Connecting the child in womb to Divine Consciousness
This is a practice that a mother or a father to be or both can do for the child in womb. The pre-conditions are that the couple or at least one of them are already in daily inner practice. That gives them the capacity to do this practice gently and lovingly for the child in the womb.
When the child is conceived and is in the womb the mother has nine months of nourishing time. All that she feels, thinks and experiences is a direct transfer to the child’s being, conscious and unconsciousness. All inner practices she does including her meditations, healing, chanting, joyful walks and the like, those vibrations permeate within the womb of the child. The child soaks in these nourishing vibrations.
Today we are going to share some very subtle, simple and profound practices that the mother and / or father to be can do for the child in womb. Now the true depth of the practice the couple transfers within the child, depends on their own individual sadhana. This they can separately build up and to that extent they can do this practice for the child.
Guidelines:
This can be done by the mother to be or father to be or both together as a couple.
First you do some practice to become as neutral as possible. For example, be with your natural breath for a few minutes. Or do any of the practices that connects you to the Divine or Higher Consciousness, for example connecting above head, cave of heart, vastness surround or sacred below. Only when you as a mother or as a father or couple feel more neutral, centered and connected to a Higher / Divine consciousness should you begin this practice.
Place your hand on the womb of the mother to be. Now any of the inner practices you do you can place your attention within the body and being of the child and do it there within the child for a very short time. It would be easy for the mother to do as anyway she would feel the child very intimately. The father needs to learn to be neutral and extend his awareness in a neutral way to touch the inner being of the child and wait. Then you would sense the inner body and being of the child and then you can do this inner practice. Some examples are shared below as illustrations.
Connect your breath to the child within the womb of the mother. There is no ‘how to’ for this and neither is it imagination. With a certain extension of your awareness you place your natural breath as it is now within the child in womb. For about thirty to sixty seconds breathe with the child and connect the child to the above, that represents Divine Consciousness and let go.
Another practice can be to take your subtle awareness and connect to the child’s body and being. Remember to keep an attitude of lovingness and an extraordinary good will for a beautiful soul to birth its full potentials with the Grace of Divine and come as a child into this world. And then connect the child to the domain above. Feel some quality that you regularly feel in the above like vastness, quietness, potent nothing-ness, beautiful being-ness, light-filled-ness, spread out joy-ness and a space made of love. Feel one of these qualities present in the above this moment and connect it to the child’s body or being. Do this for a minute or two.
Another practice can be to connect to the child in a similar manner and take your awareness in a neutral and loving way within the child’s heart to their heart’s cave. The mother or father to be can often hear or feel the heartbeat of the child. There a bit deeper you can pause for a few minutes and simply bow down to that space within the child’s deeper heart. Hold the attitude that you are meeting the Divine Being of the child in the womb, within her or his cave of heart. Bow down and offer one or two AUM chants and offer the space to the Divine. Care should be taken that you are doing this in a neutral way and not adding your individual agendas or goals for the child. No ‘masala’ should be added by us. Simply we should bow down to the cave of heart of the child in womb and simply we connect that space to the Divine. We can also close the practice by connecting the cave of the heart of child in womb to the Divine consciousness above. This whole practice can be done in about two or three minutes. When the baby is in womb the intensity of practice should be relaxed and calm. That is why just a few minutes of practice would be sufficient.
