Prenatal Universe
Ancient wisdom, transpersonal psychology and cutting
edge biology, invite us to revise the way we understand the importance of the
gestation of a human being.
When a couple embraces the adventure of parenting even
before physically conceiving their children, they step into a powerful
dimension of their inner life. Prebirth parenting sets the stage for a myriad
of possibilities and conscious choices that will nurture the inner strength of
parents and their children throughout many, many years.
Pregnant women give of their own substance for the
formation of their children’s organs, and psyche. The physical and mental
health of an adult is deeply rooted in his or her womb life.
And
most of the problems we face today can be traced to our conception and our
formation in the womb…
From immune system disorders to terrorism, from
committing suicide to devising weapons of mass destruction, from child abuse to
political corruption and from alcoholism to trashing the environment, we are
somehow dealing with a lack of self love or a lack of love for others…
Brain science and state of the art cell biology
confirm the findings of transpersonal psychology as well as sacred teachings of
long ago: what we experience during prenatal life deeply influences our life
choices and the way we live. Very early in our mother’s womb we learn that we
are worth being loved or not, and if life is worthwhile or not… Throughout life
we have a mighty tendency to “honor” the lessons we have received in utero.
It is up to societies around the world and their
public authorities, to foster the well-being of expecting mothers, so that they
feel empowered and inspired to weave a luminous, caring and healthy humanity
for planet Earth. Nature has endowed mothers with the gigantic task of
birthing civilizations...
Pregnancy is thus a most crucial stage of parenting
and also the most neglected one for the last millennia. It is time we explore
the fecund universe of pre-birth parenting.
