Preconception

Conscious conception.

It means so many things to different people. For some, it is the act of calling in the soul of the child. It means communicating consciously with our unborn babe, like we are perched on the edge of the Grand Canyon and whether we are whispering to the wind or sending a booming call out- we say, “For you child, I/We Are READY!” For others, conscious conception is about intentionally preparing the physical body for the rigors of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. The truth is we live in a toxic world that continues to be polluted with plastics, pesticides and industrial residue. We are seeing alarming statistics in the growing trends of children born with neuro-developmental disorders, autoimmune conditions, and childhood cancers are on a rapid incline. We will be seeing tremendous shifts in the social and financial structures of our culture, as the sheer number of life-long dependents continues to rise without the support systems in place to care for them. It will become increasingly relevant that as we are ready to embark our way into the phase of life where pregnancy is not an “oops” and can be purposely prepared for, choosing a path of conscious conception will give the best opportunity to experience a vital pregnancy and a thriving experience postpartum. In truth, the ability of our species to thrive may depend on it.
