How do I attract the highest soul for the family? What a wonderful question!!!

(1) The very first step is to intend to attract the highest soul for your family.

(2) Become as clear as you can about what you mean by ‘attracting the highest soul for your family’ because that statement will probably mean different things to different people.

Sometimes it can be useful to acknowledge first what you don’t want as this brings you clarity about what you do want.

So for example, if you don’t want tension, arguments etc. They you also know that you do want harmony, peace and fun.

Many of us are operating from the belief that ’pain is necessary for growth’ or that ‘you can’t have it all’.

But we can create it the way we want it. And we can grow into more and more joy without experiencing the contrasts provided by extreme conditions of pain and suffering.

So be clear about what you would love for your baby, for yourself, for your family (focusing in particular on the feelings).

(3) Involve the rest of the family if that feels good.

 You can all join in together asking for the perfect baby who will thrive with you and with whom you will all thrive. You could draw a picture of the family with the new baby and everybody feeling really good, loved, cared for and happy.

(4) Know that it is alright to ask for what you really desire. You are a conscious creator and are here to experience the life that you love.

(5) Trust that it is already given.

So when you conceive and baby comes along just know that this soul is the perfect one for your family.

When we adopt that perspective we can easily see the opportunity for growth in everything that unfolds in your baby’s life.

This last tip also helps you stay grounded in your sacred feminine power because you realise that every situation regardless of how it appears, is calling forth in you your infinite wisdom, commpassion and power to turn challenge into gold.

What images come to mind when you hear the phrase ‘she fell pregnant’?

 The term ‘falling pregnant’ evokes in me an image of a careless woman tripping to the floor. It implies some mishap for sure and sounds as though pregnancy is something that has happened, by chance almost, to this woman.  

‘Falling pregnant’ conceals the truth. It hides the power of the woman who has chosen consciously to bring forth new life into the world through her body. It does not so much as hint at her ability to engage in deliberate creation.

 And it sounds as though her partner has done something to her…overlooking her joyful, conscious participation in co-creation with the father of her baby.

Words matter. They shape our experience. As one book reminds us ‘In the beginning was the word’. 

So I in invite you to acknowledge your power and consider ‘becoming pregnant’, ‘embracing pregnancy’ or ‘allowing pregnancy’ as you consciously participate in the magical conception of your new baby.

Our relationship with our sacred feminine has a significant impact on our experience of fertility, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and of course our relationships.

Yesterday on blog talk radio, Maire Clements, Tracy Gary and myself discussed how we can really honour the Goddess within.

Part of the discussion also tapped into how we can support our babies and children to embrace their own sacred selves (male and female) so they can feel whole and comfortable in their wonderful bodies.

It is up to you to claim the power and gift of Mother’s day for yourself.

If you have experienced miscarriage or are simply trying to have baby Mother’s Day still belongs to you.

Instead of waiting for somebody else to start the ball rolling, celebrate the mother in you by lavishing yourself today with the same love, tenderness and joy as you would if you were your own very welcome, precious, perfect new baby.

In all areas of life we know that our expectations shape our experience.

If we expect pain and suffering then invariably that is what we get. Unless we seek out new information, most of us expect whatever our friends, sisters and mothers have gone through.

So when we are preparing for a birth that we would really love, it is very useful to see first hand what is actually possible and what can be the norm.

Debra Pascali-Bonaro, internationally renowned childbirth expert, has created a film called orgasmic birth.

Thank you Debra.

Maybe you have experienced miscarriages or perhaps it is your age, but for some reason you are in the ‘high risk’ pregnancy category.

And instead of realising that you are a completely unique individual, maybe it seems that books and your gynecologist/doctors keep referring to your pregnancy as ‘high risk’.

But instead of allowing ‘high risk’ pregnancy to be a weight on your shoulders, you can choose to hear it in another way entirely.

If you are more mature or have experienced challenges in your fertility you are high risk for sure….

You are high risk for really appreciating fully this pregnancy.

You are high risk for prioritising the pregnancy in your life.

You are high risk for being really ready to receive this wonderful baby in your life.

You are high risk for being able to embrace fully the gift of parenthood.

So next time somebody refers to yours as a ‘high risk’ pregnancy…nod to yourself and think ’Yes, there is a very high risk that I am going to experience more joy, love and magic than I ever thought possible’.

There are a several different elements of inspired parenting which I will address in a series of posts.

One of the basics of inspired parenting is the whole idea of co-parenting with the Universe, God, Angels or whatever word/image fits for you.

Inspired parents know that they are not doing it alone. They call on the universe to support them in their parenting.

When you believe that you have sole responsibility for your children and their well-being, parenting is an overwhelming task.

When you realize that you are being loved, supported and guided as you parent, you can relax into the joy of parenthood and know that all is well.

As you develop the habit of inviting in the support of the universe around different tasks and situations, you are opening the door to a new level of joy and fulfillment in family life.

This process can begin before birth and indeed before conception.

So ask for what you want, imagine the universe delivering it and allow yourself to experience the success in pregnancy, birth and parenting that you really do deserve.

The only obstacles between you and pregnancy with a healthy baby are your current thoughts and beliefs (some may be unconscious).

So if you are asking this question from a place of joyful expectation knowing that in each moment you are moving towards the dream of becoming pregnant and giving birth to a happy, healthy baby….you are moving towards it.

If you are asking this question from a place of frustration and sadness, the message you are sending out to the universe is one of loss, powerlessness and fear.

In this frame of mind you are actually moving away from the joy of having the baby you want.

So stay focused on the pregnancy and your healthy baby. Imagine the circumstances in which you would love to conceive your baby.

See yourself glowing in pregnancy with a beautiful, big bump. Visualise the birth and baby emerging safely and gently with ease.

Hear the midwife congratulating you on your healthy, happy baby.

Feel fully the joy of that. Feel baby on your breast. Smell your baby. Hear the first cries.  

Revisit this scene often. And trust that it is coming at the very perfect moment for all of you.

In joy,

This one minute video summaries research that looked at how the power of intention can influence the food we eat and its effect on us.

http://oneminuteshift.com/videos/dean_radin/intentional_chocolate

In the experiment those who ate the chocolate that had been ‘infused’ with positive thoughts felt much better than the control group.

How does this apply to you?

Well ,if you are trying to become pregnant, you can begin to intend that everything you eat is infused with fertility enhancing energy.

In pregnancy you can intend that your meals are laced with health, vitality and paving the way for a gentle, safe birth.

If breastfeeding, you can intend to add the energy of abundant milk, relaxation and deep, easy, successful connection with baby.

When feeding your baby (with the breast or otherwise), you can visualise vitality, happiness and well-being on every level being absorbed easily by your very happy baby.

To support your relationship, play with the idea that every bite brings more laughter, support and delight for you both.

In joy,
