Mother Birth

002. What is Conscious Conception?


Listen Later

What is Conscious Conception? In short, Conscious Conception is the process of learning to receive life. It’s the very opposite of expecting pregnancy to happen. In Ayurvedic medicine and yoga therapy, we recommend three to six months to prepare for pregnancy and to promote fully body healing BEFORE baby.

Why? Because Conscious Conception supports healthy and sustained pregnancies, healthier birth outcomes, and eventually a healthier postpartum experience. This episode will offer practical ways to support healing in the body-mind-spirit continuum on your Conscious Conception journey.

I talk about why we must expand the perinatal definition beyond what Western medicine dictates in order to prevent traumatic experiences and to support thriving life – for mothers AND babies. And, I apply the Kosha Model of yoga therapy to this conversation. If you are thinking of conceiving a baby, struggling with fertility, or simply interested in the topic of Conscious Conception, you are in the right place. I am grateful to you and honored to have you listening in.
