What Babies Want - beginning the ayurvedic discussions. Enlivening devel sight

[Guest guest]

Thinking about your comment, the video being a drop in the bucket...

We have not begun to discuss the ayurvedic approach to what babies

want. It is a wonderful topic, I enjoyed sitting in on a day of class

with Ayurvedic midwife Terra Raphael of Boulder, Colorado

(www.wisewomanhood.com)reviewing and learning new things.

 

Babies do let us know what they want and need by changing our

physiology - hence different appetites. They definitely want good

quality nourishment in addition to loving relationships. Dr. Lad

recommends during the pregnancy to lean the food choices according to

the mothers' condition at the time, not according to her body type so

much, because this way she can fill this particular developing soul's

needs and karmic pattern desires also. But if the craving is not

generally considered healthy, the advice is to eat a little and see if

the craving is satisfied. Sometimes the craving will represent need

for some particular nutrient, known to the mother in some thing not

good to eat a lot of.

 

WE can look at the gestational periods in terms of which sense or

other key development stage is happening, and plan gatherings of

girlfriends, or friends in general, to enliven the particular sense.

 

Such as in the third month, sense of sight. I'd like to open the

discussion to ways to enliven the sense of sight - Im sure we can

think of many...?

 

In the 4th month, the mind begins functioning. Particularly, around

experiencing past life events in the womb. Heartbeat becomes audible.

It is a great time to begin communication intentions with your unborn,

and to include some brahmi and perhaps arjuna also particularly if Mom

has shown some weakness in the heart or high blood pressure. in tea

or herbal formula for her.

 

Also 4th month, sense of taste is under some key development...

 

Students and practitioners of ayurveda, please join in if you have a

few minutes to share your insights and wisdom. I can't take the time

for a long piece right now, but there is of course lots we can discuss!

 

Love,

Ysha

Maybe the way I enlivened my sense of sight when I was in the early months of

pregnancy (38 years ago) was watching videos of babies growing in utero.

Couldn't get enough.

Also I craved Taco Bell tacos. Now I think my was needing nuts, seeds, avocados

and other much needed fats. My doctor had me on a diet to not gain more than 30

pounds. So I didn't and my baby was only 6-13 and I'm 5'6 " .

How to listen to our own intuition is such an important thing to focus on and to

teach young women.
