Pregnancy

During pregnancy the actual physical brain shrinks slightly and the primitive brain becomes more active. This is what is known as Pregnancy Brain. It’s a very real situation. One will find that once pregnant, the woman finds it difficult to remember things, date, prices, facts etc. She will herself be suprised at being illogical at times or she will finds it difficult to do any kind of planning. Her left brain is somewhat subdued in this phase.

On the other hand her right brain will be more active. She will suddenly have spurts of creativity during her pregnancy. She will see herself going through many emotional surges throughout the day. Though scientifically we know there’s a lot of hormonal changes happening in her body, which is resulting in her mood swings. But, it also means if she enhances these new capabilities she has acquired, she can really enjoy her pregnancy.

So, taking up activities which stem from her right brain is a great idea. Right brain is a centre for creativity so doing any form of creativity like artwork, rangoli designs, bottle painting, photography, graphic designs, she will find herself making beautiful pieces of artwork effortlessly. Even, learning a language, reading poetry or simple dancing over music is also related with right brain.

So, enjoy your pregnancy with this special capabilities. And, take it to your workplace as well as personal life. Like initiating creativity in developing a new software or a new product or just taking initiative in creating a new ambience in your workplace are just some ideas.
Have fun!

As per Ayurveda, pregnancy is a phase when two hearts are beating in one body. It’s a beautiful way of looking at this stage. To take this concept further, it’s also a time when two consciousnesses are close to each other and interacting through one common medium (mother’s body).

This proximity- physical and spiritual becomes the open pathway for exchange of thoughts, ideas, feelings thereby enabling the integral development of the new life over a period of 9 months. The new life which is growing in the womb is being nurtured in all aspects-The Physical, The Mental and The Vital. Physical is the material aspect like good food she takes in and the healthy lifestyle that she follows. Mental is the thoughts that she has from reading, watching, listening to whatever is happening around her or what she does while scrolling her mobile. Vital is the energy formed out of feelings and the deeper world view that a mother holds.

In other words, conscious parenting begins as early as conception.
