Parenting Ourselves First
Moondragon
Our parenting abilities need to be explored and sound skills obtained long before we ever conceive our first child. Many times we bring emotional "garbage" into our relationships from our childhood and adult life interactions. We need to consciously think about our emotional, physical, and spiritual stability before we invite a new or reincarnating spiritual being to join us as our child. It is a great responsibility to parent a future leader.
As a midwife, I have gazed into the eyes and souls of these special spirits that are being born in our time as our children and grandchildren. They are more aware, intelligent, gifted and perceptive. Many are older spirits from time past and have special paths to tread in this life, to experience and to grow from.
Let us begin our parenting with ourselves... Not all of us have had safe, loving and secure lives. Many of us have been victims of hatred, control and violence. Although we may carry the "scars of experience" within us for the rest of our lives... it is our duty to try to heal the open wounds we pack with us and to break that vicious cycle with our children. Seek out help, if we need it, from our community and spiritual associates. Work on healing our own minds, hearts and bodies before we conceive our children.
