Why is it that even though there is a baby growing inside of her, when a woman is pregnant she feels alone?
Well, not your typical sense of loneliness that stems from isolation or lack of social interaction, but rather the “no one else in the world is feeling what I am feeling” inner dialogue.
Where is this inner yearning coming from? Why is it there? How can it be that from the beginning of time when Adam and Eve bore children, there have been over 120BILLION pregnancies (yes that is a real number!) and yet somehow with each pregnancy parents feel different, unique and the aloneness of the unknown?
Could this phenomena be the soul of the baby, soon to be entering into this world as a force of pure Light, knocking on the virtual door to it’s Earthly World and reminding its parents, “Remember Me! I have so much to share with you before I am born!” A babies otherworldly existence, juxtaposed with the heaviness of the body consciousness during pregnancy can create a vaguely familiar essence of the magic of the unseen, of the unknown.
Acknowledging the voice of the soul (of the soon to be born baby) and the soul of the expecting parents into the present conversation of “loneliness” will change the narrative; as abstract as it may seem, it is actually pretty simple to practice.
The expecting parents can begin by closing their eyes and asking their soul to connect on a soul level with their baby inside, next they can place their hands on their lower abdomen and listen inside for a few moments. Then they can start to speak to their baby and let their baby know that they are present with them and would love to engage in “Soul Talk”. Then they can begin to let their baby know that they would love to bridge the world of the soul with the world of the physical and learn more about them on a soul level and at that point they can ask their baby questions and feel, listen, experience their answers.
It can be helpful to have some questions prepared like:
“Why do I feel disconnected?”
“What can you share with me that I need to know about our connection?”
“I’m worried about ______________, can you shed some insight on this aspect of my pregnancy from a soul level?”
“What should I do when I feel lonely?”
In truth, any questions can be the right questions! The exercise is to show up and practice and with practice the parents will be able to connect more and more with their soul inside. Remember, the lonely feelings are there for a reason, as reminders that on the soul level there is SO much more going.
