What do you do when your partner is not in the same space as you or you are moving at different energetic paces? Do you wait and hold their hand through the process or keep on moving forward in your own spiritual development and hope they can keep up? Kateryna has been trying to start a family for almost a year today, but has some crushing news this week. Her husband is not feeling the same way and is questioning their entire marriage. This leaves her with a decision to make on how to proceed with her life. We talk about making decisions based on the heart and not from the mind. As we awaken many of the people and places that were once familiar dissolve away in order to allow new energy of some form to move in.

Sue just suffered from a miscarriage, but this loss taught her that she had a lot to sort out in her life before having a baby. Experience her deeper healing as we discuss how the man in her life reflects all of her negative belief systems and insecurities back to her. We talk about a common issue between many couples: fear of abandonment and loss. Until she heals these issues she can’t find fulfillment, as our inner world reflects the outer. We must meet our most basic needs in life such as shelter, stability, safety, home life and security before moving up the ladder to our higher spiritual desires. These basic needs must be met before having a baby.

In this episode, I talk about my next book Fertile, which will be released in 2019. You will learn how to match your frequency to higher dimensions to attract a high caliber soul, how to enhance your fertility or sensory system by matching nature, and how generational patterns can create unbalance in your bodies elements causing havoc.
I discuss each of the elements and as they relate to certain physical issues that can be held within your body. If these issues are not healed they will manifest and creep into every part of your life. They will also be passed on to your children creating the belief systems and core components of the child’s genome. The following information is based on my teacher Celestine Star’s life work, my personal experiences and those of my clients. As you read along with each of the elemental relationships make a note in your journal all the places that you recognize yourself or another person. Write it down because I will teach you how to release it later.

There comes a moment when life gets so hard or something feels so overwhelming that we just have to surrender to a higher power. This moment of falling to our knees and asking for help may arrive after a long battle of fighting with ourselves and our own demons. The process of becoming pregnant is a process of awakening. You have to let go of all the parts of yourself that wants to control how it happens. Listen to Kateryna’s journey again today where she has come to a moment of pause in her life. She is reflecting on the decision to get IVF or not.

Soul Retrieval : Healing Your Inner Child : Learning to Mother Yourself ...Learn how to trust more, let go of control, how the past effects the present, and steps to rescue your inner child. In this live healing session and intuitive reading I help Sara continue to clear generational patterns and past trauma during her pregnancy. Sara has a negative coworker in her life and we find out in the session that he represents an old boyfriend she needs to let go of. If you had any past trauma - that part of you may still be living within your subconscious. I will teach you the importance of rescuing all the parts of yourself unhealed from the past. Here is a writing exercise you can use to heal your inner child taken from my soon to be released book: Fertile.
Healing Your Inner Child: Learn to Mother Yourself
List all your traumas or dramas between the ages of 0 and 12 (if your mother has got some really good in-utero ones list those too).
Rescue your inner child and begin to mother her. This can be done at one age or multiple. You can find this child in any memories that still haunt you or memories left unhealed.
Take some time to tell this child that you love her and she is not alone. Hold her and make sure she knows how cared for she is. You can even hold a pillow while doing this. Allow any tears to flow or screams to arise.
Go into the memory – the actual room of the trauma or drama – and pick up this child. Carry her out of the house or place her somewhere that feels safe and secure. Create a loving home for her and a place that you can return to in meditation. Make sure she has all the amenities to keep her happy.
Talk to the perpetrators or past caretakers – whoever it is that caused you pain. You must be the adult that shuts them down because in the deep subconscious mind this is still happening to you in the present moment. Whatever the subconscious mind needs to do in order to dissolve the issues, do it. Put these adults in parenting school, bring angels in to take care of them, take them to a healing place, put them in jail or take them to court. Do something in your mind’s eye that releases the pain and creates justice.
By mothering yourself you will become a better mother. If these wounds are left unhealed they will creep back into your own experiences - triggering you - while raising your children. The cycle stops with you.
