during pregnancy could be as critical to pregnancy as stopping consumption of alcohol or drugs.
At the moment of conception your frequency, or vibrational quality, determines the type of child that you will birth into this world. This sacred event involves all the senses of human existence here on earth. You carry a specific vibration, sound, smell, feeling and taste which are unique to you and help to create your child. You also carry all the memories and karma of past generations within your cells along with your own unique destiny to potentially fulfill within your lifetime.
As sacred geometrical shapes are produced in a perfectly calculated mathematical order. This series of events is consciousness at its best. Consider your womb to be equal to the Void within all time and space. You are the Universe within the Universe creating life for the All in absolute perfect harmony. The geometrical shapes created within your womb after conception and throughout pregnancy composes the basic building blocks of life. Each shape is deeply connected to specific aspects of your being and represents a different facet of your generational history, physical existence, thought patterns, belief systems, and connection to Spirit. The purpose of Mystical Motherhood is to help you clear this density so that you can attract a crystalline soul.
“You learn more from hundred twentieth day to the seventh month than you learn in seventy years of your life.” –Yogi Bhajan
During pregnancy, everything you think, feel, and experience is passed on to your child through the womb. This period is crucial to developing a magical and intelligent individual, and your role is to remain in harmony and balance in order to provide the child with belief systems built on respect, appreciation, and love. If you settled into a daily meditation practice before conceiving, pregnancy is a time to go deeper and expand into greater gratitude and connection. If you have not established a meditation practice and you are pregnant, start now by incorporating any of the techniques discussed in this book. Kundalini Yoga and Meditation is the fastest way to let go of fear, guilt, and insecurities that may otherwise be passed on to your child.
During motherhood, you will have to consciously face the belief systems that were passed down through your family regarding nurturing. Your ability to remain stable will be constantly tested by a child capable of bringing all your neurotic tendencies to the surface. As long as you remain awake and aware, any habitual negative parenting behaviors passed down from previous generations can be faced and eliminated. You can heal the past web of expectations, needs, and miscommunication that occurred by taking a deeper look at the way your mother treated you and the way her mother treated her. In order to heal these webs, it is important to not habitually react in the same manner. Time heals all wounds, but the hard and holy work of daily self-psychology and meditation works much faster.
According to Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, a cell’s life is controlled by its physical and energetic environment with only a small portion managed by its genes. He discovered this while working with cells in petri dishes. When he created a healthy environment for cells they thrived. When he did not they struggled. By readjusting the conditions for the cells in his petri dishes he could make sick cells well again. This ultimately means that cells are responsive, and change according to their environmental signals.
Understanding this is critical before you become pregnant because it means that the cells within your growing fetus, which are quadrupling and massive rate every second, can be programmed. This is something that the ancient yogis have always known, but now science is catching up. Environmental signals that affect cells are thoughts, beliefs, emotions and nutrition because all of these things are a form of energy. Bruce Lipton’s discovery was a game changer because it was the beginning of the merge between the fields of science and Spirit.
Fertility is a delicate subject and like a flower needs to be discussed with care because when we want something so badly, and what we want does not come fast enough, there is an aching in our hearts that feels like we are being ripped open. When a woman is ready for a child, a gap grows in time and space, and the desire to hold the baby becomes the forefront of her thoughts. I have watched many friends battle with fertility issues and months pass with empty arms, more longing, less control, and a stronger desire for the outcome. I have also witnessed the unbearable loss of children in utero through my patients, which becomes a heavy burden of confusion after months of attempting to become pregnant. If you are trying to get pregnant and have become frustrated with the process, I don’t have all the answers here, as fertility is one of the greatest mysteries of our time, but I have simple theories that may shed some light on the space you are feeling inside. I am going to provide you with ways to better connect to your womb through meditations and the energetics of food.
In ancient times, women’s only focus as a young girl was bearing children, but in the modern day, we are blessed to spread our energy out in many directions. Women now focus on going to school, working, traveling, or buying their own house and have entered this male-dominated world with vigor. Though reaching high levels of our masculine nature can be rewarding, it can also create a dichotomy in our fields that disconnects us from our wombs. Many women spend years focused on achieving their goals and energetically pushed the thought of bearing children out of their field, so when the time comes that they are ready to bear a child, their body, mind, and spirit have to align. Women often have to make up for lost time quickly if they choose to have a baby later in life. Females have to relate to time in completely different ways than males do when it comes to their physical body and having children.
