MEDITATION MEDITATION for CHILDREN AND TEENS It is beneficial for very young babies to attend meditations and be immersed in a refined space. This will raise the vibration of their energy field, and it will certainly affect their psychological development positively in the long run. E ven before a baby is born meditation can play an important role. The pregnant woman who meditates is providing an exceptionally welcoming and nurturing environment for the coming soul. When she sits in deep silence, both her energy field and that of the child are strengthened and purified. During meditation she can focus on sending loving vibrations to the child. A fetus can easily pick up on any negative or harsh emotions around the mother, but will also delight in her bliss. If the pregnant woman spends much time in a spiritual environment, fewer complications during pregnancy, resulting from the resistance of the child to incarnate, can be expected. Meditations by the father and relatives around the time of birth will help settle the atmosphere and set a welcoming tone. If birthing is done at home candles can be used to purify the space. A child who is born into a setting brimming with spiritual energy will find the transition out of the womb easier to support. Most souls do not spend much time in the physical body for the first few weeks of life, but they will feel an attraction to a spiritual household. 68 www.yogicherald.com Apr./May 2019
