We want far better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them.-Dora Russell
The desire to conceive is instinctual and primitive. The Source creator designed all species on earth to have innate desires to reproduce. For humans today, this is a much more complicated process. Young women conceive accidentally and struggle to raise a child before they are ready. While older women who have waited many years until they felt ready to have children, struggle to conceive. The medical field has jumped in to create all kinds of medical treatments to aid in conception. Either way you become a parent, it is a magical process and a true blessing.
On a personal level. I chose to conceive when I felt mentally prepared to be a mother. I spent my early twenties consciously preventing pregnancy with various methods. I always imagined I would become pregnant when I was with the right partner and could conceive in the most spiritually conscious way. So when the time was right, I began to do my research on conscious conception. I wanted to prepare mentally and physically for pregnancy and childbirth.
I started consuming a tea blend of nettles, dandelion, and red raspberry leaf everyday in preparation for conception. Nettles support healthy iron levels, which is important for conditions where internal and/or excessive menstrual bleeding is taking place. Nettles also aids proper liver function for hormone balance support. Dandelion, a bitter herb is stimulating to the mucous membranes, which causes them to secrete fluids. Dandelion is a very nutritive herb, helping to support liver health for hormonal balance. Raspberry leaf works to tone the uterine muscles and normalize blood flow during menses. This is one of the best normalizing herbs for the female reproductive organs. Raspberry leaf is astringent, contracting and shrinking internal and external body tissues. It may help prevent hemorrhage due to excessive bleeding, and it helps to reduce bleeding of displaced endometrial tissue.
I meditated with crystals such as moonstone, orange carnelian, unakite, and chrysoprase. These crystals each have properties that aid in fertility and pregnancy. They can be purchased at https://www.etsy.com/shop/HomeInTheHive.
MOONSTONE - This is a wonderfully calming and pain relieving stone. It is associated with the female cycle and rhythms, and helps us to balance our masculine and feminine energies. Moonstone brings in a heightened state of intuition and connection to our body and our growing baby, allowing us to see clearly which choices are best for us during pregnancy. This stone balances hormone imbalances, soothes emotional stress and instills deep feelings of calm and stability. Holding moonstone is like sitting in a peaceful meditation. Physically it helps to prepare the body for a smooth pregnancy and birth, especially helping with digestion, nausea and the proper absorption of nutrients.
ORANGE CARNELIAN - This stone is soothing and warm, bringing in feelings of love and sensuality. It physically helps to boost fertility and stimulates our sexual impulses and desire. Orange Carnelian helps us to feel safe and comfortable, open, motivated, creative and courageous. It is a wonderful tool for assisting in overcoming trauma from any kind of abuse. It calms anger and helps us to release all of our emotional negativity, allowing only positive thoughts to permeate our mind. Physically Orange Carnelian helps with lower back pain and joint pain and ensures a good blood supply to organs and tissues. This can greatly help with promoting good circulation during pregnancy which alleviates aches and pains.
UNAKITE - This is a powerful stone of creative energy and works to ensure healthy physical development for both mother and child during pregnancy. Unakite is incredibly grounding and nurturing to our hearts, providing space for the emotional rebirthing that takes place during conception and pregnancy. This stone works on reconstructing our outdated thought patterns, fears and ideas. Physically it treats diseases of the reproductive system and helps with recovery from any kind of illness. It aids in supporting healthy weight gain during pregnancy and in the growth and expansion of skin tissue, hair, and brain tissue.
CHYRSOPRASE - This is the perfect stone for working on the heart and with relationship issues that arise during pregnancy, as it helps to balance male and female energies. It promotes an atmosphere that is open, receptive and free of compulsive or impulsive thoughts and behaviors. Chrysoprase helps us to feel confident in our independent ability to go through pregnancy and birth, while also working to promote our confidence in those around us, helping us feel safe in our vulnerable state of pregnancy. Physically, chyrsoprase works to protect and heal us from sexually transmitted diseases, skin disorders, and conditions of the heart. It is also an energizing stone and helps to manage pregnancy exhaustion.
I read a book called Spirit Babies by Walter Makichen and it changed my whole view of conception. In the book, the clairvoyant author describes the chakras and how to call a spirit baby to you. This chant gets your spirit baby's attention and focuses their spirit on you. On an energetic level this chant says "I welcome and acknowledge you as part of our family."
-Sit with your spine straight and your feet flat on the floor. Place your left hand palm-up on your left thigh and your right hand palm-up on your right thigh. The fingers of both hands should be facing toward each other.
-Close your eyes and listen to your breath.
-After you are settled, imagine that as you inhale, your breath is being pulled down through the top of your head to the base of your spine. As you exhale, imagine the breath flowing down your legs into the earth. Repeat this pattern for three or four minutes or until you feel ready to continue.
-Focus on the center of your chest. Imagine yourself as a parent calling your child home for the evening.
-Chant "OH, NAH, MAY, AH, SAH, NAH, CHA, OH, NAY, AH." The chant should be done quickly enough to be completed in one breath. If this is too difficult, you can take a breath after the fourth syllable.
-Continue to chant for five minutes or until you feel complete.
-After you have finished chanting, keep your eyes closed--relax and listen to the silence until you are ready to go on to the next meditation.
This type of chanting meditation is great for connecting you with the soul who will become your child. After such a meditation you may have dreams of this spirit baby in different forms. It may become clear that your child is destined to be a boy or a girl. Or they come to you in the form they were in their past life. They may even relay a message to you that will help you prepare for the conception. So pay attention to your dreams during this time and it would even be helpful to write them down first thing in the morning to help you clearly interpret them.

What unravels when we catch a dream? The same energy that spirals a baby into our wombs and again spirals them out. Pure creative energy! -Jeannine Parvati Baker
