Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- Motherhood is a life long path, and has many twist and turns with lessons all along the way. Although there are many books and guides on motherhood, author Darlene Montgomery has taken an approach of what she calls Conscious Mothering.
No matter what you heard or learned before your infant is born, there are some lessons that must be learned in practice and by tuning in to yourself and your child. At times, friends will give you advice that on the surface seems right, but is ultimately wrong for you and your child. At times, you may need to do the opposite of what's been taught to survive your child's infancy, and other stages of development.
To become a conscious mothers says, Montgomery, practice these 10 things:
| | - Listen to your self first.
|
| | - The conscious mother taps in to the infinite and looks for help from intuition and instinct.
|
| | - A Conscious Mothers listens to her own heart and trusts what she feels despite external evidence.
|
| | - Knows that being a conscious mother means pioneering for others.
|
| | - Conscious Motherhood can be about exploring cutting edge ideas and information.
|
| | - You may be mother to the Indigo Child whose way ahead of their development in every respect. This has it's own challenges. People will expect more of your child even thought they are still in many respects just a child.
|
| | - Conscious Motherhood is as much a way as a path and there will be mistakes and times of trial and exploration
|
| | - You will most likely learn as much from your child as you will from others. And then there are time your child seems to be say those insightful things that simply floor you. Sometimes your 4 year-old will have words of wisdom for you that will literally make you stop in your tracks because a child hasn't learned to deny what they know.
|
| | - Or you may have a child with an eating disorder. You may be called upon to explore desperate measures to ensure your child survives.
|
| | - A Conscious mother practices staying in tune through prayer, meditation, spirituality, and living her path with sincerity
|
| | - Walk your talk to be an example to your children and others
