Conception and Pregnancy a Spiritual Journey, Contends Author
SEATTLE, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Many women are looking for ways to make
spirituality a part of their conception and pregnancy experience, according to
spiritual teacher Walter Makichen.
Makichen is on the forefront of helping couples understand the spiritual
aspects of parenting -- from before conception, through childbirth, and
beyond. He is the author of Spirit Babies: How to Connect with the Child
You're Meant to Have (Bantam Dell, $14) available in bookstores and online
including at
http://www.spiritbabies.com.
"Being a parent requires all the wisdom and love that a person has to
give. If I can help people better understand the spiritual dynamics between
themselves and their children then I feel that I'm being of service," says
Makichen.
Makichen offers couples a spiritual perspective on everything from
infertility and adoption issues, to managing labor with meditation, breathing
exercises, and visualizations. "As a small child I realized that I had been
given a special clairvoyant ability in order to help other people," says
Makichen.
Each chapter in Spirit Babies gives couples breathing and visualization
exercises to deal with all the different issues that can come up around
getting pregnant and having a baby. "I especially wanted to give couples ways
to reduce stress during what can be very stressful situations, like coping
with infertility, or the adoption process. If couples can stay calm and
grounded, I know they can find the pathway they need to take. Sometimes the
best thing a couple can do is trust their intuition in these circumstances,"
notes Makichen.
"My pregnancy and labor experience were amazing. The whole process of
having a child has a very real spiritual element that seems to go unrecognized
in this country," says mom and doula Karin Steuer of Sacramento, California.
To support couples looking at the spiritual elements of conception and
pregnancy Makichen has launched a website at
http://www.spiritbabies.com where people
can share their experiences on message boards, and receive a monthly
newsletter with further tips and insights.
