Conscious Conception

We all talk about having a Happy and Healthy child but somewhere the concept of having a mindful child is still missed out. 

It was 1st Jan 2019 late night, the world was immersed in the celebration and we were enjoying watching everyone on television. Back of my mind, I was thinking that this time my pregnancy test should come positive.

Me: Let me go and test with pregnancy kit.

My husband: (happily) Yes let's do it.

After some time...

Me: Negative (sigh)

My husband: Maybe you should check after 2 weeks

After 2 weeks, on 10th Jan 2019, I tested myself and the test came positive. Hurreeyyyy!!!
We hugged each other and thanked God silently :)
The next day we got checked the same by gynecology who confirmed the presence of HCG hormone in my body confirming that -Yes its a Good news for both of us. I was 5 weeks pregnant.

Our joy knew no bounds. We informed our parents and everyone was happy. Everything seemed like a dream. Now the biggest challenge in front of me was to create a mindful child. Though I was always very clear in my mind the kind of baby I wanted How part of the question was still unclear.

I began my research, read several articles, commentaries and learned about Garbhsanskar which is believed as the oldest tradition in India. It means- training the mind of your newly conceived baby. However, science claims that the brain of a child develops from the second trimester, but in fetal psychology and neuroscience, it is clearly mentioned how a child starts absorbing things from mother from the very first day she conceives.

Keeping all these things in my mind, I started my journey. Apart from feeding healthy food to my body, I also started feeding healthy thoughts to my mind as well. Slowly I started realizing that the more happy and grateful hormones I secrete in my body, the more happily my baby will be immersed in those happy hormones.

My Feelings :

Before understanding conscious conception, I was under complete ignorance of how the mind and body of the mother completely responsible for creating her child. Mother is the artist of her baby's mind. Until this point whatever stories I have heard all started making sense and finally I was able to connect the dots.
Gently, the idea of being fully cognizant towards the inner life inside me started making true sense.
