Nesting?!!!
Now would be a good time if any to detox / cleanse the home environment to honour the new arrival with positive, love ,healthy, high vibrations. We're talking lots and lots of houseplants to improve air quality(Especially in the bedroom:) and getting rid of unhealthy and unpleasant negative ions(I'm not saying getting rid of the computer, but minimizing computer time and investing in a computer shield). Getting rid of microwave ovens, Television sets(or at least hide them away for at least the first year to give your precious offspring the best start in life:0). Getting rid of the highly toxic chemicals in cleaning products, bleach, commercial shampoos, shower gels etc. and stocking up on apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, fresh lemons, gram flour, essential oils of tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus, lemongrass, rosemary etc. etc. olive oil instead(All make great household, home, first-aid and beauty remedies.
Tip!
If you're unsure about creating DIY natural recipes from scratch I would recommend the excellent the fragrant pharmacy / home and the other one(Which I both bought many moons ago and can't quite remember the title, unfortunately I don't have them now:( ) by Valerie W I just recall that these books were a well-resourced invaluable reference / recipe book full of natural solutions for home and family. And of course there's the internet too!

Sacred Mantra Chants!
Just love to share with you some lovely, upliting Mantras that inspired me to take up singing, dancing, art again. Print out some copies and chant alone, with baby, friends and family(Really lovely within a group:) Enjoy!
Maha-Mrtyun-Jaya Mantra
The Great Victory over Mortality Mantra.
A prayer to invoke the release of the illusion of limitation (of death)
Om Tryambhakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushti-vardhanam;
Urvarukam iva Bandhanan
Mrityor Mukshiya Ma’mritat
Om Tree-um-bak-um Ya-jarm-a-hay
Soogan-dim Push-tiv-ar-dan-um
Oor-va-rook-am-eeva Band-an-an
Mrit-yor Mook-sheeya Maam-rit-at
Om. We honour Tryambakam, (literally "Three Eyed One" [Siva] symbolising a state of perfect knowledge of the three realms - body, mind, spirit). Our focus on this fragrant state of knowledge increasingly strengthens and nourishes us. Through it, may we be liberated from identification with the mortal body and its certain death, and from the illusion of all limitation, which is like death. May this happen as easily as the ripe cucumber is severed from the vine.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
Om Peace Peace Peace Om
*************************************
A Chant for Wholeness
May all beings be happy.
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
Loka = world
Samasta = the whole (lit. together)
Sukhino = in transcendental happiness
Bhavantu = let there be
Shanti = peace (myself, surroundings & whole world, & all creatures/creation)
*************************************
Shanti Mantras
Asato ma Sat gamaya
Tamaso ma Jyotir gamaya
Mrytor ma Amritam gamaya
From the Unreal, lead me to the Real
From Darkness, lead me to the Light
From Death, lead me to Immortality
Om Poornam Adah Poornam Idam
Poornaat Poornam udachayate
Poornasya Poornam adaya
Poornam eva avashishyate
Om. That is Whole. This is Whole.
From the Whole, the Whole becomes manifest.
From the Whole when the Whole is negated,
what remains again is the Whole.
Saha Naavavatu, Saha Nau bhunaktu
Saha Viryam Karavaavahai
Tejasvinaavadhitamastu
Maa Vidvishaavahai
Om. May That protect us both, teacher and pupil.
May That cause us to enjoy the bliss of liberation.
May we strive to find the true meaning of the scriptures.
May we never quarrel with each other.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om
Om Peace Peace Peace Om
Inspiration
Keep walking though there's no place to get to.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for human beings.
Move within,
But don't move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
If I lose my direction, I have to look for the North Star, and I go north.
That does not mean that I expect to arrive at the North Star. I just want to go in that direction.
Thich Nhat Hanh
As love increases in your mind, harmful forces do not affect you....
The best protection from one who is trying to harm you is to think
"This being wants happiness just as I do.
May this being attain happiness."
The Dalai Lama
Beauty is truth, truth beauty, -
that is all ye know on earth,
and all ye need to know.
John Keats
Zero
Is where the real fun starts.
There is too much counting
Everywhere else.
Hafiz
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves:
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God,
you're playing small does not serve the World.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking,
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us: it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen; just wait.
You need not even wait;
Just become quiet, still and solitary.
And the world will offer itself to you to be unmasked.
It has no choice.
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Franz Kafka

GLOWING new mommy testimonial of the EC method!
Since birth we've had our baby usually on a flat diaper in the house, not attached. Every time she pees we say "pssssss" and every time she's pood we mimic her grunts.
The idea is to associate the sound to the action, and for parents to learn their babies cues.
It's been almost 3.5 months and I was starting to wonder if it was worth it (we've both been peed on many times). Well... yesterday I cued and caught 11/13 eliminations, and last night in bed caught over half too. This morning we are already on something like 6 catches to one miss.
WOW! What a breakthrough! I am so pleased. I've read many stories of babies 8 months old getting on a little potty and going no their own, and 1 year olds being in underwear. Amazing stuff.
For those of you that haven't read about this, it's how most countries not of the first world nations deal with babies. Diapers are a relatively new invention as we know them today.
I'm just amazed I can bring my 3.5 month old to the bathroom to go to the toilet. WOW!
And just so you know.. this is not like the early toilet training of the past decades known to be cruel to the baby. She is so happy when we read her cues and give her the chance to NOT go in a diaper. The grins we get!! Apparently babies from almost birth have bowel control... they only lose it because of diaper training.
WOW WOW WOW!!!
Natural diapers(Bamboo, org cotton, hemp, lavender essential oil, Pure coconut oil, water etc.)and EC method makes sense as those TOXIC disposables / throwaways diapers pollute land and seas posing a thread to everbody(Humans and sea mammels alike:0) and you can be sure they'll be here long after you and bub's children have left these earthly-shores. Most importantly thought your precious buddle of joy will love you all the more for it!
Namaste!

Calling all Moms-to- be: Anyone heard of Elimination Communication?!
As a conscious being, natural health / parenting etc. has been forever close to one's heart. We are at a critical time where we, humans must radiate positive love vibrations , thus change our behaviour as consumers for our children's future on Earth. Do you want to be one of the best moms ever? If so read on!
I have been 95%+ raw for about 6 years (100% at times, less at others). My husband and I eat all organic. We did a 3 month Juice Feast with 4L of juice a day and LOTS of greens before we tried to conceive, and we did conceive the first month after our juice feast. That's pretty amazing in my books. I was 37 at the time, when many struggle for years trying to get pregnant. I am also taking folic acid, Vitamin , and B12 (all good quality brands), but no overall prenatal.
I think different states in Australia have different home schooling requirements. I think it's a little more complex than in Canada, and you might have to get school plans approved by someone before the school year starts, and save example work to show them at reviews... something like that. I do know that many people do it. If you were home schooling (we are going to as well) then you wouldn't need to worry about the vaccine exemption forms.
Often in the mainstream it's made out that things like home schooling are just not possible, and that you can't exempt your child from vaccines, but when you lok deeper there is always a way. Don't worry if you're told YOU MUST.. just look for a different way.
In Australia too I know there was some stuff happening with the laws around midwife's and their ability to supervise home births... I'm not sure what happened in the end if they lost that or not. That would be something to look into. There are some free standing birth centers though that would provide a less hospital birth. And if you read the free digital of The Simple Guide to Living Raw (available for free here) some people go way natural on births.. see Miss Bliss's story.
I am having a home birth sometime in the next month or so. I'm 35 weeks pregnant. I've had the simplest smoothest pregnancy of anyone else I know, and I don't think that's a cooincidence. I had maybe 10 days of morning sickness, and other than occasionally heartburn it's life as usual. It's been great.
Sometime else that will brow your mind away, have a read on Elimination Communication, or read the book Diaper Free. It's possible to work with your baby from birth, and never use diapers. Yep. Swami from the forums here has an 11 week old, who is already doing diaper free. It's all a matter of learning signals, and honouring the babies needs, instead of teaching them to ignore their bodies signals. Lots of people have babies who actually crawl to the potty to use it by 8 months... amazing isn't it? Much better than diapers for 2-4 years.
Another book you definitely want to read is The Continuum Concept. It the best book in my mind on natually raising kids and honouring their place in the world.
