In this episode of The Calmer Mom Podcast, we are joined by John Ashford, an Access Consciousness® facilitator and life coach. John shares his insights on the importance of creating a loving and nurturing womb space for the emotional and energetic well-being of a child, and the role men can play in that We also discuss the impact of one's environment during pregnancy, ways to shift our own energies, and the sacredness of the divine feminine.
What was talked about in this episode:
- The importance of creating a nurturing womb space and the impact it has on a child's emotional and energetic wellbeing, and the role men can play in that.
- How our emotional state and environment during pregnancy can affect a child's development and their future relationships.
- John's work with men in the Portland program called "Soi" which helps them embrace their inner kings and support their partners during pregnancy.
- The power of self-love, forgiveness, and seeing ourselves and others as a "poem in the palm of God's hand" (Note: We got the lyric a bit wrong; it’s actually “every singe soul is a poem written on the back of God’s hand.” Apologies to Michael Franti. Thank you for all your beautiful lyrics and music. You are a poem!)
Key takeaways:
- Stop the guilt and judgment, and choose to be kind to yourself, especially during pregnancy.
- Honor yourself and your partner, and create a space of love and connection for your child.
- Embrace the concept of being a "poem in the palm of God's hand" and see how it changes your perspective and relationships.
