MIND BUILDING  

IN UTERO  

Jan. 24, 2012

Because I have worked with so many people whose difficulties are based in their mother's mental state while she was pregnant with them (found through regression therapy for healing), I am providing this very special article for you with Yogi Bhajan's instructions for women when they are with child, as well as guidance for those around her.

Another fact is that while a woman is pregnant, her own mother's mental and emotional difficulties at the time that the daughter was in utero may actually come up to be played out during the daughter's own pregnancy. For instance, if the mother was insecure, or didn't want the child, the grown-up daughter who is now pregnant may find those thoughts and feelings flowing through her, even though she can't find a "base in the reality" for them.

How extraordinary that our mental states can be so powerfully handed down through the generations!

The following article is from the book "The Ancient Art of Self-Healing" by Yogi Bhajan, edited by Dr. Siri Amir Singh Khalsa, DC, copyright 1982 by Yogi Bhajan and Dr. Khalsa, p. 40. This book is now out of print.

MIND BUILDING by Yogi Bhajan

"It is a simple idea that out of the woman comes the human generations. Whatever her mind is, that will be imprinted on the child during pregnancy, which is 9 month and 4 days, exclusive of the day of conception.

Whatever she conceives and imagines her child should be, that will be the structure built up in the child in the first 120 days, because there is no soul in the first 120 days. When there is no soul, there is no mind.

After 120 days, her behavior will imprint on the child's mind. So actually the child's mind is built while the child is in that pregnancy. This is why as a rightful ritual after 120 days we ask the woman to come and all the relatives come around and bring her presents.

She is relieved of all hard duties and is assured sympathy, because with the biological and psychical changes the woman goes through during pregnancy, she normally becomes insecure in those days.

The second month she doesn't want to eat, she starts vomiting normally and feels bad about food. The third month she is tired, and the fourth month, when the soul enters, she is less effective; she wants to rest more.

Now all these changes look unusual to men. They don't understand. But her total structure inside changes, her metabolism changes, the composition of the important ingredients like metals and vitamins change. Therefore, those months she is required to be in circumstances which are very secure, respectable, comfortable and in which she can have a lot of understanding around her.

We always know how to raise the rose bush, but we never have tried to study how to raise our children. Our children are actually raised within those 9 months of pregnancy and development. Those are very important days of life of the child."

From Siri-Gian Kaur:

So, if you know someone who is pregnant, or you are contemplating pregnancy, please be very sure that all know these very important facts.

Now, if you are pregnant and have any of these seemingly "out of nowhere" emotional challenges, please set about healing them. In your meditative mind, become very clear about what they are, and then find meditations to melt their hold over you. Deeply, meditatively forgive all concerned so that the ties to those emotions may thaw and evaporate. Use your mantra to break out of their hold.

And then Love, Love, Love! Love the baby, love yourself, your environs, your partner and all. Do heart breath all the time.  Sing songs of goodness and greatness to the child, and free yourself to be fully ready to receive this precious new Soul into the world. Don't pressure yourself, but do know that what you implant in the child at this point will not only affect him or her for their whole lifetime, but also affect all the generations that come after.

Best to relax in Guru Ram Das and Divine Mother--Adi Shakti and sing their blessed songs to your baby as beautiful, expansive lullabies. Snatam Kaur and her mom, Prabhu Nam Kaur have made a wonderful CD called "Divine Birth, Meditations, Shabads and Songs for your Child in Pregnancy and Life." And anyone may listen to it in their own healing/rebirthing process as well--pregnant or not.

Yogi Bhajan always said that Jesus was so great because his mom always told him that God was his father, and he lived up to that. What can you tell your baby? Or what will you tell yourself as you rebirth your own self? You can do that, you know. You truly have the power!

Lots of Love,

Siri-Gian Kaur
