Gentle Self-Care Practices To Help You Conceive Your Baby

Over the past 12 years, I have had the absolute honour of helping many women conceive their babies through Reiki, Feng Shui and crystal healing.

I love working with all my clients, and the ones who come to me for support with conception hold a special place in my heart. I always feel the presence of their babies in Spirit as we work together. There is something completely magical about feeling these wise Souls preparing to come into their mama’s body, and helping these lovely women get ready for their pregnancy.

And when the babies are born, the joy I feel when I receive pictures from their parents and get to see them in their little bodies - there are no words to adequately explain how powerful that experience is!

If having a baby is something you are preparing for, I have some gentle self-care practices that can help you align your mind and body to receive your little one. These practices aren’t just for mama - they are for all parents. Both you and your partner can benefit from these simple, self-care practices to welcome in your baby.

Take care of your body.

The physical body is one of the first things that you likely think about when getting ready for pregnancy. And with good reason; it’s important to create an environment where you and baby can thrive.

Here are some ways to care for your body during this special time:

Drink more water - Pure, filtered water is ideal. This not only helps your body function more effectively, but it also helps your energy flow more optimally.

Eat healthy, nourishing foods - Choose organic when possible, and eat plenty of fruits and veggies. No matter what type of diet you follow, wholesome, simple recipes are best. Give your body the foods it is asking for, and eat on a regular schedule. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are key to keeping you nourished and energized. Eating regular, wholesome meals supports your body and your emotional wellness too.

Get plenty of rest - Make sure you are going to bed at a consistent time each night and waking up at a consistent time each morning (even on days off) to support your body's natural rhythm. Quality rest helps regulate hormones, reduce stress, and keeps your mind, body, and emotions in balance.

Meditate.

It’s a good idea to incorporate a daily morning meditation practice when you are ready to conceive. Meditation has so many benefits. It’s a wonderful way to quiet down any uncomfortable thoughts and emotions you may be dealing with, and start cultivating more peace, comfort, ease, and trust in this process. It’s also a beautiful way to connect with the Spirit of your baby.

Work with crystals.

There are several crystals that are wonderful to help you conceive your baby. My favourites are: Rose Quartz, Rainbow Moonstone, and Carnelian.

Here are the benefits of each:

Rose Quartz: Rose Quartz is the crystal of unconditional Love. Its feminine energy nourishes the heart, as it offers a sense of deep peace and Well-Being to its wearer. A beautiful crystal for encouraging a love for oneself and others, Rose Quartz is excellent for calling in a loving relationship and supporting existing relationships in all their forms. It's also a wonderful support for fertility and pregnancy.

Rainbow Moonstone: Rainbow Moonstone blesses one with the energy of joy and optimism. It is a stone of Light, fertility and resonates with goddess energy. A beautiful support for new beginnings, Rainbow Moonstone assists all stages of pregnancy, from conception to postpartum, and helps women embrace the transition into motherhood.

Carnelian: Carnelian fills the body with life force and invites joyful energy into one's being. It gifts one with the courage to change and dedicate themselves to a new path. It encourages empowerment, warmth and confidence. Carnelian supports and balances the entire reproductive system.

You can wear your crystals as jewellery, meditate with them, or simply place them on your body while you are resting. Just having them in your energy field will be beneficial, and they will support you throughout all stages of your pregnancy and beyond.

See your favourite healing practitioners regularly.

Whether it’s Reiki, massage, reflexology, Bowen therapy, etc., seeing your favourite healing practitioners regularly can help relax your body and mind, soothe your emotions, and help you prepare for pregnancy.

Depending on the type of healing practitioner you see, you can also receive messages from your baby while they are in Spirit, which can be a very reassuring experience.

When clients see me for Reiki when they are ready to conceive, I feel the presence of their babies, and can share the messages they have for their parents. It’s a very special moment for everyone involved.

Relax and trust.

This is a big one. Welcoming your baby into your life comes with an element of faith and trust. You have to cultivate trust in the Non-Physical realm; the space where your baby’s Spirit currently resides.

The more you take care of your mind, body and emotional state, the more you will naturally begin to trust this process of conceiving your child. For some, this happens very quickly, and for others, it takes a little bit of time.

Wherever you are on your journey, be kind and gentle with yourself. There is a reason that you want to give birth to your child, and it's because this little one wants to come into the physical realm, through you.

Your baby is meant to be yours. Trust that this Soul will come to you in perfect, Divine timing, and everything will unfold perfectly. ❤️
